Sandoitchi

Finally I checked out Sandoitchi, and yes—it’s a bit on the pricier side (sandwiches start around $10), but I honestly think it’s worth it. The flavor is there. I got the chicken katsu sando and it was hot, crispy, and super satisfying. Also tried the mango sando—which was really good too, like dessert in sandwich form. Definitely one of the better sando spots in the Dallas area. Considering they’re right across from The Eye, I’m sure rent’s not cheap, so the pricing makes sense. I also got the matcha latte, but it was a little bland for me—I like my matcha stronger.

I had this is a pop-up in OKC me and my kid travel down there mainly for some sandwiches and some Museum action. I have to say that the sandwiches did not disappoint, we got the strawberry creme mango cream the original chicken and the ribeye also we had the Ube Lassie. That drink was amazing not only aesthetically appealing but so tasty I must say. Also the chicken was fired the strawberry was really good the mango was a little under right but still pretty tasty also you have a great view of the eyeball. Eye guess you say it was a great experience. And not to mention the staff of super friendly and very helpful we went in a little bit late but still got out before they close and it was a great experience all around parking was it a bit difficult but we made it happen. PS the packaging was super satisfying and it fit in the bag perfectly like four sandwiches snuggly fit. It was quite satisfying

I absolutely love Sandoitchi! I remember when they were just a pop up on Instagram and now they their own little shop by the hotel. The Spicy Truffle Katsu is my absolute favorite. It very well balanced and all of the flavors compliment each other very well. I would eat it every week if I could but I live 40-50 minutes away. I also like the Shrimp Sando, but I believe that one might be seasonal. I really like that they have different and new sandwiches here and there. I also love the Yuzu Arnold Palmer, literally chef’s kiss. I could drink a whole gallon of that. I usually buy 2 because it’s just that good. I first tried the drink at the Texas State Fair, and when I found out they opened a location in Dallas, I had to try it out. I will definitely be back there soon.

we came during lunch on a sunday and there was enough space for us! it was beautiful to eat on the patio that's perfectly in the shade. the drinks were beautiful AND delicious. the sandwiches were perfection. the bread was heavenly and light, the chicken was cooked to perfection to be so tender while the outside was flaky and crispy! 100% coming back again!!

This is first time I got a sandwich from Sandoitchi. I ordered chicken Katsu, fries and strawberry matcha drink. Everything was really good. I would come back to try other sandwiches.

Got the classic katsu, egg salad, Arnold Palmer yuzu tea, and the cucumber salad. This was way more than enough, definitely a little pricey but the egg salad was especially good. Great place for a quick lunch and willing to spend $15-20 for a meal. The inside is tiny with no tables so be ready to take it to go our sit outside. Great area that’s walkable to the ATT discovery district and across the street from the eye.

Anyone who's lived/visited Japan knows these style of sandwiches very well. Had a chance to speak with the chef and he was awesome. The the proprietary blend on the French fries were so tasty along with their house spicy ketchup and unique ranch. I'd recommend the Spicy Truffle Chicken Katsu and if it's still on the menu when you see this, the seasonal Smoked Ribeye Katsu. Come get a taste of Japan!

This place was awesome. It's definitely a little pop up with 7 or 8 chairs. I came here because I saw it on tik tok and wanted to try it. It was absolutely delicious. I hot the steak one. The only thing I wish was that it was more aesthetical pleasing and that the sandwiches were cheaper. Mine was 18 but the cheapest was 10. A little more expensive than the average sandwich but it was super yummy and the staff was friendly.

