Came across Omusubi on Instagram and convinced my cousin to check it out with me. Let me just say, it absolutely lived up to the hype. The onigiri here is hands down some of the best I've ever had. If you've tried the onigiri at Mitsuwa or any grocery store that sells them, it honestly doesn't compare. Everything is made fresh to order, and you can definitely taste the difference. The rice is incredibly soft, perfectly seasoned, and unlike most places, it isn't dense or overly sticky. Instead, it has a light, delicate texture that gently falls apart with every bite, making it melt in your mouth. It's definitely worth the price, and I'll 100% be coming back. If you're an onigiri lover, this place is a must-try. Side note: the staff made the experience even better. Every single person we interacted with was genuinely kind, welcoming, and incredibly sweet. Their customer service is honestly some of the best I've experienced at a quick-service restaurant. You can tell they truly care about both the food they serve and the people they serve, and that alone makes me want to keep coming back. read more

Delicious! Tasted fresh and savory Had the tempura shrimp omusibi!!! Loved it! Will come back again... and the matcha ice cream they offered my daughter and I a free sample of was so refreshing!!!! Really wanna try the strawberry matcha- looks delish!!! read more

OMUSUBI - Japanese Near Me - Torrance, California

Would definitely recommend the spicy tuna One of my favorite also had Great customer service I definitely will be going back.

Stumbled upon this store as I was walking in, the interior and atmosphere was inviting. I ordered the 2 for 13 with Salmon Mayo and Spicy Tuna along with an Iced Matcha Latte. I was blown away by the flavor of the musubi's. The matcha latte was perfect, the way I prefer my matcha. The customer service was phenomenal and 10/10 would come back here again. Thank you, OMUSUBI! read more

Stopped by for takeout and had a bit of a mixed first impression. The greeting wasn't particularly friendly, and I didn't really feel welcomed. Maybe it was just an off moment, so I wouldn't judge the whole experience based on that alone. Ordering was easy. They call your number when everything is ready. I ordered around 4:13 PM and received my order at 4:23 PM, so about a 10-minute turnaround. The Crab Meat & Tarako (cod roe) omusubi was very good. The amount of gu (filling) was generous, and the ingredients tasted fresh. The rice itself was excellent quality and clearly freshly made, although it was almost a little too fresh and soft for omusubi--the rice started to plop out while eating. I personally prefer rice that's had a little time to set and become slightly firmer. The Salmon & Roe also had a generous amount of roe and tasted very fresh. I thought the salmon could use a little more coarse salt or another subtle accent to bring out its flavor. Something like yuzu shio or even a touch of garlic rayu would be interesting. The nori had a surprisingly good crispness, although at this price point, I'd love to see them step up to an even better-quality nori. With the amount and quality of the filling already being quite good, premium nori could really elevate the whole thing. The lemonade was very good--not overly citrusy or tart. It had a light lemon-candy type of flavor, but softer and nicely balanced. The shop itself was extremely clean, which I really appreciated. One thing I didn't realize until I was already waiting was that they have an app. I didn't notice much promotion for it, so that seems like a missed opportunity. The advertising at the front also made me initially think this was more of a drink shop than a place specializing in food/omusubi. Would I come back? Yes. Probably not all the time, though. Three omusubi are around $18, or roughly $6 each on average, which is a little expensive for something traditionally considered a fairly simple food. That said, the generous amount of filling and freshness help justify the price. Overall, the food is the strongest part of the experience. Good ingredients, generous filling, excellent freshness and a spotless shop. With a warmer welcome, slightly better nori, and a little refinement in the marketing/customer experience, this could be a really solid spot. read more

My husband and I visited during the grand opening! (so a delayed post). The event was honestly spectacular with a dj, prizes, and free food. The staff did an incredible job serving everyone and being so caring. We ordered the yakuniku beef and the salmon musubis. The quality of the meat was excellent, but I did notice a lot of rice. I don't know if I would order this over going to the grocery store (even though I can taste a difference in the proteins). What did leave a major impact was the quality of the matcha. I was so surprised by how rich and pure tasting my drink was. It felt like I was back in Japan during a tea ceremony. I would absolutely come back for another matcha. It is a better quality than most drink specific places. The inside of the lobby was a bit tight when ordering. However, the line moved quickly. The decor is minamilistic and beautiful. It's great being able to see the staff prepare the food right in front of you. read more

