This sandwich shop gets quite busy which I understand is a small shop. I am not sure how they keep track of their orders but it’s honestly not okay to be waiting for a sandwich for over 40 minutes. And then upon checking why the beeper didn’t go off it was because they lost the order. We didn’t complain enough but tbh the sandwiches are not worth $17-$20 each and they didn’t do a good job at cutting the sandwich in half…. I would not come back here again.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile since seeing IG posts showing the yummy food. I was in the area and stopped by around noon, after it just opened, so the line was short. I wanted to order everything, but was by myself, so i only got the chicken katsu sando and it was so good! The fried chicken was crispy and the milk bread was so soft and fresh. It was a very large portion, for me anyways, and I was full after just eating half. I also wanted to try the tamago egg salad sandwich too, but will save that for next time when my gf is here. They have a nice outdoor patio to sit and eat, but i took it to go.

Best Non-Beef Katsu Sandos I’ve Had in the U.S.
Came here on a Sunday afternoon to grab a couple of quick bites to take to the park nearby. It was around 4 p.m., so I didn’t expect much of a crowd, but my order still took almost half an hour (definitely worth placing it online in advance).
I was expecting a small counter-service sandwich shop, but it turned out to be one of the biggest casual katsu spots I’ve seen. There’s a good amount of indoor seating and a surprisingly large patio in the back. But more importantly, this was the best pork and chicken katsu I’ve had in nearly a decade.
When it comes to katsu, I usually prefer thick, leaner cuts cooked medium to medium-rare. But for a katsu sando, I think fattier cuts just make more sense. The natural flavors from the fat bring its own depth, so you don’t need that heavy pour of sweet tonkatsu sauce to keep things interesting.
Here, the pork tonkatsu used a fattier pork loin, and the chicken version combined thigh and breast for a nice balance. Because of that, they went light on the sauce, and everything was still flavorful without relying too much on the sauce. It’s a small detail, but it made a big difference.
The milk bread was pillowy soft, though I wish they had trimmed the crusts (super hard). They pressed the bread down just enough to make it thin and dense, which actually worked well. Easier to do multiple layers of katsu in one bite and keep the sauce sealed inside.

Had the tonkatsu sando and thought it was decent - nothing that necessarily blew my mind but it was a good sandwich in a vibey place. Enjoyed the outdoor area in the back.

I cannot resist a good shokupan moment, and Taku Sando is THE SPOT to secure a fresh loaf of shokupan for only $12. I highly recommend getting both the pork katsu and egg sandos to share. The hot and cold combo works perfectly together. The refreshing egg salad also balanced out the richness of the deep-fried pork cutlet.
I went around noon on a Saturday and while there was a line, it moved quickly so don’t be scared away. The back garden seating was cute with a fun camping theme.
＊Ton Katsu Sando $16 The sando was HUGE and LOADED, stuffed with three pieces of pork katsu, drizzled with a sweet and savory sauce, and sandwiched with some fresh shredded lettuce. It was a very filling choice.
＊Ajitama Tamago Sando $14 You can choose between a classic egg salad or one with a soft-boiled ramen egg (same price, so of course I went with the egg!). The shokupan really shone in this one. Fluffy, bouncy, and soft.
＊Shokupan $12 I grabbed a loaf to go, and it was still warm when they handed it to me. If I lived nearby, I’d buy this every week. I ate some fresh and saved the rest in the freezer. I made fruit sando and egg sando with it at home.

This was previously a 5/5. One of my favorites here was their ribbon fries - so good!
But recently got it and they were sadly quite cold :( Maybe I had a one off bad batch but hope it’s better next time.

Worth they hype the food delicious my fav the chicken one and the fish one
Got the chicken katsu sandwich. The sandwiches are a hearty size and oh so delicious. Perfect for sharing with someone if you're not too hungry. Have come on a weekday and weekend. Expect lines during the weekend. Overall a delicious and hearty sandwich. The back patio is also very nice and a warm day

I found this place from TikTok and I’m so happy I took the train out there! Amazing sandwich, I had the egg sando and my brother had the chicken and we both loved it. Service was also quick and nice, can’t wait to come back

Food is ok, bread is way too soggy but I guess it’s hard to solve that.
Nothing too special tbh, for one and done experience I would recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich here. Even my 6 year-old who could be quite picky ate the entire half of the sandwich I shared with him. I ended up ordering one more for my husband to takeout. We shared it a couple of hours later, and it was still very tasty!

10 out of 10. Vibes were immaculate. Would come back and try the other sandwiches. The tonkatsu was perfect 👌 and paired well with the white bread. Real nice contrast. Get the yuzu drink and stick around. The garden in the back is so relaxing .
