A: Uggg. All Lee's are not created equal. I guess I'm a little bit of a Lee's snob after having worked in San Jose for 3 weeks and eating it almost every day. I got the grilled pork and I think it was just cut up cheap ham. I was horrified at this abomination of a Lee's after having talked so much shit to my wife about how good it was. It was painfully all right. No green waffles, no chuoi nep nuong, no assorted treats layed out just so. Not a young coconut in site. They did have the fresh squeezed sugarcane juice I have come to love. But it still has nothing on Nuoc Mia Ninh Kieu's sugarcane and kumquat explosion. I sadly went away with a large baguette and the hopelessness of knowing Arizona is missing out big on the REAL Lee's Sandwiches experience and that is a mofo shame...

Q: positive

A: After reading other people's reviews I wasn't sure what to expect. I found the food to be fairly good. The guacamole was great, their ceviche was a bit different than I am used to, but tasty. My mom had lime shrimp tacos and was vey pleased, and my chimi was pretty good. Atmosphere was great too!

A: Opted not to go with the house special beef noodles as my friends did, figuring I'd be getting my greasy fill soon enough at some buffet. I got the "Sai-Men noodle Aloha Style (Broth)" Saimin - I don't think any local Hawaiian would mistake this for something you'd order on the islands. No charsiu - they used boiled chicken. Huge piece of fried sweet potato tempura on top - not sure where that came from. And mushrooms.... That being said, it was pretty good. Light flavors as I was hoping and a nice delicate broth. Noodles are definitely Chinese - straight and a bit thicker than normal saimin in Hawaii. Friend's Homestyle Spicy Braised Beef Shank Ramen looked really good too. Mongolian beef and Garlic Tofu / Eggplant dishes were also good. Not super spicy but they do requests for that. Sitting at the counter is also fun as you get to watch the old school cooks do their thing. Service was great. The guy in charge of the counter customers was very attentive and our food came out quickly. Another good sign was that 95% of the customers were Chinese.

A:
A couple weeks ago a friend had told me I'd never had a real cheese steak unless I'd had one with Cheese Whiz. Turns out the Cheese Whiz used on cheese steaks isn't the same kind college students stack with Ritz crackers to give themselves early heart attacks. I had the #1 (Steak and Cheese Whiz) and it was delicious. I got fries and a drink as well and my total came out to ~$10. The portions are quite large and they give you a hefty serving of meat in the sandwich. Be careful when eating because these sandwiches are literally dripping with cheese. The bun was great and somehow didn't get soggy. I've been to a few places serving cheese steaks in the valley and this is the best, added bonus is you can be in and out of here in five minutes.
