    Teriyaki salmon nigiri
    Jeff L.

    I had high hopes for this spot since it seemed similar to Tenori at the Hangar in LBX, which I like. I think OniGuru's biggest appeal is its location in Steelcraft, which has plenty of food options and great vibes. The food at OniGuru was a bit of a disappointment. The nori was too chewy and the rice balls fell apart very easily. The teriyaki salmon nigiri had a decent flavor but it didn't taste like teriyaki. The bulgogi was more dry like beef jerky, and it didn't taste like bulgogi either. I'd definitely come back to Steelcraft again, but I'd probably pick a different food vendor next time.

    First time here. Very fresh and delicious. Service was excellent. Would come here again.

    I just stopped by for drinks as I was thirsty and sadly Tea Otter is permanently closed. I got the Yuzu Lemonade and Strawberry Lemonade. It was easy to order on the iPad screen and drinks came out fast. They were tasty and refreshing but the size of the drinks are small. My kids kept stealing my strawberry lemonade though so it was that good! I'd love to come back and try their food sometime.

    The Korean bbq bowl so delicious and filling and has so much meat. The onigiri was delicious the rice was firm and well seasoned and the salmon was on point.

    My little mentee picked this spot for a snack so we came to check it out. OniGuru is located at the SteelCraft food hall in Garden Grove. There is plenty of parking in the city's public lot. There was a young man at the front doing nothing, didn't even say hi, didn't even try to take any orders. You order at the kiosk. My mentee asked if he tried or recommended something, and he was just like... quiet. They don't even have that many flavors, just crab, kbbq, salmon, shrimp, tuna and vegan. It's not that much to remember. Or even if you didn't eat it, what's popular? *Shake my head* If you come here, don't expect for it to be authentic. It's more of a fusion play on rice balls. We both went with the OniGuru Rice Ball Trio ($13.50) and this comes with 3 rice balls of your choice. My mentee picked the crab, tuna mayo, and spicy salmon (extra $0.50) and I went with the shrimp, spicy tuna mayo, and kbbq beef (extra $0.50). The food took a while to prepare. It was visually appearing. There was a decent amount of protein for being a rice ball, but the taste was mediocre. I liked the shrimp the most and the spicy tuna the least out of the items I ordered. The kbbq was not awful but it wasn't as good as I anticipated. When I came to return the tray I saw another struggling customer trying to ask staff questions and the young man looked as confused and unresponsive as he was with me so I actually told the other customer that I liked the shrimp to help them out. The food was a 3.5 but the awful service made it easy for me to decide to round down. I might have had a better experience with just the kiosk than someone standing there but not being helpful or responsive.

    Tuna Mayo (spicy)

    There are way better Onigiri out here in OC, head to Irvine if anything. I was only here for a friends hangout and keep in mind I didn't part take in any drinking so this is my honest review on the onigiris from this establishment. For roughly $5 each, its just a rice triangle shaped with filled protein. Not sure if we got the last batch of rice but rice was mushy and stale and it just falls apart. The tuna was so fishy, again, like it's been sitting in the fridge for a long period of time. Don't get me wrong, service was okay but the food, I wouldn't come back here. Vibes were cool, great place to hangout but the food is not it. Unless you're drinking and getting drunk, sure but if anything head to Junbi in Irvine, grab a matcha drink and their trio onigiri plate.

    I mean, it was fine! One of the more affordable options at the SteelCraft. It was simple onigiri! Rice was warm and a good texture, which was appreciated. The fillings were just okay in flavor. The truffle soy sauce definitely helped a lot (for $1.99 extra). Overall, not a must try! But it was a good snack while im the area.

    This spot is a cute onigiri (Japanese rice ball) food vendor located in the Steelecraft area, there is a really nice outdoor chilling a d eating area with a big screen that plays sports, alongside a handful of other food vendors, like an outside food court . I got 3 onigiri ; their salmon teriyaki, tuna mayo, and spicy tuna mayo. The salmon teriyaki was my favorite, it was delicious. The tuna mayo was pretty good, but i was not a fan of the spicy tuna mayo. The rice was not the softest, which is tastier for onigiri in my opinion, and the seaweed was a little chewy, the presentation also didn't look as amazing as other places Ive gone too. They have a wide menu of other types and drinks.

    This spot is located inside steel craft brewery. Ordering is very fast and easy (order through an ipad app) and I got my food out fairly quickly. I didn't know what to expect given the mixed reviews but the oniguru here is pretty tasty! Although I agree with the reviews that unfortunately the seaweed comes out somewhat soggy (maybe from the heat of the food) and not crispy at all. My favorite was the spicy tuna which had a mild but good amount of kick to it. I also liked the salmon and thought the saltiness was great. The bulgogi is super shredded and not what I expected from bulgogi (lacked the sweetness and a little more salty than normal) but not too bad although that was probably my least favorite.

    Shrimp Onigiri and Truffle Salt Edamame
    Michelle N.

