EDIT: Disappointed that they no longer make riceballs (Onigiri). They’re replaced with fewer flavor selection of so called “musubi sando” (Onigirazu). Probably won’t return unless they serve what they used to make. Was surprised and excited to find a RICEBALL restaurant! They were everything I expect from good riceballs and so much more. Would definitely return for the unique fillings and flavors! I was slightly confused by the location at first though, it’s inside Kitchen United Mix which is this futuristic food court with only the order kiosks in the room. Attendants bring the food out to you, and there is no seating there so everything is for to-go. I got Kelp & Rayu, Mama Special, Spam & Tamago riceball combo and they were delish!
It’s delicious! I discovered it at the farmer’s market on Saturdays in Irvine. My favorite is the salmon, with the mild herby spice lightly sprinkled on the outside of the rice. Perfect.
Very tasty rice balls and great fillings. Wish they had more spots nearby.
