This guy just seems like a really chill hard working chef who’s passionate about his cultures food, I’m glad he wants to share all of this amazing cuisine, looks so damn good!
I live in Portland, and have had his sando's countless times. I seek his sando's out more than any other food cart. He deserves all the best, he really does share his Japan, you can taste it! Well done Taiki!!!
Dp you know when they will open up again? iv been in portland for a year and some change now and i would LOVE to try this place. google maps says its temporary closed tho
I can't wait for them to open either! I have been craving his sandos for a little while now! If I notice him open, I will write you a message here, to let you know! I can't wait for you to try one!
This food truck is my favorite, every time I’m in portland this is a spot I have to stop by!! Loved seeing the behind the scenes and learning about the owner’s story. Let me tell y’all these sandwiches are the BEST and you can taste the soul put into those bad boys.
The way he acted when he talked about people visiting his food truck from out of town was about the most wholesome thing in the world. Keep this guy in business.. he needs a full blown restaurant!!
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!
The woman at 5:30 is the sweetest, kindest person I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. RIP to a legendary sando. If they ever come back, I'll be first in line.
I love the way he talks. everything he says is exactly what he means. I guess when English isn't your first language you have to think more about what you say and it leads to better results
Oishi! My daughter and I visited the University of Portland over the weekend and this was our #1 stop. We had the Tokyo teriyaki egg sando (a.k.a. Teri tama sando) and Miso pork katsu sando. They were absolutely amazing!!!Taiki Nakajima and the young lady who took our order were so incredibly genuine, and a pleasure to talk to. We’re hooked.
@@Cyyhjiyffree really good!! I got an egg salad sando, potatoes salad and the soup they had. Everything was fire!! I would recommend placing an order online instead of showing up.
Omg the best thing I’ve ever ate! I’m in Seattle and will plan trips to Portland just so I can go get the pork katsu! If you are ever in Portland pleaseeeee go!
I like how you put some focus on Tokyo Sando's Instagram. I was wondering how you find all of these food vendors, but now I understand that social media probably plays a significant role in that
Bruh, that scary kid photo from the scary movie at 3:12 made me trip put, though I was seeing shit and rewing it but he must have it in his food truck 🚚 had me shitting bricks for a second
Just moved to Portland from San José, CA. I must say the food out here is FANTASTIC. I wouldn’t be surprised that these sandwiches are BOMB. It’s really hard to find crappy food here.
Sure, they'll try and burn the Federal courthouse to the ground, fight with the police and Federal troops every night, and riot and loot the downtown... but the food trucks?. Amazing!!!!!😝👏
@@bachtomin213 yeah, none of those things are related. Congrats on the most unnecessary comment. Also, anyone who fights the police nightly deserves the best food. 😊
If I ever get to go back to Portland, first Tokyo Sando, then Blue Star Donuts. I've done the 12 hour days working for family, good on him for traveling.
@@DannyOVideos Nothing is wrong with Portland. It's a fun city. The people hating on Portland just don't like the politics and talk smack because they have nothing else to do with their miserable lives.
This guy is closing in December and moving back to Japan! Give this man as much support as possible before he leaves! EDIT: they’re closed :( gonna miss this legend EDIT EDIT: HES BACK!!!
I like to try this food. When I was at the U of O I met lots of students from all over the wold and got the chance to try their foods. Food and Culture!!!
YES!! We were in Portland over the summer for a couple days during vacations and randomly found this food truck. We ate there twice in the sapn I'd two days it was so good. The Miso Tofu Sando is literally one of the best tasting things I've ever eaten. This man is amazing!!
I remember I went on one of the first days it was open, super long line. Waited even longer than I thought I was going to, hangry and pissed AF by the time I got to the window and ordered. 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.
I went here a month a go and let me tell you, it is even better than it looks. It was 100% the best sandwiches I had and some of the best food I've had in my life. They fucking kill it!
My favorite part is how Munchies doesn't link to the website of the place they're supporting, or even so much as mention its name in either the title or the video description.
"I'm not just making sandwiches, I'm sharing my Japan" - what a legend
So dramatic. I keep dying children alive in a helicopter and I don't have no 8:15 of exposition about it.
@@mcabros you are dramatic, you’re just mad you get no glory.
@@mcabros cool…. This is a cooking channel. Maybe go complain to a news broadcaster or something.
From a another japanese guys perspective, it's really just sandwiches.
@@Jon-br8co and they're damn good looking ones at that
This guy just seems like a really chill hard working chef who’s passionate about his cultures food, I’m glad he wants to share all of this amazing cuisine, looks so damn good!
A perfectionist !
This guy is so authentic. The real deal. Nothing but love and positive vibes.
I live in Portland, and have had his sando's countless times. I seek his sando's out more than any other food cart. He deserves all the best, he really does share his Japan, you can taste it! Well done Taiki!!!
Dp you know when they will open up again? iv been in portland for a year and some change now and i would LOVE to try this place. google maps says its temporary closed tho
@@SouthernOregonOrgani I believe he is home in Japan visiting, when he comes back I think at the end of the month he will be open again?
I can't wait for them to open either! I have been craving his sandos for a little while now! If I notice him open, I will write you a message here, to let you know! I can't wait for you to try one!