    This is a small spot in SteelCraft located in Garden Grove. We originally came here to try Barrio, but ended up also getting a couple things here. We tried: Shrimp Onigiri: The shrimp was small and had a very powdery texture. It tasted like freezer burn shrimp. I honestly took one bite and that was it for me. Truffle Salt Edamame: This was a bit too overcooked for me. There was a lot of flavor and salt on them, but it was not properly mixed. There was a lot of excess water that was in the plate it was served in, so most of the salt got washed off. I definitely was not a fan of this spot. After trying the Onigiri spot in the University Town Center, I am would not be making the drive to this spot. The service here was not great. We ordered off a kiosk and got our food after someone else that ordered after us.

    Salmon, Tuna Mayo and Shrimp
    Amy H.

    We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge and I wanted to order something that 1) could be delivered 2) my daughter would eat. The food arrived almost exactly on-time. We ordered the KBBQ, Beef, Salmon and Tuna Mayo. All four was perfect - and they stayed together pretty well. The rice wasn't mushy, and was perfect and stayed together about 90%. The shrimp was actually pretty yummy and they were the perfect size to pack about 4-5 in the Onigiri. The Salmon and Tuna wasn't fish and was very flavorful. Overall this was a good thumbs up! The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that on a few, the seaweed was put in the wrong spot and under the parchment paper? Also, the size of the seaweed wasn't the same size as the photos? Which looked like it was much larger than the onigiri - which is perfect for wrapping. Of course, the seaweed shrank because it took in moisture of the rice. It would have been good to have the seaweed completely separated so that it would have been crunchy - like the combini onigiri that has a plastic wrap that separates the rice from the seaweed - therefore preserving the crunchiness of the seaweed. We ordered the Lemonades - Strawberry and Yuzu - and both were perfect and not too sweet! Overall I would say yes to the food. Unfortunately I cannot speak for the ambiance as i had my order delivered.

    Salmon and garlic shrimp

    My first visit here, i was not too impressed. The rice was room temperature, the seaweed was limp, the toppings were only on top, and I essentially just paid for fistful of compressed rice with less than 1 oz of meat. I decided to visit SteelCraft again and took some oniguru back home. They have improved a lot. Their meat is now included inside their rice so you're getting about 3 oz of meat now. The rice is warm and flavored with furikake and sesame seeds. The only reason why I could not give 5* is because of the kbbq beef flavor. Its so dry and the whole thing fell apart in my hands. I ate only about 1/2 because the other 1/2 fell into my car somewhere.

    Dry. Although the onigiri were decent sized with a lot of filling, the fillings were so dry.

    This little place is surrounded by other busy businesses, so parking can be a bit of an issue…read more When you walk inside this place just feels comforting. Fairly sizeable, the art is great. I came in during soft opening, so there were some great deals. 99 cent Sapporo on draft and they're actually a decent size for the price tag. Each sushi roll have 5 pieces instead of the usual 8, so that it's a good, "just enough" of a roll. They do have some rolls under 10 dollars. We did order the Sensual Pleasure roll, which was actually still a decent size for a 5 piece roll. It was actually really good. We ordered both the yellowtail and the salmon collar, those were basically melt in your mouth and the skin were nice and crispy. Baked Mussels are a must for me, they're and these ones don't disappoint. The bento box was $20, but it came with so much. I got the Chicken Karaage, beef teriyaki, and the donkatsu. The salad on it had that amazing dressing on it, and of course it had rice. It's very much worth the price, and great for those who don't like fish! We also wanted to try the tonkatsu ramen. The broth was rich and creamy, the noodles had that perfect bounce. The chashu was tender and complemented the ramen. Last we ordered the sashimi plate. The fish was fresh and delicious. Now they offered their spicy sauce, which I tried. I love me some hot sauce, this was actually a bit warm. It was really good with the sashimi though! The service was great, the waiter was very helpful throughout the entire service. And everything was amazing. I do recommend it, it's like a 10 minute drive from Disneyland so if you want sushi, try this place out!

It's definitely a solid spot that we visit often. Tom Yum Ramen -- 5/5 This is a must try. It's spicy, unique, and just perfect. Pro Tip: They actually have unlimited noodle refills, so you definitely won't leave hungry. Beef Belly Curry Bowl -- 3/5 The flavor was actually delicious, but the temperature was a total fail. The ramen came out steaming hot first, but this bowl came out lukewarm. I felt guilty saying something, but I told them it wasn't hot and they made it again. Even the second one came out lukewarm! I think they think if the rice is hot then the curry is fine, but it really wasn't. I was going to say the service was great, but I was disappointed they didn't really listen or change their cooking method the second time. Karaage -- 5/5 Everything you want in karaage. It was super crispy and delicious, and the sauce it comes with is great. Final Thoughts: I'd still come back because the ramen and the vibes are so good, but I'd probably stick to the steaming hot dishes next time and skip the bowls. It's a solid spot for a night out, just hope your food comes out hot!
