Third time trying this chain now at a different location and all in all still pretty good.
Again I went for the poke bowl which I find to be a great value and tastes good to boot.
Unironically their onigiris aren’t bad but their bowl is just a better bang for your buck most times.

Taste :1/5

We were first drawn in by the beautiful interior design and the concept the store advocates. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the expectations. The ingredients and overall taste felt more like frozen food from the supermarket rather than freshly prepared dishes.
The rice, in particular, was disappointing — it didn’t have the texture or flavor you’d expect from Japanese rice, and it was quite hard. I couldn’t even finish the set I ordered.
While the atmosphere is inviting, the food quality really needs improvement to match the appealing space and branding.

I ordered takeout from Onigilly since I’ve always wanted to try it! The onigiri were large and quite delicious (Though I personally prefer Tadaima onigiri). There were a wide variety of flavors to choose from as well, I personally picked the beef, salmon, and spam. The karage chicken portion was too small, I would hardly call the set meal a “bento”. Still, I am curious about the other toppings and will be back to try.

This place is so good and cheap (for downtown Palo Alto). It’s a great place to grab a quick, delicious bite! The onigiris are soft and flavorful, and the karaage chicken is perfectly crispy. I love the selection of flavors, and some of my favorites include the poke salmon, spam and miso beef. I did try the strawberry cream puffs and they were nothing special. Other than that, you really can’t go wrong 🙂

Delicious Japanese healthy delicacies. We loved that there were several options for vegetarian food. We got several flavors of Onigiri, a bowl and a cheese cake. The iced tea and Japanese style lemonade was great as well.

Good vegan options for onigiri and various side items. The set menus are a pretty good deal as well.
Got the wakame salad meal with two onigiri – tofu teriyaki and shiitake. The salad was very fresh, with lemon only as dressing. The tofu onigiri was fine, though on the sweeter end for my own preference. Liked the shiitake onigiri better, which was more flavorful. Overall appreciated how fresh the onigiri were and the very fast service.

Great place for a delicious, affordable, and healthy meal in downtown. The toppings are fresh and flavorful. Poke and fish row quality are good.

The food is so tasty and filling, just 2 onigilly for $10, and lunch/dinner is ready (I’m a girl though)! Very nice people working at the cafe, super fast service! I think the light in the cafe is a bit bright (not warm), which maybe makes it a bit harder to sit for a long time, I’m surprised there were not as many people sitting inside!

Lots of yummy choices and it’s made fast. There’s no soda but there are still lots of juice drink options. Their combo meals include miso soup.

Ordered a poke bowl, there was MOLD in the salad portion of the bowl…. Took this piece out, tore it apart and I can’t even hazard to guess what it is supposed to be? A ball of mold??? Absolutely foul. Is there no quality control? … I also spit out a fish bone….Threw up & tossed the rest, do not recommend & definitely won’t be back
