Customer Reviews
Great place for a quick bite to eat in or for take out. Their onigiris are FRESH! Parking/Environment: There’s a dedicated parking lot. On a Sunday early afternoon, it didn’t seem too packed but we just parked in the 10 minute spots since we only ordered take out. There were high and low seating indoors and some outdoor patio seats. Food: Aside from their onigiris and hand rolls, they also sold Japanese snacks and drinks. We ordered Spam & Egg Musubi ($4.25), Salmon Yuzu Miso ($4), Spicy Lobster Shrimp ($5.50), and Spicy Tuna Mayo ($4). They were sooo good and hit the spot! Wish I ordered more.
I want to start by saying I really love their hand rolls. Their service is almost atrocious though. The people working at the cashier who take your order have actually been nice but the ones filling and calling out the order have been so consistently rude. Aside from being stingy with giving out soy sauce, for the 3rd time I’ve had to ask for utensils on a to go order. When I had to go back into the store after realizing they hadn’t given me utensils even though they asked and I said yes the guy at the station stopped stared at me and said it should be in the bag…guess what it wasn’t - he almost looked at my like I was lying. Would love to come back because I love the food but too many negative interactions.
I def recommend getting the 3 Handroll set for a filling lunch, very worth it as you get 3 handrolls (1 premium), your choice of sashimi, and edamame. I got the Spicy Eggplant Onigiri, Negi Toro Handroll, and Blue Crab Handroll. My favorites were the handrolls. I thought there was too much rice for the onigiri and it wasn’t spicy at all. The handrolls were pretty big and enjoyable. The restaurant is bright and clean.
Pretty nice spot here! We enjoyed the salmon handrolls, and salmon nigiri. There is a parking lot, and some street parking. Cool interior with plenty of seating. There is also about 4 outdoor tables. Kid and dog friendly outside. Salmon was tasty, and everything was fresh. We also got the eggplant ohnigiri. That was solid, but mostly rice… staff was nice, and it was a fun spot for a quick bite! The menu was a bit confusing; the combo seemed higher pricing than the items individually.
Delicious Onigiri Just so fantastic, totally worth it
