We came to this food pod for this place and it did not disappoint. They had a long line therefore long wait but plenty to keep you occupied because there are a ton of other food pods.
Absoluteky amazing sandwiches with incredibly kind people running thr truck! I had the scotch egg sando and it was divine. There was the perfect amojnt of runny yolk and sauce to accompany it. We also got one of the tofu sandos and it was great as well! The bread is perfectly soft and the sauces bring the whole sandwich together. Absolutely worth going to! We hit the truck on a rainy weekday and had no line or wait for our food! They have a nice seating area in the middle of the food trucks as well!
Got the recommended Tokyo Sando with Pork ($16.39). It's a hearty, sweeter sandwich that's definitely big enough to share between two people. Half a sandwich was plenty. The pork was crispy and had great flavor. I have another go-to Japanese sando spot (in Vegas) and while this one is good, its flavor profile leans distinctly sweeter.
We came too early and ended up waiting about 20 min before the opened. Which meant by the time they opened we had started a fairly decent sized line. The people wanted sandos! Ordering was efficient. Food was ready within 10 min. We got the Tokyo pork and the scotch egg. They were both well executed and filling. The scotch egg was creative and gave all the fun and joy of both a gyoza and a scotch egg. I'd be fine having it without the cabbage and bread- it didn't really eat cleanly in Sammy form. Each sandwich was shy of $17.
I visited from the other side of the country and I've been waiting to try the Scotch Egg Sando. Even with all that hype this place still exceeded my expectations. Sandwich 5/5 Service 5/5 - loved how happy and appreciative they were that I stopped by.
The food was well put together. There is an always a line so be prepared to wait. Service is great. Nice staff. It's a food cart pod- you know what to expect.
I've been wanting to get to Tokyo Sando for a long time, since hearing it was rated as one of the top sandwiches in Portland. It's a Portland vibe, one of the oldest food cart pods in the city! They seem so simple. Just regular white bread with some basic meat pounded out and breaded, a little sauce, and lettuce. How they're able to put out so much flavor is beyond me, but they are so damn good! If I had someone visiting the city and they asked for an amazing sandwich that they could only get here, this is where I'd take them. Super friendly service and pretty quick despite long lines. My only regret is forgetting to order some of the Japanese style fried chicken on the side!
Tokyo Sando was awesome! Cute lil food truck with a small, but delicious menu. We grabbed their crispy tofu sandwich and it did not disappoint. The bread was phenomenal and flavors were incredible. Two people can easily split a sandwich and I can't wait to come back again.
Long line but food was ready quickly and so tasty!! They even have a vegan option which was hot and crispy and full of flavor.
Tokyo Sandos were so so good! If i ever come back to portland i will be eating one again! Super crispy and bread was nice and soft
Great food truck area! No long wait during lunch time, fast service and friendly as well. I enjoyed the bread and the chicken itself was great. Personally the sauce was very overpowering for us so we'd try another sandwich and maybe ask for the sauce in the side besides that it was a great sandwich!
Came here for a rainy Sunday lunch. Located in the Midtown Beer Garden - a closed off area with tons of food trucks. Ordered at the counter from a very friendly cashier. Picked up our sandwich in about 10 minutes. Plenty of covered community seating to eat our lunch. Miso Katsu Sando, Pork - Slightly toasted fluffy bread, katsu that was well fried, shredded cabbage. I thought each element was pretty good, but overall was hoping for more. Like more sauce/condiments to bring it all together. One of my friends that I was traveling with said they liked the regular (non-Miso) Pork Katsu Sando better, so if I'm ever in the area again, I'll need to check out that version.
That miso pork katsu sandwich was sooo good I still think about it after so many days. This will be a must stop for me next time I am in Portland! Crunchy, soft, juicy, just Yuuuuum. The whole thing was just perfect.
TLDR: Popular Portland food truck with a long wait, friendly service, and filling sandwiches that were worth it. ------ One of my Portland friends brought us here, and it ended up being a great recommendation. The food truck is located inside a food truck plaza with plenty of options nearby and ample outdoor seating with picnic tables. This particular food truck had a long line, which made the wait to order a bit lengthy. However, it was well worth it. The woman taking orders was incredibly kind and bubbly, which added to the overall experience. After ordering, the food took about 20 minutes to come out, but I did not mind since the sandwiches ended up being really good. The sandwiches were flavorful and very filling. Honestly, I probably could have been satisfied with just one sandwich. Overall, I thought this spot was worth the wait. I would definitely come back if I were in Portland again. read more

Came here after seeing that they have a scotch egg sando and knew I had to try it! This food truck is located in a food cart area with a ton of carts around so there's ample seating and a variety of options if you're coming with a group. The line ended up being pretty long around 3pm on a Saturday (they close at 3:30pm) and between ordering and getting our food, we waited about 30 min. I did really like the sando though. The scotch egg was nicely fried and crispy on the outside with a soft gyoza stuffing filling. My only wish is that it was a bit easier to eat and that it had more seasoning as the gyoza filling was a bit bland and the egg smaller than I thought it was be. But overall pretty tasty and definitely worth trying. I'll have to come back and try their OG Tokyo Nando sandwich. read more

