    Really glad this place opened up in my neighborhood. Great spot when you want a snack and nothing too heavy to eat. I love the Crab Onigiri. Something I notice is the wait can be longer than expected, around 15 minutes because they make everything fresh. The wrapping can be tricky but once you understand how it works, it's super easy. The service has always been very kind.

    I had to check this place out after finding out about them on instagram. Onigiri and other Taiwanese foods? Challenge accepted. I like that you can order the mystery onigiri and that the price point for all of their food is great. I'd love to go in-person but did delivery this time. The onigiri arrived with the rice still warm and fresh. The tea egg was amazing too. I'll definitely be eating more of their food in the future.

    Chicken teriyaki: not overly sweet, nice and umami with a touch of ginger. Miso soup was the perfect pairing and get the combo for a good deal. They really nailed the flavors here, I'll be back to try more! One of the rare spots in SF to get a filling meal for $10.

    Do-Re-Mi is my favorite onigiri shop! When I asked the owner which onigiri was the best, she told me that everyone has different favorites depending on their taste and that every flavor is delicious. All of their onigiri are made in a homemade style with great attention to quality. At first, I thought she was just trying to get me to buy more onigiri, but in the end, I decided to order all of their recommended flavors! I also ordered drinks. The owner recommended the Chrysanthemum Tea because it's caffeine-free and great for kids. I also ordered the Thai Tea and Hong Kong Lemon Tea, and they were all delicious. Many of my friends asked where I ordered everything from, which was very different from my kids' previous birthday parties. I was so happy that everyone loved the food and drinks. I picked up my order at 10:00 AM, and all of the onigiri were still warm and freshly made. I first discovered Do-Re-Mi on Instagram and decided to order catering for my 7-year-old son's birthday party at the park. It was a huge hit! I received so many compliments from my friends, and everyone loved the onigiri. They were the perfect food for both kids and adults. The owner was incredibly kind and thoughtful. They labeled all of the onigiri for us, which made everything so much easier. The kids had so much fun figuring out how to unwrap them, and some of my guests chose the mystery onigiri. I ordered a couple of mystery onigiri, and every single one was different and absolutely delicious! Based on the feedback from the other parents, they were amazing--but I didn't even get a chance to try one because they were gone within minutes! The onigiri made my son's birthday party extra special and memorable. Highly recommend Do-Re-Mi for catering, parties, or just a tasty meal. We'll definitely be ordering again!

    Ok yeah that was incredibly beast. Pretty good prices, got the tea egg which was actually sooo yummy. Only thing I would say was it was a little extra saucy which I usually like, but that's how you know it's very very saucy

    Visited on a Saturday around 12:30pm, no wait, so was able to add my order to the kiosk quickly and easily. Food: Eel Onigiri - good, good amount of eel to rice, eel was tender, fatty with the nice sweet and savory unagi sauce, sushi rice was tender and perfectly cooked, this was individually wrapped with the peel away packaging that kept the nori sheets nice and crisp and applied to all the onigiri i ordered Tuna Onigiri - solid, tuna mayo was pretty standard, also good ratio of filling to sushi rice, wish there was a little bit more umami notes to this but a solid choice if you like tuna Crab Onigiri - good, crab meat was similar to the type you get in a California roll, finely shredded mixed with a touch of mayo, a little sweet and a little savory Taiwanese pork - good, ground pork was well seasoned, tasted a little sweet, with nice soy sauce notes and a touch of white pepper, good amount of filling to rice, this combo worked really well in the onigiri format Miso soup - good, generous amount of seaweed, and a few pieces of soft tofu, served nice and hot, not too salty with a pleasant miso flavor Service was excellent, they were running a special buy 4 onigiri get 1 free, I accidently split my order up and placed one for 3 pieces, and one for 1 piece, they added the soup complimentary to make up for it which the definitely didn't need but a great touch of hospitality. Food also was prepared right when i ordered and took maybe 5 minutes. Overall really enjoyed Do-re-mi, a great affordable onigiri spot in the Mission. Definitely worth a visit, would happily come back to pick up food for a picnic in Dolores Park or if I'm looking for a quick bite in the Mission. Space is small with counter seating for about 6 people, it's clean and tidy if you want to eat in.