I loved the staff there. Friendly and inviting. Knowledgeable about their menu. Definitely felt taken care of. They implement certain Japanese gestures that really take your experience up another notch when you weren't expecting it. Ordered 2 strawberry matchas during their last day of a BOGO. The drinks tasted REALLY good. Nook gets a lot of attention for their coffee but if matcha is what you're in for, I would come to this place. I didn't experience this, but from their signage they apparently do demonstrations of how to make matcha. read more

Love this place, I work down the street so I get an onigiri and matcha to start my day almost every day. I used to not like matcha before trying this, but you can tell the difference with the quality ingredients they use with their drinks and their food. The service is great, the team is really welcoming and they put a lot of care in their service and product. Love that this spot opened near me, easy grab and go style restaurant- or also great to grab and lounge in the enclave. read more

Their team (Sharon) was kind enough to reach out to me directly apologizing for the quality of the omusubi and so I came back here again today to try some different flavors of omusubi. Sharon did offer some complimentary food, however I do not take complimentary food from any issues I've received in the past. I ordered two omusubi, a spicy tuna and salmon + salmon roe. There wasn't a long line but I did notice a lot of people waiting for their order by the time I finished ordering. The kitchen seemed backed up and I saw some frustration with the other customers. For the 2 omusubis I ordered I ended up waiting 15 minutes. Edit: Just realized they rushed with my order as well as the packaging is not completed read more

Had a chance to stop by during their opening week, so a bit of a late review! All 3 flavors I had were recommended as their top picks, and while they were very yummy, I think the rice-filling ratio was a little off. A LOT of rice to what's put inside. Still would definitely try it again, everyone was so nice! read more

The Yuzu Matcha Latte alone will get me to return. I appreciate that they offer almond milk alternatives. https://yelp.to/ChGNOg3Yzz I also tasted the Strawberry Matcha that my sister ordered. Not my thing, but mainly because I don't like those two flavors together. Others might like it. The Avocado and Tofu Omusubi was alright. $7 each but price per item gets cheaper if you order more than one. Freshly made to order and grateful for the vegan option. https://yelp.to/K9VoqQ50t5 Service seemed to move fairly fast for all customers in front of us, but stalled a bit at our order which took longer than anticipated. Regardless, the staff was nice. Also, they did a great job remodeling the space that used to be Irv's Burgers. Although Irv's had yummy tater tots, I'd rather have Omusubi here. Great addition to Enclave. read more

Im a sucker for a good musubi and was pleasantly surprised with my two musubis today! I tried the beef yakiniku and the avocado and tofu. The beef in particular was so flavorful! Both had a lot of filling and tasted homemade in the best way possible. The wrapping was a little confusing (im used to good old plastic wrap and putting the nori on yourself!) but the directions on the bottom of the package were easy to follow. My only complaint was the wait. We came on a Saturday around 2:30 pm, ordered quickly, and then waited around 15 min for our order which felt long! read more

OMUSUBI - Japanese Near Me - Torrance, California

3.5 stars for the food Got the beef sukiyaki with the egg inside. The beef was seasoned pretty well, rice was nice and warm. However, if you bite into it, the beef was not together with the egg. The egg was off to the side so after two bites the beef was all gone and the rest was the egg and rice. Wish the filling was all together. The crab with tarako was pretty good. Wish there was more filling though. It was nicely seasoned. There isn't a lot of crab. Overall, pretty pricey for what you get... I mean $7 to $7.50 for a rice ball is crazy for me. Probably won't come back. Service was great though, everyone was nice. It looks like they have a pretty spacious kitchen and back of the counter was open and you can see them make drinks. There isn't any seating inside, but you can probably find a table outside since it is pretty nice out at the enclave. read more

Outstanding service. Manager (Sandra) explained that the company originates out of Hong Kong using Japanese rice. Exporting Japanese rice is the best way to support Japanese rice farmers. Matcha soft serve was creamy with good balance of sweet and bitter Beef Sukiyaki Matcha banana protein smoothie with almond milk- Hooray for Dairy Free! - was hearty with the banana and avocado. Packed with protein. Think and tasty. Would be good after a workout. Beef Sukiyaki omusubi was recommended and it hit the mark. Rice was hot and fluffy. Beef was tender and egg made it more moist and good Salmon Mayo omusubi also was very good. Lots of flavor. Yes this is more expensive than buying at a Japanese store but this is high quality rice from Japan, hot, and fresh! Rest of team was friendly and helpful - Pity and Dominic! read more

