Very fresh and heavy portions. The uni was impeccable and melts in your mouth. Definitely recommend

Delicious sando AND sushi (rolls)! My favorite sando are the ebi (shrimp), tamago (egg), and their dessert sando with strawberries. But honestly, you really can't go wrong with any of their items on the menu! read more

I highly rec coming here at opening or the morning because I came around 1-2p and most of their items were gone. Got to try their katsu sando, and it was decent. I kind of hoped their katsu crust had more crunch but the flavors were there! I will def need to come back to try more of their sandos and their sushi! read more

Choo Sando Omakase - katsu sando - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Good but overpriced. No sandwich should cost almost $20. I got the shrimp one. A bit salty

Really tasty Japanese sandwiches! I especially liked the egg sandwich and the lobster sandwich. Their cauliflower cream soup was also very good and smooth. The egg sandwich was so fluffy! Fortunately their sandwiches are supposed to be good for 3 days refrigerated after you buy them so I got some extra for my family to try. Cute little restaurant to order and then sit down to eat. I really appreciated that they had a mixed sandwich option to let you try out different types. Will be back! read more

Definitely the most beautiful fish sandwich I've ever encountered. Super yummy to boot. I'd been following the business via IG for a while prior to their brick and mortar opening but was never able to coordinate a pickup. However I was finally able to try Chef Choo's sando offerings last week and I was very impressed. A simple fish sandwich was transformed into a gourmet lunch and it was well worth the wait. I'll be back to try the other sandos too! read more

We love chef choo. Fresh fish and great bundles. We've never had such good take out sushi. Usually the flavor ends up off but each time we've ordered here it's fantastic. The display is also very fitting for a nice occasion. This is our go to for family birthdays! read more

Choo Sando Omakase - We love chef choo! - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

As another reviewer mentioned, their business model is faux scarcity. They have been operating long enough to know how to scale, yet they don't. That's how they want to operate. As soon as a similar sandwich shop opens, and/or newness wears off they will struggle to operate. Stop with the bullshit. Oh and their sushi is terrible. Stick with the sandwiches. Cashier was rude. read more

Perfect for a picnic out in the park! The order ahead and pick up process was easy, but you really need to plan a few days ahead to place the order & pick up at their allocated time/location! The packaging is also just sooooo beautiful!!! Between 2 we ordered the Sando San (sando sampler with 8pcs), and they were pretty tasty! I was so worried that these sandwiches wouldn't be filling but they are really packed with filling & flavor and did end up satisfying our hungry bellies! (Although we did pick up tacos from a food stand also.) Favorite from Sando San order: - Ebi Sando (Asian style shrimp cake, salted crunchy cabbage and carrot, house made egg tarts sauce): BY FARRRRR OUR FAV! The flavor profile in this sandwich was insane! Everything just worked so well together! Next time we'll get the full order of Ebi Sando for sure! Least Favorites from Sando San order: - Potato Sando (Japanese style chilled potato sandwich, crunchy cucumber, corn, carrot): usually I'd love a potato salad, but this one didn't hit right. It almost tasted like the carrot taste was overpowering the taste of everything else, if that makes any sense...but we both didn't dig this one. - Tamago Sando (Japanese style egg salad sandwich): to my surprise I thought it was kind of dry! Or overall do I just prefer the non-vegetarian options???? The others Katsu, Menchi, KFC, Smokey Sally, Pescado Sando flavors weren't bad but weren't too memorable either (haha). Next time we'll be sure to try out some of the other options they have too! (Lobster Sando, miso salmon Katsu Sando, strawberry Sando!) Worth giving a try! read more

Ordered online for pickup on Wednesday before thxgiving. I also received text reminder for pickup in the morning which was really nice! The Sandos were well packaged in 2 thin wood boxes with ribbons wrapped. From the sando itchi I got, my favorite goes to the ebi one. The egg and kfc sandos are a bit less flavorful for my own taste. In general I like the salad blend in the sandos, the bread was also soft with proper thickness. read more

