    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.

    Egg and Spam

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Chicken Katsu Sandwich

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Chicken Katsu Sandwich ($17.50)

    We placed an order on Grubhub for pickup, and all of our sandwiches were ready when we arrived! Its a small but cute restaurant that's well decorated inside with cute little pig figures and plants by the windows. -Chicken Katsu Sandwich ($17.50): This came with a very generous amount of katsu (two pieces stacked ontop of eachother. The chicken wasn't as juicy as I would like but wasnt dry either. There was a good amount of sauce and cabbage to balance out the amount of chicken! The bread itself was very soft and fluffy. Overall, this is a pretty good chicken katsu sandwich, and I'm glad I finally came to give it a try. I likely won't go out of my way to come back, but would stop if I'm in the area and looking for a quick meal. I did try a bite of my friend's pork tonkatsu sandwich and that seemed to be more tender so I might try that next time.

    Cute little Japanese sando shop with no seating inside, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. The store itself is small but has a nice aesthetic. Parking is street only, which might be tricky during busy hours. The sandos were a bit bigger than I expected! We tried: - Tonkatsu - My favorite! The crispy pork chop was crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired really well with the katsu sauce and kewpie mayo. - Spam & egg - A nice combo with a soft-boiled egg and spam katsu. The signature mayo added a nice touch. - Chashu - Flavorful and juicy, especially with the sweet shoyu sauce. - Egg salad - A bit bland for my taste, so I wouldn't get it again. - Choux with strawberry cream - Stuffed with lots of fresh strawberries and cream, perfectly sweet and creamy without being too heavy. Slightly pricey for what it is, but the flavors were solid and it was fun to try!

Mr. Banh Mi is a small hole-in-the-wall with a pickup window and a tiny interior counter and kitchen. I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh Mi since the young man up front kindly recommended it, and my girlfriend ordered the Tofu Banh Mi. These sandwiches were super well-priced and came out fast, hot, and good-sized. They smelled amazing and had our mouths watering immediately. We ate half at the beginning of our walk and saved the other half for later in the day at Golden Gate Park. The BBQ pork had a great sauce on it and plenty of jalapeños and pickled veggies, mostly carrots, and not quite enough daikon for me personally, but it was absolutely loaded with meat and vegetables. It was delicious when fresh, but somehow even better a few hours later when I finished the second half. The sauce had soaked into the bread more, and the flavors really came together. I did miss the usual huge helping of buttery Vietnamese mayo, and there was no pâté, which was a slight disappointment for me. It did feel a little dry at first since the juicy marinated BBQ pork had to provide most of the moisture. That said, the bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and everything tasted super fresh. Overall, this was the perfect on-the-go meal, and I would definitely come back next time I'm heading to Golden Gate Park.
