I love Oori! It's the perfect new addition to the Rockridge neighborhood! If you get three triangles it comes with mixed greens on the side. The mixed greens you get are kind of paltry, but then again I came here for the rice triangles - not the salad! My staples when I come here are always the short rib and spicy tuna poke triangles. Definitely worth trying and is a fun place to get a quick bite. read more

Oori Triangles - Unagi, spicy tuna poke and short rib triangles - Japanese Near Me - Albany, California

I love this place and have been coming here every time I am in Albany Berkeley! Their regular chicken teriyaki is so delicious and large portion which is great! Last night I also tried their regular short rib which was also delicious. This place is fast with limited seating and parking is usually quite easy for us when we went there. Next time I will try their spicy pork. The rice triangles are delicious too but not as a good value as the regular plates. Yum! read more

These "rice triangles" are so ono! Everything about them was heaven. The rice and the spicy tuna was delish. It was a really nice spot to stop by for some quick grub. The service was nice and food was out pretty quick. It has more of a lunch spot feel than a sit down chat with friends restaurant feel. I hope to be able to stop by on my next trip. read more

I stopped by this place to try it out since I always see people eating outside the restaurant and it looks and smelled delicious. I ordered two crab triangles and two spicy ahi tuna triangles. My favorite was definitely the ahi tuna. It was so flavorful and packed with spices and sauces. The crab was not bad...it was soft and had a mayonnaise like filling. I have yet to try the other kinds of triangles but I really like this place. I see it more as a snack than a meal that will fill you up but I will definitely be back. read more

I rate this place a 4/5 because the food is so good, I've been coming here for over a year now, the workers are really friendly all the time so service is good. BUT one thing I would love this place to improve is THEIR DRINK OPTIONS! Bro literally all they got is Coca Cola and Sparkling water , like come on, upgrade your game, one time they had Manzanitas but I never seen them again. So PLEASE, upgrade your drink game, I wanna have more options :) read more

my bf and i are big fans of oori and order it very often. the spicy pork is always on our mind with the crispy coke with our order...however!!! on 3/11 i received a spicy pork plate with a hair in it :/ what's going on!!! read more

delicuous food. nice size portions. customer service is pretty good. I love all their meats. My personal favorite is the chicken teriyaki and short rib. Highly recommended read more

A very trendy shop! We tried the crab filling, salmon filling, chicken teriyaki filling, and the short rib filling. My personal favorite was the short rib; the seasoning was great. The chicken teriyaki could've used more seasoning and kick; the texture was good but it was just pretty plain. For 7, our total was about $25 so I think it was worth it and I'd come here again if I'm ever in town. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. I do really like that they are environmentally conscious and don't have a landfill container, just recycling and compost cause that's where everything they use goes in! read more

I LOVEE this place!!!! There was a time where I would come 3-4 times in a week. Its the kind of food that wont dissapoint you when you want home style cooking. Vegan options like the spicy tofu, regular tofu or salads. For meat options: honestly everything on this menu is good. Whenever I want asian food I will order here. Very short wait time. Cute small shop on solano ave. Outdoor seating aswell. I haven't had oori in a while and I miss it. Edamame comes with the meals, its a unique touch. I've also had the salmon tacos and they add a good amount of fish on there. Everything on the menu is good. read more

Oori Triangles - Crab triangle and salmon - Japanese Near Me - Albany, California

I came across this place as I was going to Trader Joe's, and thought I'd grab a quick bite to eat. This place sells onigiri, rice triangles, as well as rice plates and salads. So good for both small bites and lunch/dinner. The restaurant is a Japanese Korean fusion, so the onigiri flavors weren't your traditional fillings. They have some cool flavors though, like shrimp, kimchi, chicken/beef, etc. The interior was really clean, with plenty of space. The employees got to my order pretty quickly, and in general were pretty friendly. I got the short ribs and unagi rice triangles. They were both pretty salty/saucy, so I think getting a blander onigiri, like the plain or ume (plum), might have been a good idea. Overall the meat portion was pretty good. The short ribs were very tender and juicy (pro tip: the short ribs are really saucy and tend to leak, so make sure to eat over your plate lol). The only thing I would say is that the rice and seaweed wrapping is kinda average. There wasn't a lot of rice, the warm rice was kind of gummy so it's like a rice patty, and the steam from the rice left the seaweed wrapper soft and chewy. The seaweed was also surprisingly thick, whereas the onigiri I'm used to is usually thin and crispy. I could see myself stopping by again for a quick bite, but this place wouldn't be a must hit on my list. read more

Oori Triangles - Short rib (back) and unagi (front) - Japanese Near Me - Albany, California

Had these several times. Always happy with what we order. Everyone loves their triangles!

I love Oori! Their portions are always generous and the food is always tasty. The item I always get is the 3 meat plate with beef, chicken, and spicy shrimp. It's definitely enough foos for at least two adults, or if I'm sharing with my two youngest, enough for three. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because I feel they can do a better job with cleaning of the dining area. Hence the reason I usually order out. Other than that, I would definitely recommend it. read more

the salmon and short rib triangles are my fave this place is bomb, workers are super nice and you get ur food so fast

Rice triangles fillings are fresh, hot, and high quality. Portions are large. The 3 triangles meal deal makes a good dinner: edamame and ginger included. The sitting area is limited but has a TV broadcasting sports or whatever you may request. Make sure you tip the staff well if you leave your table in shambles. They are al busy cooking your fresh food for you. I watched as a disgusting family left the aftermath of their two kids throwing rice and chopsticks on the floor. The family shamelessly walked out without saying, "sorry," or attempting to clean. Maybe a larger top would be nice too? And since seating is so limited, the disgusting family impacted other customers from sitting. DO NOT BE SLOBS. read more

