About

Lee's Sandwiches at San Jose City Hall is a casual counter-service spot known primarily for Vietnamese banh mi with a surprisingly broad vegan menu including items like vegan char-siu buns and tofu deluxe sandwiches. The location is wheelchair accessible but has some concerns about cleanliness and parking, with generally fast service and affordable prices. Vegan fillings, especially tofu and plant-based meats, receive positive mentions even though some complain about inconsistent staff knowledge and the condition of the interior.