The food was so good! I didn't even get to take a picture lmfao!! The breakfast sandwich is perfection with whatever that spicy sauce is that has a kick and the delicious sausage !! The chicken katsu was bomb.com ( my wife's words ) and the strawberry one is a MUST ! Service was helpful! They recommended and explained each thing ! Might I mention their recommendations were 10/10 and the ambiance was cool minus no restroom ! So just don't go chug water before going

What I ordered: Mango Ube Cream Sando, Egg Salad Sando, and the Strawberry Cheesecake Sando. Out of the three, my favorite was the Strawberry Cheesecake Sando. It comes with strawberries, cookie butter, and cream cheese Chantilly cream. I thought I'd like the Mango Ube Cream Sando the most, but it turned out to be the opposite. Mainly because the mango wasn't too ripe. Tbh, I personally think this place is overhyped - the sandos tasted mediocre at best.

Came to try their new fried sando Ordered Ube mango fried sando 4/5- bread had a wonderful crunch, the cream was smooth yet too sweet but the mango was tart which contrast well and the Ube drizzle gave it nice aesthetic. Strawberry cream 2/5- nothing special, looks better than it taste, cream is too sweet Egg salad sando 4/5- nicely seasoned egg salad with jammy egg yolks, I recommend eating it with potato chips for a needed texture contrast with the soft egg sando, tbh I got rid of the bread and eat the egg salad with the potato chips. Made such a huge difference. Hot chicken sando 4/5- chicken was juicy with a nice heat, the slaw gives a nice refreshing crunch towards the chicken, and the Mayo wraps it good. Yuzu Palmer 4/5- refreshing as fck, it's not sweet but pairs well with the savory and sweet sandos. I got another one before I left

ORDER Egg Salad Sando - The egg salad sando has scrambled eggs surrounding a soft boiled egg. Kewpie mayo really ties everything together and makes the eggs so yummy with the bread. There's also pepper on it which adds more flavor to the egg sando. Fruit Salad Cream Sando - Let me just start by saying the cream is so good. It's light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The cream goes really well with the fresh fruit. Mine came with orange, strawberry, kiwi, and pineapple. I really liked this one over the egg sando one. Strawberry Matcha Latte - The strawberry matcha latte was pretty good. The drink was a bit on the nuttier side due to the oat milk but it still tasted really good. The strawberry was nice and sweet at the bottom and helped balance out the nutty flavor of the drink. I will say that I was expecting the bread to be a bit more on the fluffier side, but it did seem like pretty basic bread. Lowkey I would say that the price is pretty expensive for what's given, but for the vibes! VIBES The place is pretty small inside with very very limited seating. Outside there is some seating as well but not too much. It's across the Giant Eyeball sculpture which is pretty cool. SERVICE Service was pretty good! All the food and drinks came out very fast. It's packaged nicely in the box and the bag. Very satisfied overall with service.

I used to frequent these pop ups during the pandemic and was excited to see they had a storefront downtown. I popped in. It's a tiny shop with a small patio out front with a direct view of the eye in front of it. It was early Sunday afternoon and busy. They were already out of egg sandos so I ordered the strawberry and cream, classic chicken, and spicy truffle chicken. The wait was about 30 minutes. For a sando the bread is everything. You expect nice pillowy soft milk bread cut to perfection. This seemed to be regular bread, not fresh, odd cuts with crust on one side or the other. The strawberries weren't ripe so they were hard. The classic chicken katsu had absolutely not taste. I could taste a HINT of wasabi or horseradish in the cabbage or sauce but that was it... it was very mild. The spice on the spicy sando seemed to be hot sauce and it was ok. Though a former fav, the quality doesn't live up to the cost now. I don't think I will be visiting again.

Sandoitchi is in fact a very tasty adventure, you want to go here for their main attraction of hot sandwiches. HOT SANDWICH: I got the spicy truffle chicken sandwich and holy CRAP that was amazing. The bread is lightly toasted to keep it soft yet crunchy and the flavor is just immaculate. There is a sort of vinegar sweet hot sauce in the sandwich similar to that of tobasco. The seasonings work really well together and leave a fine savory feeling. The chicken is crunchy but pleasantly soft and all the food mixes well together. Highly recommend this. I also tried the cheeseburger sandwich and it was GOOD. The patty is accentuated by the two slices of bread and is very sizeable. It's very juicy and I absolutely loved it. THE EGG SANDWICH: I have to say this was not the greatest, I think it tastes okay but there is little to no seasoning/saltiness on the eggs. It's basically a soft boiled egg and some crushed boiled eggs thrown into two slices of bread. The texture is great but balancing out an egg's bland flavor with kewpie mayo or some seasonings will definitely bring out the gem in this dish. THE BANANA MATCHA LATTE: I do not recommend the drinks as they are also quite bland. For some this might be good but it lacks any significant flavors of banana, matcha, and coffee. THE CREAM SANDO: For the curious this tastes basically like a whipped cream cake between two pieces of bread. It's good! But not mind blowing.

