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 was in Brooklyn Chinatown for lunch but passed by this new bakery. It looked crowded so I decided to check it out. They had a large variety of buns and onigiri. The buns looked pretty large and most only cost $2. I ordered the matcha red bean bun, ube bun, a shrimp tempura onigiri, and a teriyaki salmon onigiri. The seating area was pretty packed so I ate the items at home. When I brought it home, the onigiri was still warm. The onigiri had a good amount of filling and reasonably priced ($2.50-$2.75). The buns were large and surprisingly fluffy despite eating them a day later. I preferred the ube bun more than the matcha bun since the matcha bun did not have as much filling as the ube bun. I'll definitely be back to try more buns and onigiri! FYI - if you pay in cash, you don't have to pay tax. read more

They really need to move the onigiri table, it's in the middle of everything and hinders both the bread shelves and the check out. Besides that, check out was efficient, with the cashier waving me over as the people in front of me were selecting their items. I got a taro and salted egg bun, for $2.50. The bread part was chewy, the filling a little unevenly spaced, which is normal, but the first four bites I took were all bread. The taro filling was a bit sweeter than I would have liked but it complimented the salty egg. read more
Been frequenting this bakery mainly for their Onigiri- Loved the Purple Rice with Eel (sweet and filling). The price is really decent at 2.75 each; at least for the time being. Bakery has a lot of varieties of Onigiri flavors from Spam and Eggs, curry chicken, teriyaki Salmon, etc. Haven't try any of their baked goods as yet, but heard great things about their specialty tea drinks. This bakery has been my new Onigiri obsession since the grand opening- will continue my visits more often. read more

I only came here to try the onigiris and there was sooooooooo many to choose from!!! I settled with spam and egg, crab salad, shrimp tempura. Some were still warm but some are cold. I like the variety of onigiris and I wanted to try the other kinds. I didn't get to try their baked breads yet but it was all laid out. read more

Super quick and efficient ordering process. You just place what you want in a tray and hand it over to the staff in the front and they add everything up. Highly recommend it to introverts like me who don't like to speak too much. I got the Sakura Lychee Slush with aloe vera and I HIGHLY recommend it! It was very refreshing and the aloe vera gave it a nice chewy texture. The onigiri there was yummy as well. The only downside was that because there was a lot of foot traffic, the tables weren't cleaned often and I had to wipe all the crumbs away. Other than that, food is a plus! read more

I've been waiting for Ohayō Bread House to finish construction and open up since the first day I laid eyes on their storefront signage, but of course, the one week that I didn't go to 8th Avenue, I missed their grand opening. That said, we went the week after (and the week after that) and still marvel at their onigiri, especially their affordability. * Salmon Onigiri $2.75 When I see the words "salmon onigiri", my first impression is salt-cured and steamed/cooked salmon, but I think these are cold-smoked salmon onigiri since the salmon inside still has an almost raw-like texture. * Seaweed Onigiri $2.50 * Seaweed & Bean Curd Onigiri $2.50 My favorite onigiris here, though I'm pretty sure the two are one and the same. The seaweed salad gives a sweet and salty, ocean-sesame crunch, the bean curd is soft and flavorful, and I love that the rice is seasoned with furikake. * Eel Purple Rice Onigiri $2.75 We waited around for these and picked them right off the display once they were ready. The flavor was good, but the rice was kind of dry and we thought there would be more eel. Given the price though, this is still a great deal. read more

Beautiful layout and their selection of baked goods look delicious. I ended up only grabbing a drink here though. Strawberry Sakura Slush: 5/5 delicious. It wasn't too sweet and the flavors were impactful. It definitely quench my thirst. read more

I've been wanting to go here since my sons love onigiri and upon seeing a post regarding all the onigiris they offer, it was a must stop when I needed to go to Brooklyn today! Got there around 11:00 am on a Saturday and there were plenty of offerings. There are several tables available but all were occupied. Totally fine since we plan to conquer and go. We purchased 11 onigiri and of course had to get the charcoal spam and egg bun and crab salad and cheese since son #2 loves imitation crab sticks. The ladies behind the registers were busy making the multitude teas that they advertise, we did not partake this time around, but there's always next time! 11 onigiri and 6 buns amounted to $44. Considering we will eat these for breakfast, lunch or snack for the weekend, not bad. The onigiri is thick and filling was abundant. At least in my experience. The charcoal bun was different and the flavor was boastful. Definitely will be a repeat purchase. We've only tried the bacon/egg and butter chicken onigiri and those will be a repeat purchase as well... looks like I'll be spending $44 (or more) next time as well... ha read more

It's a decent sized bakery and kind workers. I went because I saw that they sold onigiris. However, they also sell regular pastries. I got three different kinds of onigiri: the bacon and egg, fish filet, and chicken teriyaki. read more

really cute cafe for bubble tea and onigiri snacks at surprisingly reasonable prices. There are many bubble tea flavors to choose from (5$ for large cup- see photo) and onigiri (2.50$-3$). IMO the cold bubble teas are better and the seafood onigiri are fantastic. This place has become an addiction for me as I work in the area. They also accept apple pay for any amount but you have to pay taxes. the one con is that the ladies, who are all very nice, don't speak much English. read more

The food and prices are great. I like them more than Yaya. Prices for the onigiri are mostly 2.50 and 2.75. Couple of them are $3. They have a lot of varieties. I wish I get to try the others but they don't have them when I was there. The black sesame chestnut bun is good. If you pay in cash, no tax. They will charge tax if you pay by card. There is a sign on the register. I will definitely come back in the future for more onigiri and a drink. read more

I love that there is onigiri to go. Not many places around sunset would have this options inside of a bakery. They do have bread a variety of bread options. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Only issue was that the onigiri was mislabeled. I don't eat seafood of any type. I grab and purple rice crab salad and I guess it was mislabeled. There was eel inside. read more

First time stopping by this cute bread shop. I went in because I saw their selection of mango drinks! I ordered mango lychee with tapioca from their "mango vanity" section. Staff was super friendly when I was indecisive and also it cost only $6! Great price. Will be coming here when I'm in the area again! read more
