Staff were very friendly and interior looks very nice. I tried the soft serve, matcha latte, fried chicken and the salmon ikura omusubi The matcha soft serve was delicious, would come back just for this. Matcha latte was also not bad, it could have been a bit stronger but overall I could tell they were using a good quality matcha. Omusubi definitely needs work for the steep price. At $7-7.50 each I would rather go to some of the local Japanese supermarkets a few minutes drive down the street for cheaper and bigger omusubis. The menu photos show plump omusubis full of filling, but these were about half the size I was expecting. My friend's was a bit hollow in the middle and she said she only had one or two small pieces of meat for the sukiyaki filled one. Fried chicken was just ok. Chicken wasn't too dry but could've been more crispy on the outside. Also was a bit pricey at $5.50 for just 4 small pieces. I hope the omusubi can be improved and I would love to see some more traditional filling options. It's a great concept to add to the Enclave and I think it can thrive with just a bit of improvement. 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

Food is very good! Staff is nice. Would be great if the prices were a little but less but I get its hard and the ingredients are real good. Service could be quicker but that should improve as they refine their processes/team work. Loved the Salmon w/ roe and beef sukiaki masubis. Rounding up on my rating cause ppl are being unreasonably about this place 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

This was our second time visiting, and we were excited to finally try the sukiyaki since it was sold out during our first visit. In total I ordered 9 omusubi to help support the business and share among friends. Unfortunately, after taking a bite, we found a hair in the sukiyaki. We had ordered five sukiyaki omusubis in total, but after discovering the hair, I completely lost my appetite and my group and I couldn't bring ourselves to eat any of them. It was a very disappointing and unpleasant experience, especially since we had been looking forward to trying it for so long. This was right when they first opened as well read more

Omusubi - Japanese Near Me - Torrance, California

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Omusubi - Human hair found mixed into the Beef Sukiyaki filling. - Japanese Near Me - Torrance, California

The omusubi was literally all rice and their matcha that they claim to get from kyoto and customer service was NOTHING like japan. I just got back from japan 2 weeks ago and i know what quality matcha and customer service taste and feels like but this place is NOT authentic at all. Firstly the matcha latte taste like milk and no taste of matcha at all and when i asked to have extra matcha they said yes and i PAID for it and then when they gave me a drink they said sorry the barista said we cant do extra matcha and i told them well u should have disclosed that when i placed my order and PAID for it because i would have chose not to order had i known. Like dont bait and switch. and then not even refund me after making me pay for extra matcha??? Unprofessional unethical way of running business to promise something then not deliver and take your money for it. And they were so incredibly rude completely unapologetic and the matcha in its current state tasted so bad like just milk. Not sure why they have long lines, very misleading that its the same thing as japan because it truly is far from an authentic japanese experience. Another spot where the owner needs to check his employees manners and learn to be kinder to the customers that will be the reason your business survives. Definitely not a place that deserves the hype it is getting and i certainly will not be a returning customer after this experience. read more

Their spicy tuna is recommended and theyre right about it. The salmon is good but without the roe for me, I came back the same day to order another salmon without it and they forgot to remove it :( I was able to sample their lemonade and im definitely ordering it the next time i come! read more

We came during their opening weekend and the entire wait was probably around 40 minutes. They had a promotion of a free matcha or lemonade with a $30+. The matcha is stronger in taste with a light sweetness. The vanilla cone was very refreshing and a bit on the icy side. Their menu was limited for the weekend, so they didn't have the entire menu. We tried three onigiris as part of the trio combo. The filling was very light, it was mostly rice. The crab was soooo fishy, we couldn't finish it because that's how bad it was. The chicken was lacking too, we got the last order of the chicken and the portion was crazy. Ridiculous how it was $5.50 for 3 tiny nuggets. There's no indoor seating, but there's outdoor seating. read more

My friend told me that there's a new food spot at Enclave, where we study sometimes. So yesterday when we went I made sure to try it out. I ordered Matcha Latte, Yakiniku Musubi and their fried chicken with barbecue sauce. Even though the line was a little bit long, it moves pretty fast and you get your order within 10minutes from what I experienced. The Matcha Latte was good and the yakiniku was pretty good as well. What stood out was the chicken or maybe that's just me. But it was soft and barbecue sauce was great as well. Can't wait for the other menu to be released. read more

Paid 8.00 for 3/4 portion of rice.. you can buy in any Japanese market around the area for way less price and better filling portion. The Yuzu matcha was delicious though but a small cup for $8.50... I hope this store last...and improve the service in a long run. read more

