Finally got to try Chamon and went on Friday afternoon to pick it up. Luckily not a long line for the onigiri, but definitely will be back to sit down and try their bowls. All of the onigiri were in stock and getting replenished while I was there. I loved the amount of filling for each onigiri, it was very generous portion size. My order included their mentaiko, unagi, salmon, salmon and ikura, tuna, and shrimp. Loved the addition of the shiso leaf for the round ones!
Really authentic tasting onigiri and would probably come back here if they fix their ordering process. Came at 11:50 and did get not until 40 minutes after for just take out. They hand out baskets for to go orders and it should be one basket per party or have a paper ordering system to check off what you want. They only allow 5 baskets inside at a time. As of right now, they have the same line for to go and dine in. It was very busy for Friday lunch so it would've been beneficial to add a third worker for just to go orders to help keep the line moving. There's very limited space inside so it makes sense that they want to keep as much space as possible inside but their ordering process doesn't logistically make sense to me. Overall, their onigiri is pretty good but just be prepared to wait if you decide to go.
Chamon Las Vegas was definitely one of my favorite food stops in Las Vegas! If you're an onigiri fan, this place is absolutely worth checking out. The onigiri were delicious! What I really liked about Chamon is that even though many of their options aren't your traditional onigiri, they get really creative and put their own unique twist on them. There were so many different flavors and combinations to choose from that we ended up grabbing a bunch just to try them. My favorite was the Unagi Sansho. The grilled eel was flavorful and went perfectly with the rice and nori. I would definitely get that one again! I was really looking forward to trying the Wagyu, but unfortunately they had already sold out by the time we got there. That just gives me another reason to come back next time I'm in Vegas! Definitely recommend getting there early because some of the popular items can sell out. Overall, I loved the concept, the presentation, and especially the creativity they put into their onigiri. I'll definitely be back!
I eat a lot of high end and izakaya type Japanese food, all through out US and Japan. I was not super impressed by the food here. I came 45 min before opening for lunch on a Friday. I was 9th in line. I've came here twice and first time the negitoro bowl with the uni and crab was sold out for that day. The negitoro bowl honestly tasted worse than it looked. It just tasted bitter and bland, no sweet fresh ocean taste like other chirashi bowls I've had. Maybe it was the egg yolk soy sauce that ruined the flavor for me. It just did not taste like high quality ingredients. I even got extra crab. It was half a crab leg for $6. The snow crab honestly tasted no better than the frozen grocery store stuff, nothing like the fresh stuff from a proper sushi place. The first time, I tried a tempura bowl. It was good, more authentic than most Japanese places in the states, but not super amazing like I need to go back to eat it again. The best food here is their onigiri. The variations and recipes can top the ones found in Japan, very authentic. They do put a little too much rice so you get full fast and can't try too many. They do not keep very well and you need to eat them same day because the rice hardens in the fridge or the fish starts stinking and goes bad! So pick your poison if you wanna buy a lot. The other stuff is not worth standing in line for if you've had authentic Japanese food in Japan or in another bigger city with top notch sushi or fresh fish. I'm from LA and the tempura at Tendon Tempura Carlos Jr in LA is better. There is better fish and rice to be found in LA too like the quality is similar to Sugar Fish and KazuNori. These are very easy to get into spots in LA you don't need to stand in line so I'm surprised to find the crazy hype here. I admit the presentation is nice and the shop's vibes feel very much like you've been transported to Japan. But the cooking quality and flavors are only slightly above average. 3 stars for the cooked food. 4 stars for onigiri. I probably will never come back again now I've tried their signature dishes and see that it's mediocre. The food is not worth the lines it has at all, especially if you're from a big city with good Japanese restaurants. Maybe come here for the Japan nostalgia and vibes or if you've never had authentic Japanese food. If you want to splurge, apparently Kabuto across strip mall parking lot nearby is VERY good. Top 3-5 omakase in the country.
Wow. I brought my sister (visiting from out of state) and boyfriend after seeing so much hype on Instagram. Despite arriving before open, they had a line out of the door for take-out onigiri. The restaurant is quaint, resembling any classic hole-in-the-wall in Japan. I've visited several times, and my boyfriend lived in Okinawa for years, so we were very impressed. The line is long because of how tight the store is. There was a great selection, and we watched them continuously restocking. They give you a basket and you have fun making your selections. They were all tasty. Our favorites being the classic tuna, spicy tuna, and wagyu onigiri. It is take-out only, so we enjoyed them in the car. It was an authentic, tasty, and fun lunchtime experience. We cannot wait to be back! Note: they open take out at 1130, and not the listed 12.
