ONIGIRI JAPAN — Restaurant in Calgary

Ok. This place is my go-to and may be my secret obsession. I have had everything at least twice. Its never let me down. I find myslef walking here from my office without even knowing it. Thats how good and cosistent the food is here ! Amazing portion! Poke here is hands down my favourite Poke place. The Salmon Poke with a mix of Gomae and spicy mayo sauce!! And they keepn choices simple not confusing like other poke places. And the sushi and onigiri here need honorable mentions as well! Service is great and quick. If you want a different sort of breakfast you have to try their breakfast special! Jason the owner/ chef is awesome too! Its tucked away in the Nexen building but worth the walk and youll definitley want to drop a pin on this place in your Maps. Onigiri takes my #1 spot for favourote lunch time places to eat! Prices are great as well for the portions. Enough said... going to polish off this Chicken Teriyaki Poke bowl! Update: just had their breakfast and now trying their special sushi box for today. Couldn't actually wait until lunch time. Awesome beautiful presentation! And tastes even better! Did I mention that the food at Onigiri makes me...

Run by a lovely Korean couple. Friendly and great service, however, I am not a big fan of their onigiris because they make them with vinegared rice (aka sumeshi). In Japan, onigiris are made with rice that are just lightly salted. Vinegared rice is only used for sushi (nigiri, inari, chirashi, etc.). They have poke bowls on their menu, so that might be the reason why they use vinagared rice for their onigiris, just for convenience's sake. For me, it was a little disappointing as I was expecting something more authentic. Also, I think the onigiris are overpriced considering the small portions, but the other things on the menu seemed...

I was craving onigiri and heard about this place so I had to visit. It hurt my heart to see this beautiful space empty due to the current situation, but this is about the food. I was skeptical when I saw the size of the onigiri, but soon came to appreciate the fact that you can eat 3 or 4 of them with a side and a drink and have a good lunch. The rice to filling ratio is perfect. The seasoning is spot on, and the flavour selection is pretty good.

If you don't like onigiri, they also have donburi, udon, and poké bowls.

The staff is super nice, and again, a clean and beautiful space. If you're downtown, please...