Tokyo Sando is an excellent katsu sandwich. However the line can get quite long on weekends. Staff are super friendly. Overall: 4.2/5 Tried the Original Tokyo sandwich and the chicken nanban. Original Tokyo sandwich is excellent, with a really good mix of flavors that combine really well. The black garlic here provides really good flavor. Nanban was a bit disappointing, sauce was a bit one note. Unfortunately the line was super long when we went so it took a while to get our food. Probably go at a less busy time (weekday) but worth it for visitors. read more

My partner and I split a pork miso katsu sando and it was delish. Perfectly soft bread with juicy tender katsu. Order came out fast and staff was super friendly :) read more
Came back two years later and they are still serving the most simple yet powerful sandwiches! Service is top notch and the owners seem to intentionally hone their craft and love what they do. Miso Pork Katsu Sando - 5/5 - super soft bread that soaks up the sauce and pairs oh so well with the crispness of the pork. The cutlet is long and thin, with the black garlic adding such a pleasant punch of flavor to die for. Chef's kiss read more
HIGHLY RECOMMEND The miso katsu sando was heavenly. Honestly, better than some of the Sandos I had when I was in Japan. There's one lady running it and she makes each order fresh. It's a bit of a wait due to this but it's worth it. The lady is so sweet and you can tell she puts her love into every sando she gives. I'm lucky I got to try her food! It was delicious. Make sure you eat it right away when it's warm so the bread doesn't get soggy! read more

Flavor (4/5): If you are also missing the sandos from Japan this spot gets you really close to those! The egg salad sando was fluffy and honestly inhaled in 3 bites. Their chicken katsu sando was saucy, if anything the cabbage and sauce made the chicken less crispy. We tried their chicken karage as well, not as battered and crispy as I'm used to but their yuzu sauce was very interesting! Instagram Worthy (4/5): For a food truck, it's so cute. The sandwiches come out ready for pictures. If anything their chicken karage felt more like an after thought. Service (4/5): Run by a couple; they get a lot of business so there's almost always a line! Food didn't take too long to get to us. They are very sweet and give off authentic Japanese hospitality. Takeaways: One of the best stalls in this food truck park! It's right in the front you can't miss it. read more

Was a bit of a wait (30 minutes in line), sandwich was ready in 10 after ordering. Very nice service, apologized for the wait time, no need too. Others would get other food items at other pods while waiting for there orders, smart of them. Would try this spot again if there wasn't as long of a wait. There was an argument in the vicinity, security was on top to deescalate it and protect me read more
You know a spot is good when you buy a tshirt to remember it by! A friend from Portland recommended Tokyo Sando and I'm so glad she did. Their katsu sando is top tier - I'd fly back across the country for that cutlet alone. read more
The lady running Tokyo Sando was so kind. The thick fluffy soft bread with little to no crust reminded me so much of sandwiches in Japan. I got the Miso Pork Katsu Sando to try as pork is always going to be favored for Katsu and it sure didn't disappoint. The pork Katsu was huge. Unfortunately the egg Sando was sold out when I visited but next time I'm in Portland, I'm definitely returning to try it. There's a lot of seating in the center of the lot that Tokyo Sando is in along with neighboring food businesses. Parking might be a little difficult depending when you go, but a little walk is nothing when the reward is a good ole Japanese sando. read more
Their sandos reminded me of my previous Japan trip. It was so delicious, juicy, light and i finished in 5 minutes. Service was quick and convenient. You ordered at the counter and they let you know when it is ready for pick up. They have plenty of tables and seats. Restroom available for the customers. First time visiting the food truck area and Im glad that I chose Tokyo Sando. Definitely wanna come back for more sandos. Thank you for being so awesome! read more
Visited Tokyo Sando for the first time during a trip to Portland with friends. I'll admit, I haven't explored Portland's food truck scene nearly as much as I should have on prior visits, so Tokyo Sando wasn't on my radar - and tbh, it's easy to walk right past since the exterior is casual and unassuming. Luckily I was with a group of foodies who did know about it and were eager to go, and I'm so glad we did! It ended up being one of - if not THE - best sandwiches we had in Portland. Three of us shared two sandwiches (the gyoza scotch egg and the pork katsu) and also sampled the egg salad from another friend. Everything was delicious, but the unanimous favorite was the gyoza scotch egg - such a clever and tasty twist. I don't make it to Portland often, but Tokyo Sando is now officially on my "must return" list for future visits. read more
I finally tried the scotch egg sando! It was impressive and exceeded expectations! The combination of flavors is superb, but it's not very easy to eat. You will need some napkins - which I had to ask for. It's not cheap at $16.99. This truck is now in the Midtown Beer Garden. It's not always open. They sell out of good items often. The curry egg sando seems to still say coming soon, even when I get there early. read more