Definitely one of my go-to spots whenever I visit Vegas now. I was so surprised by this spot when I came for dinner. I had seen this spot recommended all over my social media feeds and it didn't disappoint! I do wish I got to try their onigiri and the negitoro dons but the tempura dons were delicious. Like traditional Japanese restaurants, they close in between lunch and dinner. I've heard that there's a line befor opening for lunch or dinner for their onigiri, and that their negitoro dons usually sell out during lunch, so I'll have to come again for lunch next time. The restaurant itself is pretty small, with only a few tables and about three seats at the bar, so the wait can take a while. Our party of three ended up waiting about an hour to get seated around 8:00pm, and we got their premium tempura don. Their tempura is lightly coated in batter and fried, not greasy at all. They're light on the tempura sauce within the bowl, but they provide the sauce at the table for you to add. Definitely recommend loading the sauce onto the bowl for the sweet savoriness and don't forget to use their spicy powder that definitely hits.
Man, good luck getting a seat here! We showed up before opening and the line out the door was nutty! When we were asked if we wanted to dine in the wait time was going to be about 2 hours with no guarantee that they'd have their coveted bowls left. Make sure you get a reservation if possible! We waited for the onigiri which still took us about 30-40 minutes just to get in. Once we were in you could see it was a very cute small izakaya with only 2 tables and bar seating. The onigiri itself was pretty solid but I'm not sure it was worth the wait. Maybe I was just too hungry They also ran out of all the cool advertised ones before we even got a chance (saba, wagyu). Next time I'll definitely shoot for a reservation if I'm in town.
This was probably one of my favorite meals on my last trip to Vegas. All the tempura was delicious but my favorite was the Wagyu bowl. So tender and don't forget to add on the black summer truffle zest! The onigiri was delicious as well and a great grab and go snack. The restaurant itself is very small with limited seating so if you're trying to snag a table be prepared to wait. I got there on a Thursday around 11:45 before they opened and there was already a line. Once they sat the first round of tables I was told the wait would be about 50 min and that was an accurate estimate. Once you're seated the food comes out pretty fast.
I've had Chamon bookmarked for a while and was finally excited to try it. It was EDC weekend, so it was packed. We got there around 11:15 a.m. even though they didn't open until 12 p.m. My group ended up making the second round of seating and didn't get seated until about 1.5 hours later, but it was manageable since we could just put our name and number down and get a text when our table was ready. The downside was that by the time we were seated, all the onigiri had already sold out. Next time, I'd definitely recommend getting in line early to grab the onigiri first and then coming back when your table is ready. We did get lucky and snagged the last serving of the A5 Wagyu steak bowl, which was absolutely the highlight of the meal. I also ordered the negitoro ikura bowl with uni and snow crab, and both were really good, but the Wagyu bowl definitely stood out. Overall, I'd come back for that Wagyu bowl and hopefully next time I'll actually get to try the onigiri too!
There's about 5 tables and some seats at the bar (very small inside), best if you make it early - I'd recommend getting in line by 11-11:30am. They have limited items including: - A5 waygu steak - 10 daily - negitoro bowls - 15 daily Must order: the premium bowl with uni, negitoro, snow crab and ikura. Their tempura bowls is also delicious - great quality, wished it was slightly crispier. Next time I'll try the onigiri - it's the same line if you want to just buy onigiris to go.
My review is solely on the onigiri to-go. I got there at 440pm, waited in my car with the a/c on for a little while until I saw a couple of people lining up. There were only 3 of us in line at 5pm. I've never been here for lunch so maybe dinner is less crowded? You tell me. I keep hearing how packed this place is but I didn't experience that at 5pm on a Thursday. We just had a huge meal from another resto nearby, so I decided I just wanted to pick up some food for later snackies. The restaurant is indeed small, with just a handful of tables. I have to try a sit-down meal here one day. I got pretty much 1-2 each of the available onigiri. I didn't see some of the ones in the photos I've seen on Yelp, but a good variety nonetheless. I wonder if they had it for lunch but ran out? Anyway.. on to the onigiri. I never knew rice could be so tasty! It was just sticky, savory, and satisfying. I agree with some comments that there could be more protein and an improvement in the ratio but the rice was enjoyable as well, my taste buds didn't suffer. My favorite onigiri was the salmon & ikura, it was sweet, savory, salty, minty.. how can something so simple, be so complex in flavors? I was already full off 1-2 onigiri but my gosh, I wanted to open them all up and try them all at once. These would be amazing snackies for a road trip or a movie.
This place was amazing. We got here at 2:20 PM, just as they were doing last call for their lunch service. My friends and I got their Original Negitoro Bowl and also the Deluxe Tempura bowl. It was all good - we're definitely going to go back next time we're in Vegas. (It was so good, one friend actually went back for their limited Wagyu tempura bowl). We also grabbed a bunch of onigiri to eat later for an early dinner. I can't remember which onigiri I ended up grabbing, but they mostly fell in pretty good to very good range.
Tempura was super fresh and I loved the seasoning on the rice. We weren't super hungry so we were able to share one of the bowl combos. Since it was around dinner time, they were already out of some of their musubi options, but the couple I took to go were yummy. Convenient and speedy ordering to go for my friends, and the workers were friendly. It's a very small restaurant so we were lucky they had seating for two of us right away at dinner time.