This place is a cut above store bought musibis. It's a good snack, but I would not say it's something to replace a meal. In terms of it's ratio, there is so much rice, the problem is that the rice isn't seasoned well or at all - at least use some mirin or salt! (Sesame seeds and furikake isn't too expensive right?) The salmon roe musibi, most of the musibi had no roe, they place all of it onto one side which did not lead to a balanced bite. As stated earlier, too much rice before you get to the center - the rice needs to be fun to eat too! The crab meat one was nice and balanced, the tarako was evenly spread unlike the salmon roe musibi. Of all three I tried today, the crab meat was most tasty, but again, too much flavorless rice (I give them props for the texture being correct though). The beef sukiyaki musubi is not a trational flavor offering, but it had the same problem as the salmon roe: the egg was off to the side and not mixed/blended well! So you would bite one end and then the other to get the flavors together. Overall better than grocery store musibis, it is just lacking in blending the ingredients and the rice needs flavor! read more

We came to the plaza on a Sunday afternoon when we were shocked to see that there was a line was out the door. We wanted to try to matcha icecream but when we got to the counter, they said they ran out. This was about 2p in the afternoon. We decided to stick around and try their other stuff. Prices were steep for the omusubi. The yuzu matcha was on the sweeter side and overly priced at 8 dollars!! It was a disappointment and I probably won't go back. read more

We happened to be at The Enclave during Omusubi's grand opening weekend, so we decided to give it a try. They were running a promotion where purchases over $30 came with a free matcha latte, I chose the hot latte option. We shared four omusubi flavors: Yakiniku Beef, Avocado Tofu, Salmon Roe, and Shrimp Tempura. Overall, they were all quite tasty, though the beef was a bit chewy. I especially liked that the seaweed was packaged separately, keeping it crispy instead of getting soggy before eating. We also added the grilled corn and fried chicken as side dishes. Both complemented the omusubi nicely. As for the free matcha latte, I'm not sure if it was because of the promotion, but the drink was surprisingly small, more like a kid-sized portion. Overall, I think Omusubi is best suited for a snack, light meal, or grab-and-go option rather than a hearty meal. You can take your food and enjoy it anywhere in The Enclave's spacious outdoor seating area. We had a great time during opening weekend. Between the photo ops, balloon artists, photo booth, and festive atmosphere, the whole event felt welcoming and fun. read more

I came for the Grand Opening on 05-23-2026. They were super organized and had different entertainment areas! I was #40 in line. Prior to the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, the first 50 were called to return to line up. This restaurant is located next to HiroNori Craft Ramen at The Enclave. Parking lots available in the front & back. Free parking. This is more of a Grab n Go place. The Enclave has outdoor seating directly outside. If you prefer indoor seating, you can go to the building where there are more shops as well as a large indoor seating area. They are giving the first 200 people in line 2 Omusubi, a side, a drink, and a sauce. There was a hiccup with my order because I opted for alternative milk. All the orders like this were delayed. They called 15 orders past my number before I asked about mine. My bag had been sitting on the counter waiting for my drink. Grand Opening only, I hope! I took my food out to the indoor dining area in Building C. I first removed the Mt. Fuji shaped Omusubi! I was glad to see that the Omusubi had the Seaweed pre-wrapped separately waiting for you to assemble it yourself when you are ready to eat it! The rice was fluffy and soft and the Salmon & Roe filling was delicious! I do feel like this is a premium Omusubi! I brought home the Crab & Tarako to eat later. I didn't really care for the fried chicken side, probably because it was cold. The picture shows 3 pieces, but my container only had 2. The Sriracha Mayo was good. It had a tiny bit of detectable heat. I'd probably skip the Chicken next time. I feel that for the quality of the Omusubi, $7.50 is worth it. You can save money if you order the two or three deal. Looks like they will have more than 4 options of Omusubi in the future. Next time I want an Omusubi, I might come here. I usually get a Spam Musubi from Faka's Island Grill when I order from there. I would like to try their Soft Serve Ice in the future! read more

I came on Grand Opening Day. So many festivities happening. They gifted the first 200 with 2 musubi, a side and matcha. I arrived around 9:20 am and was number 186 and 187. Waited about 2 hours, but plenty of things to do while I waited. When we finally arrived to the counter, we were asked to choose two musubi each. We got the beef sukiyaki, crab and tarako and 2 salmon and salmon roe. We could also choose a side, chicken or corn. We opted for chicken. We also got to choose a hot or iced matcha. Everything was absolutely delicious and so filling. Definitely get a matcha! We even met the chef from Japan. Definitely coming back to taste the other musubi options! I feel this place will be a go to place for me. Plenty of parking in the Enclave. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