I got the miso pork katsu sando. It's super filling; I ate it over two sittings. The milk bread is so soft and soaks up all the sauce. And they don't skimp on the katsu. I will just say that I found the sandwich to be on the sweeter side because of the sauce they use. read more
Good Japanese food cart and service. Located inside the Midtown Beer Garden food trucks in Portland. My son loved the bread served with the Katsu Sando Sandwich just like in Japan! Delish! Outdoor seating area available. Nice vibe eating area to enjoy your meal! read more
Loved my chicken sando from Tokyo Sando! I was passing through Portland and wanted to pick up a quick lunch to go from Tokyo Sando. Ordering in advance was easy. I went through their website and placed my order at 12:20, and it was ready for me 40 minutes later. I reached the actual stand 15 minutes later and was able to easily pick up my order. Note that Tokyo Sando is part of the Midtown Beer Garden in downtown Portland, and even on a Monday afternoon, parking was hard to find. Luckily we were just picking up, so my friend waited for me in the car while I ran out and grabbed the food. The Midtown Beer Garden had a really cute vibe, with music playing and at least 20+ different restaurants serving food with plenty of outdoor seating. I wish we could have eaten here as it was such a nice spot. We ended up pulling over at a rest area and eating there, which was also fine. I ordered the miso chicken katsu sando ($15.99) for myself and the Naka sando ($15.99) for my friend. Even though we ate ~30 min after picking up the sandos, both were still crispy and delicious. The miso chicken katsu sando is on the sweeter side, which was perfect for me, while the Naka sando is more savory. Portions are also very big, especially for the chicken katsu sando which comes with two pieces of chicken. We actually ended up only eating half a sando for lunch and ate the other half for dinner, and that was more than enough food for the two of us. Would highly recommend Tokyo Sando to anyone living in or passing through Portland! read more

My first time here. Ordered the recommended Naka Sando. It was delicious. 10/10. Lots of flavor, chicken was cooked to perfection. I could have ate two of them. Price was a bit high, though, you can taste the quality in the food and you can tell they take pride in their craftsmanship when making the sandos. I will definitely be back to try the entire menu lol. It all looked good. I might try the curry Sando next time. The lady was very sweet, I'm assuming she was the owner. Had a smile on her face the entire time she was taking my order and when handing me my order. Great customer service, clean truck. read more
Food (5/5): We got the miso katsu sando which had egg, curry, and crispy bread. It was quite delicious but a bit hard to eat since the egg falls out of the sandwich. Service (4/5): Service is a bit slow as there was only one person working but they were friendly and helpful. It took about 10ish min for us to get the food from starting to line up. Regardless the server had a really good attitude and friendliness. Ambiance (5/5): Inside a beautiful Biergarten with tons of food courts, lively music, and tons of seating. Really liked the diversity of foods available. There were soooo many global cuisines represented in the food trucks. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect with this place but I was quite happy with it! I got the Miso pork katsu sando. The miso sauce had good flavor and the garlic added a nice touch. I wish the pork wasn't fried as long but it wasn't bad. The sandwich is a bit small for the price but it's definitely worth a try. There was also a long line but the food came quick and the workers were lovely and so helpful. Since it's a food cart it's in a cute food cart pod with lots of options. Theres a decent amount of seating and overall it's a fun place to hang out and try different things. read more
Service was decent. Food was definitely unique. Pretty delicious. Food cart located at midtown beer garden. It was a particularly cold day. They had the heat lanterns on. Walked to the Portland art museum after. Convenient location. read more

Tokyo Sando has to be my favorite food truck period. It's a food truck, so ambiance is what the weather is, but it's in a great food truck area in downtown, close to all the major attractions. The staff has always been super nice! The sandwiches are insane. Any time I come to Portland I make sure I stop in for a Sando. From the Katsu Sando to the Tamago Sando, to anything in-between, it's always fresh, crunchy, well flavored, just all around fantastic! This is the type of food truck I'd happily give a Micheline star to if I had the power. Until my next visit! read more

Incredibly delicious, filling, and worth every bite! Service is friendly and gets out orders soon as they can although do expect a 15min wait for your order during lunch hours. The scotch egg sando had a flavorful, well seasoned gyoza surrounding a medium soft egg. Sauce and black garlic both added rich flavor without being overpowering. Light and balanced bread and veggie to round things out. The miso/pork chicken katsu have a perfectly crunchy breading and are both soft on the inside. Good sauce and black garlic although I wish it was spread out a tad more. read more
Tokyo Sando is situated in a cute little food truck park with a covered picnic table courtyard in the center. A bit of a wait for my sandos but WORTH IT. The egg sando was a new take on classic egg salad but it was perfection with the softest bread and the freshest eggs. But the miso chicken katsu was the showstopper: literally decadent, sweet and savory and crispy crunchy. Drooling forever over these sandos! read more

Get there early is all I can say. We thought we were getting there early enough, but we were mistaken. We really wanted to try the egg salad sando but they had sold out long before we got there. We ended up only being able to get the chicken naka sando, and the chicken katsu sando. These sando's are huge, stuffed with lots of chicken and toppings. It was kind of hard to eat, and I could have done with less chicken. The double layer is a bit much for me and those in my group. Definitely something that needs to be eaten fresh because it does not taste the same after and bread gets soggy. read more