When you dine where they love to make their food, you are in a good place. This is Choo Sando. Everything is prepared with much attention to detail (homemade soy sauce!!!) The sandwiches are simply awesome. But the sushi is truly art. Each day, Chef makes several sushi omakase boxes. Just get one. You will then understand. read more

JAPANESE SANDOS IN THE CUTEST PACKAGING!! The cashier was really nice and there's some seating inside. We placed an online order for the sampler of 8 sandos and omg they were so good. My favorites are the potato salad, tamago, ebi, and KFC. Highly highly recommend to any foodies out there! read more

This unassuming but amazing place needs to be known! The best sushi hands down outside of Japan. Pro tip: go early because they only make a certain number of boxes, once they're gone, it's gone. The better boxes go first like the Toro and the seared maki! Gogogogog!!! read more

My husband liked it but I did not. I had heard a lot of great things, but I just did not like this type of sandwich. The bread is squishy, thick and without texture. The filling was not exciting. I prefer a crusty country bread and multi textured fillings with a bite, so just not for me. You might like it. read more

Not worth the hype or the money. Wife and I got the pork sando & the strawberry sando. Both were disappointing. Looked like plain white wonderbread, both sandwiches fell apart after the first bite. As in, the bread disintegrated and the ingredients fell out. You can tell there was some care and attention paid to how the sandwiches were put together, especially the strawberry sando, but for nearly $20 a pop, I expected some actual flavor. Apparently the nigiri is pretty good, maybe we'll skip the sandwiches and try that next time. read more

Choo Sando Omakase - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

My sister ordered the Sando Itchi for the family to try. Everyone was really impressed with how good the sando's were. Especially since it was driven to Houston! I loved how the flavors were perfectly balanced - nothing too salty/over powering. I liked them in this order: Ebi, menchi, strawberry, kfc, then tamago. We didn't set our standards high for Strawberry Sando but absolutely loved it. We will definitely be back! read more

Happened upon Choo while in the area. What a surprise! I've eaten many Sandos before and these were legit some of the best I've ever had. Unlike other places that put the filling on the top to look like a lot, the Choo sandos are stuffed to the brim. Worth it! We got the fish, chicken, beef, and strawberry kiwi. My kiddos loved them too! Will definitely come back. read more

Friendly staff. I got the shrimp sando and the filling was good but I did not like the bread because it was hard and dry. I also got the sushi set which was fresh and also good. Kinda pricey for a quick bite though. read more

Choo Sando Omakase - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

The place is very small. I didn't dine in and didn't pay much attention to the ambiance - it's a sandwich shop afterall. I ordered online the afternoon before after pouring over the menu for ages. That was a little wonky as it kept doubling my order instead of adding in multiple different sandos. The sando was a let down. See I lived in Japan for 8 years, different parts, traveled a lot. The first food I ate was a cucumber sando in the airport and I was instantly hooked. That soft crustless bread was like biting into a cloud and the super thin sliced Japanese cucumbers .... Aaahhhh oishiii! Sadly, this is not that. The bread is not at all like the Japanese bread. It's like American white bread. The presentation immediately put me off as not Japanese because each of the 4 sandos we ordered still had crust in multiple places. That's not the attention to detail Japan is known for (if you've been to Japan). And of course the size... had to be American super-sized (price too). But Americans who have never been to Japan would complain if they were offered the Japanese size. All in all a huge disappointment and waste of money. Too westernized if you are going to call it Japanese sando. I have been following the shop on Instagram and raved about it to my niece. I was so excited to share this experience with her, but it did not remotely meet my expectations. Skip it if you've had the real thing in Japan. I gave 2 stars because the sando inside ingredients were fresh. read more

