Which one did you prefer? Comment below 😀

[@tancreddehauteville764]

I loved both the Italian and the Japanese! 😄 But the Japanese 'doorstoppers' are probably better value if you want a filling meal.

[@959panigale]

Most definitely shokupan looks fabulous amazing and thoroughly decent would keep you firing on all cylinders for hours

[@anthonyrickard5753]

The grilled pork looks best, yummy.

[@nocturna1964]

Greetings from Southern Calif! Regarding the Japanese Katsu Sando: You got a very authentic sando! As for the bread, the restaurant's name is also the name of the bread. Shokupan is the traditional Japanese Milk Bread. Any sandwich made with fresh Shokupan is a delightful dine! There's one other traditional Japanese Bread you should seek out (Warning, sooo good, you will curse the day you discovered it) Boloniya Bread. Almost like croissant in loaf form, always sliced thick, it makes the most sinful French Toast (Translation: Eggy bread for the Brits reading this) for brekkie!

[@johnwelbourn3811]

What a great idea for a video, this channel is getting pretty close to the top of my fav KZbin channel list. All the sandwiches looked great, but I baulk at paying £10 plus for a buttie, probably just an age thing

[@wendybrown5935]

I'm the same, I really enjoy these vids. We had a chicken club sandwich at a local trendy restaurant and it was 10 quid, bit of a bargain compared to the rest of the menu! Living in Kent is not cheap😆

[@anthonyrickard5753]

You're right, this channel rules!!

[@Bessie66]

Brilliant video - Thankyou

[@user-wv8cs4si4n]

I really enjoyed this particular vlog as it was different, nice to see a change. Sandwiches are difficult to actually get right, but the bread has to be perfect with the right balance of fillings. I wasn’t sure about the ingredients in the Bahn Mi, my husband used to have them a lot but would definitely not have eaten one if it had fish sauce in it.

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

great idea to taste and compare different sandwiches. I suppose round about a christmas you could compare turkey dinners from various places? just a suggestion

[@stevebriggs2645]

Another great review.Very interesting and a bit different which is good 👍. The most important part of a sandwich to me is the quality of the bread and the Vietnamese offering looked most appetising to me.

[@everydayimeating3407]

They were all great breads 😋

[@jackcampbell5619]

Another Everyday I'm Eating banger! Thanks for the upload as always. Katsu sandwich is different for sure but looked delicious. Would you ever consider doing a 24 hours in Bristol video? I could recommend you some fantastic places to eat

[@everydayimeating3407]

I would for sure do one in Bristol, maybe in the future some time

[@martindunstan8043]

Wow, the Italian one looked delicious and I thought that'll be the one for me especially when you then said 'now a Japanese sandwich' my ignorant thought process was along the lines of this will be too weird and a bit raw fishy for me🤣then you opened that box to show beautifully stacked chicken sandwiches with crisp fresh ingredients, that was simply stunning(to me anyway). I didn't think much of the pork ball sub though so definitely the Japanese box. A great review that opened my eyes to what a Japanese sandwich can be like, cheers✌️

[@wendybrown5935]

Oh my goodness, so glad I'm now sitting in bed with a sandwich and packet of cheetos to eat while I'm watching this😆absolutely rubbish weather out there so you bring cheer inside with your fab vids. Really like the format.

[@DJDonnelly]

First one looks fancier

[@enzodisciullo2557]

I loves me a sandwich, the Japanese one looked like a work of art when you opened it up. No wonder it tasted so good 😋

[@everydayimeating3407]

The presentation was great, it just makes you want to eat it

[@edsteenhorst6484]

I agree with your choice.

[@Islandicus]

All those sandwiches looked delicious. The key is freshly baked bread. There are all types of fillings for each one, whether Italian, Japanese or Vietnamese, so the possibilities are endless. I love Vietnamese banh mi and usually you get not just the filling but also extra ingedients in bowls that you can add. However, I can't decide which was best unless I tried all three for myself!

[@Xhenix]

Haha I love this concept.

[@rationalbacon5872]

The herb on top is rosemary

[@garrick43]

That Katsu sandwich did look awesome to be fair. I have had some excellent Bahn Mis in a small chain called Bahn Mi Keu in London though. I'm gonna have to stop watching your vlogs on an empty stomach!😋

[@everydayimeating3407]

Theres a lot of flavour packed into banh mi but it just looks like a regular baguette

[@wendybrown5935]

I always have a packet of cheetos to hand for such occasions. Thankfully low in calories!

[@asc.445]

I love your channel. Its great to see a Yorkshire (???) lad doing food reviews, I hope you can get over to the US to give them your unique style review.

[@delphihaze1317]

Those sandwiches looked amazing in the Italian place. The focaccia looked so lovely. I love the combination of the olive oil,herbs, and texture of Focaccia. I don't think I could eat all of the Katsu sandwich, but it looked so delicious all the same.

