Reviews
Stopped by to pick up a few onigiri for a recent road trip. Premium onigiri spots seem to be popping up everywhere lately, and while I love the idea, the prices here made me hesitant. $11–$13 for a single onigiri is basically the price of a full rice bowl.
The toppings are “elevated” (chashu pork for the ramen-ish onigiri, for example), but I’m not convinced the format does them justice. Onigiri is meant to be quick, simple (and cheap) comfort food, and the portion here is roughly the size of a small rice bowl. The bigger issue is that these don’t hold up well. Plain onigiri can sit wrapped for hours, but with toppings like karaage, everything turned mushy pretty fast.
Overall, definitely better than the sub-$5 pre-packed versions you find at markets, but at this price point, I’m not sure I’d return.
The salmon avocado was pleasant but a but lacked in flavor (maybe because I told them not too spicy and they left out some ingredients) .
I also loved the yuzu ginger honey matcha, balanced sweetness, a bright ginger kick, and even tiny pieces of ginger that come through the straw. There’s limited seating and a short wait while everything’s prepared, but it’s absolutely worth it when your sandwich arrives warm and soft.
The salmon avocado was bland, no seasoning or salt at all.
When I asked for soy sauce to add some flavor, they said they don’t have soy sauce at all (?!).
The tuna ponzu avocado was better but they wanted to charge us for extra sauce (seriously?)
There’s also juat one small table and that’s it.
The food was delicious, I had the salmon avocado and the salmon and egg onigirazu as well as a hojicha latte. The onigirazu was freshly made and so filling. The hojicha was so fragrant and slightly sweet.
10/10 would come here again for lunch.
The beef and ginger sandwich is a real star. It’s amazing. I wish the filling went a bit further to the edges so that you don’t end on large bites of rice but, it’s amazing overall.
Great gluten free friendly option!
There’s a small table outside but don’t count on getting seating on a weekend.
