"Hands down best onigiri place in Sydney. Had to get a big takeout for a whole team and they had it done within seconds! Their range of onigiri options are phenomenal along with their drinks and karaage."

"I had ikura, tuna mayo, and mentaiko onigiri. As a Japanese, I can say it tastes super authentic. The rice itself is seasoned, not just the fillings so good! Perfect breakfast before a 13-hour trip to another city. Eating ikura made me so happy!"

"You can tell everything is high quality and how much they care, yet still everything is super cheap and convenient. :^) Love reading the posters telling you about their ingredients, their machines and their passion. You can feel the enthusiasm and the thought that goes into the business. I've had nothing else like it, everyone should try it at least once. Great place!"

"It's a cute place, but the food was pretty meh. The seasoning in the filling for both of my onigiri was just not good."

"Saw this place on tiktok and thought I would try it. The onigiri was a bit disappointing. The seaweed was already soggy as soon as our orders were ready. The rice to filling ratio was a little off and it was mostly rice. The cafe is cute and cosy"

"Quick and easy service very efficient. The store has kiosk system and the price is very reasonable and good food. I especially loved the craft yuzu coke. Will definitely comeback to try more"

"I ordered an onigiri and karaage set which was listed with prices starting from $10.4. It turned out that the $10.4 price was only for a few types of onigiri, 1 piece of karaage, and 1 drink or soup of your choice. If you want to order 2 karaage, an additional $1.50 is charged, and there's an extra charge of $0.5 to $1 for cold drinks or soup. I also ordered a single miso grilled salmon for $3.50. The total order came to around $17.75 for 3 onigiri, 2 karaage, and 1 strawberry lemonade. The onigiri was delicious, and the karaage was also good, but I didn't really like the drink because it left a slightly bitter aftertaste. Overall, I would rate the food 4 stars and give 5 stars for the service, comfortable atmosphere, and nice interior."

"If you want to be reminded of Japan and their convenient onigiri, karaage, soba etc, this is the place for you. You can tell alot of care has been taken in preparing and flavouring the quality ingredients. If you want a quick, delicious and wholesome snack then this is the place for you. Have tried the salmon onigiri, eggplant onigiri, duck onigiri and would have them all again. The karaage chicken was juicy and delicious as was the duck soba."
