Hidden inside the beloved poke spot Let’s Poke in the Heights, you’ll now find some of Houston’s best new Japanese sandos—thanks to their latest addition, Sando Satori. Known for their fresh poke bowls and house-made sauces, the team has expanded their menu with a lineup of authentic Japanese sandwiches that are already making waves.

Each sando is made with soft, pillowy Japanese milk bread and filled with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Options include egg sandos, ebi (shrimp) katsu, fruit sandos, and more, but the standout for us was the chicken katsu. Perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it’s the kind of sandwich that’s simple but unforgettable.

If you’re in the mood for something sweet, the strawberry sando is a must-try. It’s made with thick slices of fresh strawberries and lightly sweetened cream that’s rich without being heavy—an ideal balance of flavor and texture.

To round out your meal, grab one of their new drinks: the matcha latte is smooth and earthy, while the Vietnamese coffee packs the perfect punch of sweetness and caffeine.

With its creative menu and focus on quality, Sando Satori brings a little slice of Japan to the Heights in the most delicious way. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or an afternoon pick-me-up, this hidden gem is worth seeking out.