My fav place for sandos. While it's a bit pricy I still think it's worth the experience. I wish they would come to Houston already. I usually catch them each time they do a pop up in Houston. During the pop ups the staff is extremely friendly and the process is meticulously well organized. I got the fruit sando, spicy chicken truffle katsu, and pork katsu. While they all tasted great in their own unique ways, one commonality is that they were lacking on the filling. There was half of the sando left after eating the bites with fruit. The spicy chicken truffle katsu was good but needed more sauce and slaw, same goes for the pork katsu.

Yum- so good!! We got so many of the sandwiches - strawberry and cream, chicken katsu, egg salad, spam and egg salad, cheeseburger katsu. All were honestly really good, but my favorite was either the spam and egg salad or the spicy truffle chicken katsu!! The guys taking our order were great and very friendly. We also got the banana milk and I liked it a lot - very flavorful and thick!

Good, but not worth the price imo. I paid $16 for this sandwich but to be fair, I bought it at an event, so it may have been a bit more expensive there. I'm not able to speak to this location exactly, but can speak for the food I received. After I went to Japan, I tried a number of "Japanese Sando"s in the States and I have to say bread wise, this probably comes the closest to the milk bread I had in Japan. Not quite the same as Japan, but very fluffy and delicious. The service was just okay, but again, I was being served this at an event. I probably wouldn't buy this particular sandwich again, but I'm definitely curious about their egg salad sando, so I would probably return to give that one a shot.

I'm floored at the less than 4 star reviews on here. These sandwiches are fantastic. Are they a little expensive? Sure. But you get a quality delicious sandwich. I don't think the price alone warrants a 3 star. The service is good and always on time. But the SANDWICHES. Good grief they're yummy. Anyone who says otherwise should just get out. Someone never told you that you have terrible taste in sandwiches. They do pop ups everywhere which are usually themed and inspired by the bar or restaurant they're occupying space at. It's a cool collaboration really. The pop up sandwiches need to be ordered ahead of time and sell out real fast! Fantastic place. Awesome sandwiches. If it's too expensive - go to Subway...

Found out about this spot from Instagram and usually trendy places are only for looks and pics, but this place hit the spot! We ordered the spicy truffle chicken sando and the regular chicken sando! Definitely a burst of flavors definitely coming back to this spot! The staff were friendly and very helpful as well!!

Came on Sunday at around 11:30am. Complimentary parking at the Joule for 1 hr. Service was fast and friendly! Inside has a few small tables with single seating against the walls. I got the ebi shrimp katsu sandwich and spicy truffle chicken katsu sandwich. The ebi shrimp had good crunch but it was quite salty. Would've liked it more if they adjusted the salt. The truffle chicken sandwich is good too. Chicken was cooked perfectly and not dry at all. I have to agree with previous reviews where the bread tastes like white bread. I'm used to Japanese bread being a little fluffier.