[@everydayimeating3407]

I think I should go back and try out the desserts

[@LifeofBrad1]

I actually didn't mind how the last one looked. Looked more homemade rather than trying to look fancy. I've only tried a banh mi once 11 years ago in London and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It was just from one of those Eat places though, so it wasn't exactly authentic. I need to get one from a proper Vietnamese restaurant at some point. I love Southeast Asian cuisine.

[@959panigale]

Definitely the shokupan looked amazing plenty of fresh filling would set you up for the day hands down

[@everydayimeating3407]

It was for sure a big sandwich, with a lot of filling too

[@Gentleman-Of-Culture]

Always enjoy your uploads❤

[@everydayimeating3407]

Thanks

The Japanese chicken sandwich looked the best by far. Brilliant review

[@everydayimeating3407]

It was a delicious sandwich, I'll for sure be getting it again

[@septembervirgo3723]

The Japanese sandwich looked amazing! That would be my choice. Loving your video’s💜

[@everydayimeating3407]

It was so good, and the bread too 😋

[@delphihaze1317]

Totally agree; the Japanese sandwich looked so good. Love how happy you look whenever you do the combo bites during meals,as well. The sandwich is the ultimate combo bite.

[@iamtheeggman1986]

They all look amazing 🤤 I'm gonna go with the 2nd one

[@everydayimeating3407]

The were all great I have to say

[@paulinegiles5757]

Hello, EIE The Katsu looked great. Presented well and very tempting. I did like the look of the foccacia, but 2nd place for me. Not so keen on the appearance of the Bahn mi. Thanks for a great vlog 😊😊

[@GaryYork-tk2ow]

Good video. Those all looked delicious, this gives me some new places to try when I'm in Leeds. Great job. 👍

[@everydayimeating3407]

THey're all worth trying for sure

[@anthonyrickard5753]

My favourite sandwich is a cheese and pickle! Yummy.

[@everydayimeating3407]

I should have included it in this list lol

[@JohnJones-wo1bc]

VietManese? I was laughing so hard, I almost forgot how amazing a bahn mi sandwich is!

[@everydayimeating3407]

Thanks 😀

[@wilfamos7314]

Honestly, so very deserved. Your reviews are great viewing. Not sure why, but I'm addicted to the format. I would love it if you tried different foods. Eg two Indian places, or Chinese perhaps. That said, maybe it's because you go to places we can all get to. Either way, LEGEND 🙂@@everydayimeating3407

[@vaunmalone3064]

@Everyday I'm eating one of my favourite reviewers! Happy Christmas 😃

[@everydayimeating3407]

Happy Christmas! Thanks for watching my videos 😀

[@chaatman5754]

They all look well-made, authentic, and tasty. A lot of care has gone into each ingredient making each finished sandwich perfect. I'd eat the lot, but would need a few days between each one as I can't eat a lot of bread without it having an adverse effect on me

[@everydayimeating3407]

I had them all on the same day lol 😋

[@mattysowls]

Another great review mate

[@everydayimeating3407]

Thanks

[@Manos-de-Piedra]

Thanks Matty

I agree with you the Japanese sandwich looked awesome.

It was so tasty!

I love a caprese sandwich with prosciutto

Italian cured meats are great 😋

[@christinewallis4631]

Strange to see you starting the meal with a combo-bite!!

[@everydayimeating3407]

Hahaha I ate in reverse for this one lol

[@juliemcgarty4764]

All the sandwiches looked really nice but the Japanese one was definitely the better one

[@everydayimeating3407]

I agree!

[@Thorpeman]

Not a fan of Japanese food (normally) I end up eating fast food whenever I’ve been there but that sandwich looked fantastic

[@everydayimeating3407]

You need to try out the Katsu sandwich

[@stephenav3986]

For me the Japanese one wins the day. I’m so astonished by the prices…..I’m in Vietnam and a bánh mi costs 70p with all the meats plus pate etc. But I normally eat a bánh mì with a soup either crab and egg or a meat/ vegetable one, together they taste good. A different type of video but enjoyable.

[@beowulf1312]

I think the respective Italian and Japanese sandwiches aim to satisfy different appetites. The Italian is for a lighter, less demanding appetite. The Japanese was for someone who was really hungry. The Vietnamese aims at this latter appetite, too. I have had much better looking Vietnamese sandwiches. This one had no lettuce or other veg. A weak example. So I think the Italian and the Japanese are best depending on your appetite.

[@christianboutell7112]

Sandwich number one won it for me,but all three looked absolutely delicious. 👍💯💥

[@everydayimeating3407]

They were all really good to be fair

[@cazyaz523]

I had the Pollo yesterday at that LA Bottega - it was gorgeous. Really tasty 😋

[@everydayimeating3407]

I need to go back and try out more of their food, especially the desserts

[@cazyaz523]

@@everydayimeating3407 I didn’t have time for a dessert. But they did look divine. My friend had the Salami Focaccia and really enjoyed it. I’ll go back there. I’ll also give the Japanese place a go I think as that Aldi looked yummy.

