Such a great lunch spot, and it's affordable too. I got the miso soup set with two onigiri (Spicy Miso Beef and Sweet Soy Salmon Poke). The salmon was definitely my favorite, it had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The food may not look like a lot at first, but the rice makes it surprisingly filling. The miso soup was also really good. The service was fast, & staff was friendly :) read more

I ordered the Zen Vegan Bowl along with three different kinds of onigilly shiitake mushroom, miso nasu, and teriyaki tofu and everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The service was good, and overall I think it's a great spot to stop at when you're at the mall and looking for something healthy, convenient, and filling. read more

The California, krab salad, and unagi braised eel were my favorites. The rice was soft, the seaweed had a nice crunch, and the fillings were good. The salmon was the one that fell a bit flat, as it was bland and didn't have much flavor. read more

So yummy and cheap! Probably best onigiri and bang for your buck! I don't ever talk to the people here, I just order from the kiosk. Sometimes hard to find seating if crowded because it's in a mall! read more

As a rice lover I was really excited to try out Onigilly in Valley Fair Mall for the first time! Nothing to say about the ambiance, this is a stand alone food kiosk, located near GAP Store and Marugame Udon. Good location, they have great traffic and it was pretty busy when I came to check them out. They offers variety of onigiri fillings from classic likes spam, teriyaki chicken to premium and deluxe likes salmon and snow crab. I ordered the Onigilly Miso Set (pick 2 Onigiri and a side of Miso Soup), my choice was Unagi and Spam. I waited for about 5-7 minutes for my order, staffs were quick and efficient during my visit. The food was packed neatly in a rectangle to-go container. I really like the miso soup, it have a great amount of seaweed and fresh soft tofu cube, but they can definitely go heavier on the miso paste, broth was quite bland. Onigiri's flavor wise, my unagi was bland, wish they added some unagi sauce on top of it, but on the other hand, the spam itself was really flavorful. I do prefer the rice to be softer, but the outer layer of seaweed have a great crunchy texture. Overall, I think Onigilly is alright, it was a convenient small meal/snack for me. I could see myself holding an Onigiri and enjoy it while going around a mall. read more

This is a nice standalone kiosk in valleyfair that offers a variety of onigiri. My favorite part is their rewards system! Taste: I like their simpler onigiri! The ones with plum can be a little salty for my taste. Service: You order through a screen and then make your order immediately. Very nice too :) Parking: This is located in valleyfair by ramen nagi. Parking is free for the first two hours. read more

Onigilly - Santa Clara - menu - Japanese Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Been here many times. I've ordered both at the kiosk and online, and online is definitely easy--you can walk around the mall and they'll just text you when it's ready, which is super convenient. I always get the spam onigiri. I know it's basic, but I love spam and honestly you can't really mess it up. Other favorites are the unagi, baked salmon, and tempura shrimp--all consistently good and flavorful. The only one I didn't love was the snow crab. It was a bit too mayo-heavy for my taste and kind of overpowered everything else. That said, I'd definitely keep coming back. Easy, quick, and reliable spot for a satisfying bite while shopping. read more

Four stars for the quality and taste of their food. It was easy to order through one of two kiosks on the side of Onigily - which is a smallish food vendor at the Westfield Valley Fair Mall. There were good descriptions of their menu selections including pictures. They mainly feature onigiri: meat/fillings inside rice and wrapped with seaweed. Unfortunately, I chose to try Onigily instead of a sit-down restaurant because many of those restaurants appeared packed with long-lines. Well, it took about 40 min. for my food to be ready for pick-up. There was no way to know this upon ordering. But I did receive a text when it was done. I did enjoy the two onigiri, chicken karaage, and shrimp tempura. I thought the prices were reasonable for the quality. But I would only try them again if I absolutely knew I would get my order within 15 minutes. read more

Wait was about 5-10 minutes with 2-3 people ahead of us. We ordered the bento set with 3 onigilly at one of the kiosks. The sides were all made well! The 3 pieces of karaage were juicy and the tamago was soft and sweet. The 3 rice balls we chose (spicy bacon, tarako - pollack roe, and ponzu salmon) all had the perfect texture of rice. The amount of filling in each wasn't really consistent - there was a lot in the spicy bacon (and it was pretty spicy) but not much in the ponzu salmon. Overall delicious though! read more