    Really cute spot for made-to-order onigiris! I came to grab a mid-afternoon snack to bring for friends and got the salmon, crab and Taiwanese pork onigiri. My favorite had to be the Taiwanese pork onigiri that was sweet and savory with a generous amount of ground pork. The salmon was good as well, such a classic and I wasn't sure about the crab as it was almost too creamy for my liking but if you're looking for more of a crab dip filling, it's nice and smooth with a sweeter flavor than the salmon. Ordering is easy via kiosk and our orders were ready quickly. Definitely a great lighter meal or snack that feels homemade and fresh.

    [Me vibin' to the millennial bops here.....Ms. Jackson by OutKast, Diva by Beyoncé.....'eeey. ;))) ] Warm, made-to-order onigiri! Yes yes, no crusty-old rice with freshness-questionable (maybe even borderline spoiled) filling here. Highly recommend the salmon one; super flavorful! The Taiwanese pork one could've had more pork, but still very succulent pork. The honey chrysanthemum tea had a tad too much honey, but still refreshing in sips. A kind staff member also provided a complimentary cup of miso soup while I was eating here! Quite soothing miso soup. :) Chill bodega vibes with indoor stool seating.

    Cute made-to-order onigiri spot. Great place to grab a light lunch or snack. They even had a holiday deal of buy 4 get 1 free! Each has furikake mixed into the rice and a nice layer of meat throughout (unlike most places where the protein is just in the direct middle) -Taiwanese pork: sweet and savory flavors, my personal favorite -Garlic beef: has garlic chips that compliment the saucy beef -Salmon: a classic, always good Pretty fast service and theres a few counter seats to sit at.

    The Mission District has been having lots of different types of stores come and go over the years. There are lots of restaurants along Valencia street which are here one day and gone the next. In between Valencia and Mission street on 19th street there is a place which took over the former Boba Guys location which serves drinks and makes hand made rice balls. It's music to my ears and it's called " Do- Re- Mi. Inside Do- Re- Mi there is a kiosk with a digital menu with items like Taiwanese Mince Pork Ricebowl, Hong Kong Style House Curry Fishballs, and Japanese style Sushi Bake. I had to try the Taiwanese Pork Onigiri. It was very tasty and savory. I then had to wash it down with the Berry Fruit tea which was a bit sweet but was refreshing and flavorful. I had to try the ice cream. I got a scoop of mango and vanilla which were delicious and hit the spot. Overall a good place to enjoy a dessert and some finger foods with some inside and outside seating. Do-Re -Mi hits the note and the "verse " without the need to "curse" it does it by offering refreshing drinks and hitting the spot when you "thirst" next time I am in the area if I crave some rice ball or rice bowl this is the place I go "first " The rice balls are handmade in the Mission so they "make "onigiri and a sushi "bake" and go on an ice cream "break" and the food sings to me like Do - Re - Mi , their restaurant "namesake"

    Let's start at the very beginning A very good place to start When you read, you begin with A-B-C When you sing, you begin with Do-Re-Mi (Do-Re-Mi) The first three notes just happen to be Do-Re-Mi (Do-Re-Mi) Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti... Oh dear... When it comes to new businesses, I'm not the early bird that catches the worm. No, I let other Yelpers, likely the younger, anxious ones, tell me if this snack shop would be worthwhile. This one received kudos for their onigiri (rice balls). While Taiwanese pork and chili pickled radish sounded enticing, I've been restrictive about my carb intake so I can fit into my pants. I'll try a rice ball or three sometime in the near-future. Meanwhile, on my virginal visit, I tried the $5 Hong Kong Lemon Tea (Photo 8). I found its light sweetness pleasantly evocative of the old-school coffee shops we discovered in Hong Kong last year. I came back a couple of weeks later and went for a $3.80 scoop of Mango Ice Cream, a tropically refreshing snack in the middle of the afternoon (Photo 6). There's limited counter seating for those not in grab-n-go mode. I took advantage because it provided a nice respite from the heat. I look forward to one of their rice bowls if I get over my carb phobia. Unagi eel is available after all. So-Do-La-Fa-Me-Do-Re. So-Do-La-Ti-Do-Re-Do! When you know the notes to sing, You can sing most anything! Together! REFRESHMENT - 4 stars...tea and ice cream are good, rice comes later AMBIANCE - 4 stars...sunny set-up off Mission SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...Do, a deer, a female deer...

