I've said it before but I'll say it again. This shop has the wrong feng shui. All the other successful eateries at Warrigal Square face inwards forming an informal outdoor food court along the main strip of Warrigal Square.
Nikumaki Honpo has a little shop front which faces onto the parking lot. Even all the signs pointing people in its direction doesn't direct as much traffic here as this little shop deserves. It also doesn't help that they sell obscure parcels of deliciousness called Nikumaki.
What is that you ask. Well, they're oven baked steamed rice balls wrapped with marinated slices of pork. They really are delicious though not as practical to eat as a sushi roll. One roll makes a decent lunch and at $4 each, it's a bargain price. Make sure you ask for the free chilli and coriander toppings. Simply delicious!
Warning: Nikumakis are baked regularly and come out of the oven piping hot. Be careful not to burn yourself. read more