Crab 4/5 - it was good but I couldn't really taste the crab. It was overpowered by the sauce and there wasn't much of the crab Spicy roe 3/5 - this was disappointing. Get it at a Japanese market instead because the roe was tiny and you can't even taste much of it. Too much sauce. read more

I'm not normally a fan of onigiri in general, but our friend wanted to try it so to Onigilly we went! Ordering on a Thursday night around 8pm, it took 20ish minutes to get our order. There was a good amount of people here, so if you're coming and don't have time to wait, I suggest ordering in advance. Overall, the food was pretty decent. It fell apart after taking a single bite so I'm not sure if I was eating it correctly. Soy garlic salmon - 5/5 Spam - 5/5 Eel - 4/5 Spicy bacon - 2/5 It felt a bit expensive but I'd come back again! It's the perfect place to go when you want something light and to try food from multiple places. read more

Craving Onigiri and found this spot at Westfield mall since I was in the area. It's a big booth in the middle in front of Old Navy. They have meal bento 3 or 4 sets and plenty of sides and drinks but can be pricey compared to being in Japan. Bay Area prices! Select your meal at their two Kiosk stations but you may take time to select. Hopefully, no one gets impatient for those trying to decide what to get. I see many getting to go for their meal. Good selection. Two onigiri was good enough for me. My meal 4 onigiri bento was $22 as I added Kaarage. Adding kaarage chicken with only 3 pieces for $3.50 was not worth it. The onigiri was well filled with your selection of protein and rice was soft and flavorful. My onigiri flavors were good. I liked the spicy ponzu Salmon the best. Tuna and krab salad was good too but a little dry if not eaten right away. It's best to eat it fresh or within a few hours. Next day or reheating is no good. Since this was at the mall, it's hard to find a place to eat. There is no designated table seating for them only. Wish this was closer as this is a good quick meal that will make you full.

Really impressed with this spot in the mall! I went around 1pm on a Saturday and my food was ready in 5 minutes. I got the set of 3 (ume, mushroom, and eggplant) and each one was delicious! I actually couldn't even finish all 3 and saved one for later. For an onigiri, the portions are huge and come with a side too (either edamame or seaweed salad) As for ambiance, the counter itself is a bit small, but service was super quick and the staff were friendly, so it made for an easy, enjoyable meal while on the go. Perfect place if you're hungry or want something filling to share. Definitely going back! read more

Me and my boyfriend love eating onigilly and our first time trying it was at valleyfair fair. We order through one of the two kisok in the front and you can see the workers making your food too. They kept station and counter clean. Not much to say about service since we didn't interact much with the employee which is understandable, but they were very quick on making it which I appreciate. It was not busy so we didn't have to wait long, and we would get the custom four sets: two ponzu salmon poke and two spicy tuna poke! The ponzu salmon was creamy and savory, I enjoy this a lot. It is not overwhelming, and I feel so happy eating it. The spicy tuna poke is also really good, I can tell the tuna is fresh! read more

My husband bought some onigiris when I was at a nearby store. They're packed with filling so the rice wasn't overwhelming. I've had some pretty sad spam masubis recently so this spam onigiri was very satisfying. With the sauce inside it really pulled everything together! I had the spam and unagi onigiris. Both were good but I liked the spam more. My husband had the chicken and tempura shrimp. He said they were good. We didn't end up using the spicy mayo. read more

I was at the mall, walked by, and decided to give them a try. I picked: - Teriyaki Tofu [V] - Miso Nasu - Eggplant [V GF] - Hijiki - Braised Seaweed [V GF] Unfortunately, they were very mid. The best flavor was Teriyaki Tofu; it was seasoned well, but the Tofu onigiri at Clover is way better in comparison. The Hijiki was way too bland. The Miso Nasu was flavorful but way too mushy. I appreciate the variety of vegan options, but I think they need to step it up in terms of flavor and texture. They have two kiosks to order from and QR codes around the stand that you can also use to order. I found that people took too long to place their order, but once you got your order in, they were pretty fast at getting it to you. So they win in efficiency, even though they lack in flavor. read more

