Absolutely loved my experience here. The sushi was incredibly fresh & beautifully presented - every piece felt like it was made with real care. The rolls were flavorful & well-balanced, not overloaded with rice like many other places. The staff were kind, attentive, & made great recommendations. The atmosphere was calm & welcoming, perfect for both a casual meal or a special night out. If you're a sushi lover, this spot is definitely worth visiting.

I had a fresh spicy Tuna from Onigiri Shop at a café earlier this year, & it was delicious.

In comparison, the onigiri at this location was a disaster. Perhaps at this particular hour, the staff were inexperienced, but what they served was borderline inedible.

I ordered the spicy salmon & was recommended the Ebi Tempura. Setting aside the presentation, which was a quickly wrapped ball of rice that didn't match the takeaway images, the taste, in my opinion is the most important, & it was lacking. The onigiri also fell apart while I was trying to eat it, which made the experience frustrating.

The spicy salmon filling itself was good, however, it was wrapped in the equivalent of three portions of rice. I had to remove the excess rice to make the meal enjoyable.

The Ebi Tempura was essentially a greasy mayo rice ball, with the same excessive amount of rice, & its presentation was also disappointing.

As I could have made two more onigiri with the leftover rice on my plate, I believe new workers would benefit from using an onigiri mold or something similar to learn the correct rice-to-filling ratio.

Overall, a thoroughly disappointing experience, & I'm unsure if I will return anytime soon.
