Lee's Bakery

Lee's Bakery is one of the many Vietnamese restaurants in Buford Hwy. Like the name implies, it is a bakery. It's also a decent Vietnamese restaurant. Lee's Bakery is known for their cheap bahn mi. They do serve other Vietnamese foods though.

As an appetizer, I tried the crepes. I thought it tasted weird. I had no idea what mystery meat they put on top of the crepe. Of course, this isn't your traditional French crepe. It has that Vietnamese flavor and style to it.

The crepe seemed to be made out of rice. It tasted a lot like the rice noodles from Chinese dim sum places. I don't know, this wasn't one of my favorite dishes. The texture felt weird, and I didn't get the taste. I guess I was expecting something more of a traditional French Crepe when I ordered it.

Lee's Bakery offers several types of Bahn Mi. They all cost $3.00, which I find cheap for a decent sandwich.  I opted to go for the standard grill pork bahn mi. It comes in a french roll with lots of butter, cilantro, peppers, and grilled pork. The pork is the standard grilled pork that comes in your Coms and Buns at Vietnamese places.


The Banh Mi's cost only $3.00, and for only $6.50, you can get half a bahn mi and a bowl of pho. That is a great deal.

I like Lee's pho. The broth had a nice beefy taste. They did skimp on the tendon though. Overall, it was a decent tasting pho.

Lee's Bakery is pretty cool. You can get cheap, good foods. I would like to come back and try more of their sandwiches. They all sounded good.

Lee's Bakery also sells smoothies. But I have lactose intolerance so I couldn't try them. Maybe next time, armed with my lactaid pills, I can get to try their famous avocado smoothie. Mr. Kitty gives this place 4 paws up.
