Was looking for a place to grab lunch to go and saw this place. Didn't realize that they closed at 2 pm. I walked in and it looked like they basically sell out by the end of closing time. I was lucky to grab a few! I had the crispy shrimp one and it was mouth watering! Their fan fave, just simple strawberry cream was fluffy and delicious. The egg salad was savory and just what I needed! The ube on the other hand was a little too dense for me with the jam and cream. But it was still good. Great place, will come again when I need a quick bite! read more

I've been here a couple times. I like the sweet sandwiches more than the savory. The strawberries and cream & black sesame with red bean are my favorites so far. The pork cutlet and egg salad were just okay. Nothing special at all with the egg salad, tasted more bland than the ones I make at home. I'll be back to try more flavors a little earlier in the day before all the good flavors sell out. Staff are friendly, shop is very small. read more

To find out there are Japanese sandwiches in America, I was beyond excited. Japanese sandwiches are one of my favorite things in Japan so I knew I had to stop by. We got 7 sandwiches to share among the two of us. A little overboard, but you bet we finished them. My favorite was the tonkatsu sandwich (their best seller) and the strawberry whipped cream sandwich. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any. 10/10! Wish you were in LA. I would visit every week. read more

This place is legit! Growing up in Japan, I always loved Japanese sandwiches. This place has so many options! I can't wait to go back to try more! read more

The sandos are on par with what you would find in Japan. Obviously these are more expensive but that's to be expected. The bread I got was not very soft though, otherwise it's a solid sando. read more

Tres Sandwich is one of our favorite weekend stops! My husband and I usually swing by to grab a few sandwiches before heading out for a hike or beach picnic, and it never disappoints. The sandwiches are always fresh, flavorful, and perfect for taking on the go. My favorite is the Blazing Sesame Chicken -- so tasty and satisfying. It's become part of our little weekend tradition. Highly recommend if you're looking for a delicious, convenient bite! read more

Tres Sandwich in Bellevue is an excellent spot for authentic Japanese-style sandos, offering incredibly fresh ingredients alongside friendly, efficient service. We loved the creamy egg salad and the light, perfectly sweet strawberry fresh cream sandwich. The chicken katsu is also a standout; although eating a cold chicken sandwich might take some getting used to, the meat was remarkably moist and flavorful, making it a highly recommended stop for a quick, high-quality brunch. read more

This Japanese sando shop in Bellevue is something really special. From the moment I walked in, the experience was warm, welcoming, and clearly rooted in care and authenticity. The shop is run by Japanese staff who are kind, attentive, and passionate about what they do, and it really shows. The sandwiches themselves are outstanding. The bread is incredibly soft and pillowy - probably the best shokupan I've ever had. It's the kind of bread that somehow manages to be both light and rich at the same time, and it elevates everything between the slices. I tried a few different options and each one was excellent. The salmon lox sando was fresh and flavorful. The pork katsu was perfectly crisp on the outside and juicy inside. And the strawberries and cream sandwich was delicate, fresh, and not too sweet - the perfect finish. Tres Sandwich strikes a rare balance: creative but rooted in tradition, elevated but approachable. It's clear a lot of thought goes into everything they make. This isn't just a good sandwich shop - it's the kind of place that leaves an impression. I'll absolutely be back, and I'll be telling everyone I know to check it out. read more

Tres Sandwich - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Nut allergy friendly: There are clearly some sandos with nuts, like the peanut butter jelly sandwich, but most do not have any and the ingredients are clearly identified for each if you ask during purchase. According to my local Seattle friend, it is a tradition to take a few sandos on moderately long hikes to enjoy at the summit, so that is what we do (or whenever we're at a convention, or...just want some sandos while I'm in town). Sandos are generally $6-$8. The prices are found in the display cabinet. Service is really fast; sandwiches are pre-made and there are two registers zipping people through. I've had a few sandos from here in the past, usually their pork katsu or the standard ham. They're pretty solid. I recently got the fried cod sandwich and although it is relatively mayo heavy, I thought it was one of their best ones and would definitely get it again. One sando is a nice light lunch and you could definitely eat two or even three on a hike or if you're doing something that makes an appetite. Great little sando spot. Lot of options. Quick service. No complaints. read more