What a treat! I was so excited to try tendon without going to Japan, and this place absolutely hits the spot. The food is tender and fresh, the quality of the food is on-point, and the flavors are light-- come here if you're missing your rice bowls from Japan and are craving something satisfying and nutritious. Chamon hits all the hallmarks of Japanese cuisine-- from a delicate tempura breading, juicy ebi (shrimp), and sweet vegetables (yes, even the lotus root). Nothing is undercooked, the pickled vegetables are delicious, and the rice is fragrant. The meal also comes with a tempura sauce that is more light and savory that sweet. This place is a must-try-- did I mention it's also inexpensive? If you're unwilling to wait for a seat (the interior is small), you can go inside and buy their onigiri to go-- I haven't tried them, but they look absolutely delicious. Don't forget to use the matcha salt! read more

I think I'm in love with this restaurant. I love everything I ordered especially their uni. I came in during their dinner time so I didn't get to try their uni bowl but I got to order their uni as a side order and it was so fresh. I also got their snow crab plate, I absolutely loved everything on my plate. They were all fried perfectly and their tempura sauce really hit the spot as well. I got the matcha tiramisu for dessert, it was very nice and moist but not overly sweet. My server was very friendly even after they got busy. This place is a relatively small restaurant but they do keep the restaurant nice and clean, they also have all their riceballs out front so once you walk in, you get to pick what you want to go. I really enjoyed my experience here. read more

Hello Wei, Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear…
Chamon in Las Vegas is an amazing spot if you are ever wanting to try/fill that tendon craving that really matches the quality of japan. It's a cozy, low-key restaurant off of golden spring road that not only has delicious meals but also stocks up onigiris and other snacks to have if are wanting to take something to go. The tendon dish was of course the highlight for me. It had that perfect balance of texture and flavor. The tempura was perfectly fried, making it soft and delicate without being mushy but still having that nice crunch. The flavors were very clean and all the items shining together without being drowning out each other. And of course, the sauce the tendon comes with makes it even more delicious, showing the intentionality of everything that they did :) And all of this for a pretty reasonable price for what you are getting. If you're in Vegas and want something comforting that feels like it was straight from japan, definitely check this place out. read more

first visit, we got there before they opened and there was a line outside! wee were able to get seated the first round. 2nd visit i was there 30 mins before they close in the afternoon, and the place is empty! there were definitely more onigiri options to choose from them when you go early. everything was so yummy - get a matcha americano while there - it's legit! read more

Hello Rj, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your experience…
Finally got the chance to try out Chamon after seeing it all over my fyp! The first visit I only came in for their onigiri, which were delicious. This second visit I was able to try their Tendon (which is my favorite Japanese bowl dish). I honestly had to lower my expectations for this considering I've had the best Tendon in Japan, but this was really delicious! The premium bowl comes with a mix of tempura vegetables, an egg, 2 ebi, and a side of miso & pickles. The miso had muscles in it, which was a pleasant surprise! A very hearty and fulfilling meal. It is a bit pricey but I think it was worth the dime. I also tried their matcha latte which was a bit sweet but still great! for only $4?? unheard of in vegas imo. めちゃおいしいかたですよ！ありがとございます read more
Sooo many good options. Crowded every time we've come so I suggest coming right when they've opened to get a good seat. Otherwise, you could always grab a few onigiris which are fresh and made pretty much every hour. I'll definitely have to come back on a less crowded day and try one of their delicious looking bowls! read more