So fresh, such complex and rich flavor!!! There was a ton of attention to detail, from the awesome packaging, the presentation, and of course the amazing pairing of flavors. We tried some sandwiches and sashimi. The Japanese milk bread was perfection: creamy, lightly toasted, and fluffy. The texture of the whole sandwich was an awesome mix of crunchy and airy. And the fish in the middle was oh so savory and flavorful. I took a bite and just thought "wow" and went to my happy place. Words can't do it justice; this is such delightful food. It makes me think of some of the hawker stalls that have Michelin stars - it's really that good: tier 1, as good as you'll find anywhere level of food. The sashimi was top tier too. Everything was super fresh, with a subtle hint of wasabi added under the fish to enrich the flavors, in the traditional style. The rice was the perfect texture, just a bit sticky and so bouncy. Not much to say here other than it's great, try it! On top of the incredible food, the restaurant is impeccably clean, and everyone working there was so polite and friendly. 5/5 would recommend. My only concern is they are going to be a victim of their own success and get Franklin BBQ style lines someday, it's that good. Get in now while you can!!! read more

Saw this on insta and thought it was cool to grab some sandos! Got there around 10 and there was already a line. The shop itself is pretty tiny and offer some seating. They have so many choice and the sushi looks so yummy! But this was really pricey stuff, but it is fresh and looks so pretty! I got the cheese katsu sandwich and it wasn't that good tbh maybe if it was hot, but it was a very hard dried pork sandwich. The egg sando was my favorite it ass a lot of egg and a bit on the sweeter side, I also did their sampler with different ones and the cream one I enjoyed but their katsu is not it... salmon was also ok their sushi tho? $40+ but boy oh boy was it delicious! And they came with miso and homemade soy sauce yum! read more

I really wanted to like this place but honestly I left with some mixed feelings. Choo Sando is located in a shopping plaza off Burnet Road with plenty of parking. I went with a friend and got their strawberry dessert sando and shrimp sando. I also tried an iced coffee out of their fridge at the front. The sando come with three sandwiches and while it may not look like a lot these are SUPER filling. The bread is super dense. The shrimp sando didn't really taste like anything and was very bland, so all the flavors weren't really distinct in your mouth. I also thought there was too much bread compared to filling. I love shrimp/sandwiches so was disappointed about this one because I had high hopes for it. I enjoyed the dessert one more, it was very light and airy, perfect for summer! Don't think I will be going here again though. read more

These Japanese sandwiches are like artworks, super tasty, lovely, and healthy. (Even the Sando boxes are elegant.) Also, Chef Choo is very hospitable. Love love love Choo Sando. Will definitely order again and again. Can't wait to introduce it to my friends and family. Will order them for picnics, road trips, and parties. Thank you Chef Choo for bringing it to Austin and make the day delightful. read more

Choo Sando Omakase - Sando San (Sando sampler 8pcs) - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

If you want Austin's best sando - look no further because Choo Sando is amazing! I love the packaging of the sandos. It is elegant and perfect for gifting if needed. The perfect addition of this box was the heating instructions that were included. I found that most of them tasted perfectly fine coming straight out of the fridge, but to each of their own. The honey butter milk bread toast was so addicting! I loved dipping the toast into my cup of coffee. Overall, I am happy that this is the first sando shop in Austin! I cannot wait to buy more. - Tamago: I always love a good egg salad sando! The egg was perfectly boiled and the egg salad was creamy and not overly doused in mayonnaise. It was a little bland for my tongue, but a sprinkle of salt fixed that. - Katsu: Probably my least favourite from the box though it was executed just fine. The sauce was just a little underwhelming for me. - Fruit: One of my favourite sandwiches! I always love a good fruit sando. The whip cream was nice and stabilised. The fruits were all so fresh and good quality. I do think that maybe using canned mandarin oranges will taste better! The skin for the real fruit just lingers in your mouth. - Sally: I am not a huge fan of smoked salmon at all, but this one took me by surprise! The smokey flavour was not strong at all. It was all in balance. I love how creamy the spread was, it complimented the salmon very well. - Ebi: My all time favourite! I loved this one so much. I wish I could have more of it. The slaw paired very well with the ebi. This was one of the ones that I just ate cold. It was delicious as is. - Pescado: I have never had a fish sandwich like this. Choo sando really blows my mind with all the combinations of flavours. - Menchi: Japan's take on "salisbury steak"! This is a must try. The meat was so tender and flavourful. - KFC: You can never go wrong with a fried chicken sandwich. This is a classic that I couldn't get enough of. The thinly sliced pickled cucumbers that were added made all of the difference. - Yaki: The famous tamagoyaki - the layer and technique just makes it dreamy to look at. This piece is slightly sweet and has such a velvety texture. It paired really well with the bread! A nice contrast to the tamago sando. read more

