One of my favorite spots for a quick, on-the-go meal. The food is always reliable, tasty, and perfect when I need something fast. Go-to order: Edamame Set with 2 Onigilly (Spam + Baked Salmon) FOOD: 9/10 The onigiri are the perfect size and packed with a flavorful, umami-filled bite. They're consistently fresh and satisfying, which is why I keep coming back. SERVICE: 9/10 Ordering is through self-service kiosks, making the process quick and easy. The staff is always efficient and straightforward, which fits the grab-and-go concept perfectly. AMBIANCE: 8/10 Simple, modern, and sleek. It's not a place I'd hang out for long, but it's clean, well-designed, and great for a quick stop. Overall, one of my favorite places whenever I'm craving a fast, dependable meal. It rarely disappoints. read more

Overall Mid California-3/5 the crab was ehh but the shrimp was good. I would probably get just the shrimp alone. Sukiyaki Beef-3/5 has an acquired taste it's okay. Mushroom-1/5 the sauce throws it off not enough mushroom Also the seaweed was a bit tough to bite off. As I'm trying to bite it off the whole triangle unfolds. read more

Don't let the name fool you -- it's not just Onigilly! They also have poke bowls. If you're looking for a clean meal, get the custom bowl. I wanted to try the tofu noodles, which actually tastes pretty close to real noodles. There's not a lot of fish protein in the bowl but it's enough for the price and it was pretty tasty. To increase my protein, I tagged on a side of Mini Poke Salad Shio-Koji Tuna for $8.25 so grand total was $26.37 Placing your order at the kiosk which was super easy and wait was minimal. There are a couple of small tables nearby for eating or you can take it to the food court area if you want to spread out. Staff were friendly enough. This is a good option amongst all the fast food high calorie junk in the mall. read more

Really enjoyed my first experience here. I asked the associate for recommendations and It's unfortunate I couldn't try a few items on the menu because I'm pregnant, they were nice enough to give me generous samples. I walked away with a snow crab onigiri and a raw one for my husband. I will be back because it hit as a mid-afternoon snack! They also have some BOGO deals going on, so it's worth it. read more

Take out counter in the Serramonte mall. They have those rice triangles rapped in seaweed with a choice of fillings. Kinda like a sandwich. 2 triangles and a miso soup or a salad is a set. Healthy (little meat) right size meal. Order by machine which takes time to get use to. read more

First time trying it out after it opened in Serramonte! Seating is limited to a few tables out infront of the store. You order at the self-kiosk and the service is pretty fast. All the Onigilly flavors are yummy especially the salmon, and the overall portion size is not bad for the price. The 2-piece sets are good if you want a light lunch but aren't starving. I have some notes regarding sizing. Overall, it's pretty good. Edamame Set with 2 Onigilly (Ponzu Salmon Poke and Sweet Soy Salmon Poke) - I liked the taste of the sweet soy salmon better. Salmon portion sizes seem to vary, but overall I wish they included more fish. After I bit into the ponzu salmon one I felt like it was mostly rice, while the salmon was pushed to the side which made it look more filling than it was (see photo). The sweet soy salmon one had more fish though, so maybe that was a one-off occurrence. Bento Set with 2 Onigilly (Spicy Tuna Poke and Koji Tuna Poke) - My partner liked it but I wish it came with more chicken karaage - the two pieces were pretty tiny. The takuan (pickled radish) and tamagoyaki were yummy and went well with the Onigilly! read more

Love how they have so much varieties! They charged from $3.99-$4.99 per one. They do sell them in a set of 2 or 3 with a combo set of your choice. I tried a few flavors: Ponzu Salmon Poke Koji Tuna Poke Ume Salmon Unagi Miso Nasu * if you're a pickled plum fan, you should give it a try! I love how they filled up the fillings pretty good and a lot of rice to go with it compared to the other chain places I tried. I went around 1ish and the line slowly got packed. But I only waited less than 10mins. Outside looks nice and clean. There are 2 kiosk machine on the counter where people wait in line to order. There's also a few tables and chairs around that area or mall, so something we don't need to worry about! I'll go back soon to explore the rest of the menu! read more

For a quick bite check out onigilly! 5$ for a deluxe I got the California, it was a delicous bite. This little shop has a tiny machine in the back that makes the triangular rice cakes. The service was nice but really you just order with the machine and pick up your order. read more

