Ordered pick up from here a few weeks ago and it was delicious! Really took me back to my trip to Japan where I had the most amazing egg sandwiches' of my life. Glad I found a spot that I can now get my fix at. I also tried the eggplant sandwich which was also very good and flavorful. I'll be back for sure, so yum!!

Location, location, location, I'll get back to this later, Came here because it came up on a yelp recommendation number 17 in Wicker Park. I wanted something different and I've never had Japanese sandwiches before so to speak. Well they did not disappoint, especially the KFC. The pickled veggies and the sauce here with the juicy chicken is the perfect combination of sweet, sour and salty. The tonkatsu was fine. The ube creme also deserves a shout out. Freshly made ube whip cream with ripe strawberries in a bun - - excellent! Portions are large. Location location location, that's because it's not really in Wicker Park as one thinks of it, even though this shows up as Wicker Park location on a Yelp search. Not the shop's fault obviously.

Would give this place 6 stars if I could Ordered the kfc chicken sandwich. It was crispy on the outside but nice and juicy on the inside. The sandwich had the perfect amount of sauce. The vegetable gyozas were great The ube sandwich was a great way to end splitting the kfc Service was great, everyone super nice. Worth trying and coming back !

Japanese Sandos are not easy to find in Chicago. So when Sandos street opened up I knew I had to visit. The inside of the restaurant has a cool funky vibe with art from local artists displayed. I got the ube cream sando and the KFC sando. The KFC sando is amazing, the chicken is crispy and juicy with a little kick from the Gojuchang sauce. The bread is super light and fluffy and the slaw cools everything down. They also don't skimp on the meat at all, you get a really healthy portion size for the price. In some cases ube flavored sweets can be really hit or miss often lacking enough ube flavor. The Ube cream sando doesn't have that problem at all! The ube flavor really comes through and is well complimented by the strawberries. The staff is more than happy to walk you through their menu and give recommendations.

Sando Street's Japanese Egg Sando is awesome. It tastes as good as the ones you find in Japan. Just enough mayo, a perfect egg salad and yummy soft bread, what's not to like? Katsu Sando was decent but the sauce made the bread soggy and the meat was a bit overcooked. Sweet Potato Chips were okay, they tasted similar to terra chips but had hardly any flavor. They're also conveniently on DoorDash!

I placed an online order from here. Pickup process was smooth with very friendly service. We ordered their Tonkatsu sandwich as well as their KFC sandwich. The Tonkatsu came with a panko crusted pork tenderloin, cabbage, katsu sauce, mild aioli all in between a shokupan. A Japanese milk bread made locally in the suburbs. The pork tenderloin was very tender and flavorful. The cabbage and sauces complemented this sandwich perfectly. But to be honest, the highlight of this sandwich was probably the bread. It was very soft, but dense. Such a perfect bread. The KFC sandwich used the same bread and it came with a double friend chicken thigh, gochujang sauce, pickled cucumbers, and aioli slaw. The chicken was perfectly fried. It had a nice crispy bite to it and very tender and juicy on the inside. Overall a really delicious and filling meal. Will definitely e returning to try some of their other options on the menu.

I think more accurately this would be a 4.5 star review, but I'm bumping it up to 5 because the staff was really nice and good vibes (my friends and I lost track of time while we were yapping away and Sando Street had technically closed but they didn't say anything even though they would have been very valid for politely asking us to leave). Also in general, the staff asked how the food was going and just seemed nice. Between our group, we ordered their seasonal field salad, tonkatsu bowl, matcha cream sando, ube cream sando, chilee pork belly sando, and the musubi sando. I would say the tonkatsu bowl was probably like a 3/5 - like it was decent but nothing amazing or worth going out of your way to get. The field salad was probably one of our group's favorite things ironically, probably five stars. I would say the matcha cream sando was my favorite sando and would describe that as 4.5 stars too - the cream was very light. I split halves with my friend so I'm not sure if I'd want two halves of the cream just because it ends up being a bit sweet, but I loved how light it was. The ube cream sando was similar, but I don't really think I tasted the ube flavor, it was more generally just light cream. I would just do the one if I was trying this place again and go for the matcha. The musubi and chilee pork belly sandos were yummy (maybe 4 stars?), but nothing I personally need to get again. My friend may have liked it more than me. Overall, I'd say we had a nice experience at Sando Street but I personally don't need to go again but think it's worth a visit. My friend also pointed out Phodega used to be in here, and I personally liked the way Sando Street used the space. It felt a lot less cramped than when I visited Phodega here in this location.

This is a must try! The fusion of Korean and Filipino is a hit - my friend and I tried the Tonkatsu and the OG Tamago for entrees and the limited edition Yuzu Mango crème. The sauces for the Tonkatsu were amazing the pork was so darn tender. Like it made no sense. You'd think it would be alot of bread but it wasn't bad at all - very soft and not overpowering. The OG Tamago is for all my egg lovers and egg salad connoisseurs. I enjoyed the first two bites however afterwards the spark was gone. The sandwiches did not skimp out on the filling so you won't feel hungry. And they come with a side of sweet potato chips. The Yuzu mango crème sandwich was the best. The Strawberries were so sweet. I'm not sure where they source them from but they should never stop.

We ordered: 1. Tonkatsu - Panko crusted pork tenderloin, sliced cabbage, katsu sauce, mild chili aioli 2. OG Tamago - Kewpie egg salad, soft boiled egg, furikake 3. Matcha Creme - House made whipped matcha cream with strawberries. 4. Popcorn Chicken - gochujang, kimchi aioli All the sandwiches were very tasty and well made. Great flavor and texture profile with not too many complicated ingredients. I was even impressed that the matcha cream was very matcha-y and strawberries were ripe. Popcorn Chicken needs to be crispier and bigger pieces to be juicier. Service was good, employee was very nice, and there's a decent amount of seating for small groups.