Hello Alexis, Thanks for the kind words and helpful tip! We're happy…
I've been dying to try Chamon after seeing multiple Instagram reels before and after the grand opening. I was prepared to wait since the dining room is small. For a party of 2, we were given an estimate of a 45 min wait after arriving at 12:20pm. We got the call that our table was ready in about 20 min so we were pleasantly surprised it was ready that quick. We ordered the Matcha Americano, Premium Bowl, and Deluxe Bowl. The Matcha Americano was very refreshing and not too sweet, with the premium matcha taste being the forefront flavor. The bowls were delicious - the main difference is that the Deluxe has an Anago sea eel that is a saltier tempura (if you like salted preserved fish, this is really good). I was slightly disappointed that the enoki mushrooms were no longer included in any of the bowls anymore but the other components were so perfectly seasoned and fried that it made up for it. For traditional Japanese "tendon" tempura bowls, Chamon is an experience worth waiting for. read more

I have been wanting to try this place. I was in the mood for some onigiri so I decided to give this new place a try. This place already had a line outside before it was even open. The line was mostly for anyone wanting to dine in and if you are just here for onigiri to go then it's a little faster. They had a good amount of options for onigiri and the soups look good too. I tried the shrimp tempura and the spam egg onigiri. Both were fresh and delicious. I'm definitely coming back to try the soups. Come earlier and expect a wait if you decide to dine in. read more
Saw this place on tiktok. I went and did t realize it was a restaurant too! Wish I knew! Anyways, they are known for their onigiri. When you walk in they have over 30 different ones! I wanted to get them alll! I did grab a few and all of them tastes great. The textures of the rice and fillings were perfect ratios. I love this place! read more

we had the pleasure of eating at Chamon, and let me just say--the food was out of this world. I ordered the Negitoro bowl with extra uni, and the flavor absolutely explodes in your mouth. The bowl comes with a raw egg and house-made shoyu, which you're meant to mix together and pour over the don--rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. It's also served with a warm bowl of miso soup, rounding out the meal beautifully. The service was fantastic--super kind and attentive staff. Just a heads-up: seating is very limited, probably around 11 chairs total, so it's best to come early or be prepared to wait a bit. We got there at 12PM (when they open) and all the seatings at the table were occupied, but had 3 bar seating available. of course we said "yes" to bar seating & was sat within 5 minutes. This is our 4th time trying to sit in and eat here .. it's either the wait was too long of a wait and didn't fit our planned day or they ran out of negitoro bowls.. One cool feature is that they offer onigiri at the front for grab-and-go. After our sit-down lunch, we picked up a few onigiri and a Hojicha latte to take with us--both were excellent. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. Small space, huge flavors. read more

Finally tried Chamon and it was amazing! The quality of the food, the customer service, the presentation, everything! I knew this was a small place and had long wait times so my partner and I made sure to get there early to grab seating when they first opened. The ambiance was nice, felt like I was transported to a little shop in Japan. We arrived at 11:30am and there was already a line. They open at 12 but let people in 5-10min early to get seated for dine in or choose onigiris if they just wanted to go items. We sat down at the bar and were reviewing the menu. It is simple and straightforward, they specialize in Japanese cuisine, tempura, and onigiris. My partner got the premium tempura bowl and I got the original negitoro ikura bowl, which they sell only 15 a day. The tempura was crispy, the flavors were delicious, the miso soup was good and overall amazing. The same for the negitoro ikura bowl, the negitoro was buttery and smooth and so delicious. They provided instructions on how to properly eat the negitoro bowl by mixing the egg yolk with the soy sauce, pouring it over the bowl, and eat it on its own or wrap it in seaweed. We also got onigiris which I forgot to take a pic, but those were delicious and hefty too. Overall loved the place, love the food, would definitely go again and try the other bowls, more onigiris and the dessert! read more

I was wondering what made this place so popular. Young and old waited for almost 2 hours just to experience this place. It was a family vacation and we normally explore foodies. It was worth the wait. My grandson finished his wagyu tempura and even asked for more. The only downside is the place is too small, hoping they can get a bigger place to avoid long wait read more