[@steventaylor6934]

Japanese for me too mate thanks for another great video 🎉🎉

[@everydayimeating3407]

Thanks 😀

[@margaretmaskell9985]

The Italian sandwich looked delicious. If I lived nearby I would be there everyday as the counter selection looked amazing.

[@everydayimeating3407]

The selection they have is amazing, I really wanted to try the desserts too

[@Manos-de-Piedra]

It’s not cheap though Margaret

[@nneichan9353]

the bread is always important! I strongly prefer sourdough breads. I also must have mayo and mustard, which weren't on any of the sandwiches you had? did I miss my favorite condiments?

[@dsh1-2023]

The katsu sandwich looked superb and I liked the look of the latte too. I think the Italian sandwich could have been great if they were more generous with the filling. Compare these to that god awful Morrisons pie!!! Great video

[@everydayimeating3407]

I would have any of these over the pie, thats for sure

[@angeadventures2459]

The first sandwich looks nice but the only downside is the foiaccha looks dry £9 I would say is a tad on the dear side 2nd location sandwich didn’t look as appealing but I would be more than likey eat all of this meal and the price for.

[@alasdaircampbell1863]

👍

[@r7.a117]

Sandwich 2/ I had similar and it came with pickled ginger 🫚 which was my favorite……

[@everydayimeating3407]

Pickled ginger would have been a good side to have

[@geoffreymcdonnell9869]

The Japanese chicken sandwhich either had a pink sliced side of dicon radish or pickled ginger! First two for me as the 3rd one did not appeal to me.They all looked a pretty substancial feed.

[@nigel8499]

Personally I think all Vietnamese 'Bánh mì' should contain a layer of *Pate*

[@everydayimeating3407]

I need to try out more versions to compare

[@patricksullivan2261]

It didn't look that big on your plate but once you picked it up you could see that it was a real good sized sandwich there. My big complaint about the Italian sandwich is that you didn't get much meat with it. It looked like very tasty salami, but so thin you could probably see thru it if you held it up to the lamp. I might lean a bit more to the third sandwich, I'm a big fan of Vietnamese food, but the Japanese sandwich looked amazing. I'll go with your call since you actually got to taste them.

[@everydayimeating3407]

They were all great, but the Japanese one was just a bit better

[@marksmith3469]

Did you eat all of them sandwiches in one day lol I liked the second one iam laying off bread trying to loose some weight

[@everydayimeating3407]

I did eat them all in one day. I was stuffed afterwards lol

[@edenshage]

sandwich 2

[@everydayimeating3407]

It was a good one!

[@larhumba4233]

They all looked tasty, but the Japanese win on value for money and quantity. It looked more filling than a single piece of Foccacia for 9 quid.

[@everydayimeating3407]

It was the biggest and had the most meat too

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

I think the second one won it

[@everydayimeating3407]

It was my favourite too 😋

[@alanthomson1227]

Italian looked great .Japanese looked equally good , wow the Vietnamese sounded amazing , so impressed that Vietnam have embraced French influence and don’t bear any grudge given the brutal colonisation

[@Dinki-Di]

You were very unlucky with that banh mi. It was definitely sub par. Hope you manage to find a better Vietnamese restaurant that does a more authentic job. Here in Australia the banh mis are amazing!

[@everydayimeating3407]

I need to visit sometime

[@earlbee3196]

I like Italian the Italian sandwich, However, I’ll take your word for it. Japanese is the winner 🥇🕶️🏆 ✌🏻🧑🏻‍🦱✌🏻

[@everydayimeating3407]

They were all great sandwiches but the Japanese one just took it

[@bigwidebolan3071]

Hi Mr Eating please tell me you ate all 3 sandwiches in one day lol

[@everydayimeating3407]

I did 😋

[@edwardhinton1615]

Not much for 9 quid the first one. The Japanese one looked delicious and actually worth the 11 quid. Third one doesn't look worth the money.

[@susanreid9857]

Number 2 .I thought the 1st one was a blt lol

[@everydayimeating3407]

It was salami, cheese and tomato which would make it an SCT lol

[@susanreid9857]

@@everydayimeating3407 haha

[@davidsworld5837]

The 1st one looks very small it you look at the amount of filling for what you are paying. 1st one. £9.25 with drink 2nd one £11.20 and 3rd was £9.99 the 2nd one looks so much bigger the bread is more like a cake, the chicken is a more expensive item. the added pickle looked more like red onion and it looked better in its box. it would have been good to breakdown the sandwich and drink. since I can not see each drink being the same price the third one looked like a subway with out any salad. it look not full. the balls looked cut in half too.

[@keving331]

Please assure us you didn’t eat all three meals on the same day? 😂😂😂

[@everydayimeating3407]

I did lol

[@suereeves5994]

Oh, dear, didn't like the look of any. The last one looked bad, the first one they left the stalk in the tomato, so by default number 2

[@enneth8435]

not enough meat on that first one

[@davidsworld5837]

there was not really that much more meat in the 3rd one. its almost like a subway but less salad and more money. but yes the 1st one for what you are paying was more bread than content. if you are going to be paying that much you want it full.