    set my expectations high and that's on me fo shore. I ordered the salmon, pork, beef, crab and chicken teriyaki. went all out. Also tried the berry tea per recommendation of the reviews. I would pay slightly more like 4.50 if they added like 30% more filling. this is a true ball o rice if I ever saw one. the rice to filling ratio is just a bit too much rice for my preference. Fillings are basic. ground beef and ground pork. normal california roll crab I believe ? my rank: crab salmon pork chicken beef I like the way they are wrapped. the berry tea was a bit too sweet for me. The cute little cat drawing was really cute. The onigiris are comparable to a premade one from mitsuwa or the likes but made fresh and slightly less filling, but better tasting. I ordered on the Ipad wasn't very busy and got my order in 10 minutes ish. Nice grab and go for the park. not bad. I like better than onigilly.

    garlic beef
    Lisa W.

    This place is a cute small restaurant mainly for to-go orders, but it also has some limited seating inside. This is not your typical onigiri spot, but rather it is a fusion with Taiwanese flavors. I ordered a garlic beef onigiri and a pork onigiri and they did not disappoint! I honestly got full off of the two onigiri and they were very flavorful. My favorite was the garlic beef because of the crunchy fried garlic bits. The staff was also super friendly and gave me a free miso soup on the side. I would definitely come back again for another quick bite. This is a great place to get food to-go and bring to your next picnic!

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

The treats were tasty, but on the pricier side. I believe the pricing reflects the quality of the chocolate used in the products, so to me, the pricing is justified. The outer shell of the canelé had a nice crunch, but the inside actually reminded me of a chocolate brownie, and was less custardy than your typical canelé. Despite not being super traditional, I still really enjoyed the treat. With the chocolate chip cookie, I loved the giant chunks of semi-sweet dark chocolate embedded within it. I appreciate that the cookie itself wasn't overly sweet. With most cookies, I usually can only tolerate having a few bites, or need to have a coffee in hand to enjoy it, but I didn't feel like that was the case here: both treats were delicious.

The store is larger than it looks with some seating along the sides and back. I opted a small cup of the lychee black tea and auntie Kendra's garden. The lychee black tea was INCREDIBLE, strong, strong tea and fruit flavor, perfectly creamy, and not too sweet. The more memorable of the two, however, was definitely Auntie Kendra. It was a vanilla base with salty plum juice, passion fruit, and preserved lemon peel. The delicate vanilla, the lemon aroma without the sour tang, the floral, exotic passion fruit, and the unexpected punch of salt and earthiness from the plum juice, this is a WHOPPER of a flavor. Every bite allowed me a new appreciation of the layers of flavors in this scoop. While a bit pricy, Garden creamery is on par with the other local ice cream spots in SF and well, the flavors and my enjoyment of them speak for themselves. I will definitely be making more trips out here to try their other flavors!

Said friend recently reciprocated by handing me a bag (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=Rmk-7xJHWs7RKbGP2U1zdQ) with a few items to take home. Having a drink in hand already, I refrigerated one of the gifted items before putting the other two there too. Watching my sugar intake these days, I waited until the next morning to start on the strawberry matcha latte, medium ice, half sweet (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=0O5eaeZuKxCM2GU2ur3cEA); this is a take on a flavor combination that is a signature one for a local boba tea company. I enjoyed this as the tea flavor was more distinct and the sweetness was dialed down. I would get this again. The other gifted items were the Hokkaido cheese tart and fresh sweet potato cheese tart (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=aVbAWdTtlPx0iEdMyWkNFg). I reheated them in my toaster oven a few days later as snacks. The cheese one was okay and didn't really stand out but the sweet potato one shines if you're a big fan of sweet potato. By appearance, I thought it was taro or ube but was pleasantly surprised. Whenever I dine in J Town, I often walk by this store that across from the former Isobune sushi spot in the mall. Now I know what they have and I will try other menu items next time. Thank you for my generous and thoughtful friend for giving my this 1st experience.

