Maybe the novelty wore off but ultimately I think it's the flavors that are lacking. I've tried the karaage sando, egg sando as well as the potato salad side.My husband even went back a couple of times for the chicken karaage sando but was disappointed in the taste. After a couple let downs, we stopped coming. As others have pointed out the price is a bit on the higher side given that the items are a la carte and don't come with anything (sides, etc).Not the spot for me, but worth a shot to see if it's your jam though.

They have lots of seating and a tv with anime playing. From what I heard the chefs were trained in Japan. Each hot sando was cooked to order and we tried the following sandos. Chicken Karaage $13) enjoyed this. The chicken was moist and juicy on the inside and krsipy on the outside. The cabbage condiments and togarashi mayo that accompanied the patty enhanced the flavor; however, it's a bit heavy for me. Egg Salad Sando $7) Of the three sandwiches this was my least favorite. I think it was a tad underseasoned, but I still ate all of my portion. Ebi Filet O $14) This shrimp patty sando was my favorite. It had a nice chew and I thought the cabbage gave it a nice crunch. I'd order this again. It's a casual dining, that's homey, but felt authentic. I'd be open to coming back, though I would order the Ebi Filet O and not share. lol Happy eats!

Karaage sando was HEAVY on the mayo. I could see how it would be good with smthe cucumbers but I got the fried sweet potato, which I enjoyed. read more Karaage sando was HEAVY on the mayo. I could see how it would be good with smthe cucumbers but I got the fried sweet potato, which I enjoyed.
