Choo Sando Omakase

This is THE PLACE to go for takeout sushi. The fish tastes as fresh with good flavor. I appreciated the complimentary miso soup and homemade soy sauce too. There's a few tables inside to eat after you grab your food. The prices are also very reasonable for the high quality of the ingredients. Also shout out to this concept where everything is laid out with descriptions and prices so you know exactly what you're getting. Even better than a menu with photos.

THE BIG: Located in North Central Austin, right off of burnet road. This place used to be a table outside a church and now has evolved into a full blown brick and mortar. Plenty of parking outside in the parking lot.THE BLACK AND WHITE: One of our friends got lunch to go from Choo Sando and we had a feast for lunch! Unpacking the items looked great and beautifully presented. We got two lunch sushi boxes, two daily sushi box which had a variety of sushi pieces taht included blue fine tuna, salmon, hamachi, sea bream, and scallop. It tasted fresh and was so good. Also we got the mini chirashi don, which had a good assortment of sashimi on top of sushi rice. For the sandwiches, we got the pork cutlet katsu sando and it was nicely portioned out in 3 sections, which is the perfect ratio for a nice single bite.THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, damage done was around $120 for two lunch sushi boxes, a mini chirashi don, and a katsu sando. Delicious bites in all items and definitely a must try.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! There was a line at the door when we arrived at 11 on a Saturday but the line moves quick! Saw this place on TikTok and had to try it. ***It is a first come first serve basis. They restock some items but some are not (like the tamago sando I was soooo sad they were sold out. 30 mins in too insane). Toro plate was AMAZING, the quality of the fish and the attention to detail on everything on that plate was superb. All for $35 was a freaking steal. It came with a Togo soy sauce container which was cool and convenient + miso soup! We got the truffle katsu, unagi and lobster sando. The truffle katsu was by far our favorite. It had soooo much flavor and pouring the katsu sauce on top was A+. Their hours are short, but come at opening time to get the sushi box and sandos that you want!!

Pre-order is a must! Unless you wanna stand in line before they open to grab something... but why. Just preorder and CHOOse a time to pick it up. I would at least order a few days in advanced. They have limited orders per day. They have a small case in store that's ready grab but usually sells out within hours after opening.It's a locally owned restaurant with maybe 5 tables inside. We had the 10pcs sushi and seared sake. Everything was 10/10. Will be back to try the sandos!!

Highly recommend to come early to get all the options available! They open around 10:30 am and closes before evening time. They often run out of items when you come later. I love their fruit sandwich the most. I love all of them except the one with kiwi. The crème is so light with the milk break. I also like their sushi more than their Katsu. It usually comes with a miso soup. They're a little pricey but the they're delicious! The space is very small, so i recommend taking them to go and eat somewhere else.

Popped in here for a quick brunch sando before heading over to see the 2024 Count of Monte Cristo which was being shown at the Regal Cinema nearby.Choo crafts edibles stuffed between layers of bread, as well as flesh from the sea layered atop morsels of rice. They come packaged in wooden boxes with plastic lids, secured by rubber bands. Soy sauce is dispersed via individual droppers; clearly a tremendous amount of preparation goes into this culinary operation--quite a large variety available, in pretty large quantities daily.How large is a Sando? Imagine a square slice of bread cut into thirds. Each sando box contains exactly one thick contents worth of sandwich; of course there's no skimping on the filling here. The bread itself is slightly sweet.Service is expedient, friendly, and they pack everything to go for you, including stapling a paper bag.Seating inside is available for roughly 10 people. An additional counter seating is available outside.The display case is vibrant and colorful; staff come and actively adjust the current inventory to maintain that magic you get when waiting in line and deciding exactly what to get.Certain sandos and omakase boxes can only be pre-ordered. But generally they have a pretty large inventory of options, including variety packs of sandos.I'll be trying out their sushi in the future, after trying out each variant of sando they offer.

I stumbled onto this place by default!!Out of this world and into the next!! 'So many choices, each and every single one a unique masterpiece. 'Embarrassed to admit this was my first time eating Sandos... have seen them all over social media, magazines, reviews yet never encountered them until today. Service was so friendly and welcoming. I feel as though my Negi Toro was the BEST meal I have had, ever, in a 63yr lifetime. Seriously. I also got the dessert fried bread w/a citrus infused sauce that was truly made in heaven. My meal was an exceptional experience, and I loved it so much that I bought their traditional egg Sando home for dinner. Their sauces are superior.

Choo Sando is definitely a special and unique addition to the many culinary options we have in the Austin area. The sushi/sando options provided here are not only fresh and convenient, but packed with quality and flavor. All of the sando and sushi options we ordered were extremely enjoyable including the Spicy Chicken Sando, Roast Beef and Burrata, as well as all of the sushi boxes. It's very apparent that they know exactly what they're doing and treat their craft with much care and respect. Chef Choo and his staff have always been nothing but welcoming and hospitable each time we've made a visit to Choo Sando which makes it very easy for us to continue supporting their efforts and enjoying the food they provide.

Second time here and I got to Choo Sando extra early 30 mins before they opened at 10:30am. Luckily I was the first one there and then when it got closer to 10:30 there was a line of people behind me. When I got in there was all the variety to pick from. I got 4 items: 10Pcs Sushi Box- $34.00 Highly recommend the 10 pc Nigris! It was so fresh and delicious! I loved them all and it was made with so much attention to detail! Karai Don - $21.00 - second time getting this and it's as good as the first time I had it! You get a bag of seaweed paper to enjoy with your meal. Mini Chirashi Don- $39.00 - all of the sashimi was delicious. I wasn't too crazy about the uni, it was slightly bitter instead of creamy and sweet. You get a bag of seaweed paper to enjoy with your meal. Spicy Chicken Sando- $14.50 - it was good but I likely the pork katsu sando more. Chicken was a bit dry. It wasn't spicy at all. Quality is so consistent with this place and honestly I think the prices are fair compared to eating at other sushi establishment. I love the concept that I can just come early, grab and go. Miso soup is given complimentary with the sushi meals. Sando does not get miso soup complimentary. Do I recommend this place? EASY yes! The sushi is delicious and it's so fresh! Highly recommend this place and their sushi is so consistent with the quality! Made fresh every day and once they sell out then they close shop.

Was excited to try this place as I had seen it on social media, but was disappointed. All the sandos and sushi were overpriced. Thought the taste and quality of the ingredients would make up for it, but it didn't. Got the strawberry and kiwi sando. The bread was dense, not soft and fluffy and the cream filling was average. Definitely not worth it.