So, we had the one open at stonestown and then now we finally have one at Serramonte shopping center in Daly City. I would say this one feels and somewhat tastes better than the Stonestown location. Mainly, we weren't feeling the rice cooked at stonestown as much as we felt the rice could have been cooked abit more. Comparing to this one, majority of the flavors were closer to how we remembered the taste from other onigillies. The service was really good too as the staff were all really concentrating on their work and the main cashier was really good about assisting with recs and if we needing anything else to make the experience better. We would return t this location more as the onigillies tasted better for us. Thank you! read more

Onigilly Japanese Kitchen - Onigiri 3 combo - Japanese Near Me - Daly City, California

Had no idea what this place was about but had an expert bring me here to try their "perfect-size for a lunch for a non-big eater" (my words haha). Got to try two of the premium onigiris which was a poke and a snow crab. Both were beautifully made and really tasty :) I was curious about the combos they had, but I think you're limited on choice - but could be an option for those who want a bit of a heftier lunch. OMG - their yuzu lemonade is so good though! Maybe a tad too sweet but honestly, you can just water it down yourself. We were able to get this complimentary using the app's promo - we were between the spam onigiri or this yuzu lemonade and honestly, that's a tough choice, but I'm gonna say the yuzu is better hahaha :D read more

Onigilly Japanese Kitchen - Snowcrab (left) and Poke Onigiri(s) - Japanese Near Me - Daly City, California

Onigilly is now open, and a great addition to Serramonte! It's one of the healthier food options in the mall. I stopped by for a quick snack and was able to order easily on one of the two self-ordering tablets. There are 3 types of pricing: classic ($3.99), premium ($4.49) and deluxe ($4.99). I opted for two of the deluxe onigiris: tuna poke and snow crab. Both were great and made to order quickly. I also got a yuzu lemonade with the new offer when you sign up for free rewards (via Toast). Loved this lemonade! Super refreshing and not too sweet. You can also build your own onigilly set with 2-3 onigiri and can add things like seaweed salad, miso soup, pickles etc. The only thing I wished was for there to be more seating and tables around, or else it's grab and go. Will be back again regardless though! read more

Love onigilly! Tried the ginger beef! Was good! Snow crab is plain. Spam musubi is what you'd expect. Egg is always too sweet. Edamame is fine and plain. Karaage is kinda based. Miso soup is what you'd expect. Love the radish. Note to self: I like the sweet salmon more than the ponzu salmon. 1. Sweet salmon 2. Beef read more

Stopped by Onigilly at Serramonte during their Grand Opening weekend on Saturday. I caught the ribbon-cutting ceremony and then waited in a long line, which moved slowly. Ordering at the self-serve kiosk was easy overall, but the BOGO promo took a moment to figure out. After typing in "BOGO," you have to tap the green checkmark for the discount to apply. I ended up getting the free SPAM and did the BOGO 50% off with Snow Crab and Salmon Tarako. Everything tasted great. This was my first time trying Onigilly, and I'd definitely come back. They also had fun grand opening extras--I spun the prize wheel and won Onigilly chopsticks. Raffle prizes include free Onigilly for a year (two winners), AirPods, and an iPad. Winners are being notified today (Jan. 20), so I'm hoping for some good news! read more

We went here for lunch early today, we were afraid the lines were super long with the soft opening. It wasn't crazy busy at opening,and pretty easy. We places our order on the mini kiosk and our food was out in minutes. We ordered: 1. Spicy tuna poke: Surprisingly spicier than I expected but was fresh and gone in no time. 2. Ponzu salmon: Fresh and not fishy tasting. Ponzu was a good balance. 3. Bento box 3 onigilly: This is a good deal, you can choose 3 items, comes with edamame, chicken karaage, tamagoyaki, & takuan. Good for sharing, sampling, and cheaper in my opinion. We did 2 orders of these: mix of shrimp tempura, snow crab, miso tuna salad, and spam. All were fresh and equally delicious. 4. Cream puffs : matcha and strawberry were a perfect way to end the meal. 5. Organic matcha lemonade: Refreshing and perfect balance. Service was fast and items were reasonably priced. Highly recommend this place. read more

