Solid value, but lacks the "oomph" of other top bakeries. I tried the Portuguese egg tarts at Ohayo Bread House, and they are a great value, though they are noticeably smaller than what you'll find elsewhere. The crust was a bit different from the traditional style; while it was perfectly fine, it lacked that signature flavor punch and "oomph" you get from places like Lily Bloom or Tea Pulse. It's a decent choice for a quick snack!
I was curious to try the rice balls as they had a surprising amount of choices. I went for the yuzu mackerel and the beef tongue rice balls. I know, you have never seen these fillings anywhere else. That's how I felt. The rice balls are affordable and pretty good tasting. I would get them again. They also have a large variety of breads and pastries, but I didn't get a chance to try them. I would come back for the rice balls. Recommended!
Food: This bakery makes a wide variety of onigiris (Japanese-style rice balls) as well as other pastries and buns. The onigiris are delicious and packed with filling. I've tried the crawfish one as well as the mackerel, and I would highly recommend both. Some onigiri fillings include salmon, crab salad, eel, purple rice and salmon, curry chicken, spam musubi, Korean spicy spam, and many more. Service: Staff are friendly and welcoming. Ambiance: The bakery is a good size with comfortable seating and tables if you want to dine in. There are probably about 4-5 tables there. Overall, I would highly recommend this bakery!
I like their concept, definitely not your usual Asian bakery on the 8th Avenue strip. They have a good selection of rice balls, creative buns, and coffee. I haven't settled on a favorite bun yet. I tried their black sesame chestnut bun, it was fine, not bad, but not something I'm rushing back for. Some of the rice balls can be a bit heavy on the rice. The spam musubi seems to be the most popular with kids. I find myself grabbing the purple rice kani and the yuzu mackerel the most. The neighborhood itself is crowded if you're walking or driving but the store inside is bright, spacious, and inviting. Overall, a solid, reliable grab and go spot if you want a quick bun or rice ball.
Just recently discovered this place and I was shook. I had no idea there was a rice ball heaven in the heart of 8th ave Brooklyn. Rice ball galore!! They had so many unique flavors. I tried the yuzu mackerel ($2.75) and the cumin beef tongue ($3). But also got my classic eel with purple rice ($2.75) to try. There is a lot of rice in the rice balls, but the meat was decent as well. I feel like most onigiris are made like this though. Unless I make it myself, I feel like the ratio of rice to meat will never satisfy me haha. Flavors were good though! I have to come back and try other flavors like the beef sukiyaki and butter chicken. Price was so good too! They also had bakery breads along the wall, but I didn't get any. Maybe next time and then I'll update my review. They looked fluffy and unique flavors as well.
Dunno why I didn't find this place sooner in life!! Being hungry and not knowing where to eat, I happened to stumble upon this place. Upon entering, I noticed there's nice ample space for customers to sit and enjoy the food. Was expecting the prices to be high, but it was the exact opposite! Ordered 5 onigiri and two tarts and it came out to less than 20$ which is under of in New York. The onigiri was delicious, salmon was my favorite. They tarts were creamy and delicious as well, highly recommend!!
Was strolling through 8th ave and came across this place on around 11:00am in the morning on a sunday. Would say this is more one half onigiri/one half bakery. They have a huge variety of onigiri that ranges from $2.50-$4.00 and refill them pretty quickly as they run out. The bakery items are very interesting as they are not your typical chinese bakery buns. I got the chicken teritaki and crab salad onigiri and the flavors were good. The rice is seasoned already and there is a just a good amount of filling. Would definitely want to try other onigiri and their bakery items.
Wow amazing. So glad I popped by to try this. Loved the shrimp tempura. That is the best. Butter chicken was okay but if you like Indian style butter chicken, you may like this. They are thicc and chubby in the best way possible. Filling and yummy. Seaweed is crispy.
Came in here on a hot humid day. Thank god for their AC. I got the Japanese rice and gyokuro drink with brown sugar jelly. I really enjoyed the jelly since it added a good texture to the drink for me to chew on. The drink itself was a bit too milky for me and I did not taste the tea as much as I wanted to. However the price point was fair at only $5! I also got the pineapple bread which was pretty good. Not overly sweet however a bit on the denser side. The cashier did not speak much English but I could tell she was trying her best to help me!
