I come here very often! I mostly only get the fresh salmon oni because thats my fav. Ive tried others though & they are also yum. Sometimes depending on who is constructing the onigiris some will have way too much rice & not enough filling which to me is a very bad sign because we all know we are here for the filling not the rice. Not to say that their rice isint delicious, its fresh & warm always. So are their ingredients, it doenst feel like the supermarket onis that are days old. I think concidering the size (massive) the price for an oni is quite good, but i would not pay more to be honest. I havnt had their drink but I have tried one once my friend got one & it was NOT the tea... too sweet not great matcha quality, so ever since I havnt gotten a drink. Maybe I'll make myself try one one day. Last thing, could be totally off, but the one time I got their cooked tuna oni it tasted very much like canned tuna, which i hope it was NOT

We did a takeout order for our holiday gathering & everyone loved the onigiri's. The ratio of protein to rice is perfect, they are flavorful & filling, & the ingredients are so fresh. Delivered on time & as per our order. Victoria was so helpful when placing our order. Thank you

What a fantastic discovery! This charming onigiri spot quickly became one of my favorite new finds. The rice balls are absolutely delicious - perfectly seasoned rice with fresh, flavorful fillings that hit the spot every time. The prices are incredibly reasonable, making it easy to try multiple varieties without breaking the bank.
The staff is genuinely friendly & welcoming, always happy to explain the different options or make recommendations. The atmosphere strikes just the right balance - cozy & inviting without being too casual or too formal. It's the kind of place where you can grab a quick, satisfying meal or settle in to enjoy the relaxed vibe.
If you're looking for authentic, well-made onigiri at great prices with excellent service, this is definitely worth seeking out. I'm already planning my next visit to work through more of their menu!

Quelle découverte fantastique ! Ce charmant endroit onigiri est rapidement devenu l'une de mes nouvelles trouvailles préférées. Les boulettes de riz sont absolument délicieuses - du riz parfaitement assaisonné avec des garnitures fraîches & savoureuses qui font mouche à chaque fois. Les prix sont incroyablement raisonnables, ce qui facilite l'essai de plusieurs variétés sans se ruiner.

Le personnel est vraiment sympathique & accueillant, toujours heureux d'expliquer les différentes options ou de faire des recommandations. L'atmosphère trouve juste le bon équilibre - confortable & accueillante sans être trop décontractée ou trop formelle. C'est le genre d'endroit où vous pouvez prendre un repas rapide & satisfaisant ou vous installer pour profiter de l'ambiance détendue.

Si vous êtes à la recherche d'onigiri authentique & bien fait à des prix avantageux avec un excellent service, cela vaut vraiment la peine d'être recherché. Je planifie déjà ma prochaine visite pour travailler sur plus de leur menu !

Great Onigiris! We had ordered a combo of two onigiris in which I had tried the Spicy Korean Chicken & the classic Tuna Mayo & the quantity of the filling did not disappoint! The flavor profile of the onigiris we chose was a great combo! We also had the mini ramen on the side & the broth is most delicious! Because it's summer, I had added an order of the match yuzu dri k & it was super refreshing!

I love how close the store is to where we had stayed but parking can be tricky if you come here after 9am as it gets busy pretty fast on the street (secure your spot!).

A definite must try in town!
