The Japanese Sando King of Portland - Street Food Icons

"I'm not just making sandwiches, I'm sharing my Japan" - what a legend

[@mcabros]

So dramatic. I keep dying children alive in a helicopter and I don't have no 8:15 of exposition about it.

[@Jon-br8co]

From a another japanese guys perspective, it's really just sandwiches.

[@moiraswife]

@@Jon-br8co and they're damn good looking ones at that

[@arhudson86]

This guy is so authentic. The real deal. Nothing but love and positive vibes.

[@marylandlax3]

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!

[@123arcadia]

A perfectionist !

[@chels3429]

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!!!

[@SouthernOregonOrgani]

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

[@chels3429]

@@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?

[@chels3429]

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!

[@ctook]

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!

[@Daveewill]

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.

[@Westcoastgs]

I would love to live next to him and food truck... 🤔 maybe not

[@parktronz5922]

What are your favorite food items there?

[@DiamondEyeMcGee]

I agree. Best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The black miso pork tonkatsu is my favorite

[@Illsayanything]

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!!

[@kronicdeath420]

@@parktronz5922 They're all really good. My favorite is the scotch egg katsu sando, but the pork and chicken katsu's are also fire!

[@bermei5187]

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 :(

This guy really understands the combination of great flavour and texture, two important elements for amazing food. What a legend

[@somefreshbread]

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.

[@bigboy6704]

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

[@Maatson_]

I can’t understand you. English must be your first language.

[@erininoue978]

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!

[@cyberleone00]

Goodluck on your journey!

You are brave

[@rattatouilletherat]

About time you made a video about this guy

[@MichaelFriebel]

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.

[@maynardchee1269]

Love it. I’m a fan! Keep up the good work and spread the love with that food you make.

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
