"The onigiri is very small with minimal fillings or flavor,that is why it is so much cheaper. The tiny jello drink was reasonably priced ($1.99) and was good(I recommend getting a different flavor tho).It is a very small place and is usually crowded so keep that in mind."

"This place is amazing. Shoutout Instagram Reels for bringing me here. I spent $5.88 for two onigiris (spicy tuna and salmon) priced individually at $2.80 and $2.60. Super affordable and delicious!! This is a gem tucked into a Japanese supermarket that contains an assortment of premade Japanese cuisine and Japanese food and home products. Next time I look forward to trying the tuna and mayo onigiri. The spicy tuna definitely took the cake between it and the salmon onigiri, although both were still good. My friend got a shrimp tempura onigiri which was also all the rage. They’re pretty big and filling. There’s no seating and it’s counter service so we walked 9 minutes to Battery Park and enjoyed our lunch there. I can’t wait to go back."

"- Stopped by for a quick lunch. - Got the bento special (that had two pieces of kaarage chicken, handful of edamame, and sweet omelette), spicy tuna onigiri, and the spam musubi. - Everything totalled $11.54, which wasn't bad. - The food overall tasted great. The spicy tuna onigiri was really rice-heavy and barely had filling. - Overall good experience. I anticipate to stop by again to try the other onigiris."

"It’s such a nice cute shop/eatery in midtown. The location is super convenient. Only one street south of the Grand Central Terminal. I tried their nigiri for the first time. I got salmon, spicy tuna, shrimp, chashu, and mentaiko ones. The size was perfect. You can tell from the generic shapes that they are most likely hand made. Overall, it’s a little bland. Good thing was that they cook the rice perfectly, and after chewing slowly over and over, you can taste the naturally sweetness of the rice. They also put somewhat generous amount of stuffing inside. I also got a spicy fried chicken don and a box of sushi. The spicy fried chicken was indeed quite spicy. The flavor was nice. The chicken pieces were also nicely cooked. It was about average. The sushi was actually surprisingly nice. I got it because of the after 7pm sale. All sushi was 15% off. The box I got had salmon roes, salmon, tuna, some kind of white fish, cooked shrimp, and eel. It also came with tuna and salmon rolls. It was pretty delicious. It’s not only a takeout spot. There is a ramen restaurant hidden inside. It’s also like a bodega selling goods imported from Japan, including cosmetic products, fresh produce, drinks, and snacks. It’s such a cute shop. I’d like to come back and try their other items."

"Went here for the first time for lunch. I was very crowded but the staff managed to maintain the place moving in a fast and orderly manner. Had a bento box which was good. Will continue coming here to try other Japanese goodies."