They offer a large variety of onigiri, from spam to beef sukiyaki, salmon teriyaki, chicken curry, beef tongue, and kimchi. The price varies a bit depending on the filling, but they generally fall between $2.5 and $3. We also got egg tarts, dragon fruit mochi bread, and ube bread. The latter two had filling inside.
Ohayo Bread House is my go-to spot for quick lunch in 8 Avenue, Brooklyn. This is where you can get a filling meal for less than $3. They have more than 25 flavors of riceballs according to my observation, including spam musubi. On the other side, they display freshly baked bread and egg tarts. They also have a full menu of drinks. ＊Butter Chicken Onigiri $2.75 Their onigiri is large and dense, but of course it has way more rice than filling at this price point. I have been eyeing their butter chicken onigiri for a while, and it turned out to be my favorite. The sauce was flavorful. Although there wasn't a lot of shredded chicken, it was enough to eat with the rice till my last bite. ＊Purple Rice Crab Salad Onigiri $2.75 ＊Octopus Salad Onigiri $2.75 The purple rice onigiri was still warm when I got it! The texture of purple rice was nice but the amount of crab salad was underwhelming, so as the octopus salad one. ＊Cranberry Cream Cheese Bun $2.75 They had a lot of baked goods that interested me, like coconut coffee roll, dragonfruit mochi bun and black sesame chestnut roll (sold out when i visited). I got my hands on their cranberry cream cheese bun. The bread size was bigger than my palm. Such a shame that there was only less than 10% filling but it was still a good price afterall. ***Get a discount if you pay in cash.
Was so happy to find a place nearby that sells onigiris. This cafe has lots of baked goods, breads, and bubble tea. I love that there is a wide variety of onigiri flavors. I really enjoyed my milk tea, shrimp tempura onigiri, and spam musubi. There are a lot of baked goods as well, which I would like to try next time. The cafe has a nice relaxing ambiance, with a couple of tables for seating. The staff was so nice and helpful, and it's a perfect spot to grab a snack and a sweet treat!
Fave onigiri spot, sorry yaya's I like their Eel onigiri and they have a Pork one on the right shelf that's really good. There's never any Pork Floss onigiri when I visit!! Hope to try it soon, but I'm not surprised that it's very popular. Inside is very clean. It also looks very new and well taken care of. I also see them sweep and clean when I come by late at night around closing. There are a few seat and a lot of people hang out with cup of tea here. Even my mom said she sits here with a friend enjoying a cup of tea.
I always visit their Chinatown store but finally visited this Sunset Park one! What surprised me was the EXTRA amount of variety in this store: Soooo much more onigiri rice ball options...as well as the bread. It looks like the Chinatown one focused more on the old-school baked items more, and this Brooklyn one is more about the "newer" stuff. When I say the onigiri options is a lot...I meant like so much more "cooler" flavors like buffalo chicken, beef tongue, yuzu mackerel...you name it. They're not exactly fresh because they just been sitting there all day, so that part is lacking. No issues with payment. There are some tables to sit down and eat your food. Overall a good impression. Can't wait to see them open the Bay Parkway location! read more
Yelp's error, I see duplicate photos again... I'm sensing a theme now. Quality/Quantity - Just had lunch at East Harbor Seafood Palace but I would have really enjoyed this place! So many fresh options. See all my pictures. So many pastry and Onigiri options; again, see my pictures. Teas are made fresh to order, so please be patient. Decent size drink selection. Ambiance - A small local business. But IMO, a huge selection. Free wifi, I did not use it. Open 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm; are you sensing a theme, lol. Service - Self service. Price - Inexpensive, especially for NY. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since early 2024. Do you also own the one in NY on Grand? read more

Very disappointed at the bread here, even though they are in a low price, but the taste really not go well. I can only says we paid what it is. 2块钱一个欧包还想要多好吃。麻薯芝麻栗子包 芝麻味完全没有 栗子泥没有太浓郁栗子的味道 已经是买回去马上吃，但是欧包还是有点湿湿的口感，不够松软 . 紫薯欧包 看图就知道了，我就不多说了 紫薯酱吃出红豆罐头的味道，一整个无语 好不好吃？我吃一口就扔了 read more