Overall an enjoyable experience! Cozy space, few seatings inside but more seats are available outside! Friendly staff! A wee bit pricey but it is in the heart of Dallas I would definitely get the strawberry and cream, ebi shrimp, and chicken katsu sandos again. Ebi shrimp was a little salty but I liked the crunch texture with the shrimp filling. Expect a subtle hint of wasabi in the chicken katsu. It's hard to go wrong with strawberries and cream though I wish they put a little more strawberries so I don't end up with only cream for the rest of the sandwich. Mango and ube sando was disappointing since the mangoes weren't ripe so it was a little hard (unless this was the intention then I guess I just like ripe mangoes) and the flavor and sweetness couldn't fully come through. And ube was not ube-ing lol I liked that they offer drinks. I loved the banana milk. Seems like they make it with real bananas. Do expect a silky texture. Matcha latte was a little powdery and dirty earl grey was a little flat (but light if that's how you like your coffee) but both were still good enough for my party to finish so :)

Finally tried the sando (sandwiches) here and they were ok! I can't explain how the bread tastes better than normal white bread, but it's really good! Everything else is just average! We got the chicken and spicy truffle chicken sandos. The regular one tasted a bit plain, but the spicy one has a nice little kick and tasted more flavorful. We also got the strawberry and pineapple sandos which were also good, but just seem a bit plain. Staff were great and friendly! They let us bring our dog inside so we didn't have to stand outside in the heat while trying to peak in at the menu.

Fast and friendly service with delicious food. I ordered the Katsu Burger, Spicy Truffle Chicken, Strawberry Cream Sando, and Chicken pot pie bun. The flavor and textures harmonize so well in each item. The light crispiness around the chicken and burger is delightful with every bite. The thin slices of pickles cut through the savoriness of the sauce and protein. The sweetness in strawberry and cream sando is well balanced, ( I assumed it was going to be very rich) but like the bread it was light but filling. The pot pie bun though was bangin! Every bite I took you can hear the crunch from whatever it was crusted with but then the inside is filled with this creamy chicken. Only thing I would like is some hot sauce to go with it. Other than that perfect snack. I'll be back for sure. Don't be intimidated by the long line, they kick them Sando's out pretty efficiently. Went on my lunch break and there were at least 12 ppl ahead of us and me and my team had time to eat chill and walk back to the office.

Okay... Expensive for what you get. So.. prob won't come again. I want to try some drinks and another meal but they were out of a few items. O

Pretty good,the egg and the strawberry sandwich had too much bread for me but Fries and breakfast sandwich were delicious. I will definitely come back.

So glad this place is not a pop-up spot anymore! Got the spicy chicken and shrimp sandwiches. For dessert got the peaches and cream sandwich. Loved all the sandwiches, the bread was really soft and fluffy too!

This place appeared for me during Covid. When I couldn't eat it. Flash forward. It's a place. I ordered. The Japanese egg salad is unique with the whole vs mix thing. Needs seasoning. But quality rocks. I want to try it the other offerings

We went on a Saturday during noon and thankfully was not greeted by any lines. Out of their menu, would definitely recommend the hojicha latte and spicy truffle chicken katsu sando. The latte came in a super small size though and had a bunch of ice but I still loved it. The sauce on the spicy truffle katsu was much more flavorful than the plain katsu sando. I tried the peaches sando too which were good but not sure if I would get again. Overall, pretty good but also expensive for what it's worth.

Delicious sandwiches with great, quick service. This is more of a takeout spot than a dine in location. They do have 2-3 small tables inside and a few tables on the patio. I arrived on a Dallas summer day so outside seating was not an option. I opted to take a couple of sandos home. I got the spicy chicken and the grilled cheese. The spicy chicken sando was super tasty and just how I remembered it from a couple of years ago. The grilled cheese was very average. It tasted and looked like a sandwich made in one of this 90s grill cheese sandwich makers my mom had at home! It did remind me of being a kid but was not the amazing sandwich experience I'm used to from Sandoitchi. The chicken sando did live up to the hype which was awesome!!! I previously got Sandoitchi from their popup during Covid and was a huge fan. Back then these babies were super limited and it was like grabbing a drop of the latest Jordan's!!! Fortunately for all of us, this new location has plenty of supply!!! The shop itself is super cozy (not very big) but the staff does a great job utilizing a small space. Everyone is super friendly and they will help you make a selection if you are a newbie. They also have a cool assortment of Japanese chips including meat flavored ones which looked amazing!! Will definitely be back.

