Taiki Nakajima left his family’s restaurant in Japan in search of more inspiration. After traveling through places like Italy and India, he found himself in Portland, Oregon. There, he brought Japan to the Pacific Northwest with his Japanese sandos - composed sandwiches made with fluffy bread, with fillings like egg salad and katsu chicken.

Taiki is my boy!!! I see him all the time here in Portland. He is so friendly and I became a regular sometime last year before they moved locations. I already had a love for Japanese egg salad, but he made it 100X stronger. I would come here 3 times a week. Sometimes get two sandwiches at once! I love the miso katsu chicken and the chicken nanban. So amazing. Much love Taiki and Tokyo Sando!

But when I took a bite out of my Ebi Sando, by god a smile just broke out across my face and I immediately knew the wait was more than worth it.
