Texas’s Buzzy Japanese Sando Pop-Up Is Coming to New Orleans
A hugely popular sando pop-up hailing from Dallas, Texas is visiting New Orleans next week, serving the Japanese convenience store-inspired sandwich that’s become a hit in the US in recent years and an Instagram influencer favorite.
The pop-up requires preorders, and the system is very specific: Sandoitchi’s website opens up at 6 p.m. CST on Sunday, February 28, for a pickup to be scheduled at checkout for Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday (the local address in the French Quarter for pickup is provided at checkout). The same process repeats at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 7, for pickup that week. The menu won’t be available until Sunday, but prospective diners can expect chicken or pork katsu (a panko-breaded, fried cutlet), an egg-based sando, and a sweet, fruit-filled version.
Sandoitchi still plans to open a restaurant in Dallas, followed by Houston and Austin. A New Orleans pop-up called Yakuza House made its debut at Union Ramen late last year, serving a menu of sandos on milk bread from local home baker Banh’s Vi, with more pop-ups expected in the future.
