Delicious! You order and pay at the kiosk and wait at the other end of the counter for your order. My only complaint is that there is nowhere to sit nearby. I had to go upstairs into the food court to find seating. read more

Onigilly Japanese Kitchen - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

For the price, and convenience factor this place is great for a quick snack. The prices are really good for one onigiri prices range from $3.99 to $4.99. Lots of options for a snack or a meal. Quick, fast, and friendly service. Can order off one of the two automated machines. Place was in the middle of a busy mall. Seems like a good location. The shop looks modern and a little futuristic. 5 stars spam onigiri. Tasted good. Nicely cooked. Sauce tasted good. No complaints. For the price was worth it. 5 stars snow crab onigiri. A little surprised but this tasted good and fresh. This was a little better than expected and for the price this is great. read more

Ahhh! The same o' zen bowl I once personally have back in Kearny St! Gotta have variety in one bowl instead of having the same meat and seafood cubes that make a meal comfortable. Edamame, carrot strips, hijiki, cucumbers, you name it, you choose it. With free cup of miso soup to-go, why must I include a beverage of choice? Onigilly, at the very center of Stonestown Galleria, would never disappoint everyone's palates. The best kitchen replaced the coffee shop to receive the center of attention. The atmosphere that surrounded Onigilly with fresh, umami scented, ingredients could make quite a spectacle. Highly recommended. read more

Onigilly Japanese Kitchen - Zen Vegan Bowl with miso soup! - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

The spicy tuna and unagi onigiri was really good! Just wish they had more pieces of spicy tuna. The kabocha pumpkin croquette was really yummy as well. Need to give 2 packets of sauce instead of one. The item that was disappointing was their signature poke bowl. Not sure what happened here but the salmon and tuna was pretty warm....usually raw fish shouldn't be like that and it tasted a little fishy. I would pass on this and only get the onigiri. I don't really think they needed to add that extra SF mandate fee since this isn't like a restaurant and I don't think they do that at other places in the mall. read more

I came here yesterday and got to try their onigiris. I got the salmon onigiri, unagi onigiri, and they spicy tuna onigiri. I also tried their pumpkin croquette and it was so tasty! All three were delicious! I came back to try their poke bowl. I was pretty disappointed since it didn't taste as good. Overall, I recommend trying their onigiris here not their poke bowls. read more

Randomly stopped at this spot on a walk home. They were so quick and had so many different onigiri options/flavors. We got a spam and eel and both were so tasty. They were decent in size too. I would recommend! read more

Ordered a combo set of 2 baked salmon + 1 teriyaki chicken onigiri with edamame, chicken karaage, pickled radish and egg. Convenient ordering via a machine. Priced around $15-$16. Service was quick.

I don't normally eat onigiri often, but I was getting a little hungry waiting around for my family to shop lol. I was standing nearby; this establishment was right in the center of the mall and it seemed to be a quick service. I got the tuna mayo and crab salad, while my boyfriend got the chicken teriyaki. The wait wasn't too long, about 5 minutes or so. I thought I wouldn't get full off of one, but I did! The tuna mayo was really good and definitely filled me up. My boyfriend enjoyed his chicken teriyaki onigiri and he also ended up eating my crab salad onigiri too haha. I'll definitely stop by again when we're at Stonestown! It's fast, convenient, and delicious! read more

The kiosk monitors are big and easy to work with. The store is clean and well situated in the center of the mall. Close to the entrances too. I will be back again soon read more

We stopped by Onigilly for a snack, a little musubi. The prices are very good, the space is clean. You order from a large screen, it's very quick and efficient. We got 2 spicy tuna poke musubi, it includes crab salad and furikake. They were very big, I thought the fish and crab was a good pair. It was a little spicy, if you don't like spice maybe not for you. I was really happy with the musubi. The rice was nice, not too mushy. This is a solid filling snack for $5-6. If you have a chance, I highly recommend stopping by for a musubi! read more

Got a custom bowl and chose my proteins but when I got it, it was filled to the top! Highly recommend going for the custom bowl versus getting a default bowl as you seem to get more bang for your buck ($16.7 after tax). Staff were friendly and greeted me as well as told me to have a nice day. read more

Snack or meal, super simple and easy to eat. Choose from bowls, combos, or just one item. Can't miss the place since it's at the center of the escalators. Weekday lunch had no line, but weekend usually has lines. Order at kiosks on the side of the upstairs escalator, the left hand side, and pickup is on the right hand side. Baked salmon onigiri was $4.70 (surcharge included). Received my order quickly. Mostly a to go place, luckily there's seating on the second floor food court. The nori (seaweed) was crunchy as you ate the onigiri. There's plenty of baked salmon throughout my bites. Was not too salty or vinegary either for the rice. Definitely pretty filling snack/light lunch. read more