I would love to live next to him and food truck... 🤔 maybe not
What are your favorite food items there?
I agree. Best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The black miso pork tonkatsu is my favorite
The way he acted when he talked about people visiting his food truck from out of town was about the most wholesome thing in the world. Keep this guy in business.. he needs a full blown restaurant!!
@@parktronz5922 They're all really good. My favorite is the scotch egg katsu sando, but the pork and chicken katsu's are also fire!
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!

This guy really understands the combination of great flavour and texture, two important elements for amazing food. What a legend
The woman at 5:30 is the sweetest, kindest person I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. RIP to a legendary sando. If they ever come back, I'll be first in line.
This guy's food truck has been broken into so many times by thieves, I'm surprised he didn't mention it. Good for him for staying positive.
wow. that’s really disappointing :(
Dang :(
Insurance fraud mate
Cost of theft was Under $1000 so it's not a crime in Portland
@@tanthaman say it.
Moving to Portland from Tokyo in a few months, and wow I am so happy to see that there is a sando cart there now!! Can't wait to try!
Goodluck on your journey!
You are brave
I love the way he talks. everything he says is exactly what he means. I guess when English isn't your first language you have to think more about what you say and it leads to better results
I can’t understand you. English must be your first language.
This was honestly the most wholesome, kind warm video I’ve ever seen on Vice I loved it
Oishi! My daughter and I visited the University of Portland over the weekend and this was our #1 stop. We had the Tokyo teriyaki egg sando (a.k.a. Teri tama sando) and Miso pork katsu sando.

this is my favorite food cart in portland 10/10 would recommend to anyone who likes sandwiches
I'm literally on vacation in portland while watching this. I'm checking this spot out today forsure!! Gotta support small businesses!!! 🖖🏿
How was it?!
@@Cyyhjiyffree really good!! I got an egg salad sando, potatoes salad and the soup they had. Everything was fire!! I would recommend placing an order online instead of showing up.