The 2nd time I've gotten to enjoy these sandwiches at a popup in OKC! These sandwiches are very yummy and I love the fry basket with the kimchi sauce! My favorite is the truffle hot chicken sando. This crunchy chicken sandwich is topped with truffle mayo and cabbage. It's got a great spicy flavor that definitely opens the sinuses! My Second favorite is the fruit sando. The Chantilly cream with the strawberries is perfection! So smooth and flavorful. Quick and effective ordering and pickup. Love when they come to town! I always try to get my fix when they come to town!

Way overpriced, just not that good. Would not go again. Not as reminiscent of Japanese 7/11 sandwiches as you'd hope.

The service was amazing and the pop up had plenty of seating. The katsu chicken sandwich was pretty but a little boring. I wish there was a spicy option without truffle. The strawberry matcha was 10/10. My favorite thing that I ordered. Not in a rush to go back bc it's so pricey!

The food is very delicious. I got the Ebi Shrimp Katsu Sando, the Mango Une Sando, Dirty Earl Latte, and Takoyaki Chips. It is pricier than the sandwiches at Mitsuwa but if you don't plan on going to Plano and want to stay in Downtown Dallas, it's at least convenient. I definitely recommend it.

Best sandwiches in Dallas. Very unique and orders are always correct. Service is also solid

Parking sucks but food is yummy! I would definitely get to go. The service was really fast too!

The katsu waygu burger is wow!!! Get it just get it you will not be disappointed. Parking is a little rough but it's downtown so it's to be expected

First time trying Sandoitchi today in Oklahoma City. We pre-ordered on Sunday evening and picked up our order today (Tuesday). We got the hot truffle chicken katsu, egg salad sando, fries, and strawberry banana sando x2. Everything tasted really good! I would totally purchase again in the future. Can't wait until they come back to OKC!

It was just alright, got the spicy chicken, sando and strawberry sando , literally nothing special. The bread is like any white bread so definitely expected more but not bad.

we got 4 sandos and 3 drinks for ~$75 with tip. overall this place is pretty overpriced imo! but the location is nice, and the inside is very cute. the sandos also came out pretty fast and there was no wait. i really liked the chicken katsu, and shrimp ebi. the savory ones were just so filling and delicious. the chicken katsu was my favorite since it was a classic. i also liked the shrimp ebi for its texture and unique filling. the strawberry sando was really good, perfect strawberries and great filling. where this fallas short is the mango ube one, i liked the ube filling but the mangos were just not ripe. i don't know if this was intentional for the texture but i was wanting a ripe and juicy mango, similar to the texture of the strawberries. for drinks we got the banana milk, matcha, and the earl gray latte. all of these were pretty solid, the banana milk was a bit thick but not like a smoothie. it had a nice creamy texture and tasted like real bananas, not artificial. the matcha was a bit powdery but once mixed it was very good and creamy. i found the earl gray to be very refreshing and light! overall yummy place just super overpriced imo.

THERE IS COMPLIMENTARY VALET AT THE JOULE (for people like me that can't go anywhere that requires Parallel parking or doesn't have a parking lot lol). I had a great experience as you can see. The place was visually appealing and very clean. The staff was very nice. My strawberry sando was amazing and the chicken sando was DELICIOUS! I will definitely be back. I also was recording for a tik tok in there and no one was giving me ugly looks for doing so, so that's always a plus.

Fun little sandwich place in the Japanese style on smooth white sandwich bread. Only complaint is more fruit in the sweet Sando

It was ok. Wouldn't pay $10 for it, probably wouldn't come back either. It was ok but not worth the price

First time trying Sandoitchi was during their pop-ups and when I found out they just opened a storefront which is much easier to access now, I had to check them out again! Parking on a Sunday afternoon is fairly difficult since it's in downtown, but if you get lucky you can snag one of the metered parking spots right in front of the shop. There's some limited seating inside and outside on their patio. I ordered the spicy truffle chicken katsu sando and the mango with ube cream sando. The spicy chicken had great flavor, just like I remembered, and the bread is just so soft and delicious. It's seriously the best part IMO! The mango ube sando was light, refreshing and perfectly 'not too sweet'. I really wanted to try their shrimp katsu sando, but they were sold out by the time I got there around 3:30pm. I'd recommend stopping by earlier in the day if there's a specific one you'd like to try!

