"We really like the miso beef onigilly. It came with a little bit of edamame and pickled daikon. Perfect snack for two. They have a self serve checkout which was slightly confusing. Minimal interaction with staff but they were helpful when needed. The restaurant itself was nice, but the shared restroom down a hallway in the back was a bit grimey. Overall I loved it and wish we had one in my neighborhood."

Mediocre food but the two piece miso is a good steal for the quantity.

I wasn't sure what to expect here since I've never had this type of meal before, but I was pleasantly surprised and will visit when I'm in the area next. If you like sushi, you'll like this. I tried the 3 piece box and selected the eel (which I liked the most), spicy bacon and lean salad.

Great Onigiri. We like to get the bento boxes and then take them for a picnic. I like the karaage side the best. The best onigiri in my opinion are the ume and spicy shrimp. My toddler enjoys having bites of everything. Onigilly is on the expensive side but I don’t know that many other places nearby to get onigiri.

"We wanted a hole in a wall place to have lunch while in this area. We looked up this place ahead of time and headed over here after our morning activity. Has their own lot and two men and women restroom located outside in their parking lot. Indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for indoor and the man who checked us in got us a high chair for our little one. Lamented menus and the decor is very outdated and homey. Service is a minimal which we are perfectly fine with. The food took a while to come out even though we arrived shortly after they opened at 11am and it wasn't overly busy. Yaki Onigiri $6.95 (2 pieces. Grilled rice balls, soy sauce butter flavored, no filling Well done. All three of us were able to enjoy this. Came out pippin' hot! Dohatsuten Ramen $16.25 (Spicy garlic minced pork, shredded chili, chashu pork, stewed taro pork, cabbage, carrots, green onions, chives, bean sprouts, nori seaweed, half egg My husband's. He enjoyed it. Taro Pork Ramen $15.95 (simmered tender pork belly, green onions, bean sprouts, spicy bamboo shoots, nori seaweed, half egg* extra noodles. We both got ours with Tonkastu broth. Unfortunately, I felt like the broth was spicy. I don't like spicy and we came with our toddler in which I was sharing my noodles with. I can eat spicy but it doesn't make my dining experience enjoyable. My pork belly was soft and delicious. We won't be coming back unfortunately as I don't want to be surprised by a spicy broth. Price point is good."
