Had the unagi and spicy shrimp onigiri + chicken karage. The taste is pretty good, but the nori on the onigiri was soggy to the point of being stretchy.

Super yummy! It's a nice little place for lunch. There's a good variety of meat and vegetarian onigiri. The portions may not look like it but it really fills you up. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes Takeout: Yes Delivery: Yes … More

If you’ve ever had really good onigiri, you know the rice they use here is pretty lacking. The grains are low quality with no chew and basically flavorless. The chicken karaage is solid though. Well seasoned and crispy. The topics in the onigiri are fine but nothing to write home about.