Came in about 15 minutes after opening on a Saturday and there was a line! We had to wait about 30 minutes before we were able to get a table. Staff were really nice and we were able to go in and shop for Onigiri. Menu is simple which I like but pricey. Food was delicious and fresh. I enjoyed the whole set meal. It did cost $1 more. The dipping sauce that the set meal comes with is different than the sauce on the table. I think I prefer the sauce they serve on the table and will probably get the bowl if I come back. Overall, delicious meal but a bit pricey in my opinion. read more
We came around 1pm w 4 ppl and were able to score seats right away. It's pretty small inside so seating is limited. They do have an area w a variety of onigiris to go if you do not want to wait for a table. We got a few onigiris to smack on while we waited for our tempura plates. The spam musubi was ok. I've had better. The tempura plate was amazing. I would definitely come back to try different onigiris. read more

I've come here a couple times to pick up some onigiris, but always wanted a chance to sit down and eat at the restaurant. I was finally able to come on a weekday right at opening and I got the last table. Within minutes, there was a long line to sit. This place is so popular with very limited seating! I ordered a premium tempura plate which included 2 ebi shrimp, kisu, soft boiled egg, lotus root, squash, shiso herb, and seawood all tempura fried and it came with miso soup, rice, and tempura sauce. The food was delicious. The place is a big portion and everything was cooked to perfection. Additionally, we ordered the hojicha latte and it was DELICIOUS. My critique is that the onigiris that they sell are just okay. Nothing special and they don't really reheat well. read more

Finally visited the highly anticipated Chamon after a few weeks of its grand opening. Spoiler: it's still very much busy with lines for onigiri out the door and wait times to sit and eat for over an hour. Aside from popular demand, Chamon is nestled in a tiny suite in Seoul Plaza. They have bar seating and about 3-4 tables for sit down - you can see from wall to wall as soon as you walk in! My boyfriend and I waited on line for onigiri and put ourselves on the waitlist to sit down as well. Our wait time was about an hour and a half - no problem as there are so many things to do in Chinatown. We ended up doing some light groceries. We got a handful of onigiri to go. Unfortunately a lot were sold out already. We got the most appetizing to us and taste tested in the car to hold us over until we were seated. Sad to say, but all of them were just alright. The shrimp tempura was soggy, which was a bit of a given. The rice to seafood ratio was uneven and got a whole lotta rice. My favorite was the unagi, but even that was mediocre at best. We came back after prompted by a text that our table was almost ready and sat at the waiting area, which was a few chairs against the wall, to be seated. We decided to share the deluxe which was basically a deluxe deconstructed with a little bit more sauce. I think it was a few dollars more - I'd say you could definitely go without making your meal a combo. The tempura was nicely battered and crispy. The miso was a bit salty. Chamon is also known for their matcha salt, which just seemed like colored salt. No hint of matcha there. Use it sparingly because it's strong. What really stole the show for me was the matcha latte. Probably the best I've had in Vegas. If I could just pick one up for my morning pick me up, I'd be checking in almost every day. I'm not in a rush to go back. I'm glad I finally tried and experienced it - I've got my fix for now! read more

My friends and I stopped by to grab a quick snack before our hike, but now I really want to come back and eat in their sit-down restaurant. We tried almost all of the onigiri, and the favorite was definitely the nitamago shoyu egg. The mackerel was a little too fishy for me, but the eel and chashu were also top picks. We also got the chicken omurice, but the sauce was ketchup, and I wasn't a big fan of that. Other than that, everything was solid, and I'd love to come back for a full meal. read more

I'm so happy I found this place during my trip to Vegas! We did not get to dine in but made sure to pick up some onigiris. There is so much variety in their selection and they were delicious. We got several different ones, the mentaiko being my favorite. I wish we went back to try some more. The space to pick out the onigiris is a bit small but nothing to complain about. I'm very excited to come back next time I am in town. read more
A beautiful meal presented with incredibly fresh seafood! The restaurant is small, so get there at opening or expect a wait time. As you wait, you eyes lean toward the 20 or so homemade onigiri (rice balls with different meats, some wrapped with seaweed), the urge to purchase overtakes you as a grab a basket and fill up on a few top choices. Delish for now! Hangry feels subside! On to the meal, we were lucky and were able to order one of their famous bowls- only 15 per day are sold. Eek! $45 bucks, but oh my so fresh and worth it! Our other meal was the supreme tempura lunch set. So good, the tempura set had 2 shrimp, veggies, and the OMG tempura egg which was soft boiled- like a 2 min egg, tenderly fried with tempura and just oozing with yolk. Mix that on the rice, add some matcha salt (definitely use sparingly- they also sell a small container for $1.50, yes please!) The nori tempura was nothing like I expected, it definitely surpassed my expectations and I ordered an additional set of 3 as well as the mushroom! Must try! Will come back and order more onigri rolls because they were delicious! read more

