It feels like I'm back in Japan again with these better-than-konbini sandos 👍🏼 Personally, I recommend any of the Rice Plate combos, the Menchi Beef sando, or any of the Egg Sandos. I haven't had sushi here yet, but the drinks are good too. They also sell different flavors of onigiri (rice ball triangles) and musubi, in limited quantities until gone (usually they start to run out after 2pm). You can order ahead using the website or via phone call. There is also a digital kiosk if you prefer that over waiting in line for the counter. They take cash and card (swipe, chip, tap = ok), but there is a charge for using a card (50 cents, I think?). There are dine-in and take-out order options available, but no delivery (as far as I know). Seating is limited since it's a small restaurant, so if you're hungry during rush hour, I recommend ordering ahead of time and as take-out. There's no outdoor/patio seating or public restrooms. Parking is somewhat difficult depending on when you arrive, the size of your car, and which of the two public parking lots (free) you park in. They play music in the dining area but otherwise it's relatively quiet outside of the hustle/bustle of lunch & dinner rush hours.
Edit: For anyone who hasn't been to Japan, the fries are prepared Japanese style, which means they come unsalted and with no sauce. Be sure to ask the staff for salt and ketchup packets if you want it, or it probably won't be included in your take-out order.
Delicious
Literally reminds me of grabbing a sando before hopping on the Shinkansen 🥹🥹🥹
Very yummy, extremely filling. A little warm. No bathroom, fyi.
Great food, friendly and quick service
Ordered chicken katsu sandwich and their mango smoothie; both, delicious, tasty. Smoothie was fresh and not too sweet, sando was perfectly moist. Wish I had this in my state 😮💨
Staff was great, sandwich was amazing. First time having a Japanese style sandwich, but not the first time I've had kimchi, loved it.
Been here a few times and it’s been decent in the past that’s why I’m giving it 3 stars instead of 1. Imagine order a burger and they forgot the meat. I ordered the chicken katsu x egg I paid for that, and what I received was an egg and avocado sandwich
The pork katsu is meh and the katsu sauce isn't the best. The fries are also not great. I think you're better off with something else on the menu. The drinks aren't the best either.

I loved everything we got. The breakfast sandwich was the best I've had around. All the sandwiches were delicious, even the dessert sandwich.

These people got flys in their kitchen, and I've seen the owners let their kid run around INSIDE the kitchen around open friers. Don't let the sandwiches fool you these guys are nasty, they let flies land on the food and still have the fail to serve it to you.

Gave it a try after seeing it advertised in "The Reader." The restaurant was clean and empty, but people kept coming in and ordering take out. The food was good but could have been warmer. It's hard to find parking.