Finally an Onigilly in Daly City!! This shop is right across from Hollister, existing from Macy's. Ambiance: 4/5 Nothing fancy, just a shop in the mall. It was kind of awkward to wait for the food as there's no waiting area and you're kind of just in everybody's way walking by. Service: 4/5 Pretty much self-service as there are 2 kiosks to order from and they'd just hand you your order. We did have to wait about 20mins to get 7 onigilly but we didn't mind. Food: 5/5 The nori got soggy pretty quick so the whole thing fell apart pretty quick with 1-2 bites. But!!! All the fillings tasted fresh and tasty, so we were happy with the overall quality. read more

Onigilly is now open within Serramonte Shopping Center. It is ear Kay Jewelers and across from Waikiki (heading towards Macy's from the center of the mall). The service is fairly quick - they have two DIY tablets for you to scroll through and choose from. For a limited time only, they have a Buy One, get one for 50% off (discount code BOGO). I assume this expires on their second day of opening at 7pm since it's their opening weekend. The service is really fast just like the one in Stonestown - so I look forward to becoming a regular here (much easier to find parking compared to Stonestown). read more

I was excited to see that they opened up a location here at Serramonte as I frequent here more than Stonestown. I'm a fan of the snow crab onigilly but wanted to try the tuna and I knew that the chicken one was good because I tried it before. I love that this is an actual store front and not a booth situated in the middle of the mall and there's seating provided. I used the kiosk to order my onigilly and received my order within the next few minutes despite having a handful of customers ahead of me. I love nori seaweed and onigilly is a great snack option while browsing the mall. I appreciated that the Miso Tuna salad was proportioned with the rice and the aioli really balanced the wrap. The price point for both were budget friendly and I do think that I prefer this location over the Stonestown one! read more

Onigilly Japanese Kitchen - Miso Tuna Salad & Teriyaki Chicken Onigilly - Japanese Near Me - Daly City, California

I'm so pleased that Onigilly opened at Serramonte. I work nearby and this is another awesome lunch option. We used to go to the Palo Alto location but beyond that one I always try to stop whenever I see one in the wild. A problem with Daly City has been that the Japanese markets are all the way down in San Mateo or up in San Francisco. Daly City has been an onigiri desert - until NOW. Plus the Onigilly product is so good. I still dream of their snow crab onigilly, but the last few times I've tried to stay veg (other than Unagi which is basically a vegetable amirite) and omitted it from my trios. Love Onigilly. Yay. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Onigilly in Daly City. I ordered an item with pollock roe, and not long after eating it, I became very sick and was throwing up. It was an awful experience and definitely not what I expected. I can't say for certain what caused my illness, but based on the timing, I won't be returning. When serving foods like raw fish and roe, freshness and food safety are critical. I hope the restaurant takes food handling seriously so other customers don't have a similar experience. read more

Ordering in the tablet was fast and easy, the food came out fairly fast (around 10min for one onigiri order) the price was around 4.50 with tax included. I would say that the overall taste was great but the size did feel a bit small, other than that everything was good. read more

Onigilly Japanese Kitchen - Menu as of 12/31/2025 - Japanese Near Me - Daly City, California

The presentation of the food bowls was great. I had the custom bowl and my husband had the signature poki bowl. You have your pick of different items (protein, veggies, toppings and sauces) to include in your bowl. My husband was very happy w his poki bowl and I enjoyed mine. I did find the ginger beef and chicken (part of bowl) a bit too salty for my taste. Everything else that I chose was good: rice/mixed greens, tempura shrimp, edamame, cucumbers, carrots and cilantro. I loved the miso soup and had to order that separately. It was not complimentary like most Japanese restaurants offer. This was a Doordash order so I can not comment on service or ambiance but the order arrived rather quickly- a little less than 30 mins! We will def be ordering again read more

It was my first time at Onigilly. I ordered the tempura shrimp, and I really liked it. The service was great. After that, I decided to try the baked salmon and a strawberry lemonade. Everything was very delicious and filling. I honestly haven't tasted anything better before. I really enjoyed everything and will definitely come back! The only downside was that there were only two tables and four chairs available. I wish there were more seating options, especially since there seems to be enough space to add more tables and make it more comfortable for dining in. read more

Purchased 2 poke bowls from this location last night. We paid extra for protein but the bowl only had 11 pieces of tiny pieces of fish. I also requested half rice and half greens but there were barely any greens included. On top of that, the bowl itself was barely filled to the rim, which made the portion even smaller than expected. This was disappointing, especially with the additional charge. read more
