Needed something easy to eat for the road trip back to the Bay Area, so I thought a Japanese sando would be perfect—especially craving a tamago sando with whole soft-boiled eggs.
Located in a bit of a hole-in-the-wall spot in LA Chinatown, and it was surprisingly hard to find due to the lack of signage. I actually walked past it twice and had to ask a street vendor before realizing I was basically right in front of it.

had the pork katsu and some of the curry. splendid! i'm already planning my next meal there. standing counter to munch your lunch at, no seats but it's so delicious i would stand in traffic to wolf down that crispy little cutlet. the counter service person was so friendly + helpful.
this place is a MUST GO to grab a sandwich. small space but you can take it to-go as needed, really friendly staff too.

Katsu Sando in Los Angeles' Chinatown offers delicious Japanese sandwiches and more. The katsu, whether chicken, pork, or mushroom, is praised for its size, juiciness, and satisfying flavor. The curry sauce is a popular dip or topping, served in a cup on the side for dishes like wagyu curry cheese fries. The restaurant also offers vegetarian options such as mushroom sando, shrimp sando, and seasonal fruit sando, as well as bulgogi onigiri for a quick snack. Sides like crispy waffle fries with kewpie mayo and seaweed are highly recommended. The food stays warm and fresh even after delivery. The gochujang-based house sauce adds a spicy-sweet flavor to the meal.
This small, casual spot has no tables or chairs, but there's counter space by the window for standing and people-watching. The restaurant is located in a hole-in-the-wall spot, and it can be hard to find due to the lack of signage. The food is exceptional, making it a must-visit for katsu lovers. Customers praise the delicious and juicy sandwiches, with the original chicken katsu sando being a particular favorite. The chicken katsu is tender and moist, though it can be large. The pork katsu and curry are also highly praised. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Lunch can involve a wait, as orders may take up to half an hour during busy times. The service is friendly and helpful, and the overall experience is highly recommended for a quick and tasty lunch.
