Tokyo Sando - Review - Downtown - Portland, OR - The Infatuation
"Tokyo Sando brings the best of Japanese convenience store culture (“konbini”) to the Midtown Beer Garden, the revamped version of a longstanding downtown food cart pod, with picnic table seating for 300 and a stage for live music. While egg salad sandwiches might be a 7-Eleven staple in Tokyo, they’re nothing like this food cart’s overstuffed version that incorporates two soft-boiled eggs, sliced to expose their jammy yolks, on crustless shokupan. The katsu sandwich featuring a breaded pork cutlet and savory brown sauce on a bed of shredded cabbage leans closer to tradition, but if that’s too pedestrian, opt for the naka sando that amps up a chicken cutlet with tartar sauce like they do in Kyushu. The plaza comes alive during lunchtime with nearby office workers and tourists. photo credit: Emily Triggs" - Krista Garcia