Terrible onigiri. My company got this for work. I already knew it was overpriced but never tasted it before. I tried the spicy tuna. The rice was good quality but the filling was terrible. They also need to pack the rice a little because the onigiri fell apart when eating. Overall it was bland and not worth the price. I rather go to nijiya, tokyo central, just make it at home. read more

Omusubi - Japanese Near Me - Torrance, California

I love this place. Easy to order. I felt it was decently priced. Rice was warm and cooked well. Between 4 of us, we ordered all flavors and a side of fried chicken. We all like the beef sukiyaki w egg-Nice balance. We also got the the beef yakiniku but it felt similar to the sukiyaki. I think it should have been more smokey for a yakiniku flavor, but tasted similar to the beef sukiyaki. My top 3 were the beef sukiyaki, the spicy tuna and salmon and roe. My son liked the crab and tarako. My other son liked the fried chicken and the salmon ikura. It would be nice if they also had a siracha mayo version w either salmon or crab. Overall, we enjoyed it and food was good.. read more

Checked out OMUSUBI over opening weekend and was really impressed by this new concept at The Enclave! There was a long line of excited customers, but it moved quickly and the staff did an awesome job keeping things running smoothly. The interior of the shop is really nice and the staff was super attentive, friendly, and provided great customer service. I tried the beef sukiyaki omusubi which was delicious with really high-quality ingredients and great flavor. The chicken karaage was honestly some of the best I've had -- perfectly crispy with an addictive seasoning, plus a delicious sriracha mayo and barbecue sauce on the side. I also tried the matcha latte which was easily some of the best quality matcha I've had in the LA area. Looking at their website, I see that their matcha and rice are sourced directly from farms in Japan, which really comes through in the quality of the food and drinks. Overall, you can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the experience. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the South Bay! read more

The food was delicious. The service was friendly. This was my second time giving them a visit. I can't wait to go back soon!

As a Japanese person, I can honestly say these are some of the best onigiri I've had in the United States. The rice quality is outstanding, the fillings are authentic, and everything is seasoned with a clear understanding of how Japanese rice should taste. The nori is also excellent--crisp, fragrant, and far superior to what most restaurants use. Comparing these to the onigiri sold at Nijiya or Mitsuwa is like comparing convenience store sushi to a good sushi restaurant. They simply aren't in the same category. If you can't tell the difference, that may actually be a blessing--you'll save a lot of money in life. I'll definitely be back. read more

Freshly handmade, and you can really taste the difference. The salmon and roe were very fresh and plentiful. A bit pricey, but these days, having fresh and safe ingredients--especially seafood--is worth paying for. Delicious food and great quality! I'm not usually a sandwich person--I'm definitely more of a rice eater. I should called myself from Riceology association-so these salmon rice omusubi were perfect for me. Two of them made a satisfying lunch and kept me full. For others, they could also be a quick, healthy, and delicious snack. Parking is easy, and the location is convenient and easy to find. read more

Such a great, casual spot to grab a healthy snack or meal. Impeccable service (traditional Japanese politeness), clean, welcoming and thoughtful design. Even on a busy Saturday the wait for our food was only about 5 minutes and we had no problem finding outdoor seating. We got two matcha drinks, one plain (modified with no added simple syrup) and one strawberry which were delicious. We had three omusubi--the avocado & tofu (great texture, could use a little seasoning), salmon & row (modified with no roe) and one beef (tender and flavorful). We also tried the chicken bites which were crunchy and tender. Will definitely be back! read more

It was basically just an over priced rice ball. I tried the spicy tuna and while flavor was ok there was hardly any spicy tuna - 90% rice 2nd one I tried was tofu avocado and that was even more rice and no tofu at all, mainly, some avocado and definitely needed sauce. If it was $2-3 maybe I'd try again. Definitely not for $7 Very disappointed, over priced read more

Not very worth it for the price . $13 for 2 $18 for 3. I thought it will be Atleast big but the portion is too small. And VERY Salty. Not overeating its soooo salty specially the karaage chicken. The flavor/taste of chicken is an acquired taste. Not for my taste. The 2 star is for the matcha. Its good not very great. I was just in Japan 3 weeks ago and tasted Uji matcha myself, so if you are gonna claim its UJi matcha the employee should know the information for the said matcha but unfortunately they dont and the taste is not the same. read more

I have eaten here twice, once the opening day, and again this past Sunday! The food was pretty good. I thought it lacked flavor, and was very rice heavy. Expensive for each piece, in my opinion! I didn't understand the spicy tuna which seemed to be bland and cooked... where was the spice? The salmon roll was good-tasty and the meat with egg was interesting. I actually loved the chicken Karage. I would go back for that. The service was great and efficient, but not much ambience because it's just a little takeout place.
