I wanted to find a small local place and we hit the jackpot! I had no idea this place was in this shopping center and we will definitely be back to try more. We ordered a few different rolls and edamame and everything was delicious. The restaurant is a great size and plenty of seating and wasn't loud like a lot of places. I could have a conversation with my mom and not yell. The service was also good and very friendly. They seem to do a good amount of take out.

And if you don't know yet, let me be the one to introduce you…read more O!nigiri is one of those places that feels like a little secret, tucked right next to Lotte Plaza Market, which is honestly the perfect location. I've made it my personal rule to stop here before I grocery shop, because walking into Lotte on an empty stomach is a financial decision I can no longer afford to make. I got the salmon, tuna, and sukiyaki, and every single one was exactly what a good onigiri should be: generously filled, perfectly textured rice that holds together just right without feeling like a compressed brick, and flavors that are clean and satisfying without trying too hard. It sounds simple because it is simple. That's the whole point, and that's exactly why it's so hard to do well. The owners are warm and genuinely friendly in a way that feels real, not rehearsed. The interior is small and charming, lined with anime figures and collectibles that give it this cozy, personal energy, like eating in someone's lovingly curated living room. Seating is limited, but I usually take mine to go anyway, eating it in the parking lot like a man who has zero regrets. Here's the thing though. O!nigiri used to have a spot in Carytown years ago, and when they closed, I took it harder than I'd like to admit. Something about losing a place that does something specific incredibly well hits different. So when I found out they were back, I felt genuinely victorious. Don't sleep on this place. It's a small, perfect thing in a city that deserves more of them.

This was our first time here. We came during an in-between meal time and were greeted at the door…read more We confirmed we were dining in and were shown to a table. But after being seated, no one came back. We were the only customers in the restaurant. The two employees were sitting just a few tables away, including the person who seated us. After waiting for a while, we assumed ordering must happen through the kiosks by the tables. When we got up to use one, we were told they could take our order instead. It made for a strange first impression. There was an odd smell throughout the restaurant and the restroom smelled especially unpleasant. The food came out fairly quickly. Unfortunately, we found it underwhelming. I ordered the chicken wonton ramen. It was bland, and the wontons reminded me more of something from a frozen meal than something made in-house. My fiancé ordered the tonkotsu ramen and had similar thoughts. Lunch for two ended up costing over $40 after tax and tip, and that was with just water to drink. For the price, we expected more. This is not somewhere we plan to return.

We walked in not expecting much, and we were amazed at the speed and efficiency of the staff. This place seems like a happening place for the night crowd, lots of young men and women congregating at the bar. Our server was shy and quiet, but she was quick and efficient at her job. We ordered the Thai Iced Tea (quite literally the best I have ever had in my life) and the Drunken Noodles. I am a pad kee mao aficionado, and theirs were fantastic. The atmosphere was interesting, eclectic if I had to sum it up in a word. There were multiple seating genres, if that makes sense. We sat at the small four-top in the lower area, and the view of the whole restaurant was great for people watching if you're into that sort of thing. We came here with no expectations, and we were blown away. What a hidden gem; we certainly got our money's worth. Whole-hearted recommendation from both of us. Recently, while driving down Main Street, we noticed there will soon be a new location downtown as well, so we've got that to look forward to.

Was still seated immediately and drink orders were taken soon after…read more If you're looking for a quiet spot, this place gets LOUD when fully seated so don't expect to hold a long conversation. Appetizers are sized for sharing. The papaya salad at a 2 spice was closer to medium. The vegetable gyoza should be skipped if you want it steamed (flavorless and rather lifeless that way, so opt for fried). Main dishes were quite large and we both doggie bagged our entrees. If you're a picky eater they have the old standbys but if you want to try something new, the menu is large. Parking is easy. Seating is both inside and out. Food all tasted fresh. I'd go back and get a more adventurous main.

The food came out promptly and everything was made to order. The other staff helped clear and we never had to stare at a stack of our sushi plates. The standout rolls for me were the Short Pump Roll and the Banana Roll. This place is still quite new and you can tell that they put time and effort into the design. The decor felt well thought out and was stunning. They even have some spirited away statues which was a fun Easter egg for anime lovers. Overall, this will definitely be an AYCE sushi place I return to. The quality was undeniable and I'm excited to try out their dinner next.
