Does anybody like these Vietnamese submarine sandwiches called bánh mì here? There is this one place called "Lee's Sandwiches" that sells a lot of these and I go there to order some of those. I usually take out the jalapeno slices though cuz they're too hot.

OMG!!! i love those!!!! i always eat them..!!

the bbq pork is my fave then the chicken!! i leave the jalepenos in them cause i like it hot! ^^

love it!! especially after a long day at school hahaa

i usually go to the one in fullerton. but there are tons of them in orange county. that lee is one rich guy. the sandwiches used to be around a dollar and a quarter, but they raised the prices over the years. i dont like their special meat. the texture is similar to rubber. i do like their grilled chicken, however.

I like sandwiches with chả lụa the best~

haha yea true that!! but i always forget to take them out when i eat them. i like there carrots too.

i get sick of them if i eat them all the time. but they're so yummy~ i always take out the green leafy thingy. i forgot what they're called. :x i don't like eating them. ><
i like Melbourne's version~ SO YUMMMMMM!

sometimes I put some mayo or another slice of meat inside

I dont like the green hot peppers, I take it out

They are definitely my fave sandwiches of all time. There's a Lee's sandwich place in Milpitas and I thought they were overpriced. In Oakland Chinatown, I can get them for $1.50 or $1.75. I remember them being 99cents when I was younger though. I love the jalepenos pepper with them.

ooooh those are the best on the go food when u dont have time for something fancy. mmmmm delicious.

banh mi oh yeahh
i love the bbq pork one, although i'd eat any of them.. they're all pretty good
lee's sandwiches aren't really good imo. the taste is kinda bland.
i like a whole bunch of other small shops that sell them.. their bread seems fresher and the meats are seasoned better + they stuff it more than lee's. not to mention they're a lot cheaper too. :|

lee's does have goood hot wings though. and those green looking waffle/pancake things!
and they sell those huge crossaints at a pretty good price. esp. if you buy them the day after... it's three for $1.50 and they're HUGEEE so you really get your money's worth

ohhhh yummy!!! Makes me want to go get some right now!! I like the ones with thit nguoi in them - sorry...on work comp so no accents. I love the jalapenos!

ohmygosh!

my favorite food behind vietnamese pancakes(banh xeo)!!!

banh mi dac biet please!! buy 5 get 1 free =P



i love cilantros!!

I also love banh mi. My great aunt who visited California several times bring back Lee's Sandwiches banh mi and it doesn't taste as good as I heard people raved about. The banh mi they sell in my city taste much better, lots more meat and lots more flavor. However, the banh mi that I ate when I was in Viet Nam is the best one there is. And I don't like the Vietnamese pepper to be in my banh mi either, but I love "do chua" pickled daikon and carrot and paté in my banh mi.

dude, this thread makes me hungry...lol
yeah, i like lee's sandwiches, but there are other banh mi stores that are good as well..

i love banh mi cha lua!!! *drools* , lee sandwich is pretty good but its not the best. i usually like my bread more "bread-ish" hahahaha but other than that lee sandwiches is the way to go! my mom really likes that there bread is thin. so yeah who ever love thin baguettes would love lee sandwichs

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I LOVE THOSE! how do you say it..banh mi? o-o we always just called them vietnamese sadniwches

are these sandwiches a French invention or Vietnamese & French ?

I think it's a combination of French because of the type of bread ,and the pate spread [both French in origin]

the type of meats and veggies are more asian influence / viet

I work at a little Vietnamese cafe and make banh mi and tapioca drinks (we have other stuff, but the kitchen staff does the stuff like pho).

I like them a lot and usually make a bbq pork one with extra cucumbers and cilantro w/ no carrots or jalapenos for myself on break.

i think they are influenced by french too cus back in the days wasn't vietnam like really influenced by the french? o-o
i know in cambodia, when i was there, they had a khmer name for those banh mi sandwiches and its a french name o_o but it sounds sorta like banh mi but it has the french-y part like "bat-tae" LOL

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Oh those are so good !
I buy the ones in Chinatown because they're bread is soft and tastes better ^^

bánh mì means sandwich 8-)
isnt their another word after bánh mì? i forget what it is but yah
and no i hate that stuff. LOL
i use to have to eat it for lunch like EVERYDAY.
got soooo sick of it and now i hate it

I love those! But the store I go to raised the price and puts less ingredients in the sandwiches.