Hello Lily, Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad you…
So....3 stars FOR NOW. Hear me out. Went today for lunch. Got there at 10:45am. Stayed in the car w/ AC on until people started pulling up 15 minutes later. First in line at 11am, 98 degrees. 11:30am, 25-30 people deep. Staff comes out with water for people. Cool. 11:50am, Waiter comes out with sign up sheet for customers. Customers specify 3 choices: 1) DINE IN AND ONIGIRI (What we did) 2) DINE IN ONLY 3) ONIGIRI ONLY 12 Noon-Waiter comes back to the front and takes our order and we specify dine in AND onigiri. Keep in mind, there are 10-12 dine in spots and they only have 6 baskets for onigiri. Also, a maximum of 600 onigiri are made daily, and they tend to run out during the lunch hours.(Noon-3pm) What SHOULD HAVE happened: Go down the line one party at a time. If you're dining in and getting onigiri, you should be brought to your table and be given a basket for onigiri. Dining in only? Brought to your table. Onigiri only? Get a basket for onigiri. What ACTUALLY happened: 12:15pm Doors open, a lady comes out and asks for the first 6 parties(about 10 people)doing ONIGIRI ONLY to come up and hands them baskets to shop for onigiri. They go in BEFORE US. We are like WTF?????The first 3 parties(us included) were DINE IN and ONIGIRI. We all finally get sat at our tables at 12:25pm. We all look over at the chaos over at the onigiri area that looks like black friday going down. We go over to the lady and tell her that we were all dining in and getting onigiri. Her answer? "Okay, let your server know." Who? The lone server tending to other tables??? At this point, we're like, "F@#k it" joined the chaos, and grabbed whatever onigiri looked good. No time to read descriptions or prices, because hands are coming every which way to fill baskets and trays are becoming bare by the second. So much for being first in line! Managed to get 9 onigiri and carefully brought it back to our table. The waiter tallies the price up and packs up our onigiri as our Deluxe Tendons arrive. Matcha Latte arrives. Bit of space left for some Matcha Tiramisu. Ten-Don:5/5 Latte: 5/5 Tiramisu: 4/5 Overall, lunch was good, HOWEVER, I would also like to know, since you use "100% plant-based oil for tempura, what do you SPECIFICALLY mean? Canola? Sunflower? Cottonseed? Olive? Avocado? Plant based sounds healthy, but is too vague and could be a health hazard and misleading. Your patrons could be allergic and deserve more transparency in the cooking oil you use Wishing all the best to Chamon, but PLEASE prioritize customers IN ORDER and specify WHAT TYPE of plant based oil you use. *EDIT: 100% Cottonseed Oil is used for frying their tempura, which falls under the SEED OIL category. If you know about seed oils, then you know that it is a manufactured oil that isn't good for your health in the long run. read more
Friday 11:55a lunch arrival. We were able to fit in as the first group's last table! * Deluxe tendon (3/5) - not crispy :-( my friend mentioned the same thing earlier this week Onigiri rating: * chashu 5 * karaage 5 * chicken mayo 5 * unagi 4 * salmon ikura 3 - kinda dry * tuna mayo 4 * salmon mayo 3 * cheese mentaiko 4 The rice was my highlight! Well cooked and seasoned. 今度、おにぎりだけ買います。Thank you to the staff. read more

I ordered 5 onigiris (unagi, salmon, salmon and mayo, saba, and mentaiko). I was really excited for this place as the last time I went they ran out. I ordered these right at open. I had the salmon and mayo and mentaiko while my husband had the others. Honestly, it was pretty underwhelming. Salmon was a bit fishy even with the mayo. Unfortunately the biggest disappointment was the matcha latte... it tasted so artificial and the matcha was so swampy. I shared a pic of what I saw on uber eats vs what I got. Not sure if I got a bad batch but the matcha seriously was a disappointment. read more

The tempura was tasty and there is variety of onigiri from $2.50-$5.50 We bought four different onigiri too. Two tempura bowls, two drinks, and four onigiri cost $72. This place is small and really busy. Service was great read more