Great grab and go spot to check out before heading off for a hike! We ate these before our nearby 5-mile hike, and it was the perfect fuel. I didn't feel too heavy while staying satiated during the entire hike. They run out of sandwiches early, which is understandable considering how yummy they are. At around 9:30am on a Sunday, I snagged the last TRES Egg sandwich (5/5). This was basically an egg salad sandwich using scrambled egg instead of boiled egg. I also tried the matcha strawberry sandwich (4/5) which was good, but I prefer the regular strawberry sandwich (5/5). I noticed that they had preorders set aside, so it could be worth placing an online order to ensure you get what you want. There are so many options on the menu while at the same time not being too overwhelming. There is something for everyone here! read more

This place sells delicious Japanese sandwiches. The white bread is super soft and pillowy. Sandwiches also are crustless. They have a variety of savory and sweet sandwiches. My go to is the egg salad and the kiddos like the strawberry. Make sure you go there early especially on weekends as the popular sandwiches get sold out. There is an option to order online on their website but it is more like a preorder for pickup 1 business day later. read more

I was really sad after my JP trip that I wouldn't have access to the egg sandos anymore, but now I do! Went in on Sunday around 11 AM to grab an egg and strawberry sando & was not disappointed. The staff recommended the pork cutlet & strawberry sandos as the most popular. I love that they have a variety of options. The bread was so soft and the inside was perfect. I ate these everyday in japan, so it was really nice getting to have them here as well. The stawberries were also deliciously sweet. They are priced at around $5 each which is very reasonable. I will defiantly be coming back for more! The Tres Special is especially calling my name. Since it is only a to-go sandwich shop, you can grab your sandwiches and go to a nearby park for a little picnic. read more

Tres Sandwich - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I like Tres Sandwich but I have issues with their prices, portions, and promise of delivering all types of sandwiches listed on their website and shop since I've never once seen all of these varieties available and visible together. PROS - great location, plenty of parking - online order system is great - supposedly offers a wide variety of sandwiches, both savory and sweet - my favorites are egg salad, fiery chicken, loco moco and shrimp cutlet. Also their sweet sandwiches are great and well filled. - bread is freshly baked, incredibly soft and fluffy. Bread sold separately. The bread reminds me of actual Japanese bread eaten in Tokyo - Friendly and polite staff. Everyone always smiles CONS - savory sandwiches are overpriced for the value. I paid $6.80 before tax for 2 shrimp cutlet sandwiches. Picture shows that only 1/3 of the sandwich is filled. This is consistent across majority of their savory sandwiches where I pay these prices for eating plain bread. If I'm paying such prices for a tiny sandwich I expect a good balance. - The ratio of stuffing to bread is bad. 2/3 of every sandwich lacks any stuffing especially the edges which are always empty. There's not even butter! Skimping on stuffing is one of the cardinal sins in my books. - Never ever have I received, ordered or even seen all the varieties they claim to sell online in person. Yesterday at 11am on a Saturday, when I asked about the loco moco I was told they "were sold out." How can you sell out of a popular sandwich at 11am in the middle of your work day? What are you doing in the kitchen for the next 3 hours? Are you serious? My assumption is that they don't and will never have all the varieties available that they claim to sell. This is a serious offense to my tummy. Produce evidence of said sandwich or remove promises from your site. - limited hours and timing. They've never expanded, don't allow same day orders online and continue to "sell out" like it's a good thing. Well it's not. If you're constantly out of sandwiches you are not successfully forecasting how much to produce. - tipping culture is out of control. You're running a takeout window! Expecting tips when I'm going out of my way to drive, spend time and money to arrive at a small shop where they don't even offer seating, is asinine. Pay your workers living wages and stop shoving off your responsibility to consumers who don't even get the joy of eating a complete balanced sandwich. I have issues with how this business operates and I hope they improve. In the meantime, go check out their sandwiches and make up your own mind. For me, I'm limiting my intake until I see improvements. read more

Tres Sandwich - This business is charging almost $7 for 2 small sandwiches that has 1/3 amount of stuffing in it. Look at the empty bread. - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I have been wanting to go to Tres Sandwiches for years, it's known for the infamous Japanese veggie, meat, seafood, and fruit sandwiches. I got super excited and got 6 different kinds of sandwiches to try which are sweet and savory options. The sandwiches ranged from around $5-$8. While I think it is a bit pricey but after trying it, I might think it's worth it for some options. The first one I had was the pork cutlet, it was absolutely delicious, I was very surprised by this one because even though the sandwich is cold I expected the pork to not taste good, but it still taste great! pork was tender, fried perfectly and goes well with the mayo and bread. My favorite is the strawberry matcha sandwich, this is my first time trying the whipped cream strawberry sandwich which was what this place is famous for and wow it did not disappoint! The bread and whip cream paired perfectly with the sweet and sour strawberry and the matcha just took it to another level. Their sandwiches are so good, the quality is great, bread is super fluffy and milky. Lots of sweet and savory options. Highly recommend! read more

