Once in a while I get a mad craving for Onigilly. It's easy, fast, affordable, and tasty. Each onigilly will run about $3-4, and two is enough to fill me up. Today I ordered 3 because I just could decide on 2 different fillings. I went with the snow crab, shiitake mushroom, and eggplant. My favorite was the mushroom which has a lot of umami flavor and is super savory. The other two were really delicious as well! I also added a side of tamago and the pickles. I like sweet tamago, so this fit the bill perfectly. The pickles on the other hand were not good. Def skip next time. This Onigilly is just pickup or delivery. I think it's a shared commercial kitchen with a few other eateries dedicated only for pickup/delivery. Tons of food delivery drivers lined up to pick up orders. I ordered and paid online and they communicated with via text. Super clear communication with directions for pick up. Parking is not impossible. I went at lunch and it was a bit crazy (read above- tons of drivers picking up food), with a lot of cars, not a lot of parking, and them being located at the end of street (i.e., one way dead end). But, if you wait a minute, some DoorDash guy is going to leave. All in all, I had a yummy lunch and I am super happy I got a location a bit closer to me.