Hello Wally, Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words! We’re…
This restaurant only seats about 12, is dine in only, and has only been open for about a week so if that's an issue, maybe wait a couple weeks to go. There's so much interest in the place and it's unfortunate people are unhappy that they've had electrical issues, run out of food, and have to wait. I was told when dining in that they are only able to make two meals at a time. With only 12/13 seats do with that information as you like. I highly recommend being mindful of when to go and to expect a wait. Anyways this is a Japanese restaurant that specializes in authentic tempura. They do a bowl, vegetable bowl, and a set. I'll say this is one of the best meals I had this year. I recommend the set. The bowl has about the same amount of food but the bowl gets sauced in the kitchen versus the set being all separate. Being separated the tempura stays crispy. It's a very simple meal that is served with miso soup, a different pickle, and some matcha salta. They have a finishing soy at the table that's delicious. I went this past Friday at 11:40am which is 20 Minutes before they open. I was luckily the 11th & 12th person with my sister and got sat at the very last table. The shop is small and they had a sign up sheet. It was as organized as I think they could have it considering the shop is so small. They were able to let people in for just onigiri which was cool but it's just one line initially. Anyways the tempura is so good lol I could eat here every week if it was easy to have but I may make the wait at least once every month. It's that good. They have an egg they tempura that you pop onto the rice and eat with the tempura and the dipping sauce and it's so good. Use the matcha salt, use the finishing soy, and use the dipping sauce. They don't do to go orders, it's walk in first come first serve, if you like simple Japanese food done perfectly you'll love this. Also, onigiri are really good: they have something for everyone ranging from $2.50 to like $6. My favorite is the mackerel and then the uni. The meals are about $25 for the bowl or the set. I spent about $140 for two sets, matcha latte, matcha americano, and all of those onigiri, and tip. read more

Chamon is one of those spots that gets a lot of hype, so I was curious to see if it lived up to the reputation. First off, be ready to wait -- I ended up standing in line for about an hour, and honestly, I'm not sure it's worth that long of a wait. The restaurant itself is very small, which adds to the charm, but also makes the whole process feel more cramped and slow. The onigiri here are definitely cute and creative, with playful shapes and fun toppings, but the taste didn't quite match the presentation. Some were overly salty, while others were drowning in ketchup-like sauces, which kind of overwhelmed the rice itself. It felt more like a novelty snack than something I'd crave again. On the bright side, the tempura was impressively fresh -- light, crispy, and not greasy at all. But at the end of the day, good tempura isn't that hard to find if you know where to go, so it didn't feel particularly special or unique to this place. Service was friendly and efficient considering how busy they were, but with so many other authentic Japanese restaurants in the area, I couldn't help but think that the time spent waiting could have been better used trying other nearby spots. If you're curious, it's still worth popping in for a quick bite -- maybe grab one or two onigiri and some tempura if there's no line -- but if you see a crowd, I'd say skip the wait and explore the neighborhood instead. read more

Came a few minutes before they opened for dinner. Luckily there weren't many people waiting, so we were seated right away. I tried the premium tempura bowl, the tempura was nice & crunchy. Just a little pricey at $20. We also got onigiris to-go. While we were seated, there was already a lot of people grabbing onigiris & they were starting to sell out. Luckily, our server let us grab some & just add it to our bill. The onigiris varied between $3-$7, we tried a few different ones & my favorite is probably the spicy takana with roe. We even came back the next day to try more onigiris. If you plan on getting onigiris, I'd suggest coming early as they do sell out fast! read more

Hello Alyanna, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad…
Make sure to come here early if you want to snatch up some onigiri flavors before they sell out! They're only a few seats available inside but service is fairly quick and the servers handed us the menu while we were waiting in line outside. We got here at 11:50am and already a line of 10 people out the door! Me and my friend both got veggie tempura bowl and some onigiri to go. (I suggest eating the onigiri day of, as that when they're best) Veggie tempura was so crispy and full of Unami flavor, and the bowl fills you up pretty quickly. The onigiri have some fun flavors like pork chasu or edamame and corn! All handmade and delicious looking! read more

Newly opened onigiri spot was hitting home after my recent trip to Japan. The ambiance was very homey and tiny. When we walked in, it was full for dine in so we opted for the to-go onigiri selection. Due to a late arrival, unfortunately some were sold out, but here is what we tried. 1. Corn and Edamame: For veggie lovers this is an option, however we felt it was missing a salty aspect, definitely needed some seaweed or soy sauce. 2. Pork Belly: i loved the sauce on this one, it was sweet with a savory aftertaste. The fish cake was a cute touch 3. Chicken: the fried chicken was good, but a bit chewy. The sauce was a nice surprise and helped it to stay moist. 4. Spicy Salmon: i loved this one and felt it was the most flavor packed. I would get this again The lady was sweet and gave us a little basket. Overall we loved the onigiris and hope to come back and try the ones that were sold out. read more

