    Poke Toppings Bar
    Jamie N.

    A lil pricey for rice balls, but it was good to give them a try. They have a few high top tables inside, which can accommodate up to 10 people, but it seemed like they were pretty popular for takeout. After ordering, it does take a bit of time to prep. I think we waited about 30 minutes for our food to arrive. We tried a little bit of everything with an order of the Quartet ($16.59): - 2x KBBQ Prime Beef; $5.49 a la carte - 1x Teriyaki Salmon; $5.49 a la carte - 1x Tuna Mayo; $4.99 a la carte The rice ball size is pretty big and seasoned with furikake seasoning, but they aren't packed very well. After the first bite, the onigiri will fall apart, so keep a spoon handy. Beef and tuna were good, but the salmon teriyaki fell flat. 1) why is the salmon teriyaki so saucy 2) husband kept saying it was chicken teriyaki lol When I think of poke, I think of the protein, sauce and toppings all mixed together before setting on base. However, everything was assembled as layers and they were a bit heavy handed on sauce. The bottom of my bowl felt a lil soupy, so I'd opt to get sauce on the side next time. This was my order for a 3-protein poke bowl ($14.99): - Base: Brown Rice & Salad - Protein: 2x salmon and 1x hawaiian salmon - Sauce: Ponzu, Spicy Mayo and House (you can choose up to 3) - Toppings: cucumber, masago, seaweed, pickled jalapeno, cherry tomatoes (you can choose 5) - Crunchies: furikake and nori Overall, it was nice to check it out, but it won't be our first choice for this type of cuisine.

    Hawaiian Salmon HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    This is the best Poke spot from Ladera to Irvine. HANDS DOWN. The food is so fresh, the Hawaiian salmon was delicious. The owner is so awesome. But the food. High quality. Super yummmy. Loved it and making this the usual rotation poke spot.

    Saw this place listed number one on my recommended list. Ended up taking a night drive with my wife from 15 minutes down the road wanting to try this place out. Initially came for the onigiri because why not? But came in for a classic poke bowl, can't go wrong with it. This place is called ONIGURU after all, so don't forget to get a side or onigiri. Love the play on wordsand love the atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service was great. In the picture: Left: Poke Bowl (S) Double Spicy Tuna and Hawaiian Salmon with masago, crab meat, fried onions, and seaweed flakes. House Sauce, Ponzu, Spicy Mayo Right: Poke Bowl (S) Spicy Tuna, Hawaiian Tuna, Hawaiian Salmon with masago, scallions, fried onions, seaweed flakes, sesame seeds, chili flakes. Spicy Mayo, House, Teriyaki, Sesame Oil Definitely willing to come back for multiple orders of onigiri

    OniGuru, as the name would imply, sells Japanese onigiri as well as rice bowls and poke. However, I was primarily interested in the onigiri, as we don't have many options in this side of OC. My sister and I both tried the tuna mayo, KBBQ, crab salad, and teriyaki salmon. Tuna Mayo (2.5/5) was decent, but a little disappointing. I was excited to try this flavor, since it was my favorite during my trip to Japan. I think that there wasn't enough mayo and the tuna didn't taste as fresh. KBBQ (3/5) was about what I expected. Good, but I probably would not order it regularly. Crab salad and teriyaki salmon (4/5) were the best flavors, in my opinion. I gobbled these two for brunch. They were creamy, and full of flavor. I love onigiri and I'm so happy that we finally have an onigiri place in south OC. With a few tweaks, I think that this can easily be part of my regular food rotation whenever I'm in town.

    I highly recommend the food here it was soooo good!! Zeynep was great and very helpful

    Oniguru is hands down one of my favorite finds! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite feels thoughtfully prepared--especially the onigiri, which is next-level delicious. But what really made my visit special was Zeynep. From the moment I walked in, she welcomed me with warmth and genuine care. Her energy, attention to detail, and clear passion for hospitality made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. Zeynep is the kind of person who turns a great meal into an unforgettable visit. I'll absolutely be coming back--partly for the amazing food, but just as much to see her again. Oniguru is lucky to have her!

    Got this as a take-out. Was excited to try an onigiri store in South OC. Unfortunately, do not think it was worth it at all. We got the: - Oniguru Rice Ball Quartet (3/5): We got salmon, crab, vegan, and tuna. Nothing memorable at all... everything was so "mid." Ratios of filling to rice.. seemed like there was a lot more rice. - Shrimp Oniguru Rice Bowl (2/5): Shrimp are so small. Together with the rice, everything tasted even more bland than it was. I think there was also sauce in there somewhere? But seriously disappointing. - Spicy Garlic Corn (5/5): Luckily, literally cannot mess up corn. It was spicy, and garlic-y. The best part of the meal. Wanted to like this place, but was really let down.

There's also a wide variety of sauces including spicy mayo, spicy ponzu, garlic ponzu, eel sauce, etc. I can see it being intimidating if you're new to the poke world because it's a lot of sauces to choose from or combine together. The selection of actual toppings is pretty standard with the usual go to - seaweed salad, faux crab, cucumbers, furikake, etc. What stands out is the portion size. They use the same ice cream scooper as other places but unlike many places, they do 2-3 scoops of the ice cream scooper per protein and the amount of crab salad they give seems to be about 2x as well. So all in all, it's actually a very filling bowl as far as protein is concerned (versus filling it up with a lot of rice or lettuce). They also have sushi rolls in a case by the cash register and they seemed to range from $6.95 to $8.95 which is a nice grab and go option or if you're not hungry enough for a whole poke bowl. I just saw on Yelp that people were able to get kid sized bowls. I didn't see that available on the signage so I'm not sure if they have that anymore (or maybe it's a secret menu item). I only saw regular and large.

My husband and I decided to do a date night along with our dog, Suki. We walked over to Poke Co. They have an outside patio and we went to check out the menu. We ordered the small poke bowl with white rice, salmon and tuna, cucumbers, avocado, green onions, crispy fried onions, ginger, poke sauce, dragons breath sauce, and the mango habanero sauce. I also ordered the kids 2-tender combo meal. Instead of tenders they gave us boneless wings which was fine. I had also asked for a side of ranch and extra packets of soy sauce. We got the poke bowl first and the wings came out shortly afterwards. The poke was fresh and I enjoyed the toppings we chose. The wings were super crunchy and delicious. I can see why they get busy during lunch hours. They have less people stopping by around dinner but it's still pretty good. If you enjoy poke and wings, this is the spot. Service was great and we enjoyed sitting on the patio with Suki. They even gave me an extra bowl so I could give my dog some water. 5 stars.

I wish I took some pictures of the bowls that were ordered because I don't know it looks kind of cool with all the colors and different foods. Maybe I'll get better next time.
