I was drawn in by how authentically Japanese the sandwiches looked, but the taste was underwhelming--nothing remarkable or memorable. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to try it. read more

Quaint little area right across the Eye sculpture in Main street. The strawberry sandwich was refreshing and delicious. Also love the cheeseburger sandwich. Don't forget to try their Arnold Palmer. The sandwiches are packed in cute take out boxes and the servers are very nice and patient. read more

I love sandoitchi! Been visiting so many of their pop ups over the years in California. And glad to visit their brick and mortar store here in Dallas, TX. Located is right across the street from the giant eyeball. Their egg sando is the best ever. No one does it better period. This location has more items than they have at their pop ups. I tried the burger sando here. Which was incredible. Has a panko crust over the beef patty. I had the fried spam here as well. Another winner. They also serve curly fries with a housemade yuzu ranch dip. For drinks I tried the banana matcha latte. Nice smooth flavor. Happy to have visited and will definitely be back. Great friendly service from the staff as well! Recomemndation: Egg sando, burger sando, fried spam sando, truffle chicken sando read more

Ah, Sandoitchi, the quirky gem of Downtown Dallas. If you haven't visited yet, just picture this: you, nibbling on a pricey but delightful hot sandwich, while sitting directly across from the city's famous giant eyeball sculpture. It's as if your lunch is being intensely judged by a 30-foot-wide optic nerve, but hey, that's part of the charm. Let's start with the sandwiches: they are genuinely good--particularly the hot ones. They strike a delightful balance between fluffy bread and savory fillings, and if you close your eyes (to match your stone-faced neighbor across the street), you could almost imagine yourself munching on a sando in Tokyo. Almost. The Asian chips that come with them are unique, with flavors that dance between quirky and genuinely delicious--these aren't your standard salt-and-grease-crisps. Instead, they offer a crunchy adventure that will have you guessing the seasoning if you choose to ignore the bag label, which feels like a mini-game to go along with your meal. Now, let's talk drinks. They are... how should I put this? Let's say, they are sophisticatedly priced, likely reflecting the privilege of watching Dallas' most notable public sculpture while sipping. Whether the price tag is due to the view, the imported ingredients, or just an ambitious business model is up for debate. Speaking of ambitious--yes, the wagyu and lobster offerings are here for those feeling adventurous, or for those who might have accidentally inherited a fortune. Expect to drop close to $100 if you're venturing down that decadent path. But hey, sometimes we splurge on something ludicrously fancy just to say we did, right? All in all, Sandoitchi is a one-time experience if you're curious or nostalgic for Japanese sandwiches, or just want to Instagram the vibe. It's not an everyday stop--unless you're trying to impress the eyeball across the street with your spending habits. While I've seen some regulars who have presumably decided to make Sandoitchi their new hobby, for the rest of us, it might be more of a "been there, done that" situation. If you're on a daily sandwich quest and looking to get the most flavor for your dollar, other Downtown Dallas spots will certainly do a more merciful number on your wallet. But for those days when a hot sandwich, unique chips, and a good-natured stare-off with a giant eyeball sound like your kind of midday escape--Sandoitchi is ready to welcome you, fancy drink and all. PS: Don't forget the dessert. ;P read more

A friend recommended Sandoitchi to me during a weekend wedding trip to Dallas and all I can say is that I wish I lived in Dallas so I could eat here all the time! The space inside is small with some tables outside for people to quickly grab a bite. The guy working the cash register was very friendly in explaining the menu and showing the selection of exotic chips that they also sell here. We ended up ordering two spicy chicken katsu sandos, a strawberry and cream sando, and an assortment of their fun drinks (matcha strawberry latte, yuzu Arnold Palmer, banana latte). The sandos were perfectly made, with a quality that reminded me of the standard of excellence from Japanese konbinis and stores! The chicken katsu was perfectly fried and the portion size generous. Out of the drinks, the banana latte was my favorite because it was the most unique in my opinion, but the Arnold Palmer was a refreshing start to a humid day and the matcha strawberry reminded of Boba Guy's iconic drink. read more

Sandoitchi - SPICY TRUFFLE CHICKEN KATSU SANDO, STRAWBERRY CREAM SANDO, STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE (COLD), YUZU ARNOLD PALMER, BANANA MATCHA LATTE (COLD) - Japanese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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. read more

I wanted to rate this place 3.5 stars but couldn't. My wife was excited to try it out, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere seemed promising, with a lively and welcoming vibe. The service and staff were exceptional--everyone was in high spirits and genuinely friendly, which was refreshing. However, here's why I had to deduct points: I ordered the burger, and my wife tried the chicken katsu. The chicken katsu was decent; it was tender, but the flavors didn't blend well, and the wasabi threw the dish off balance. The burger was unique with its katsu-style bread crumb coating, but again, the flavors just didn't come together harmoniously. Additionally, the price felt about 15-20% higher than justified for what we received. Overall, while the food had its shortcomings, the great vibe and friendly staff were definite highlights. read more