There aren't many places in Brooklyn where you can get onigiris so this was such a pleasant surprise on 8th Ave. Ohayo had a good 20+ variations of onigiris and they also sell breads and drinks. Each onigiri is under $3 and you're really getting a bang for your buck. It is very filling and each onigiri comes with A LOT of rice. I got the beef sukiyaki ($2.75) and spicy spam ($2.50) and they were both decent. The rice was seasoned, fillings were flavorful but the seaweed tasted off to me. The seaweed was very bland but for the price, can't really complain. I would definitely come back to try the other options. The workers are constantly refilling the onigiris so they're pretty fresh. The bread options didn't look appealing to me but would try a drink next time. There are a few tables and chairs for dine in but the place is always packed! read more
Major regrets because we did not buy more breads and onigiris from Ohayo. Everything was so delicious and fresh! It is so cute and cozy on the inside too. One of our favs included the black bread with spam&egg filling. The egg was JUICY and it had meat floss inside too, which made it that much better. We also really enjoyed the crab salad and shrimp tempura onigiris. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything from here. Whenever we come back to Brooklyn, we will for sure be back for more! read more
My daughter has been telling me about this place since they opened their doors. Apparently, Ohayo is quite popular among teenagers and students for their affordable originis aka Japanese rice balls! So. Many. Flavors! Salmon, shrimp tempura, eel. You name it. They even have musubi. They also have fresh made breads and buns made on premises. Can't wait to go back to try them all. read more
They have nice bread selection but more amazingly they also have a huge selection of onigiri (rice balls). I love how they have purple rice selections as well. I opted for a purple rice eel onigiri and a curry chicken pastry. My excitement turned into disappointment after taking the first 2 bites. They definitely skimp out on the fillings for both the rice ball and the curry chicken pastry. I feel like it was mostly carb - which is usually the case for a lot of bakeries. Since I'm trying to be more carb conscious, this was not the place for me. However - if you don't care and love rice then this place is amazing! I am still impressed by the options available . They also have egg tarts and other delicious looking pastries that I would love to come bake and try another day. read more
Great bakery on 8th Ave! They offer many flavors of onigiris and the beef sukiyaki one that I got was delicious. They're packaged very intricately so make sure you pay attention to how to properly unwrap it and not make a mess like I did haha. Also really enjoyed the black sesame chestnut bun and pistachio bun but the star is definitely the onigiri. Will be back to try out different flavors of these rice balls! read more
So happy to have a spot nearby that sell onigiris! My favorite is the spicy tuna but there's so many flavors and they're constantly restocking throughout the day so it's always fresh. They also have a full boba menu so I usually grab a tea whenever I stop in, highly recommend! read more

Super affordable and delicious rice balls! My fav was the purple rice with eel! Rice was soft and not mushy! Eel had a good kick to it. Busy place was quick. A lot of tables for din in! Milk Tea was good as well! I would def love to come back again! read more
I've had Ohayo Bread House on my list for a while now due to their vast array of affordable onigiris. I bought the tuna ($2.50), eel purple rice ($2.75), spam and egg musubi ($3.50), and salty egg yolk taro bun ($2.50). The onigiris were good, I enjoyed the rice but there isn't very much filling. The spam and egg musubi was delicious! You can never go wrong with fried spam, but the egg added a perfect sweetness to it, and each section of spam, rice, and egg was thick. Would definitely get again. The taro and salted egg bun was fluffy and had a nice chew. I enjoyed the combination of taro and salty egg filling, but I did wish there was a little more salted egg because the ratio was a bit off. Please note that if you pay in credit or debit, they charge you a surcharge of ~8.75%! I've never seen it that high before, so thank goodness I had cash! read more

Wooo! Another bakery pops up on 8th Avenue! This bakery sells baked goods and onigiri which is very different from the rest. I popped in one weekend to grab a quick snack to go. I was amazed with so many onigiri options and they already sold out of popular flavors like the Shrimp Tempura and Salmon Teriyaki. For my first visit, I got the Eel Purple Rice and the Octopus Salad to share with hubby. We both really liked the Eel Purple Rice, a big piece of grilled eel with soft purple grain rice, we would totally get this again. The Octopus Salad was also good, diced octopus in a salad mix. One small con was that the rice balls were not wrapped perfectly, some end pieces of seaweed got stuck when I unwrapped them. For my drink, I got the passionfruit green tea with passionfruit coco jelly, for $5.00, it was refreshing! Love the rice balls and will be back often! :) read more