First time trying this shop, We've seen ads for this place and found out it was so close who wouldn't decided to stop in. We chose three sandwiches Matcha strawberry, California, and the caprese. By far the Matcha strawberry was the favorite of the choices however the caprese after eating left my throat irritated (and to the point of this review) my shock that it had contained walnuts. Now at the time of typing this the only menu that makes a mention of the walnuts is off the google menu, no allergen warnings anywhere else. The catch is the ingredients listed on the sandwich that is only viewable after purchasing. Im not trying to make a fuss I could be ignorant to a cultural difference as to what goes into a caprese. However the fact that of all things I chose to eat it's the one I'm allergic to. addition of a tree nut allergy warning would be nice, but for anyone with a tree nut allergy stay away from the caprese. read more

Fast, quality, and reasonably priced. The two sandwiches here cost me $13 which was enough food for a lunch. read more

I absolutely love the house made bread. It is light, fluffy, and slightly sweet. I used to get the Pan Amore bread from Uwajimaya and fresh bread does not compare. I love the fusion of flavors from their Caprese, Yakisoba, cutlets, and red bean. Everything is delicious and each sandwich tastes balanced with flavor in which strong ingredients don't over power the others. I've ordered so much from Tres, and they even have mini sandwiches you can order. read more

I have been by about four time and it's usually either packed or out of sandwiches by the time I get there! Definitely recommended getting there somewhat early if you want to get anything popular! We love the bouncy bread! We got the egg salad sandwich. Always a go to for us! Tasty and filled well! No extra surprises like relish or pickled in the egg salad. 4/5 Sesame chicken was good! Lots of flavor but the chicken is to bread ratio was not great. I probably got two full bites of chicken before the rest was bread. 3/5 Shrimp cutlet was pretty good, nice flavor but similar with it being light on the actual insides and mostly bread 3.5/5 We usually get the strawberries and cream (4.5/5) but tried the ube today! Not overly sweet but a little grainy. The ube was the purple sweet potato powder mix mixed with whipped cream. I personally wasn't a fan of the beans also being in there but I can understand why people would like it. 2.5/5 read more

Tres Sandwich - Shrimp cutlet, egg salad, ube, sesame chicken - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

A nice family run Japanese sandwich takeout in the suburbs of Bellevue. There is a good amount of parking right in front with fast turnover, as this spot is mostly takeout only where you order the sandwiches you want and grab and go. They provide wet wipes upon request if you wish to eat the sandwiches on the spot, but there is no seating inside. There are plenty of options at good prices here, offering both savory and sweet options. I got the strawberry and pork cutlet sandwiches, totaling close to $14, enough for a meal on the slightly lighter side. I enjoyed the strawberry as the strawberries are quite fresh and the whipped cream is fairly light and not too sweet. The pork cutlet is good, a bit more hearty, served cold. I would prefer hot but these sandwiches are all designed and prepared as cold (cooked of course). read more

Ordered online for the katsu sando, egg salad sando, and strawberries and cream sando. My pick up time was 1:45 but it was ready a lot sooner per notification to my email, which was nice. When I came to pick up, it was in the refrigerator. The staff there are incredibly kind! Super sweet with excellent customer service. The sandwiches themselves were great - bread was nice and fluffy. Insides delicious and flavorful. Would definitely come again. read more

Ube - 3/5, pretty good, get this if you want to try something new (if ube is new to you) Service was good, they were friendly. read more

I don't know if you've ever tried the softest bread in the world? Well look no further because Tres has it and it comes with extras included such as Shrimp, Crab, PB&J, Chicken, etc. They have a lot of options for everyone.