Very unique sandwich similar to the Japanese ones. It tasted good was just a little pricey

I LOVE this place. The sandwiches are sooooo tasty, especially the lobster mix and egg salad sandwich.

A lot of hype around the Japanese style sandwiches. Never had it before and it was presented so prettily. THey do pop ups and it's better to order ahead online. they try to make it very exclusive by saying pre orders open at X time and sell out by Y. When I put my order in, it didn't look like many issues. It ended up selling out 2.5 hours I think after the the pre orders opened. BUT in this case you could order onsite. Got the chicken katsu sandwich ($12). From what I read Japanese style sandwiches are made with a little milk and are supposed to have a tiny bit of sweetness. Didn't taste that. Overall the sandwich was ok. Something to try but not worth the price given the portion. It doesn't come with any chips or sides. I'm not sure if it would be enough for a typical person's lunch portion. Follow their Instagram if you're on the lookout for their next pop up. I would consider trying their fruit sandwich next time, but will pass on one of their savory sandwiches for lunch.

Heard a lot about this spot and finally decided to try it and it's delish! We got the spicy chicken sando. The bread is super light which is great, never had a Japanese sandwich before and it did not disappoint will definitely be back!

Have been to a couple of their pop ups and was excited that they had a place in Dallas. Their food is great, service was fast and they even recommended truffle chips that would compliment what we ordered. Place is small, but it's a iykyk ordeal with this place!

This was one of the more interesting things I've eaten in a good while. They've been doing a pop up in New Orleans so had to order after seeing pictures online. I got the spicy chicken katsu sando and and the cream and fruit sando. The chicken sandwich had a good slow building heat to it. The crispy slaw or whatever veggie gave it a good satisfying crunch. The bread was thick and soft almost like a cloud. I think my favorite of the two was the cream and fruit sando. It was basically a chantilly cake without needing a fork. This is the future, chantilly cake on the go no utensils necessary. Next time around I hope they offer some sides.

As soon as I heard about Sandoitchi doing a pop-up in Houston, I couldn't help but preorder each one of their sandos, especially their A5 Wagyu Tartare. Total came out to $114. Yikes, I sure hope these sandos taste as good as it costs. Unfortunately, it didn't hit the mark for me. Don't get me wrong, none of them were bad at all. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed each and every one of them as they were all pretty good. Only problem is that "pretty good" wasn't enough to justify their costs. The sandos themselves were quite small in size, and they all just felt subpar in terms of quality and taste. Most disappointing part was the bread; it wasn't as soft and pillowy as I expected Japanese milk bread to be. Here's what I got: -A5 Wagyu Tartare Sando (3/5): The one I was most hyped for. It was decent overall. The caviar added an rich, excellent salty flavor, but I just wished the wagyu melted in my mouth more. Was it worth $70 though? Probably not. -Egg Salad Sando (3/5): Nothing special here. It was good, but I felt like this could have easily been made at home and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. -Hot Truffle Chicken Katsu Sando (3/5): Same deal as the egg salad, but I also couldn't taste any truffle. The hot sauce was pretty nice though. -Fruit + Cream Sando (4/5): Probably my favorite out of the bunch, but $9 for this is asking for too much. Regardless, this was a great, creamy dessert. If you're curious or never tried Japanese sandos before, I would recommend giving it a shot just to see how you like it. Their sandos will definitely look picturesque in your photo album, but just don't go in expecting much else.