The staff here is very friendly, especially the gentleman in the white/tan cap who made the experience even more welcoming. I've had onigiri/omusubi from Asian markets before where they're pre-made and refrigerated, but having it fresh and hot is a completely different experience. I ordered the salmon with salmon roe and the sukiyaki, and both were delicious and satisfying. I also ordered a strawberry matcha latte, and for someone who doesn't really eat or drink a lot of matcha, I really enjoyed it. The shop itself is small but modern with nice decor and a clean atmosphere. Just a heads up -- this isn't really a dine-in restaurant. It's more of a grab-and-go spot with outdoor public seating nearby. The restaurant is located in The Enclave, which has several other eateries sharing a common dining area, making it a nice place to explore different food options while hanging out. read more

OMUSUBI - Strawberry matcha latte - Japanese Near Me - Torrance, California

Omusubi is an onigiri chain that originated from Hong Kong and is now located in the Enclave. The onigiri prices are about $7 - $7.50, but if you get their combo, it lowers the price to about $6 each. While I do understand the quality of the ingredients, I believe the prices are a bit steep for the amount of filling they put in the onigiri. Three rice balls I ordered were the beef sukiyaki, crab meat & tarako, and salmon & salmon roe. The beef sukiyaki highlight was the 4-day marinated egg yolk in the center of the onigiri. Other than that, there were barely any pieces of meat in the actual rice ball. The crab meat and tarako, on the other hand, had more filling in them. Each bite was flavorful, and surprisingly contained real crab meat rather than artificial. The salmon and salmon roe onigiri sadly had a similar issue to the beef sukiyaki. It just lacked the salmon amount, not making it worth $7.50. I do understand that the employees are still under training, so I give their service the benefit of the doubt. Overall, if you are looking to try something new, I believe Omusubi is a place that you can potentially go to. read more

More hype than taste. The $8 rice ball with some crab and tarako definitely left me underwhelmed. The crab filling was minimal. It's warm which is nice but a bit challenging to open for a first timer even with their thoughtful step by step guide. It's a great location and fast friendly service. I'm open to trying the beef rice ball. read more

OMUSUBI - 2nd day of they grand opening. - Japanese Near Me - Torrance, California

Was at their grand opening on May 23, 2027. Friendly staff, clean interior, and minimalist menu (in a good way!). The grand opening special was the first 200 people get 2 omusubi, 1 side and a matcha latte. All very good! The matcha latte was just enough sweetness. The crab omusubi was delicious. It was made of real crab and had roe in it. The beef sukiyaki was also delicious. The side of fried chicken unfortunately wasn't crispy, but the taste was still good with the side of Japanese BBQ sauce. Regular price for everything would've been over $28, so this was a very generous giveaway! read more

Absolutely delicious onigiris! I was unsure because of the rating on yelp. But those reviews really does this place a disservice. I am so glad I came and will definitely be coming back! Fresh warm onigiris. Delicious fillings. So geniusly packaged and wrapped! They may look like something you can get at tokyo central, but the taste is FAR better. The rice. Omg the rice. I had a 40 minute commute home, and that rice was still perfect. Fluffy. Soft. But firm enough to hold the shape. You can tell its good quality rice. Filling was not only delicious but also super plentiful! I get that 7 dollars can be steep, but their filling ratio is actually generous! I got almost one of each (ran out of salmon sadly) and each was amazing. The crab was omg yummy. The beef sukiyaki was super amazing too, perfect egg yolk. Literally no idea why people be hating. This is a total meal. Can be in picnics. Easy to carry. 1000% recommend! read more

I've had my share of delicious onigiris. I've even had them made by legit mamas in Japan years ago. But I hadn't had a warm onigiri. Ever. And wow. Leveled up onigiri for sure. Truth be told, husband was more enthused about a place focused on just fresh onigiris opening up in the South Bay than I was. I mean, I can just hop over to Tokyo Central and get our onigiri fix on. But I highly highly recommend you try a fresh onigiri from Omusubi at least once. At least once and you may just get hooked. The staff to the newly opened place was warm and on it. And served us delicious, onigiris. We happened to get to chat with the owner and chef and decided to try their signature matcha when we found out it was from Kyoto. Definitely worth it. The place is small and clean and bright and since it's at the Enclave, plenty of places to sit and enjoy your onigiri or matcha outside. read more

