Ginza Sand

Had the famous gyukatsu sando from Ginza Sand as the late night snack of the first night in Tokyo. Beef was extremely juicy, although slightly on the rare end of a medium-rare doneness. Looks small in the photos but definitely not bite-size unless you can open your mouth wide enough. Wanted to get the soup, since it was a relatively cold night (Tokyo just experienced severe downpours 1-2 days back on the 11th and 12th Sep and the day itself was cloudy). Unfortunately, the soup was sold out when we reached. Definitely a must-try when you are in Tokyo, for the thickness of the katsu as well as the juiciness.

Don't listen or read the haters' reviews. This is easily one of the best meals and sandwiches you'll ever experience and it's worth every minute in line and every minute waiting and every penny paid. I went two days in a row because the sandwiches are just that good. I waited about 30 minutes in line and 45 minutes for my food the first day, then about 20 minutes each in line and waiting for my food the second day because I did arrive a bit earlier. They get busier the later you go. Staff is so friendly and sweet. The shop is super small and the menu is large enough to read with a good variety of sandwiches. My absolute favorite is the premium beef cutlet. 3200 Yen or about $22. The meat is so tender and soft and juicy and just impeccable. The flavors are phenomenal and the crispiness is just the perfect touch to an already excellent cutlet, plus the soft bread with the slight toast just makes this beyond words can describe. I was shook by how good the croquette sandwich was. Again, fried to the beautiful crispy golden brown.Perfectly toasted bread. And that croquette filling? My god. Sublime. Rich and dense and flavorful and just wonderful. Now my least favorite of the three but by no means "bad" was the salt pork cutlet sandwich. The bread was again, perfect. The pork cutlet was, like the other two, perfectly fried, and the juiciest and so so soft. You can literally see the juices glistening in my photo. The ONLY reason I was a little put off was the big rock salt pieces on top of the sandwich. I thought by "Salt" they just meant the seasoning but the big pieces of salt on top make it a bit too much and I had to scrape off as much as I could. Overall, and excellent and must visit while in Tokyo

we waited around 20 minutes just to place our order. Once we ordered, we were told there would be an additional 40-minute wait for the food, which we agreed to. When we returned to the shop after about 32 minutes, we were told our food was already ready. Unfortunately, by the time we started eating, the food had gone slightly cold, which makes me wonder how long it had been sitting there before we picked it up. As for the food itself — it was a mixed bag. I ordered one of their premium meat sandwiches, but the meat turned out to be quite chewy and underwhelming overall. On the other hand, the chicken tenders/drumsticks were excellent — crispy, juicy, and flavorful. Definitely the highlight of the meal. All in all, it was worth trying once

I have visited Japan several times with the intend to have the sandwich and finally got to taste it for this visit. Waiting for 25 mins in the cold is difficult and the line are mostly comprises of tourist such as myself . The beef is ok but what blows me away is the egg salt flavour. I eaten quite a few egg sandwich and this is unique and flavourful. The egg is crafted with much care and details that make it so tasty even after an hour when I back from my hotel. It’s highly recommended.

The rating does them an injustice! Only because of the waiting time, which in our case, was not bad. The sandwiches are DELICIOUS, especially the one with the egg surprised us, which made us buy one more. We also tried beef, was also very tasty. I highly recommend. Staff is so nice. Before ordering they informed us about the waiting time (first round 15 minutes, second round 25minutes, but in the end we got the order in 7 minutes).

Came after the hype and i was disappointed at the service. The place was quite small and I didn’t know that they offered takeout only. I waited for a bit along with other customers outside the shop and the servers didn’t quite know how to communicate with us as they know limited English. I finally got to make my order at the counter and got to know that I had to wait for half an hour for my order. I was flabbergasted as I only ordered their signature egg sandwich. I was so hungry that I wanted to have my order ready in no time. I had no choice but to go to another place to have a drink before I came back to get my order. When I finally came back I was shocked at how small the portion was. I instantly ate my egg sandwich on the spot as I was famished. When I had a bite on it, it felt like heaven. It was the best egg sandwich I had ever had in my life. Though I wasn’t sure if it was because I was too hungry. I really liked how soft and flavorful the egg complemented with the cheese and mayo. I hadn’t had the texture of the egg sandwich done in that way before. Would love to come back to try other items on their menu one day! Though I am put off by the long wait.

No line at 19:00 on a weekday. The estimated cook time was twenty minutes, but my order was ready in ten. Cash only. I tried the Prime Japanese Beef Fillet Cutlet Sand (¥3200). It didn’t taste bad, but I expected something better for the price (e.g., melt-in-your-mouth beef). The bread didn’t add anything in my opinion; the cutlet honestly would have tasted better on rice. The crunchy bits on the ends and the demi-glace sauce were the best parts.

We ordered egg, shrimp, and steak sandwiches. The egg and shrimp sandwiches were pretty good; however, the steak sandwich was grisly and had a hard texture. I definitely would not order it again.

Probably one of the best things I ate while in Japan. Delicious is really an understatement! This sandwich spot is open from 5pm - 3am which is quite odd hours so be aware before coming during the day. It's a super small store front where you order and wait outside. They will come out with your order and find you outside their store. Garbage bin right in front of heir store for you to trash your stuff after eating. The food here is so good, never had such a delicious sandwich in Japan. Here's what we got: Egg cutlet sandwich 5/5 - This was so amazing and the best thing I ate while in Japan. First bite into the sandwich and you get a crispy layer which is unexpected but makes for it to be so delicious. Fluffy bread and delicious interior, definitely get this! Prim japanese beef fillet cutlet sand 3/5 - Looks like it'd be super delicious since it comes with a huge piece of beef fillet, but I think you can skip this one. It's good but not a must get. It also comes at a steep price of 3,200 yen. Shrimp cutlet sand 5/5 - Another great one! The shrimp is delicious and crispy with a soft interior. Must get this as well. Eel cutlet sand 5/5 - You get large pieces of eel in this sandwich and is so tasty. Overall I found myself constantly thinking about these sandwiches throughout my time in Japan because it was THAT good! A must try!

Egg salad was a 5 star rating Prime Beef was 3 star. Note: it will take 25 minutes for this one.

Service was quick! Food was delicious! There is no dine in options. It's a walk up and order window! Stand is open until 5am so this hit the spot for my 1am cravings

This steak sandwich was melt in your mouth buttery. A little on the pricey side for a very small sando, but honestly the quality of the ingredients make it worth it. The place a small little window on the side of a building not too far from the Uniqlo flagship store. When we arrived there wasn't a line but once we put our order in a line quickly formed. We waited about 10 mins for our sandos to be prepared. Unfortunately there's no where to sit near by so we ended up eating the sandos standing on the side of the street. If you're really hungry the sandos are pretty small but if you're looking to a small snack like we were it was great.
