    I have had a delicious treat for the night and it filled me up like a full-course meal. The suchi are fulfilling dispute the size it does a great job filling once hunger. I recommend a bit of everything because it's possible to eat it all. The place is clean and the service is fast.

    A lil pricey for rice balls, but it was good to give them a try. They have a few high top tables inside, which can accommodate up to 10 people, but it seemed like they were pretty popular for takeout. After ordering, it does take a bit of time to prep. I think we waited about 30 minutes for our food to arrive. We tried a little bit of everything with an order of the Quartet ($16.59): - 2x KBBQ Prime Beef; $5.49 a la carte - 1x Teriyaki Salmon; $5.49 a la carte - 1x Tuna Mayo; $4.99 a la carte The rice ball size is pretty big and seasoned with furikake seasoning, but they aren't packed very well. After the first bite, the onigiri will fall apart, so keep a spoon handy. Beef and tuna were good, but the salmon teriyaki fell flat. 1) why is the salmon teriyaki so saucy 2) husband kept saying it was chicken teriyaki lol When I think of poke, I think of the protein, sauce and toppings all mixed together before setting on base. However, everything was assembled as layers and they were a bit heavy handed on sauce. The bottom of my bowl felt a lil soupy, so I'd opt to get sauce on the side next time. This was my order for a 3-protein poke bowl ($14.99): - Base: Brown Rice & Salad - Protein: 2x salmon and 1x hawaiian salmon - Sauce: Ponzu, Spicy Mayo and House (you can choose up to 3) - Toppings: cucumber, masago, seaweed, pickled jalapeno, cherry tomatoes (you can choose 5) - Crunchies: furikake and nori Overall, it was nice to check it out, but it won't be our first choice for this type of cuisine.

    Hawaiian Salmon HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    This is the best Poke spot from Ladera to Irvine. HANDS DOWN. The food is so fresh, the Hawaiian salmon was delicious. The owner is so awesome. But the food. High quality. Super yummmy. Loved it and making this the usual rotation poke spot.

    Saw this place listed number one on my recommended list. Ended up taking a night drive with my wife from 15 minutes down the road wanting to try this place out. Initially came for the onigiri because why not? But came in for a classic poke bowl, can't go wrong with it. This place is called ONIGURU after all, so don't forget to get a side or onigiri. Love the play on wordsand love the atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service was great. In the picture: Left: Poke Bowl (S) Double Spicy Tuna and Hawaiian Salmon with masago, crab meat, fried onions, and seaweed flakes. House Sauce, Ponzu, Spicy Mayo Right: Poke Bowl (S) Spicy Tuna, Hawaiian Tuna, Hawaiian Salmon with masago, scallions, fried onions, seaweed flakes, sesame seeds, chili flakes. Spicy Mayo, House, Teriyaki, Sesame Oil Definitely willing to come back for multiple orders of onigiri

    First time we tried Oniguru and my daughter Loved it. We ordered quartet with beef, tuna, salmon and shrimp and the boba milk tea. Thank you. Will recommend to friends.

    OniGuru, as the name would imply, sells Japanese onigiri as well as rice bowls and poke. However, I was primarily interested in the onigiri, as we don't have many options in this side of OC. My sister and I both tried the tuna mayo, KBBQ, crab salad, and teriyaki salmon. Tuna Mayo (2.5/5) was decent, but a little disappointing. I was excited to try this flavor, since it was my favorite during my trip to Japan. I think that there wasn't enough mayo and the tuna didn't taste as fresh. KBBQ (3/5) was about what I expected. Good, but I probably would not order it regularly. Crab salad and teriyaki salmon (4/5) were the best flavors, in my opinion. I gobbled these two for brunch. They were creamy, and full of flavor. I love onigiri and I'm so happy that we finally have an onigiri place in south OC. With a few tweaks, I think that this can easily be part of my regular food rotation whenever I'm in town.

    Oniguru is hands down one of my favorite finds! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite feels thoughtfully prepared--especially the onigiri, which is next-level delicious. But what really made my visit special was Zeynep. From the moment I walked in, she welcomed me with warmth and genuine care. Her energy, attention to detail, and clear passion for hospitality made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. Zeynep is the kind of person who turns a great meal into an unforgettable visit. I'll absolutely be coming back--partly for the amazing food, but just as much to see her again. Oniguru is lucky to have her!

    I'm not usually a fan of Chinese food (I tend to get a lot of headaches) - but wow, yum!…read more My optometrist is located in the complex next to Tian Tian and I had a bit of a busy day, so placed an order through their website for pick up. I was happy that it was ready in about 10 minutes! I opted for one of the lunch bento boxes with orange chicken and Mongolian beef. I preferred the chicken; the beef cut wasn't to my liking - but the chicken was so flavorful! The combo was also served with white rice. I was able to make about a meal and a half out of it, which I appreciated. There are a decent amount of tables inside; you can also order for take out.

The staff said it would be "just a few more minutes." Twenty minutes later--at 7:35 pm--I was still waiting with nothing but repeated apologies. What frustrates me most is the lack of honesty. If they had been upfront and told me it would take another 20 minutes, I could have run an errand or waited elsewhere instead of standing around getting increasingly annoyed. On top of that, when I finally received the order, the food wasn't properly placed in the bag. The bag was covered in grease and everything was messy, making a poor end to an already frustrating experience. Beyond disappointed. For a restaurant dealing with hot food and timed pickups, basic honesty about delays and better attention to packaging would go a long way

I've had lunch here twice now since my office is nearby, and after searching for the past year for a go-to spot, I can confidently say I've found it. The space is clean, welcoming, and comfortable, exactly what you want when you're stepping out for a quick but satisfying lunch. The food? Consistently delicious. The sashimi is fresh and clean, with that perfect melt-in-your-mouth quality. The chicken teriyaki is also very good, flavorful, tender, and generously portioned. And the lunch combo is the real standout: about $14 gets you your entrée plus miso soup, salad, and rice. In this area, that price simply can't be beat. On top of that, sushi chef Luke is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Great service makes a big difference, and he absolutely delivers. It's clear they care about both the food and the customer experience. Amazing value, fresh food, friendly service ! We need more places like this.
