So glad they survived!! The portions are a bit small if you're a big eater (it's okay, just pick up an onigiri) but so excited to still have an onigiri that was close to the ones found in Japan. The filling was generous within the rice balls and the rice had a wonderful texture. My favourite was the cajun shrimp as it has pieces of quality shrimp hidden away inside! The poke bowl ingredients are fresh and the bento boxes offer a nice selection of sides and teriyaki sauce isn't too sweet which I appreciated. You can tell love and quality have gone into this food.. now I just wish it wasn't across town from my office!

The Bentos are a great size and combination. The rice balls are nice for a quick but filling lunch and the poke bowls are colorful and light.
I am a regular at Onigiri Japan. The poke is always delicious and the onigiri makes for a savoury treat. Onigiri Japan’s team offers exemplary service that is quick, professional and kind. I highly recommend Onigiri Japan.
Run by a lovely Korean couple.Friendly and great service, however, I am not a big fan of their onigiris because they make them with vinegared rice (aka sumeshi).In Japan, onigiris are made with rice that are just lightly salted. Vinegared rice is only used for sushi (nigiri, inari, chirashi, etc.).They have poke bowls on their menu, so that might be the reason why they use vinagared rice for their onigiris, just for convenience's sake.For me, it was a little disappointing as I was expecting something more authentic.Also, I think the onigiris are overpriced considering the small portions, but the other things on the menu seemed fairly priced.
I was craving onigiri and heard about this place so I had to visit. It hurt my heart to see this beautiful space empty due to the current situation, but this is about the food. I was skeptical when I saw the size of the onigiri, but soon came to appreciate the fact that you can eat 3 or 4 of them with a side and a drink and have a good lunch. The rice to filling ratio is perfect. The seasoning is spot on, and the flavour selection is pretty good.If you don't like onigiri, they also have donburi, udon, and poké bowls.The staff is super nice, and again, a clean and beautiful space. If you're downtown, please support and visit.
I hope this place can open their second branch or something. It shouldn’t be only in an office building. Good price and taste! I will recommend to my friends.
Had the Chicken Teriyaki Don. And it was pretty great and well balanced. Not too much rice or chicken. Everything just felt liked it came together really well.