I got their fried raspberry matcha sando. The bread was very buttery and has a slight crisp to it. Their truffle spicy chicken katsu tasted more like a mild Buffalo sauce chicken. No truffle flavor. Both items are good but a bit pricey. The people there are really nice too. They have outside sittings since the inside is small. read more

The workers were really sweet, but unfortunately the drinks were not good at all. For a $12 matcha I would expect the drink to taste like matcha. The drink had little to no ice and little to no matcha, even though it was the "double matcha latte". I would not recommend getting a matcha here especially for the price. The food was okay but I wouldn't come back for it. read more

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. read more

Drinks were not very good, more milk than anything, and matcha was mostly strawberry barely any matcha.

A great sando spot and was so happy to find one in downtown Dallas! They really got it down to an art. We had the katsu sandwich, cheese katsu, and the meet is always cooked so well & really yummy. Food comes out relatively quickly, there are some small high tops to eat but we prefer taking them out. read more

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 !!

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 read more

Hot Sandwiches, Creative Chips, and an Eyeball View Worth a Quick Splurge If you've ever craved a touch of Tokyo in Dallas, Sandoitchi might just be your ticket--well, if you're willing to pay a premium for it. Nestled in Downtown, right across from the city's iconic giant eyeball sculpture, this spot serves up some solid hot sandwiches ("oishii" for sure) that almost transport you to Japan... until the bill comes. The sandwiches are genuinely tasty, and the Asian chips on the side add a creative twist--flavors that are as unpredictable as they are fun. It's like getting a little surprise with your sando. As for the drinks, they're as pricey as they are Instagrammable--just the sort of indulgence that pairs well with a giant eyeball glaring at you. Speaking of indulgence, the wagyu and lobster sandos are here for those with adventurous hearts and deep pockets. Expect to spend nearly $100 if you're going all in. More realistically, you're looking at $25 for a sandwich, chips, and a drink--enough to make you think twice about making this a regular habit. It's a fun experience if you're missing Japan or just curious, but not the place for a daily fix unless you're feeling particularly generous with your yen--uh, dollars. For one-time nostalgia or a quirky lunch across from Dallas' most judgmental sculpture, Sandoitchi delivers. Otherwise, your wallet might thank you for finding other nearby options. read more

I went to your pop-up store in Denver, located inside the Source hotel's building. Your Matcha drinks are great! I had your Strawberry matcha latte and Horchata Matcha. We went to your pop-up store twice. First time we waited in line for about 20 mins, which was fine to us. But the second time we went, the line was triple in length from the last time. So our group decided not to have your drinks that day. If you'd like to improve your customer satisfaction, please do not come back ever again to the Source building as your pop-up or permanent location. The parking issue at the Source hotel is very frustrating. We got stuck inside the parking building for more than 15 minutes, just trying to get out. There is only one lane for paying parking fee and the shops there do not validate our parking. The building charges extensive fees with only one hour free parking, the next hour is $8, the following hour is $16. With the line to order your drinks of about 20 minutes to an hour plus traffic inside the parking building, customers easily have to pay a minimum of $8 for every time they visit this parking building. If I go just to buy one drink of $10 and I have to pay $8 for parking, I don't think I can justify the parking fee. If you come back to Denver, we'd love to visit your shop again. Therefore, please do not come back to the Source hotel's building again next time if you'd like to improve your clients' satisfaction. I hope you understand our frustration. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

These sandwiches are just gross. I don't think that they are worth the hype at all, and I wouldn't say that the people behind the desk are too kind either. I tried the Chicken sand and the Strawberry Sando. They were fine, but way overpriced. I would not go back. read more

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. read more

This was at the state fair. I was too excited and had high expectations but it's basically fried toast, whipped cream with strawberries and sprinkled matcha. I could taste all the components individually rather than together. For the price I wouldn't buy it again but to try it once it is average. read more

Came here with a friend for a quick lunch break. We had to find street parking and the spot is very tiny so can be easy to miss at first.

They have other options on the menu we want to come back and try! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 :) read more

The food is very delicious. I got the Ebi Shrimp Katsu Sando, the Mango Une Sando, Dirty Earl Latte, and Takoyaki Chips.

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. read more

First time trying Sandoitchi today in Oklahoma City. We pre-ordered on Sunday evening and picked up our order today (Tuesday).

Can't wait until they come back to OKC! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 *** read more

Honestly not a fan of the location, it's always a nuisance finding parking downtown. There's also little seating so I would only eat outside on a nice day or take it to go otherwise. The egg salad sando was SO good! Disappointed in the hojicha latte which had no sweetness whatsoever despite listing brown sugar syrup as an ingredient, maybe they forgot? I would love to come back & try other sandos in the future. read more

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.

Sandoitchi - Hot chicken, curry chicken, egg salad, fruit sandwiches and fries - Japanese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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. read more