Was finally able to snag one of the last rice balls. Every time I passed by, there is usually a crowd and long waitb for more riceballs. Came here for a snack after a meal because the meal was disappointing. Was able to try 2 types of riceballs which was flavorful but nothing amazing. I would like to return again and try others if there are more... it's very popular. read more

Huge fan of their onigiris! I've tried the eel purple rice (my fave), spam musubi, teriyaki chicken, and spicy tuna. They're all fairly priced and range from $2.50-$3.00. Filling to rice ratio could be a little better, but it was expected given the price. Excited to go back and try their buns. read more
This bakery is my latest obsession. So far I've only stopped by on Sunday afternoons, and while it's been initially packed (and with only 4-5 tables), there's always a lull if I linger long enough. Everyone crowds around the onigiri section for good reason. They have a wide selection, and I might even prefer theirs over Yaya, my previous onigiri champ. I'm especially partial to the octopus salad, crawfish, and purple rice crab salad onigiri. Don't despair if they don't have the flavor you want, they constantly churn out more. You can even ask an employee about specific flavors, and if you wait 5-10 minutes, you might be able to get one fresh out of the kitchen. The baked goods are also tasty (I'm partial to the chicken apple smoked sausage bun) and they have a huge drinks menu. They freshly brew their teas, so you might have to wait for a bit, but totally worth it in my opinion. I've enjoyed the winter melon tea with lime and grass jelly, and the cold Hong Kong milk tea. Sizes are pretty big and comparatively affordable at $5-6 with a free topping included. read more
I heard about this spot from social media and decided to come check it out when I was in the area. The place is busy, but it's quick as you grab, pay and go. They offer a variety of breads, but what they're most popular for is their wide selection of onigiris. There are so many flavors to choose from here; more than I've seen in most places in Hawaii and Japan. Each one is priced between $2.50-$3.50 and I ended up grabbing a spam one and spicy tuna one. I have to say that there's a bit more rice than filling ratio than I'd prefer, but they're solid. It's the perfect on the go snack. Also, grabbed one Portuguese Tart as well, which was very creamy. read more
Great place to pick up some rice balls! They're decently sized and reasonably priced ($2.50-3 each). They have a wide variety of flavors but when I came later in the day, many flavors were sold out. I got the shrimp tempura and the purple rice eel. I think in terms of taste, they were both just okay, not bad. Nothing particularly noteworthy, simple ingredients simple taste. Flavor was pretty light on both and I liked that for a light meal. I would visit again to try out the different flavors. Great place to pick up a light snack / meal or for picnics/ on the go. read more

This bakery has fluffy bakery buns, but the onigiris is what makes them stand out. They have over a dozen different flavors of onigiri and you can tell which flavors are popular based on how empty the trays are. And they do restock but you may have to wait for specific flavors. The buns and onigiris are self-service with cafeteria trays available. The buns are between $2-$3, which aren't the cheapest around but they are pretty big. The onigiri are between $2.50-$2.75 and vary in flavor and juiciness. They're okay rice balls and a nice snack option to have. They also have an extensive tea and latte menu available. read more
I think in a block where there are so many bakeries already, business owners really need to differentiate themselves from the rest in terms of offerings, etc. Ohayo did that and does it well. There isn't a location nearby, or at least not that I am aware of that offers the huge variety of rice balls like they do, and the best part? it is very very affordable. They make these rice balls fresh- I came a few times in the morning and they are still warm when you get the ones you want. The variety they offer range from regular white rice rice balls to purple rice rice balls with various fillings such as eel, teriyaki chicken, bulgogi. They also have bread on the side but their biggest sellers would definitely be their rice balls which are all pretty tasty! read more