Super Quick. Seaweed is nice and crisp. Rice is a little hard. Love that they have a reward system and mark GF/veg on their menu. Got the miso Eggplant and Spam onigiri. Both had nice flavor though I liked the salty sweet of the spam better. Nice option for a quick bite. read more

We were craving a snack in the mall and between 2 people we shared their snow crab and unagi onigiri. Both were good, but the seaweed was not crispy at all, even though we ate it right away. The protein in the onigiri was tasty, and we both preferred the unagi one, since it was more flavorful. Service was pretty quick. read more

I was actually coming back from lunch when I realized I wanted a drink before driving to the East Bay. I ended up ordering a drink and two items since the menu sounded pretty fire. I picked up a simple spam onigiri (to try the rice) and the spicy bacon and egg one- my snacks didn't even make it back home with me. Ate them as soon as I got in the car. The lemonade was good as well. Definitely bookmarked for next time! read more

I just wanted to grab a quick midday snack before dinner. Hubby suggested I get the snow crab as I love crab. There was only 1 person ahead of me. I should've asked the staff what was fresh that day but maybe they might not know. The portion is decent and the rice was still warm. After tax, it was over $5 for the snow crab onigilly but i wouldn't order again. Theres also a 4.25% SF mandate charge. One bite and you could tell the crab wasn't fresh or it was canned crab. It didn't taste spoiled but it was fishy. Having bought 2 fresh, live crab from the wharf fishermen a couple weeks ago, this crab meat was subpar in taste. I might be willing to return to try a non seafood one next time. read more

First time trying this food booth inside Stonestown Mall. It's a good place if you want to eat something quick. There's nothing really too special with the wraps. The rice to meat ratio could be a little better since I feel like there's a lot of rice. read more

Onigilly Japanese Kitchen - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Onigilly turns the everyday onigiri into something special. The rice is soft yet holds its shape, lightly seasoned and balanced with crisp nori. Fillings are fresh, thoughtful, and never heavy--each triangle feels like a perfect little snack. The shop itself is sleek and minimal, keeping the focus on the food. Simple, precise, and satisfying--Onigilly is where you go when you want quick snack. read more

So happy there's an Onigilly close to me now! *_* It's right in the middle of the mall on the first floor so very hard to miss. Service: Not much interaction between staff members because there are 2 kiosks to order from and they'll send a text for you to pick up. Food: They put in A LOT of stuffings on the inside -- much more than other locations -- but the presentation is very sloppy. See pictures for reference. Taste-wise; Very consistent with other locations. Snow crab and spicy shrimp were delicious! Chicken karaage was soggy and mostly breading. read more

I've been on a high protein/low carb diet for health purpose... but this is the place where I break my diet. I love their salmon poke origini and tuna poke origini... but I definitely think their miso nasu (eggplant) is an underrated charm. Yes, it's vegetarian offering but the flavor from the miso eggplant filling is superb. And origini is not just about the filling... rice is equally important. rice isn't just cooked perfectly but the rice ball was pressed with the right amount of pressure - so they aren't mushy but at the same time, not falling apart after one bite. So far the quality is still pretty good even after it first opens... so hope they will keep up with the quality at this location! :D read more

I think the riceballs were really good for a fast tasty meal! Super filling and on the cheaper side too! read more

IMPROVED FLAVORS! Second time round I ordered the same onigiris and noticed the flavors are more flavorful in a delicious way. If you like sour, definitely get the sour plum onigiri! Goes well with the salmon. So good. If you love mushroom flavors you got to try the shiitake mushrooms onigiri. Tastes very earthy mushroom-y with lots of juice. The onigiris seem shorter and beefier in size. More visually aligned to the American food design! NICE AND TIGHT While the seaweed wraps were not crispy bc of the warmth of the onigiri, I loved that the onigiri held together well with each bite. No messy spills. No bits of rice falling. I appreciated that. FAST FAST Last time it felt slower. This time with same amount of people in line it felt 1-2 minutes faster to get my order. CLEAN AND CLEAR No icky counters or screens. I hope it stays this way. read more

Onigilly Japanese Kitchen - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Not worth your time. I'm not expecting Japanese level onigiri, especially from a kiosk, but I was expecting at least something reasonably close to what you can find in Japantown. The rice is dry, the onigiri easily falls apart and the filling leaves to be desired. Still a low price for a quick snack if you are around. Just don't be surprised if you are disappointed. read more