    Quality/Quantity - What?!?! Another business that I do not have a review on?!?!…read moreBut I see my pictures from the past...? We (my wife and daughter) are regular customers here. 3 people in line when we got here before they opened and customers in line after us, congrats on your success. A simple menu done well. My wife ALWAYS gets the Kiss of Matcha; their signature item. And my daughter mixes it up, trying everything (at my expense, lol). Ambiance - A small take-away location. Street metered parking, free on Sundays. Service - Self service kiosk. Price - $21, expensive, but that is the cost for quality. And my wife and daughter are worth it! Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success at this location since 2022 and with your 3 locations.

    Kiss of Matcha is a dessert café centered around matcha-based drinks and Japanese-inspired sweets…read more We walked into a cozy, compact space with a focus on matcha flavors, offering everything from soft serve and parfaits to lattes, hojicha drinks, and small desserts. The concept works well for anyone looking for a place that treats matcha as the main ingredient rather than just adding it as a trendy flavor, and the energy of the shop stays calm and inviting, making it a good spot for a focused dessert stop. The biggest highlight is the matcha soft serve, which has a stronger tea flavor compared to many sweeter matcha desserts. We ordered a cup and found the flavor leaning slightly earthy and bitter, giving it a more authentic matcha profile while still staying creamy and approachable. The Kiss of Matcha Parfait is another standout, combining different textures with matcha, toppings, and dessert elements that make it feel more complete than a simple scoop. The layers of the parfait were well composed, with the matcha soft serve, mochi, and crunchy elements coming together in a way that kept each bite interesting. The hojicha options are also worth trying if you prefer a roasted tea flavor that is smoother and less intense, and the hojicha soft serve offered a warm, toasted note that contrasted nicely with the brighter matcha. The menu has a nice mix of drinks and desserts, with items like croffles, mochi, and dango adding more variety beyond the usual matcha latte. The croffle is a good pairing with the drinks since the crisp texture works well with the richer flavors, and we found it held up well against the cream and toppings. There are also non-matcha options like vanilla soft serve, which makes it easier to visit with a group where everyone has different preferences, and the variety across the menu gives you room to explore beyond the matcha offerings. The space is smaller, so it feels more like a quick dessert stop rather than a place to spend hours. Seating is limited, but the cozy decoration and outdoor seating options make it a comfortable spot to enjoy your order when space is available. The indoor area is thoughtfully arranged, and the outdoor seating adds a nice option for warmer days. Service can vary depending on how busy it gets, but the overall experience is centered more around the quality of the desserts, and the staff are friendly and efficient when handling the flow of orders. Kiss of Matcha is a strong choice for matcha lovers looking for desserts with a deeper tea flavor. The combination of quality matcha, creative dessert options, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a spot worth returning to, especially if you enjoy trying different matcha creations. The balance of authentic flavors, thoughtful presentation, and a relaxed environment makes it a destination for a more intentional matcha experience.

    I am VERY particular with my shaved ice and bingsoo, and honestly this place surpassed all…read moreexpectations. I love when places have FLAVORED ice, not just regular ice and add syrup. I knew this place was the real deal from the yelp pictures and I'm so glad I came here for dessert. It was so hard choosing a base flavor, but opted for the strawberry with passion fruit glaze and oh my god this was life changing. The texture of the ice itself was light, airy, and not too sweet, which is perfect for me. The passion fruit glaze added that depth of fruity flavor and honestly this large size was more than enough to share with 2 people. Parking: it's hard to find around the area, so good luck. The shop itself is small and you can't really eat inside but they have tables outside you can enjoy. I will be back for more and bring some friends to check it out!!

We got mango and Mexican chocolate and both were tasty, but for me both (especially the Mexican chocolate) were too sweet which made the flavor tiring to get through. I think if I went back I'd try a fruit flavor instead. I think it's worth another try and I may go back sometime to try a different flavor.
