    Rice Signature Poke Bowl*
    VL L.

    So delicious food and affordable cost. Compared with many poke chains that are mostly rice plus sauce, this one has a much better topping-to-rice ratio. I'd absolutely order this again.

    A quick bite while hanging out at the great mall. I like that they have several vegetarian options to choose from. I had never had this kind of food before. Its kinda like sushi which I love but more rice heavy. We got the eggplant one and it was tasty but would have liked more stuffing. It also tastes quite fishy (maybe co of the seaweed). We also got the lemonade which was really good.

    I had heard a lot about Onigilly and finally decided to try it since it's inside the mall. It was def worth the visit. Some of the onigiri were decent, some were good, and a few were really great. My favorites were the Spam, spicy shrimp, and spicy tuna ,those were the best in my opinion. We also tried the vegetarian options, which were okay. Other good ones were the ume salmon and snow crab. Overall, it's a nice place with tasty food and definitely worth trying if you're in the area.

    To be honest, I'm pretty excited about all the new offerings at Great Mall lately which includes this Onigilly establishment. I first got to try Onigilly way back in the day at San Francisco and then was really excited it opened up in Valley Fair. Now we are blessed with a Great Mall location which is much closer than the other two for me. As it is relatively brand new, the store is bright and clean with pretty seamless ordering on the two kiosks located in the front of the store. The only pet peeve I can see here is that the receipt machine is shared between the two kiosks so you might have to awkwardly walk over the other machine to retrieve it. Food wise, I really think you cannot go wrong. There are various prices and various selections of Onigilly and others if you want. There is always something that will make you happy. I ordered 3 Onigilly's as a quick snack: - 2 Miso Tuna Salad - 1 Teriyaki Chicken It came out hot and I found it to be as delicious as I remembered it from the other two locations.

    I was somewhat familliar with Onigilly since I tried it a few times at Westfield? I ordered: Teriyaki Mushroom Tuna Salad Everything was good, I have no complaints whatsoever. If anything, Onigilly is the healthiest food place in all of great mall. In terms of calories and price consumption. If you don't want to spend much money on food, just get one or two rice balls here. Great bargain

    I wanted to grab a small snack for dinner, but for some reason I was craving the poke bowls. I really enjoy the varieties of onigiris. Custom poke bowl (5/5): I got the ginger salmon, tuna, and salmon. Not the most amazing, but really good for a onigiri place.

    Orders are taken via kiosk and you pick up the onigiris at the right side counter. Employees are nice. Prices are very reasonable, they range from $4-5 for each onigiri depending on whether you opt for a basic onigiri or a deluxe one. They also offer bowls, but I was looking for a small bite so I didn't get the chance to try one. There were so many options it was almost overwhelming but in the end we decided on the Spam Musubi and Snow Crab. The spam onigiri was underwhelming, but the snow crab was good and very flavorful. My main complaint was the rice itself being dry and almost hard. Not my favorite! Overall I kinda regretted going here over choosing something else in the mall to eat. I probably wouldn't return personally, but it's a decent option if you're considering a light, small, healthy bite.

    Excited to hear Onigilly has opened up at Great Mall. Came in at Friday for lunch. Their space is large and bright for take out counter service. They are located in between Old Navy and Potato Corner. Close to Jollibee mall entrance. There are two kiosks to self order. Give menu selection. Then you pick up the other when ready. We got the spam, baked salmon, unagi (eel), salmon ponzu poke and snow crab. Loved them all.

    Hopefully this spot is here to stay because there has been a high turnover at this spot the past decade. This place has the perfect snack if you want something quick, fulfilling and doesn't cost an arm and leg. Who doesn't love rice??? So many different onigiris to choose from! I haven't tried them all but so far I've loved every single one I've ordered. You can order yourself on the kiosk which is my favorite thing in the world because I do not like human interaction. The food comes out really fast and everything is made fresh. Not gonna lie, I wish they stuff more toppings inside because it's mostly rice but hey it's mall food so my expectations can't be too high. Of course onigiris are much cheaper at the Japanese supermarket but it's the mall and we are paying premium price for convenience and a good time so I don't mind. It's still a decent price compared to other foods at the mall. Overall, this is a great spot to grab something quick and fulfilling to eat at the mall!

    Great snack at the mall! The onigiri is delicious and reasonably priced. I like that you can collect points and eventually get a free spam onigiri. I tried the eel and spam onigiri, which was warm, seasoned and filling. I rather get this because it is definitely a healthier snack option at the mall.

    I was surprised to see a Onigilly here and had to make a stop. Slightly longer wait than I was hoping but the food was a good snack that hit the spot.

    For those on a shoestring budget and not over spend then Onigilly Japanese Kitchen is where is at serving healthy nutritious meals with fresh ingredients generous portions at a such a reasonable price so much so that I can't resist. Came by on a Thursday morning and I was greeted by a young gentleman placing an order is thru two self service service kiosk payable by debit/credit card. I chose one custom bowl with rice and mixed green, teriyaki chicken, soboro ginger beef with all veggies along with a cup of creamy sesame. When its ready for pick up they will called out your number on the printout receipt and I was blown away how large the bowl was with all the fresh veggies, toppings, rice and much more and yes they were very generous. Far cheaper than some of the poke bowls they charge and this is my go to for a healthy rich flavor proteins no fat no high sodium no MSG.

    Food: Ume Bowl with Ochazuke Set Price: $26 + $4.5…read moreOverall: I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary back in April! It is in the general area with Cere Tea and Koi Palace. We arrived around 6PM and were seated immediately. We came for the seafood don and both got the UME with an addition of the ochazuke set. For $26 + 4.5 for the set, I think it's really worth the price and you get a good amount of fresh fish. Each bite felt like I was transported to Japan and eating a Kaisendon. Although we had to wait for a bit for the dashi soup to arrive , it was a delicious end to our meal. So comforting and hearty.