Finally was able to grab some onigiri from here, we came around 12:30 and they still had a lot left. Place is really tiny and cramped inside but we just came to grab a few they are on the pricy side but understandable because they make them each by hand, they are good my favorite one was the charsu pork onigiri. I'd like to come back and try the bowls but I will have to wait sometimes for that since they only make how many a day maybe when they die down a little and the hype from the social media passes by. read more

2nd attempt! Success! We tried this place a couple of months ago a little after they opened...but wow lunch hour was busy and the line was long. Since my sister and I were so hungry we had to pass. Just last week I had the chance to finally try this place. Pretty small and only seats 8 (2 people per table). Upon entering you are greeted with friendly and smiling employees. On the right side of the entrance they have a table with a good selection of Onigiri which they refill when needed. Gotta say my sister and I got so excited we bought a couple to go before we even sat on our table. I ordered the Delux bowl with a snow crab leg and my sister had the same Delux with a side of Uni. Honestly did took a couple of pictures of the wonderful meal and probably inhaled the whole thing. The Delux bowl is pretty massive with a half slice of the entire eel tail and kisu (white small fish), shrimp, boiled egg, lotus, squash, shiso herb and nori that is deep fried all on top of the rice with a lite eel sauce. The meal also comes with miso soup and a side pickled cabbage. Everything was cook tempura style which I enjoyed very much. The only thing my brain is having a hard time taking is the way the eel was cooked. I think I got so used to the grilled with sauce that eating it as tempura is a pretty new experience. Not bad but a new way of eating eel for sure. The side of crab was wow. Everything was amazing even the uni which I am not really a fan off since the last I had it it was salty. The uni they serve hardly had that salty taste which was a relief. I also tried their Hojicha latte iced. It works well with our meal and very refreshing. Ps. All the onigiri we tried are very filling and we'll flavored. The meat to rice ratio was also equally balanced so I don't think anyone would think they are eating more rice like all the other onigiri that I've tried. Will try to have another wonderful meal at this place when in town . read more

The original bowl was incredibly fresh and well-balanced, featuring a great combination of ingredients. I was really impressed with the large selection of onigiri which made for a perfect grab-and-go snack. Everything tasted handmade and high quality. read more

This place was pretty hyped up for a while so I was looking forward to trying it out. We went on a random Wednesday but still had to wait approximately 45 minutes. The reason the wait is so long is because they can only sit about 14 people. Food wise we decided to get the biggest tempura dish they offered. There is an additional charge if you have it presented separately instead of all in the bowl, which is what we ended up doing. Overall I feel like the dish was a little underwhelming. I don't think think the food would be something worth waiting for. I do eventually want to comeback and try their onigiri one day but they tend to sell out fast. The setting of the place is just an average small restaurant with limited seating. Anywhere you sit you can get a view of the kitchen is kind of cool read more

Do they have Onigiri from 5-9pm as well?
Yes, but didn't have much left and were out of the wagyu onigiri. (I got there right at 5pm on a Thursday)
Do they have highchair to accommodate 1.5yr old baby?
Yes- they have the wooden high chairs in the corner for use~
Do they take reservations?
no, they don't and they have limited daily 15 bowls of their rice/crab/sea urchin ( the best and $45 buckss)
How long are the onigiri good for? Do they need to be refrigerated?
Prolly a week in the fridge. A day or two not refrigerated
What is the typical wait time on a weekday right at opening 5pm?
They open at noon, if you get there 15 mins early usually no wait but once is full only 13 people capacity, you will need to wait anywhere from 20 mins or more.
I know it say they use a 100% plant based oil for frying, what kind of oil is it? I have a soy allergy.
They use 100% COTTONSEED oil....Sadly, such a bad oil for a good product. All restaurants should stop using seed oils.
Is this the same Chamon that used to be in the same plaza, across from Sweets Raku (RIP 😭)?? The old Chamon, "The Matcha Salon," served amazing desserts like mochi balls and red bean and green tea soft serve ice cream. Same name, same logo.
Yup! It's the same location & same logo, they just focus on tendon bowls now!