If you want a little snack while you roam the mall and Auntie Annie's just seems boring, head over to Onigilly. They have a huge selection of nori wrapped rice balls with generous amounts of the protein of your choice. We got the spicy miso beef ball and it was delicious. Served warm, the beef was tender and the rice was better than it looked. It was a bit spicy but that's on us for ordering it. You order on a kiosk so there's not much to say about the service other than the order came out quickly and accurately. It is just a kiosk so there's minimal seating around to enjoy the food. read more

Great for a quick snack. Got the unagi and snow crab and both were delicious. Cant wait to get more. Just wish there was wasabi for that spiciness it needs. Don't forget the yuzu lemonade. It's refreshing and not too sweet. read more

We were able to go through the line really quickly and overall speed of making the food was amazing. We do wish that the portions were a little bit better as more than 90% of roll was rice. The palo alto location is so much better. Not really any seating near but there is a ton of seating around the mall to enjoy. read more

Not bad as a quick snack at Valley Fair! I like how the onigiris are made to order, so it's not soggy when you get it. I ordered the Edamame Set with 2 Onigillys and chose the Snow Crab + Unagi (Braised Eel). I thought the Snow Crab was pretty dry, but the Unagi was good since the sauce helped flavor up the onigiri. read more

Had the chance and extra time to try this place as I was waiting for my glasses to be ready from Jin's. Super easy to order as you can explore the menu on their self serve kiosk. I got 3 onigiris of spam, teriyaki, and tofu. They'll text your phone once your order is ready. Took about 7-10 minutes for my order to be ready with a few people ahead of me. The food was fresh, delicious, and saucy. Would order from here again, very filling. read more

The bento with three onigiri with karaage, edamame, tamago, and tsukemono is a good deal, and we liked all three flavors we chose (ume, teri chicken, and hijiki). Took a while to get our food I think because of the karrage which came out hot and fresh. I just wish there were seats and tables nearby, but otherwise I recommend this spot for a quick bite. read more

Literally was craving onigiri and came across this place so why not give it a try? This place is located in a kiosk close by Old Navy and Auntie Anne's. Ordering is pretty straight forward, choose what you want on a screen and they text you once your order is ready. It only took about 5-10 mins for my order to come out! Freshly made so not bad! Quick snack before you go shop! I got a regular tuna and snow crab to try and it was very underwhelming. I felt like it needed more seasoning, some salt or something even the rice tasted very bland. It was disappointing bc most reviews said that it was the best thing they've ever had but mine wasn't as great as I've expected it to be. I can only hope that it'll be better the next time I try it. read more

Got the foodie week deal which was a good deal. They have unique flavors I don't see at Japanese stores. My favorite was the tofu teriyaki onigiri and I thought the potato croquette was tasty. The edamame and chicken karaage were normal. It's a nice option inside of the mall when you want something quick and don't want to wait in the long lines at the restaurants right next to it. Workers were nice too. Parking is super crowded mall parking that is free for 2 hours. read more

Onigilly - Santa Clara - Foodie Week Deal - $10 each. My fave: Teriyaki Tofu V - Japanese Near Me - Santa Clara, California

We loved Onigilly and always got it in SF, so were happy to get some while at the mall. The onigiri prices range from $4-5 each, and include many different fillings from chicken, pork, beef, seafood, and vegetarian. You can also order as a set of 2-4, or a 2-3 set with edamame or karaage. Note that some of the more premium fillings will cost $0.50-1 extra each when ordering as a set. The onigiri itself has a good ratio of rice to filing. Some of our favorites are the ginger beef, spicy shrimp, unagi, and spicy bacon. This time we got the bento set that came with karaage, 3 onirigi, edamame, and pickled radish. As a set, it's a pretty satisfying meal. Service was quick and ordering on the kiosk was easy. read more