Freshly made onigiri on the spot? Yes, please! Every time I'm at Stonestown Galleria, I make it a point to stop by Onigilly for a quick bite. Their snow crab onigiri is hands down my favorite because it is so fresh and flavorful. The bacon egg one, however, isn't my cup of tea; the heavy use of ground pepper makes me feel like I need to chug a liter of water afterward! With so many options to choose from, the best thing to do is trial and error until you find your favorite. Located right in the heart of the mall on the first floor, it's super easy to find. Ordering is simple with their kiosk system, and the wait time is usually short unless someone indecisive is in front of you then it becomes a waiting game haha! My only suggestion? More seating nearby! It can get a bit awkward standing in the middle of the mall trying to enjoy your onigiri. Overall, Onigilly is a fantastic spot for a fresh and satisfying snack while shopping. read more

Saw this place pop up at Stonestown a while ago and decided to check it out since I was craving something light and healthy-ish! I ended up getting the Bento Set with Teriyaki Chicken and Ponzu Salmon Onigilly. The Bento set came with edamame, tamagoyaki (omelette), chicken kaarage and takuan (pickled radish). The entire set tasted fresh and wasn't too oily which I appreciated! The Onigilly was also a decent size :) Onigilly is located right near the mall's main entrance. The place also looked very clean. There aren't any seats specifically for this place but there are many seating areas around the mall, including the food court upstairs! You can place your order through their tablet menu. Staff members were nice and the wait for my order was very quick! read more

I got the crab onigilly and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. I thought the rice might be too much, but everything was layered just right. The seaweed added a nice saltiness and crunch, which gave the whole thing great texture. The crab was flavorful and well-balanced--not too fishy, just really satisfying. Simple, tasty, and something I'd definitely get again. read more

Super convenient location inside of Stonestown. Easy to order - there are two kiosks that takes your order with images and prices - this greatly reduces confusion! Their prices are clear and they offer "sets" to make it even easier if you're not picky. I opted for the premium and deluxe onigilly and separate ones for the side dish options. I also ordered drinks to go with my food since who passes on yuzu lemonade?! read more

this is our go-to for a quick grab and go meal (well, order ahead if you can.) It's the easiest meal for us and the kids. We usually get the California, salmon poke, beef...ume They're pretty tasty and decently filled well. Probably would skip tuna salad, it was dry. The bacon and eggs is spicy, so not good for kids. Stonestown is getting better and better but this is a great option for those with kids! We will definitely be back. And order ahead online. The line can get long. read more

When I heard Onigilly was opening in the center of Stonestown I thought it was a genius move and a great new addition on top of many new establishments settling inside the mall. Now, to compare the Onigiri's to Onigiri's from Japan is a bit much. Is it authentic and greatly priced as if you were in Japan? Of course not. But are they at least flavorful and good? In my opinion, yes! I actually think the pricing of the combination sets are great as well and pretty filling. I also appreciate that the ratio of filling to rice is good. I was expecting more rice than filling but it was packed well with choice of protein. *What I ordered: Edamame/Pickled Radish with 3 "Onigilly's" (Onigiri) *What I chose: Spam (8/10) *It's spam. How can you do spam wrong???? Baked Salmon (9/10) *My favorite one! Baked perfectly and did not taste fishy Miso Tuna - (7/10) *In fairness, I am not much of a tuna salad person but for some odd reason, I was craving tuna salad and this actually did not disappoint. Add a pickled radish on top and it offsets the tuna taste and is the perfect bite. I was reading some of the reviews, and thankfully, I did not experience soggy seaweed. I actually experienced a good crunchy bite of seaweed. Is the rice perfect? No, but it was not soggy or overly cooked as well. I am looking forward to going back again! read more

I saw someone eating this in the food court today and had to try for myself and discovered the new kiosk downstairs in the main mall lobby. Fortunately the line was short and went quickly today with all the rain so I didn't wait too long to order or for the food to be made but I can how YMMV depending on how busy the mall is. I got the unagi and the salmon ponzu poke onigiris. I really wasn't the biggest fan of the unagi - the meat was as hot as the rice and the consistency was like a shredded teriyaki chicken. The salmon ponzu poke was incredibly flavorful and almost tangy and paired well with the crab and warm rice. As the other reviews mention, the flavors seem to either hit or miss and not surprisingly with the number of options to chose from. I could see myself grabbing one or two of these as a quick snack or meal if I'm at the mall but don't see myself waiting in a long line for it or going out of my way. read more
