| - Le's specializes in Banh Mi, which is a type of vietnamese sandwhich and it's amazing. It's served on a french baguette and it's stuffed with lightly pickled vegetables (carrots and radishes?), the meat is super flavorful. I've tried 2 or 3 and can't really tell them apart. There aren't a whole lot of non-vietnamese people that venture into this area so the proprietor is incredibly friendly. Just tell him you want 2 of his most popular sandwhich - he'll charge you next to nothing and you'll be on your way. The toughest part is getting there before they close, if only they'd stay open a little later - even just one night a week. Come on Le, stay open until 7 at least on Friday!!
When you drive to the area you'll see a strip mall that looks straight out of a third world country. The potholes are anywhere from 1-2 feet deep, I'm not kidding. Once you navigate to a safe parking spot, the restaurant is INSIDE the mall - there are two entrances. You'll know the Le's because it's the only business still running on the inside part.
After you've left Le's, there are a few other things worth exploring. Both asian groceries are kinda cool - cheap produce and meats, strange canned and frozen goods. It's hit or miss, worth working around though. There's also a restaurant supply store that I highly recommend you check out. I know it sounds strange, but they sell things I've never seen before. Trust me, if it's open, just explore it for a few minutes, you guys'll find it entertaining at the least. :)
