I think I am a bit spoiled by my favorite bahn mi joint in Chinatown. I was in the mood for one but didn't feel like going across town so I gave Lee's a try. The visit started off decent - the place is clean and nicely decorated. I then noticed that it was cash only. Really? It's not like we are in the sticks. Oh wait, there is an ATM right at the counter. Oh I get it. You want me to use your ATM to get my cash and pay a fee. No thanks! Luckily I had some cash on me.\n\nI ordered my standard bahn mi, which is the meatball (#7 here). The bread was delicious, but the meat was just gross. It was all gelatinous and had the strangest texture, and I'm not sure it was cooked all the way through. So I basically ended up eating bread for lunch - not very satisfying.\n\nI'll skip it in the future and make the trek back to Chinatown for my favorite.
