    Let me preface this review by saying that I'm a frequent traveler to Japan and I'm from Hawaii. We tried the Korean bbq beef, Teri salmon, and tuna mayo from here. Everything was prepared well individually but I wasn't that satisfied with the musubi as a whole. The musubi did tend to fall apart after biting (especially the bbq beef). It's slightly too pricey in my opinion as well. I think for the three musubi it came out to just under $16. That being said, it's a good option if you're craving musubi or something that reminds you of home as I'm not sure what else there is in the area.

    Stumbled upon onigiru from their bright onigiri orange lights on the other side of the stage. The food is fresh and approachable. The onigiri was kind of like a spam musubi with meat in the middle, triangle formed and with a nice piece of seaweed wrapped. Goes well with the brewery nearby. The poke was great sized and appealing, thank you to the two gals in front with a warm smile and good suggestions. Would come back!

    i was craving some onigiri, so i found this spot online when i was in the area and placed an order for pickup. it's located in a little market-style food park with a bunch of other food options and plenty of seating, so it's a nice place to hang out with friends, family, or even just spend some time on your own. this shop reminded me a lot of ricebunn in irvine, with the menu and packaging feeling almost identical. i'm not sure if they're related at all, but just something to note if you're familiar with that shop. regardless, the quality of the food was really good and filling. i ended up getting the quartet with the salmon, crab, spicy tuna mayo, and shrimp, and all were delish!

    If you haven't try these yet and happened to be in the area then yes, try it since it's filling and cheapest among all the places here at Steel Craft. Plenty of parking spaces around the place and it located at the front (near the Euclid Street). Easy and small menu with plenty of choices for the filling/topping. Nice and friendly service, foods are very straightforward hey forward with rice, sea-wee wrapper and topping. It's good & tasty with the sauce (xtra pay) but overall it's good. For the prices, some can say it's abit costly and some say it's okey. But overall it's good, quick, tasty and filling plus the cheapest meals in the complex. The dining area is in the central of the place and is clean & covered with breezes. Quite nice and good vibe overall.

    The concept is great. But it didn't blow my mind. I wish the food was hotter when we received it. The flavor was good but all familiar flavors. Nothing out of turn ordinary. The service was great! Very kind. I asked my son if he would want to come back and he said "maybe". For context my son is a sushi LOVER!

    Flavors are on point! And super refreshing for the warm weather. I loved pairing it with the spicy cucumber salad. Great balance of flavors. I also enjoyed that the rice and protein had great ratios! I hate when one is more than the other and this place got it right :) next time I'm back in the area I'm def going to get more! Additionally, the service was excellent! Really sweet and helpful.

    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.

    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.

    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.

We ordered the 16-piece Sashimi Box, which included bluefin tuna, cherry salmon, kanpachi, kuro dai, shima aji, toro, snapper, clam, mackerel and amberfish. Everything was unbelievably fresh and beautifully presented. The quality of the fish really stood out. We learned that the chef is extremely particular about his fish. If something comes in from a vendor and isn't up to his standards, he sends it back. He also doesn't cut the fish until you actually order it. After eating here, you understand why. The texture, temperature and freshness were on another level. We also had the scallops topped with uni and caviar , which were amazing, and the tuna toast was so simple but SO good. Honestly, there wasn't one thing we wouldn't order again. Lynn, the owner, was gracious and wonderful, she made us feel so welcome. Derek was our server and was equally wonderful and attentive. You really feel the warmth of a family-run restaurant here. Exceptional sushi, exceptional quality and genuinely wonderful people. We can't wait to come back!!

We went on Friday night and I was surprised that we were seated right away. The service was great and friendly and the restaurant itself felt cozy and high-end. We ordered the garlic parm fries, momonoki chicken wings, and dashi pesto. The garlic parm fries were crispy and fresh and were like the best version of a McDonald's or Potato Corner fry. I could smell the garlic as soon as the fries came to the table but unfortunately, the taste wasn't as strong as I was hoping. Still really delicious, but the high price point means I probably wouldn't order this again. The chicken wings came out next and they were HUGE. They were super juicy inside and the fish sauce glaze was strong and had a nice kick. I appreciated that despite being glazed, the wings were still pretty crispy. The slaw that came on the size was a little heavy on the mayo and had a bright peppery taste. Definitely a nice fresh component to an otherwise heavy meal. Finally, the dashi pesto came out and the udon was perfectly bouncy. The pesto had a subtle seafood flavor and was very herbaceous. Most pesto I'm used to pack more of a sharp, garlicky punch, but this one leaned heavily into the fresh basil which I enjoyed. The scallops on top were also cooked beautifully. I was a bit sad that we received each dish at very different times, the dash pasta coming out much much later than the fries but they did warn us after we placed our order that the kitchen would be very busy so I appreciated the heads up. All in all, I think this is such a fun and classy fusion restaurant and they executed very well.

I'll definitely keep coming back to try more of their dishes.
