Autistic food lover
I would say as someone who can get overstimulated by really loud placed sando has done a lovely job of having that quite but chattery atmosphere. I will say there are times where they are packed and times where there’s only like 1 or 2 people there. I went when it was relatively quiet and I must say it was nice. I got the takoyaki and to be honest it’s one of my favorite foods and it can be hard to mess up, theres where good and enjoyable. There desserts were delicious as well! I got this red bean paste fish that tasted rather with a nice but not overwhelming sweetness. also got the Katsu chicken over rice which had a nice refreshing taste to it but the prices are not unreasonable but also a little bit up there for the food your getting. They also have this cool thing with there drinks where I got the tea and they put it in this glass bottle with a plastic soda lid that you can peel off! Honestly it’s really cute and is nice just to be there to relax. They have this button you press to call the server over so that’s also pretty good! The servers themselves are lovely but keep to themselves. It’s also a small place so huge parties and such wouldn’t fit there. Anyway, again, lovely food, lovely place. Had an amazing time!

Small and cute spot! Great for lunch or dinner. Centric area and really great staff. The food was delicious and good quantity served. From the Sakura Cosmo iced tea to the chicken katsu over rice. Everything was fantastic and well priced.

I came here for one of the sandos which originally drew me in but then I saw the rest of the menu. We’re in town for work so we wanted something a little more satisfying. We always go all out so don’t judge us bc we didn’t finish a single thing as the portion sizes were great. We got the okonomiyaki, tokoyaki, chicken karaage, curry gyudon as well as the okoyudon. Everything was so hot and amazing. The okonomiyaki was so soft and creamy on the inside and so crunchy on the outside my boyfriend was even surprised as to how much he enjoyed it. The tokoyaki was so tender I’ve definitely had some chewy pieces of octopus in some previous but this was so soft, tender and luscious. The curry gyudon was a first for me but I thought it was awesome. I did add a little of the spice that was on the table as it wasn’t spicy enough for me which really took it to the next level. The service was amazing as well, there was one guy working the whole front making all of the drinks and serving everyone and still didn’t miss a que. We did get a few tea drinks as well I got the mango with tapioca and my boyfriend got a black tea latte. Perfect sweetness and always love a little tapioca ball. As far as I could tell there was only one person in the back as well and everyone was crushing it because it was an amazing experience all around. I wish I lived close by so I could come here all the time. Definitely a hidden gem.

OBSESSED! Finally, Sando & dango only 10 min from work! And more, so much more
Discovered SECRET menu combinations!
Try asking for a booster Sando, but instead combine TAMAGO salad & the VEGGIE KAKIAGE (a fried fritter) for a sweet, savory, crispy egg sandwich treat!
Pair that with another secret: 1 cup of $5 curry (no rice, nothing else,) and then dip your sando or use a spoon to pour some of the sauce over it!

Amazing sandwiches! Melon soda was quite nice too. Vibe is great and can’t recommend more.

Enjoyed the food and milk tea since the ghost-kitchen stage of Sando, so happy to see them have a full restaurant now! The Jujutsu Kaisen artwork the owner drew on the blackboard is amazing. Personal favorite: curry gyu udon w/ onsen egg & karaage & their milk tea! The cream soda also pairs great with their sando. Will definitely keep ordering!

Delicious food and super cute atmosphere! The tofu katsu curry over rice and chicken katsu was fresh and tasty. I appreciate the vegetarian options. Our server was also very attentive and nice. I saw Ube milk tea on the menu so I’m curious to try that next. We’ll definitely be back!

I want to keep Sando Cafe as my little secret because there aren’t many tables, but this tiny restaurant deserves a ton of praise and attention.
Amazing all around – food, service, atmosphere. Liked it as soon as we walked in, but loved it as we walked out with our bellies full.
