First time trying onigiri. My girlfriend and I tried the spicy mayo salmon and sea urchin and egg yolk. Both were pretty tasty, I only wish there was a bit more of the filling as some bites had only rice and sea weed in them. Other than that, both the onigiri were very nice and at a very cheap price point. Recommend trying for anyone visiting Pacific mall, I know I’ll come again.

great onigiri for a fair price. i tried the spicy salmon mayo, which was a tasty classic combination. i also tried the sea urchin with salted egg yolk, which was my first time trying sea urchin. the salted egg yolk was rich and creamy, but it kind of blended into the sea urchin and they were indistinguishable from one another. still very tasty though

Absolutely peak tasting onigiri. There was a line to get them though so maybe assume it will take some time to buy. After we bought ours they also closed up shop. The onigir themselves came quick after order and were super tasty. Would recommend trying out this place since the fillings are super tasty.

Got a whole bunch of onigiri right when they opened and these are fresh! Filled to the brim and super flavourful! The creamy uni was the most special and unique - definitely try them!

Located in pacific mall had to try this place because of all the hype. First off line ups are long so that a sign it’s popular. Prices ridiculously affordable. Portion sizes are huge much bigger than onigiri at other locations. Everything is made fresh so expect to wait. You place your order and a buzzer is given to you so you can continue to shop around while you wait. Expect 1/2 hour wait time. My impressions serving size was huge - rice was soft. My first bite the rice was bland I thought it would be seasoned. The filling I tried spicy crab, salmon and shrimp tempura. The salmon was fresh but lacked flavour. The shrimp was heavily mayonnaised. The spicy crab had a kick to it and I enjoyed it the most. But overall it was average. I wish there was some other texture like fukake or crispy onions. Or a flavour profile that stood out. Even sweet soya sauce would help. Still a nice place to try.

We were walking around pacific mall and noticed so many people with these onigiris in their hand that we had to try it for ourselves. There is a line but it goes fast and they give you a tracker to alert you when your order is ready. We ordered the salmon and crab onigiris. They are all made by hand (not pressed in a machine) and are very large! The price is also comparable to purchasing in a grocery store but the quality was very fresh. I highly recommend!

Decently tasting onigiri with a bit more rice than I would have liked. Slighty pricey and very long lines. Waited about 30 minutes to line up, order, and receive a spicy salmon ($5) and uni (~$7) onigiri. The sea urchin was very creamy and fishy. The salmon was good too, but had too much rice. Overall, I'd recommend trying it once. The lines and the value you get do not justify me going back.

Expected there to be a line since this place has been pretty hyped up online. We arrived at around 5:30pm on Friday and there was no line. Once you order they give you a buzzer and it’ll vibrate when your order is ready. We waited around 10mins before we got our order. We ordered the creamy uni onigiri and the raw spicy salmon. Both were stuffed! Our favourite was the creamy uni one as it was very velvety and had a salty and slight seafoody taste. The price are extremely reasonable for the quality and portion you get. Will definitely be coming back for a quick snack or lunch!
