Teriyaki salmon Onigiri!
Leslie S.

I was so happy to see this new restaurant pop up in the food court! I love onigiri but their availability is very limited. Especially for the good quality ones. I was greeted by a very pleasant employee who helped me order since it was my first time visiting. She recommended the teriyaki salmon for my flavor and it did not disappoint! I loved it! I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered one onigiri and it was the perfect amount of food. I would definitely only need 2 to be full. The seaweed was fresh and crispy and the seasoning on the rice was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back here again soon!! Next time with a bigger appetite!

Location at the mall

It hurts to share our experience because we really really want to love this place. Unless you're ordering a poke bowl, the onigiri take a very very long time. People who ordered after us and also ordered onigiri received their food before we did. The poke bowl was quick. Compared to other poke places, it was too much rice and not enough of the fish, veggies and other components. The fish pieces were sinewy and flavor wasnt good. We ordered four onigiri - two salmon, one beef bulgogi and one tuna. Again the ratio of rice to everything else was off (too much rice) and the tuna one was sour. We couldn't eat it. It's in the mall food court so there's plenty of seating. We tried the Ladera Ranch location before and liked the food. Our order was accurate so I'll give credit for that aspect. But for the price and disappointing experience, we won't be returning to this one.

Loved having a healthier option at the food court at the mall in Mission Viejo! Service was excellent. Made a 4 protein poke bowl. Love the unlimited topping choices you can add. Came out to under $19. I could definitely make two meals out of a bowl. The protein was fresh. No stomach ache as per previous poke places -- win!!! Hubby got the truffle corn. He liked it. Food court ambiance. Quick & comfy booths to eat in.

So we all got what we wanted to eat at the food court tonight. My sister wanted to try OniGuru, a new poke place just popped up in the food court of Mission Viejo mall. She got a bowl and some rice balls. Not sure what flavor her husband and her got but they liked it. I was going to order something there at first, but when I approached the counter, the smell of raw fish discouraged me from ordering. For as much as I like fish, I just do not enjoy that fishy smell of raw fish.

Yum  bowl with three proteins

I work at the Lenard Cancer institute near by and the ladies have been awesome and so helpful. I've tried this place a few times now and not disappointed at all!!!

This place deserves 10 stars! Everything from the people who work there, the food and the fresh ingredients they use are amazing! It's been a while since I had Onigiri, there are not many places in Orange County. When I saw this cute place, I had to try it. I'm so glad I did! The Onigiri trio was amazing, the girls were the sweetest and helped me to decide what to get. It's so refreshing to have a different option in the food court. It was my first time, but for sure not the last. They now have a regular, I'm hooked! You guys are awesome, see you soon:)

Hawaiian salmon, salmon, and all their toppings offered.

Absolutely delicious AND the kindest staff you could ever ask for!! I eat only here now when coming to mission Viejo mall. Everything fish and food is fresh there too. You have to try this place!!

Sea Salt Edamame Tuna Mayo Onigiri Yuzu Citrus Mint Lemonade

Definitely a hidden gem. The owner was super sweet and patiently explained the whole menu. The food was packed with protein, the edamame portion was huge, and the lemonade was insanely good. Will definitely be back!

Poke Bowl (S)

They had the sweetest staff and the food was amazing!! They gave very generous portions for their poke bowl and did not skimp on the fish which tasted amazing I definitely will be coming back

This place is just awesome. The onigiris are just perfect and very fresh! Definitely recommend this place.

Small poke ball with 3 protein options
Asal P.

The food was actually good. I took off a star for the prices. $17 for a small poke bowl is too much. They were out of cucumber but otherwise everything tasted great and fresh. It's nice to have a healthy option at Mission mall at least. The staff was nice and helpful. It's located in the food court next to paradise bakery.

Loved the poke, fresh ingredients and great flavor. Would totally get it again. The owner was so nice, she was so helpful!!

Oniguru Restaurant

Absolutely amazing experience! We visited Oniguru at The Shops at Mission Viejo as a family my wife, our daughter, and we loved everything we tried. Our daughter sampled four different onigiri flavors and enjoyed each one. My wife had the beef bowl (the portion was huge, so we even had to take some to go!), and I tried the poke bowl. This way we got to taste a bit of everything, and all of it was truly delicious. The staff and the owner were incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. The restaurant was super clean. We left very satisfied and have definitely found a new spot we'll be visiting regularly. Highly recommended.

There are some outdoor seatings and indoor seatings available. The service is prompt, efficient, and very friendly. My orders are always ready upon arrival. Usually in less than 10 minutes, if that. I super appreciate their sense of urgency. Now the food itself is also something noteworthy in my opinion. The chicken and avocado salad came with generous portions of perfectly ripe and sliced avocados. The salad dressing was something I didn't expect I enjoy so much. I am hooked! Please sell them by the gallons! I will buy it weekly! The avocado rolls also came with very generous portions of perfectly ripe avocados. Not a blemish in sight and very fresh and tasty. I actually ended up getting full just eating them by itself first. The grilled salmon bento is a must order. I loved how the salmon was cooked. The sauce wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated. I am glad I ordered mine with extra avocado. It made for a very filling meal. The dumplings were also delicious and the 4-pc California rolls were such a nice contrasting side kick. The salad came with their wonderful dressing too! I didn't expect the accompanying soup complimenting the meal so perfectly. The best $20 something meal I spent in awhile! I am looking forward to revisiting again this week and trying out their other menu items. The location is right off of 5 Freeway exit and in the same shopping center as Target and Kona Loa Coffee which makes for a really good spot to get food from on-the go.

If you're anywhere near Mission Viejo and craving great sushi at a price that won't make you blink,…read moredo yourself a favor and try Koko Sushi. 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.

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.

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 don't think many restaurants offers cold soba option so if you never tried it, here is the probably the best place in south OC to give it a shot. This restaurant is located in a large plaza so there are plenty parking. The wait is usually not long at all. I have been here a few times with my family during lunch and dinner and it is never that packed. I think it is located in a pretty secluded area so it is not busy but the food is very good. The decor is simple but clean and has many tables. This most recent visit I ordered the marinated beef hot udon and my daughter ordered the Kakiage cold udon. I didn't know what Kakiage is so the staff kindly educated me that it is a ball of Tempura vegetables. Please don't mix it up with Karaage which is Fried Chicken. They are two different dishes. The broth of my beef udon is deep with umami flavor. The soup base has a legit dashi flavor, not the instant udon flavor. You can tell the difference right away. We also ordered the grill squid. The grill squid is tender and has a unique tastes like the dried squid snacks that I get from the Japanese market. The staff even offered hot water for my daughter's left over dipping sauce. She mixed her dipping sauce with hot water to drink it as a soup. Overall the food is great and we'll definitely be back for more.