It's 12:45. How tf are you out of food and can't make more? You don't close for another 2 hours. Totally don't have your customers in mind. Compete waste of time. What a great lunch break. read more

Chef Choo is a master of his craft. In my humble opinion, Chef Choo has continued to prove himself as one of the best versatile chef. This is evident in the quality and care he puts into his product. Omakase meaning chefs choice is the perfect way to try the best of the best. I would highly recommend trying the sushi especially with the time he puts into developing homemade soy sauce and recipes. read more

Lobster sandwich was ok. Egg sandwich wasn't very good. The sushi platters looked good, but didn't try them. It sucked for the price. read more

Choo Sandos are the best sandos that I've ever had even including the sandos that I've had in Japan. The presentation is great and taste as good as what they look like. The quality of ingredients are great and cooked perfectly. I cannot say which one is my favorite. They are all fabulous. Mr. Choo has God's hand. He is the best at making anything. All 5 stars Quality, presentation, taste. If I had to say anything bad, they are only available on Wednesdays and Saturdays(so far) and they are normally sold out well ahead of time. read more

MEH. I would describe the food as "meh"... now the fact that it was $86 for 4 sandos is beyond 'meh', LOL. The shrimp tempura sando was good... the chicken katsu was bland, the pork katsu was also bland and overly sweet. The bread on all sandos was dry AF. Are the cute? YEP. Are they tasty? Nope. Are the priced according to anything other than over-hype and presentation? NOPE. If you're into overpaying for cute, flavorless shapes... this is the spot for you. If you're willing to pay up for a spot that checks also the flavor box and the service box (the associate working had all the charm and care of a cardboard box) there are a dozen other options you should try twice before this place.... perfect example as to what's wrong with Austin's now-barely clinging to life new restaurant scene. Sorry, but not good. read more

Choo Sando Omakase - Variety pack! - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

So good! Egg salad sandos are a favorite of mine, so you can imagine my devastation when my former go-to took sandos off their menu. Well, I didn't have to wait too long in ruin after all because Choo Sando opened, and it's way closer to me anyway! I tried the egg salad, KFC, and fruit sandos - all delicious, and all I would get again. The milk bread is a huge highlight. Fillings are important but everyone knows it's the bread that makes the sando, and Choo's bread has a wonderful texture - perfectly fluffy and sweet. The egg salad has great consistency and flavor and is airy, not dense and wet like most egg salads are. Pickup is super simple, as others have pointed out. You simply text Choo to a number he provides the morning of your pickup, and he brings it out to you. I'm incredibly stoked to have a dedicated sando place nearby and can't wait to order week after week! read more

So exciting to have a Japanese sandwich shop in Austin! When Sando was a popular pop up, I always wanted to try but hate to do the pre-order one week in advance.... So I never went. Now with the brick and mortar shop, I finally made my trip to Sando. No more pre-order! All the sandwiches and sushi are nicely boxed and just need to pick up from store. The sandwiches were all so delicious and tasty. The sushi was very fresh! The sushi was a little bit pricy for lunch. read more