The charcuterie board can head out-- picnic-perfect Japanese sandos have officially debuted in California and they're here to stay. These instagrammable sandwiches have been making waves in the form of specialty shops-- from the short-lived fame of Ichi-Sando in SF to the appearance of Pillow Talk in Pasadena. If you're looking for the next thing after matcha, Japanese pancakes, and Dalgona coffee-- it will be this. Texas-based eatery Sandoitchi made its way to SoCal this weekend at the 626 Night Market, and I knew I had to go. I was really excited for this place-- it's been popping up because of its rapid sell-outs in Texas, and its mouthwatering $75 A5 wagyu katsu sando. I managed to pick up the signature egg sando before work, and it tastes just as good as it looks-- even on a stress-induced 30 minute break. The bread? Buttery, moist, and soft. The egg salad? Creamy and savory. And the addition of that jammy soft-boiled egg? Simply divine. Usually egg salad sandwiches taste a little too mayo-y and greasy for me, but this definitely wasn't it. And now, I am an egg sando fiend. It's been less than a week since I've eaten this, and I already miss it. All of my future outings will be egg sando picnics. I will only serve sandos at my wedding. My new religious motto is "Live, Laugh, Love-- Japanese sandos." I wasn't able to try the other sandwiches, but I plan to make my way back this weekend to try all of them-- the fruit, katsu, and truffle katsu sandos. I'm sure they will be delicious, but I already know I'll be loyal to Sandoitchi's egg sando.

TLDR: Good but not great. It's a one and done for me. Sandoitchi is a traveling pop up that makes pretty sandwiches. They use milk bread which was a staple in my household growing up. All sandwiches must be pre-ordered and there is a limited quantity. This creates a sense of exclusivity and hype for the traveling pop ups, but perhaps also a good quality control as well. It took me 10 minutes to get my order through. The website crashed mutilple times and upon any selection, you have 5 minutes to check out. This means, you need to do your research in advance and know what you want. Pick up was easy and organized. Staff were friendly and helpful. I was lucky and found parking relatively easy and thus, was able to eat the sandwiches right away. My gripe is with the actual sandwiches. Firstly, the size of the sandwiches were comical. It was so small that I wonder if it was child's portion. Usually Japanese sandwiches use milk bread that is thick and fluffy. This was looking more like Wonder Bread. Only half the crust was cut, which was strange to me until I realized that the sandwiches would be even smaller if they did a proper presentation. Ok, fine, maybe it will be the best thing I taste? Nope, a miss there too. The pork katsu and hot chicken truffle was soggy, bland and greasy. No taste of truffle to be noted. Any katsu I have had has always been pounded thin so that the meat is tender, cooked evenly while remains crispy. Not the case in this sandwiches. It had the "made in the morning and sat for hours" taste. It was disheartening because they made time slots and gave the impression that your food would be made to order. It was a beautiful summer day and the sandwiches were not even slightly warm. The egg sandwich was good but nothing special. I'm not sure if it was really that good or I was just that hungry after 2 disappointing sandwiches before hand. If you know how to soft boil an egg, you can make it at home. The fruit sandwich was intriguing and would have been better if they filled the entire sandwich with fruit. Instead, there were only pieces (and cream) in the middle only, so the rest of it is just bread if you can't take big even bites each time. I also got the banana milk tea and black sesame chai for drinks and also cannot recommend. I prefer the prepackaged Vita drinks or Korean drinks much more. They are less expensive and at least taste good. All in all, I paid about $80 for mostly disappointment. I think the brand and hype can get by for those who have never had a lot of Asian food or sandwiches. OKC has so many great options that I get why this was only a pop up. It would never survive the actual competition once the hype subsides.