Found myself at the mall on a weekday evening. Parking wasn't an issue and there weren't really any lines. This place is way more packed on weekends. Was trying to decide what to grab for dinner that might be light and healthy. Decided on Onigilly and grabbed a signature poke bowl. Ordering was pretty easy and the wait was pretty short. Pretty sizable portions for a reasonable price and the flavors were good! Loved the three scoops of poke and all the toppings! Got the salad and it was all very filling. Would absolutely return! read more

I actually really like Onigilly! I think it's the perfect mall snack and so affordable. Service can take a while when they're busy but they text you when your order is ready so you can wander and come back. I think the best veggie onigiri is the eggplant nasu one. My partner said of the meat ones he liked kaarage, snow crab and unagi the most in that order. Would recommend ! read more

Not a bad place to get a grab and go snack. I did an online order and it was ready in about 5 mins. I got the salmon poke and unagi. Both had seasoned rice and the seaweed was still pretty crispy on the outside. Decent amount of filling. Nice snack for about ~$5 depending on what filling you get. read more

Love that these are made super fresh. Hits the spot perfectly at a reasonable price point. Ordering is done via kiosk which allows for service to be faster making food. It can be pretty busy since it is located in Valley Fair mall. I got the ponzu ginger salmon poke and the unagi onigiris. Both 10/10 flavoring. However, I feel that the rice portioning was a little too much. The convenience and deliciousness of Onigilly definitely makes me want to revisit and try other things on the menu! read more

This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick snack and go whether I'm by myself or with other people. The employees here are so well organized and quick that it definitely beats waiting at the food court at the mall. You order yourself using the kiosk so the lines are pretty short. When it comes to the actual taste of food, this place never misses, with the amount of times that I've been there. I've always been really happy with how consistent their flavors are. There has not been a time where I ordered something that is my usual and it tastes a little off or different. It is pretty consistent. There's no place to sit and eat for here. It is a place that is more of a grab and go so it can get very loud being between a bunch of stores. While I do have my usual trio that I get for myself and my significant other, I have tried other items on their menu and I have to say this place has yet to miss, flavor wise. If you see this place, you should definitely give it a try. read more

Genuinely the worst service I've ever witnessed, absolutely disgusting. 3 workers running a kiosk sitting and hanging out in a group huddle. Workers completed making the food and instead of placing it in the box and giving it to us, the customers, they decided to fulfill multiple online pickup orders and huddle together to have a 5 minute hangout session right in front of everyone before ever even attempting to put the finished food in a box. After the food sat in the open for 6-8 minutes, the 3 employees finished their group conversation and decided to place the food in a box and hand the orders out. 0/5 service if I could! read more

I ordered their poke bowl, and for about 15 dollars I got a very good sized portion. They loaded the bowl with toppings and the fish, and the quality of the toppings were definitely up there. Everything tasted fresh, and the staff were very quick to get orders out despite being fairly busy. I will say the flavors were nothing out of this world, as the sauce was a little thin and didn't really stick to anything in my bowl, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was bad or bland. The bowl was yummy, and the quality of the fish was pretty decent considering it is coming from a food stall in the middle of a mall. Definitely a good option for a quick and easy lunch or dinner if you're walking around the mall. They have a variety of snacks and sides available, followed by a smaller selection of three different bowls for a more substantial meal. read more

Onigilly offers Japanese rice balls made with brown rice and your choice of your fillings wrapped in seaweed. From the menu, there are 3 types of filling - classic, premium, and deluxe. Their menu also have sides, drinks, and poke bowls. Their price is reasonable and this is more for a quick snack rather than a meal. They have vegan/gluten free alternatives as well. You order from the kiosks and you will receive a notification from your phone informing you that your order is ready. Fast service. The rice to filling ratio is not balanced for me though. I end up with just rice after a few bites. California (Deluxe $4.80) - Shrimp tempura and crab salad. Great combo, a classic, tempura was crunchy. Ponzu Salmon Poke (Deluxe $4.80) - Ginger-ponzu salmon poke & crab salad with furikake. Light, citrus, delicious! read more