    Finally got the chance to try Yaichi, the so called Bay Area Tsujihan for their massive seafood…read morerice bowls with ochazuke transformation and I have to say as someone who just came from asia and HAD Tsujihan, Yaichi is so much BETTER. Same quality but Bigger portions and better dashi, for about the same price? Sign me up. My girlfriend and I skated the potato salad appetizer - a delicious DIY experience that let you control the texture of your potato salad (though I feel I overmixed), and two take bowls which were MASSIVE - easily could have shared. The seafood was fresh, the portions generous, and maybe it's because I have a more Americanized palate, but the mixed seafood dashi was richer and paired much better than a mild seafood chazuke. Plus it came with shiso leaves and tempura crunchies so it was really no comparison. Overall this was a delicious meal that left me extremely full, unlike other seafood bowls that leave you just a little too hungry. Given the tastiness of their dashi, I'll def be back to try their udon. Also, as an added bonus, my dogs love the little dashi fish topper on their food they sell separately at the front. Love! --- Sweet: amazing dashi broth, delicious seafood bowls. Rare instance of a dinner living up to the hype Bitter: wish they had mini versions of their more deluxe bowls!!

    Dare I say it? This place had chicken katsu curry that was better than Curry Hyuga! And I don't say…read morethat lightly because I LOVE Curry Hyuga! The portion size of their chicken katsu cutlet was enormous, and I loved how perfectly cooked it was. The batter was the perfect thickness and super crispy, without being greasy in the least. And the portion of rice and curry was perfect. I don't love pickles, but I like that they give you some pickles on the side to cut through the richness. And I also really appreciated the miso soup with just enough wakame and tofu. The batter was a bit sweet, but only in an after taste. The curry is not super spicy, and I do wonder if there is a way to make it more spicy by adding oil, but it still had a good depth of flavor that paired well with both the rice and the fried chicken. We came early on a Wednesday for lunch, at 11:45, before the crowd, but by the time we left at 12:30, there were people waiting for tables. The inside is not huge, but they do have counter seating for single diners. The staff was friendly and efficient and speedy in presenting us our food on the beautiful trays. I kind of wish their water glasses were bigger because we had to wave down a server for refills. I will definitely be back!

    A friend and I were craving Katsu after an event in Santa Clara and decided to give this spot a…read moretry. The restaurant is pretty small, but clean and modern. Our order: - Popcorn Tofu - Chicken Katsudon - Tonkatsu Curry - Miso soup Food review: Popcorn Tofu -- DELICIOUS! The surprise highlight of the meal! The outside was crispy and nicely seasoned. Great fried tofu. (10/10) Chicken Katsudon - Didn't try this myself, my friend ordered and enjoyed, they just wish it came with sauce (so they ordered some on the side and enjoyed it) Keep it mind it comes with egg and is very filling! Tonkatsu Curry - Japanese curry is the perfect comfort food, and this was exactly how Japanese curry should be and exactly what I was craving. Katsu was perfectly crispy on the outside, good ratio. I think the pork could be slightly more moist, but the flavors was good and paired with the curry it was non issue. Very thick piece of pork so I had to take some left over and it stayed crispy the next day after reheating which is always a plus! (9/10) Miso soup -- comes with the sets but a perfect bowl of miso for me, nice way to start the meal. (10/10) Had a great time and a good filling comfort meal, would definitely come back again next time I'm in the area. Just make sure you come hungry!

    exceptional service. very unique take on sushi…read more The place is too crowded, small room, which is perfect for you to focus on culinary experience. I do not post any photo here or comment on the food. You should go and experience for yourself.

    I feel like I'm being gaslit reading everyone else's reviews.. I was so excited to try Ichika but…read moreit's ended up being the worst omakase experience I've had by far. And I've tried a fair share of omakase places. The prix fixe 9 course meal was $150 per person, and I personally feel the quality of the ingredients and overall seasoning of the dishes did not meet that price point. It was already a rough start with the appetizers. I'm also a texture person so maybe someone else would like these but I was not a fan of the vegetable jelly nor the goopy seaweed salad. Had I known this prior to dining I don't think I would have wanted to go with the omakase menu. The chawanmushi was very underseasoned and missing salt completely. On the menu it says it has crab in it but the only crab meat you get with it comes in a tiny claw that you have no way of digging out The nigiri, which I was most excited for, fell VERY flat. The fish wasn't particularly fresh and I found a bone in my nigiri. (??) The rice was also really dry and mushy. I was genuinely so disappointed at this. Miso sea bass was overly sweet which didn't really work with how fatty the fish was. It was too much. Also found more bones in the miso sea bass but that's less gobsmacking than finding it in your nigiri. The dessert, matcha tiramisu, just tasted like straight up cream and not sweet at all. I don't have a sweet tooth by any means but this could've used sugar. I didn't feel very good eating this, the fattiness of the cream plus not having any flavor ruined it for me :( Overall, the main theme is just the lack of seasoning in any of the dishes plus ingredients not being fresh. I know it's Kaiseki style, but the dishes also seemed very uninspired and plating was kinda messy. When I looked closely, the plates weren't clean and there were marks.. Maybe I'm being nitpicky but at a price point like this, the details matter. Word of advice, if you live in South Bay and want omakase, just take your $ and drive an hour up to SF. My bf took me here to celebrate our anniversary and I feel awful about how bad it was.. +1 star for the friendly service.