Sandoitchi is currently popping up in New Orleans and I'm glad I saw some local foodies post about it on Instagram so I was able to get mine the first week. Once you sign up you'll get a link to click when ordering goes live at 6 pm. Can't wait on it because it sells out super fast! I had an alarm set so I wouldn't miss out on these super cute sandwiches. Managed to snag 2 of the spicy chicken katsu sandos and a fruit and cream sando for us. Day of pickup you get an email reminding you of your pickup time and place. Ours was at a bar in the French Quarter. We waited in the socially distanced line and got our food pretty quickly and then it was time to eat! The sandwiches come sealed in these cute little individual boxes and were so pretty. I was hungry so I tore into the chicken katsu pretty fast. It was spicy, the breading crispy, and the bread soft. The fruit and cream one was nice and sweet with fresh fruit. Was it worth the price? Probably not, but for the experience of trying something new that isn't available locally and the quality of the food I'd order again.

I finally tried Sandoitchi and it was what I thought it would be: overhyped. The service was quick and hostess was nice. The ambiance is definitely upscale considering the downtown location. I had the spicy chicken katsu which tasted great. I also tried the mango ube sando but it was a bit of a let down because the mango wasn't ripe. The banana milk tasted great with the spicy chicken katsu but lost its flavor when I was drinking it with the mango ube sando. The price for the two sandwiches and the drink was $30. It really wasn't worth the hype and I feel that same money could go a long way at other restaurants where the food is better.

Eaten Sandoitchi multiple times and it is absolutely delicious every time. The egg salad Sandos are ridiculously good. Highly recommend.

We visited during a weekday in July for lunch and ordered the katsu sando and it was delicious. We found street parking very nearby. Highly recommend this place. Bento was a little small but sufficient for me. I'm not a big eater. It was delicious. The staff was friendly and recommended we visit the art gallery next door. Small but really great gallery! The restaurant had limited indoor seating but there is outdoor seating available. We took our order to go due to our hotel being nearby .

I've tried Sandoitchi a couple times and it's good but not great regardless of the hype. The best part to me is their sando bread which is super light, soft and doughy. You have to order in specific window periods of time typically on Sundays and they sell out very quick within minutes. For a couple of sandos it costs $20-30 which is super pricey and you have to go pick up your order during specific windows of time which is fine to me. The egg sando is good but was kind of bland both times I ordered so I had to jazz it up with some salt and pepper. Overall it was worth the try but I wouldn't rush back.Egg Salad Sandwich

My pick up experience at Sandoitchi was quick and simple! I set up my pick up time for Wednesday 12:30-2:00. I was under the impression that the line would be long so I got there very early. After three people had gone up, I got out of the car and approached the door (around 10:55). The girl speaking to everyone took down my order number and brought everyone's order out in the order that people approached the door. The time of my scheduled pick up didn't matter. We were all spaced appropriately 6 ft apart in line and wearing masks. The food itself is incredibly authentic. After visiting Japan twice, these sandwiches and sides are incredibly similar to the ones you get prepackaged at the 7/11's and grocery stores. Is it worth the price? No. Is it worth the experience? Yes! You are getting the authentic food that you would get if you received the same thing visiting Tokyo! (just in a different setting) The bread is soft and chewy, sticks to your teeth and to the roof of your mouth. All the dessert options aren't very sweet, which is also authentic to dessert options in Japan. My friend said the miso brown sugar bread pudding tasted like "licking a cinnamon roll" but that's why I loved it! If you aren't a fan of overbearing sweets, they have great options. My favorite sandwich was the truffle chicken katsu. It had a very strong truffle taste as well as what may have been a wasabi ailo. The reasons for my 4/5: - The food isn't worth the price, but it is worth knowing what these Japanese quick to go sandwiches do taste like. As of my understanding, this is the only place you can get these sandwiches in the DFW area, so that would probably be why they've listed them at these prices. - I do wish the sandwiches were more customizable. As much as I appreciated all of their sandwiches, my friend said "it isn't a place for picky eaters". You get the sandwiches as they come, at this time you can't take anything out. I hope that as Covid 19 ends and they maybe become a sit down destination, they add more options to their menu and they give you the option to customize. *** I also hope in the future they add listed ingredients to their menu, this would be incredible helpful for picky eaters and people with FOOD ALLERGIES ***
