Riceful — Restaurant in Berkeley

Believe me when i say i never leave reviews but this was so on point i decided to support this place by writing my first one.

I had the Unagi and Grilled Salmon Onigiri. I enjoyed both but i thought the salmon was better for this in specific. The Unagi was good but totally overpowered by the spam. The house sauce had a hint of sweet to it which worked great on the salmon and balanced the mayo, but the Unagi was already slightly sweet as it usually is so it kind of got tiring by the end.

The salmon was thick and well cooked. A little under seasoned but the house sauce and the mayo complimented well and was barely noticeable at all.

I highly recommend this spot if you looking for a quick snack/bite prior to a main course. They offer bowls and stuff but i have not had it.

Ill definitely come back again and try some of their other items. If you are adventurous with your food and don't mind eating with your hands, you will not be disappointed with the...

I ordered the onigiri with shrimp tempura, spam and egg. I have to be honest and say it was an unusual taste that I had not experienced before. It was not bad and the food portion was about the size of a sandwich, however not something I will want to eat again. I see why it is a popular fpod item and I understand the craving for spam, but this combo for me was not one I crave. The place is cute, clean, very Japanesy and there are more items to try. I would definetly recommend it to those who look for this kind of Okinawa-style, grab and go...