Omg the best thing I’ve ever ate! I’m in Seattle and will plan trips to Portland just so I can go get the pork katsu! If you are ever in Portland pleaseeeee go!
What does that consist of
I like how you put some focus on Tokyo Sando's Instagram. I was wondering how you find all of these food vendors, but now I understand that social media probably plays a significant role in that
Bruh, that scary kid photo from the scary movie at 3:12 made me trip put, though I was seeing shit and rewing it but he must have it in his food truck 🚚 had me shitting bricks for a second
5:35 warmed my soul
This is why I love living in Portland! So many cool unique spots!
Woah - I did not expect to encounter somewhere I've actually been on here! Got the curry egg sando when I was there - excellent
Yes! My city! I mean this is really the best Sando I've had in Oregon.
I was wondering why it was so busy today! Good for them they deserve all the love and exposure! I love Tokyo sando 🥺🤟🏽💙
love this dude and what’s he’s doing . the fact that he’s trying to learn english and bring his culture to us is hella cool
Being an ambassador of Japanese culinary culture is more than an accomplishment a globetrotter can achieve. Yum.
Congratulations to you, for finding what you know and enjoy and giving to your community.
Thank you for showing this street food.
I tried it on August 19 of this year 2021, it is worth the visit.
Just had one today wonderful experience!! So much talent 🫶🏼
Great stuff. More power 👊🏽
I live in Portland, definitely going to try this place sometime soon
Damn those sandos look amazing! If I ever find myself in Portland, this is on my list for sure
Just moved to Portland from San José, CA. I must say the food out here is FANTASTIC. I wouldn’t be surprised that these sandwiches are BOMB. It’s really hard to find crappy food here.
Sure, they'll try and burn the Federal courthouse to the ground, fight with the police and Federal troops every night, and riot and loot the downtown... but the food trucks?. Amazing!!!!!😝👏
@@bachtomin213 but the food is good tho regardless of the rioting
@@bachtomin213 yeah, none of those things are related. Congrats on the most unnecessary comment. Also, anyone who fights the police nightly deserves the best food. 😊
You gotta go. For real. Try their specials...but go early. They always sell out. Their last one was a scotch egg, but with gyoza filling. Hnnngg.
Miss having them at the PSU campus
It’s not that much farther now lol
@@regisphilim5461 Where is it at now?
I live in portland! Can't wait to order some food here and say what up to this awesome guy :)
It takes a lot of time and patience to achieve something precious.
One of my favorite PDX food trucks! Thanks for showcasing this awesome business!
I've had their sandwiches, they are definitely worth it. So delicious!!
If I ever get to go back to Portland, first Tokyo Sando, then Blue Star Donuts. I've done the 12 hour days working for family, good on him for traveling.
Well I think you have a really good attitude towards your business and making sandos is truly cool in my book
I’m from Portland and I got to school at Portland, I’m def gonna go here tomorrow, looks awesome lol
Also, me and my team painted that mural(the girl on the back) few years back lol….
Should come to Portland I live on the east side of Oregon
Food looks good
"Should come to Portland" said no one ever…
@@stoney-wan whats wrong with Portland? Genuinely curious
@@DannyOVideos Nothing is wrong with Portland. It's a fun city. The people hating on Portland just don't like the politics and talk smack because they have nothing else to do with their miserable lives.
@MuseyR nailed it. @Harry Pa this food truck is incredible, and we'd love for you to visit
Hello people who haven't had breakfast yet, greetings from Mexico!

I’ve been wanting to try this place our for a minute!!! Definitely going there tomorrow.
I've learned from Munchies that Portland has an absolutely mouth watering food truck scene
This place is GREAT seriously recommended to y’all 😋👍
I like to try this food. When I was at the U of O I met lots of students from all over the wold and got the chance to try their foods. Food and Culture!!!

Dope to see people who are passionate about there food succeed
Zamn, that chicken sando is lit
I’ve lived in Portland my whole life. How have I never heard of this cart!? I will have to fix this immediately.
He's soooo cute and sweet and his sammies look DANK. I love him
I remember I went on one of the first days it was open, super long line. Waited even longer than I thought I was going to, hangry and pissed AF by the time I got to the window and ordered.

Definitely stopping here in two weeks !

I love this. Next time im in Portland I will seek him out. looks so good.
I was here a couple months ago, he made the best sandwich I’ve ever had.

HE'S KILLIN' IT!!!!
Love it, Portland is great
Very clever! Japanese sandwiches are criminally under rated! They taste amazing