Stopped by here after a slightly disappointing lunch somewhere else. What a delightful little grab and go place. Had just been to Japan in October this year and was so reminiscent. The coffee jelly os affordable and tasty. Wide variety of sandwiches to select from. I went with the Tres Special for dinner later. It had half each of ham cucumber, potato salad and egg salad. Bread was soft and ingredients flavorful. Service was friendly and helpful. Space contains mostly pastry cabinets, an area to grab napkins and whatever else you may need. Located in a strip mall parking available. read more

Tres Sandwich - Coffee jelly - Japanese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

tl;dr - big sandwich selection, wait can be long, often runs out of popular sandwiches The sandwiches here are have Japanese cuisine fillings, from katsu to egg salad. All sandwiches are on a soft white bread that has crust cut off and is diagonally cut into two halves. The wait can be really long in the late morning so I would suggest going earlier. Popular flavors can also run out by then. Service is fast and the staff is friendly and efficient. Favorite flavors for me are: 1. Shrimp cutlet - breaded and fried shrimp patty with a katsu sauce and shredded cabbage 2. Egg Salad - nice thick layer of lightly seasoned egg salad 3. Strawberry and cream - sliced strawberry and whip cream read more

I love Japanese sandos and was excited to hear about this place. Everything is made fresh daily, so they close once they run out. The shop is small with a counter to eat at if you want. I got 4 different savory egg salad type sandwiches and one dessert sandwich. The egg salad was very good. My favorite was the tres special which comes with potato salad in it. The strawberry sandwich was also a great dessert that was light and sweet. I'd come back here if I'm in the area again. The workers here were also very friendly and nice. read more

Still enjoying their sandwiches! Tried their new Ube sandwich and what a treat! It's right amount of sweetness. This last visit, I got the Shrimp Cutlet, Miso Katsu, and Ube. Staff is always friendly and helpful. And unless you go when they first open, they're always busy. This last visit, they're celebrating their 10th anniversary. If you spend at least $20, you to spin a wheel for prizes -- merchandise, gift card, etc. Happy anniversary Tres Sandwich! Wishing you continued success! read more

Visiting Seattle and found this little gem. Walking into the store brings much memory back for me as growing up with these kind of sandwiches. We ordered match red bean, strawberry cream, vegetable ( mozzarella cheese, and vegetable, miso katsu, and okonomiyaki (shrimp ). They are all cold sandwiches if you have never try them. Match red beach is delicious for dessert. Just right amount of sweetness. Miso katsu isn't too salty . It's normal that the fillings won't cover the entire sandwiches. Just how it is. I would definitely come back next time when I visit the town! Price can be a bit stiff for the little sandwich. Overall my tummy is happy :) I'm actually full after a meat sandwich. read more

Fresh sandwiches everyday here. It's been a long time since they opened and the quality has not changed which is always a good sign. So many restaurants and stores have gone downhill and this shop is not one of them. So many visits at this store, I have never been disappointed with the quality of their sandwiches. I tend to choose tres special which is made of three different ingredients so I can enjoy different flavors in one meal. My family likes tonkatsu, pork cutlets, really filling sandwich with think Katsu. Unique ones like burdock sandwich and meat sauce hamburger are also really good. I wish they had some sandwiches on a regular menu so I don't need to order ahead.. also the price has gone up so hopefully won't go up anymore read more

I'd give this place 3.5 stars. It's good for a light snack. If you want a small sandwich. The value for what you pay is not great because the sandwiches are pretty small and not very filling. Just a note to everyone who may want to come here, they're constantly rotating sandwiches so whatever is on the board is not always going to be available. This is a tiny shop and it is very crowded with no tables to eat your sandwiches. The sandwiches do look pretty aesthetically pleasing, so I guess that's where a lot of the popularity and social media influence has benefited this business read more

I think the savory sandwiches here are 3.5 stars, but the dessert sandwiches are 4.5 :). I came around noon on a weekday, and they were almost sold out of all of their sandwiches. I really wanted to try the black sesame, but didnt get the chance to. I tried the miso katsu, pork katsu, fried cod, and creamy crab. I also tried the strawberry sandwich as a dessert one. The miso katsu was by far the best, but I think the coldness of all of them threw me off a little. It worked the best for the cod one as it had tartar sauce. The regular katsu was a little dry, and the crab was way too soft and mayo-ey. I will say the strawberry sandwich was fantastic, and Ill still have to be back to try the red bean matcha and black sesame! read more

This place was highly recommended by a lot of people so I had to give it a try! There was a wide variety of sandwiches from sweet to savory. I got the pork Katsu and the strawberry cream both of which were delicious. The Katsu was a good balance of crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside and the Katsu sauce paired well with the bread. The strawberry cream sandwich was also really good. Strawberries were well distributed with a thick layer of cream and it was not too sweet! Perfect snack mid day. They also sell coffee which I want to try next time! 10/10 would go back! read more