Omg i love Lee`s sandwich i ate it like twice this week!

yup good stuff =) I've actually found a recipe for it so Im trying to make it now =P at first i was dumbfounded by the carrot slaw they put in it =S

Those are like the BEST sandwiches in the world. I LOVVEEEE Viet sandwichs. Yum. Now I wish I had one.

I've never actually had one, but at the asian corner mall here, the vietnamese store makes them & sells them, 3 for $5.00 -- about a foot long each with tons of stuff

o_o

Maybe i should give them a try sometime

i wish they would cut the meat and veggies into smaller pieces. i'm not a lion. i can't eat whole pieces of meat like that

I loveeeeeeeeee those. My mom makes them too and they're so good

i love pretty much all of them,
i get one like once a week and
we are like family friends with the owner of lees sandwiches
but im not sure if they own the whole chain or what not. lol x

Who the hell doesn't like banh mi?

They were influenced by the French because the French used to rule Vietnam. x]
Viet bakeries are also french influenced, too.

Mmmm. Yes, Banh Mi is GOOD! I dun like Lee's Sandwiches though. ;
Their baguettes get hard after a while.

The one here in Melbourne, Springvale~ ROCKS! It's got the crunchy pork, grilled chicken, nem nuong, and some other one i forgot. With the black bean sauce, Sweet carrots, cucumber, spring onion. *droools* I don't like those meat ones in that picture u posted. It's $3.50AUD here~~ Expensive, I remember they use to be $1!

Ohh I love those. My favorite one is the ham one.

isn't banh mi literally translated to 'bread' ?? o______o;;
ANYHOO i like `em with chicken and lots of the sour stuff, carrots&etc :]

it's alright, don't mind eating one once in a while

*droools*
ahhh these are d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s!!!! i really like to eat the pork and chicken ones!
esp if theres chilli on it! but it takes me a while to finish one cuz they're so big and all~

me >_> i seriously dont D:

I LOVE IT>________<

here in australia we usually call it vietnamese roll/ pork roll (월람빵) ..and they sell it at the viet bakeries

SO YUMMY..esp with fresh bread

i likle it HOT with chilies, and everything in it all the veggies..so fresh and nice...i usually eat the pork one

Banh Mi is definitely a Vietnamese dish and creation. Although it use some of the French ingredients such as the French inspired baguette and paté. I don't know if it is because the French bakeries where I lived suck or not, but I don't like the way they made their baguettes versus the way Vietnamese stores made it. For one thing, their baguettes get hard as a brick after you leave them out for a day, and I can leave plain banh mi outside for a week and the inside is still soft and the outside still crunchy.

i think thats what i eat.. not sure but since someone mentioned jalapeno peppers ima just think its what i eat.

i always take out teh jalapeno peppers and i only eat the 1 with the cooked pork roll meat or the one thats iunno.. my friend eats teh shredded pork one

haha. those are good. here in CA, they sell a lot of those in Lee Sandwich, Mr. Baguette, and other vietnamese resturants or to go places. (=

i've never had those before, but it looks yummy

The spicy ones are a bit much for me, but yum I love them. Vietnamese food is awesome <3

I HATE THEM!!
bleh.

My sister likes them though...

Yum. Banh mi is good, especially when i'm in a hurry to get somewhere. I usually go to Lee's Sandwiches too, but that's not exactly the best places to get banh mi. If i have time, i'll usually go down to garden grove & find one of those little banh mi shops ^^

I loveeeeee banh mi! I used to eat dat biet a lot, but now it changed to that chicken one at Banh Mi Saigon. <3
Goodness, I can never get tired of banh mi. I love the meat with the red border or something, lol, but don't know what they're called. It's not thit nuong.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE!!
