    Chicken Katsu Sandwich
    Jade L.

    My friend and I stopped by for lunch on the weekend and split a chicken katsu sandwich. The chicken was good, not greasy at all, and the bread was light and fluffy. I appreciated that the staff did not drown the sandwich in mayo and kept it to a minimum. At $19+ after tax, however, the sandwich cost 1.5 x's the average price of other, more complex sandwiches I've gotten in the city, so Bread N' Chu is definitely on the pricier side.

    I sought out this Japanese sando shop even though I'm not in the Outer Richmond much. However, the lure of an authentic Japanese sando motivated my crosstown journey from SoMa. When I arrived around 3PM, there was only one customer sitting at the window counter. I was actually happy to see seating at all because previous reviews warned there was none to be found. There was quite a robust menu of choices including Tonkatsu, Chashu, Unagi & Egg, and Korokke Curry. I couldn't help but notice the price points were on the high side (e.g., Unagi & Egg was $24). However, I was hopeful when I ordered the $15 Japanese Egg Salad Sando. It was nicely packaged, but when I opened it up, something disappointed me right away. The milk bread was way too thick (Photo 9). The best Japanese egg salad sandos come assembled with much thinner slices of milk bread. That's what they prepare and sell at the konbinis in Japan, and those sandos are perfect. This was not, and the bread tasted a tad stale by 3PM. It overwhelmed the egg salad which was mixed rather bizarrely with edible flowers. I'm willing to concede the thicker bread might work better with a more substantial filling like Korokke but not with something more pliable like egg salad. It did taste better with the $14 Choux Sando with Strawberries perhaps because the fruit gave me something to bite into amid the choux cream (Photo 8). For egg salad, however, if they'd slice the bread to half the width, then I'd be happier. FOOD - 3 stars...that thick bread! AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the seating makes it nice...though they hide the prep area SERVICE - 3.5 stars...quite restrained TOTAL - 3 stars...calling Family Mart!...calling Lawson's!

    Randomly stumbled upon this Japanese fruit sandwich place because a friend really likes the fruit sandwiches. The storefront isn't the most appealing, and it's honestly hard to impulse buy here because there's no line, barely any pictures, and you can't see the treats like you would most bakeries. That said, friend was determined so she bravely blind-bought the strawberry sandwich and matcha drink, which had an okay wait. The matcha drink was super super sweet - so sweet that I'm pretty sure we missed the option to reduce the sweetness which was unfortunate. She ended up tossing the drink but- The sandwiches were pretty good! The milk bread was a bit dry for me, but the Japanese "sweetness" on the cream was done well. I'd guess it's still on the pricy side even with it's pretty large size, but if you're in the area, it's nice to have this place for convenience. I don't think I'd trek all way through the City just for this, but if in the area or if trying a bunch of eateries nearby, Bread N' Chu is great to have around.

    This place stole my heart. Breaded spam and soy marinated eggs on a soft toast, absolutely delicious. Highly recommend ordering ahead for a smooth grab and go experience.

    Pork Tonkatsu Sandwich
    Kristi G.

    At Bread N' Chu the flavors land, A Richmond lunch that's truly grand. The pork katsu sandwich steals the show, Perfect ratio, bite after bite you'll know. The bread stays firm, not soggy or weak, A filling meal any day of the week. The gyoza too--so juicy, divine, This little spot is a lunchtime find. A little pricey, but worth the spend, For katsu this good, I'd recommend!

    Tonkatsu Sandwich
    Wesley L.

    Tonkatsu Sandwich- Soft, fluffy bread with that crispy pork. Overall really good tonkatsu sandwich. The bread is not too soft that it just compresses and is sticky. Nice and crispy pork and the dressing and lettuce in the sandwich helps balance it out A nice small little place that is great for takeout. There is a small nook to the side to eat there which we did. Excited to try the other sandwiches there in the future. We took muni to get there which was pretty easy. Parking in the area is limited but doable.

    If you're craving a sandwich like you had on your vacation to Japan, THIS is the spot. Sadly, it will cost you a pretty penny more than you paid in Tokyo, but hey, at least you don't have to fly over an ocean to satisfy your jones. The pork sandos, chicken sandos, egg sandos, fruit sandos, all the sandos, EVERYTHING is delicious here! The coffee drinks are great too! The reasons I can't give 5 stars are because there's nowhere to sit, nowhere to park, and I blow an entire paycheck when I eat here. But wow, the food here is really really really good. Fast and friendly service too. Thank goodness I don't live near this place. It's a great spot to pick up picnic food on our way to Golden Gate Park or the Presidio.

    Highly recommend for catering if you're willing to pay. The sandwiches were massive, extremely fresh (came hot), beautifully packed and labeled, and were each so delicious. Favorites were the unagi and egg as well as the special truffle sandwich. Bread is super thick and not too sweet, perfect complement to the umami-rich fillings of each sammie. Would order again!

    I was looking for a small and quick lunch and decided to try Bread N' Chu. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Sandwich and it took about 15-20min to prepare. The taste was decent, but the sandwich was a little dry. I paid $17.50 which is a little steep, but it included 2 chicken katsu breasts so it was a decent portion size. It's a decent option if you're close by and want a quick meal or snack, but it's not a place I would go out of my way to visit.

    This is a really cute spot with fun sandwiches if you want a break from Dutch crunch. The chicken katsu was fresh and still warm inside. The strawberry cream sandwich was also great, not too sweet and fresh fruit. The sea salt coffee was okay, but it ended up being a bit too much cream for me (personal preference). The service was polite and fast. I only docked a star because the sandwiches were a bit pricey for the size (what in SF isn't though), the place didn't have very much seating and lacked a bathroom.

    I've been wanting to try a Japanese sando for awhile now, so I decided to try this place. I got this meal for a late lunch around 3pm ordering delivery and it didn't take long for it to be made. Anyways, I got the Chicken Katsu sandwich and also the Sea Salt Coffee with Cheese Creamer. I felt the sandwich is the perfect size for a meal since it was enough to fill me up. I also had to get myself a drink too! I wanted to get something a bit unique, so I got the Sea Salt Coffee with Cheese Creamer. The cheese creamer gave it an extra flavor. I'd recommend this place! They have a good variety of items and Japanese sandwiches here and they sell appetizers like fries too!

    Small little shop in the heart of Outer Richmond district. Very clean shop with quick service...now for the food...we were hungry so we ordered the chashu sandwich, the Spam and Egg Sandwich, the Egg Salad sandwich and last but not least we had to order the Choux with fresh strawberries. Each sandwich was made with Japanese Milk Bread...soft spongie and flavor absorbing goodness!!! Cannot go wrong with this place! Can't wait to go back and try the Katsu Sandwiches!!!

    Katsu sandwich was piping hot and certainly felt made to order. Bread was soft and fluffy and line moved fast. Felt a smidge pricey all things considered but overall not a bad spot to split a sando!