Decided to stop by and try the viral Omusubi today. Ordered the two onigiri set, with salmon and masago and spicy salmon along with a strawberry matcha latte. The onigiri was good, definitely handmade, and had ample filling; just wish they were bigger than the ones you can get from Asian markets in the area. The latte actually had a very nice flavor, not overly earthy or sweet; again just wish it was a bit larger for the price. This was an alright experience, I might return in the future. read more

This new place in the Enclave is a great addition to the complex. Came here to try it, since I love onigiris. Beautiful clean aesthetic, but no seats inside. You'll have to suffer in the heat during the summer! Staff was super friendly. It's definitely not cheap, so I got 2 onigiris, the salmon and the recommended beef sukiyaki over the yakiniku one. I love that it's made to order, wrapped so that the seaweed and the rice separate each other until you're ready to tear it apart to keep to keep the seaweed crunchy. Not too much flavor for both and not too much filling either. I got way more bites of rice than filling. I also wish there were more choices for fillings as well. Not sure I'd come back to try the others, since I wasn't full after two of them. It just seems a lot to pay. Add on the recommended banana matcha protein smoothie which was a delicious way to get some protein in! I might come back to try the soft serves though!! read more

I tried the 2 for $13 onigiri meal. 2 small/regular-onigiris for $13 is actually pretty pricey for onigiris. And to be honest, nothing about them really stood out. I will say the rice was fresh and warm and the seaweed was crispy, but the fillings were average for onigiri. I got one tofu avocado and one salmon. They both could've had more filling and been a little more flavorful. I came on a Saturday afternoon and waited in line for maybe 5-10 mins than only 5 more to prepare my order. This was pretty quick considering how busy I knew they were when they first opened. I was also glad to be able to order both items I wanted because I heard sometimes they sell out of items by a certain point in the day. read more

O Mu Subi is an absolute gem in the Enclave and easily one of the best new spots in the Torrance/Gardena area. I came primarily for the matcha, and it did not disappoint. The matcha is sourced from Kyoto, and you can immediately tell that quality and preparation matter here. The woman preparing our drinks was incredibly meticulous with every step. When she handed us the finished matcha, she even bowed, a small gesture that reflected the care and hospitality behind the experience. I ordered the unsweetened matcha (not a latte), and it was outstanding: silky smooth with no sediment, rich in flavor, and remarkably balanced. As impressive as the matcha was, the real surprise was the onigiri. Both the spicy tuna and beef sukiyaki were excellent. Each one is made fresh to order with warm rice, and the balance between the fillings and rice is spot on. A quick tip: follow the wrapper instructions carefully (pull tabs 1, then 2, then 3) to keep the nori intact. It's worth the extra few seconds. Yes, the onigiri costs more than what you'll find at nearby Japanese markets, but the difference in quality is obvious. The ingredients, freshness, and preparation justify the price. O Mu Subi manages to combine exceptional food, thoughtful craftsmanship, and genuine hospitality. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. read more

I've heard of the place and checked out their reviews. I was near by so stopped by. To be honest I was not impressed. I checked out the menu and wanted the shrimp tempura and beef sukiyaki musubis. Well, was told they did not have the shrimp so had to change my order. I really did not like most of the other choices so I went with the avocado/tofu musubi. I also want grilled corn but was told it would take awhile so had to change that order. So went with rice flour chicken karaage. They do make to order so the musubi rice was still warm. The avocado/tofu musubi was so-so, not much flavor. The beef sukiyaki musubi also had a raw egg yolk. It was okay. What was really disappointing was the chicken. The second piece I tried was not fully cooked. I just threw it away. read more

I was so excited to try the Beef Sukiyaki omusubi. After a few bites of only rice, I decided to bite one of the corners for a taste of the beef. To my utter disgust, as I was chewing, I noticed that there was a black looking string intertwined in the meat. It didn't look like a shredded beef piece. I pulled out the "string" and lo and behold, it was a black, inch-long, human hair. I am utterly shocked that there can be hair mixed INTO the beef filling. I threw the rest of the omusubi away. I tried to call the restaurant at least 10 times but no one has answered. This is awful and I warn other customers to check their food before they take a bite. EDIT: Omusubi was excellent in handling this issue and we received a full refund. The customer service was excellent. read more