We did a big order of 18 rice triangles for a family gathering. They turned out perfectly! Always delicious and the order was put together exactly as intended. We especially love the teriyaki beef and the kimchee tofu flavor. Thank you for the wonderful lunch and experience! read more

Finally I got the chance to stop by and try this place out. I ordered the rice ribs plate, and the salmon salad. The salad was good and it was moist. The ribs plate, portion was great but it didn't taste like korean ribs. It taste ok. Service was very friendly. I'll come by again to try other meals on the menu. read more

Always so tasty!! I get the ahi tuna and bbq short ribs triangles! So much flavor and really good meat to rice ratio. I tried the crab triangle, it's not worth the money, it's imitation crab and doesn't give you that flavor that the other options do. Edamame that comes with the triangles is yummy and I like the limes to go with it. read more

Oori Triangles - Bbq Short Rib Triangle, edamame and spicy ahi tuna - Japanese Near Me - Albany, California

An update: What I ate: shrimp, spicy tofu, and pickled plum triangles Visit date: November 28, 2017 First time? No. This place is not consistent. Today's visit debunks everything in my initial review. The shrimp was flavorless, the rice not well seasoned, and the seaweed was TOUGH. I looked like I a wild animal trying to rip meat off a bone. I did however try two new fillings - the pickled plum and the spicy tofu, both approved and carried a nice flavor. The plum was sour and salty; the tofu had good char, making it feel very hearty. Perhaps if I ever visit again I would get a rice plate instead of a rice triangle so I won't have to deal with going caveman. Also on this visit, an inattentive cashier who appeared to be answering a text message during my transaction. Proceed with caution. read more

Very delicious! I loved every single bite of it. I got 6 different triangles and shared it with one other person, so I was able to try a variety. We got the salmon, spicy shrimp, unagi, short rib, ume, and crab and they were all great! My favorites were the crab, unagi, and spicy shrimp. read more

This place was pretty good, when you order 3 triangles the edamame is added on for free. Miso soup was pretty good and their short rib was pretty tasty, except for the spicy pork which I wasn't a fan of very much but it didn't taste bad. I definitely recommend the spicy tuna as well as the short rib triangles. Give this place a try, the staff was friendly and respected the Covid restrictions. read more

No seating but that is understandable. When it is busy it gets extremely crowded but other then that the servers are normally verry nice and the food is allways great read more

The tuna onigiri was surprisingly good. I'd say much better quality than many sushi joints, probably because Oori is using the tuna for this specific purpose, and some of the sushi joints use scraps in their spicy tuna. I would come back just to eat this. The chicken was overly greasy though. It was a feeling that sat with me for a little while. read more

I had Oori Rice Triangles bookmarked on Yelp for a while now but I never checked it out til recently! I'm not sure why it took me so long to finally pass by but I'm sure glad I did. I'm all about finding tasty cheap eats and this is just the place! If you're looking for a quick bite I highly recommend this place. As for the food my friend and I ordered the Spare Rib, Crab, and Spicy Pork rice squares. If you order 3 it comes with ginger and edamame. I thought it would come shelled but it came in a small sauce cup kinda bummed about that part. We also got a small spare rib plate. The food was very tasty! I love how simple everything is but yet everything was very flavorful! They have a good variety of options for the rice triangles. The crab was pretty tasty but I think my favorite one was the Spare Rib! The place itself is super small. There are a few tables inside and outdoor seating as well which is nice. I'll def come back soon to try out the other flavors. read more

Where have you been all my life, edamame with fresh lime juice squeezed on top?!? So quick! Ordered a grilled salmon without teriyaki sauce and an ahi spicy tuna. They cooked the salmon and assembled the spicy tuna and handed it to me within seconds of me finishing the transaction with my card. The spicy tuna was good and spicy! At least when I went. The salmon was also good. Medium sized grilled chunks instead of smaller flaked fish as is traditional. They also give you a way greater topping*-to-rice ratio than I'm used to with authentic Japanese onigiri. Maybe they upped the protein ratio for us gluttonous Americans. Shocked that one Yelper still thought there was too much rice and not enough filling. *(Well, imho they're fillings not toppings cuz they go inside the nori...) I actually like the onigiri at Clover Bakery slightly better because the nori doesn't touch the rice until you eat it, preventing it from getting soggy. But here the toppings/fillings are cooked when you order them so they're technically fresher here. A Sophie's Choice level dilemma (am I allowed to make a joke about a movie/book I've never seen/read?), to be sure. Oddly the edamame was grilled instead of steamed or boiled. This didn't add or detract from the taste much but it never occurred to me to add lime until I got this here and it came with a wedge of lime. Surprisingly brilliant. We beat the rush apparently because while we were sitting the line grew to out the door. But don't be daunted by the line, it's super fast. Update: we've now been here 3x and tried 7 of the 13 different flavors (plus repeats), 14 if you count plain: Good: * Spicy tuna - both our favorite * Salmon - almost as good as home * Short rib - slightly sweet but not overly so Okay: Unagi - good but a little bit too sweet; could've been worse. Don't understand why they only have this one as a double. Why can't I get *any* of them as a double? Chicken - a little burnt Tofu - was too bland without sauce. Need to try the spicy tofu or the kimchi tofu Bad: Crab - this had real crab in it but it was extremely mushy and over mayo-d read more

Food was very good the salmon was one of the best I've ever had and the chicken was just as good

Food was quick and it was good. A bit expensive for the portion. Love the contactless. Too small inside and too many people. Workers need to speak up and have people Wait outside or at least limit amount of people Inside. Definitely not a family style dinner or lunch. But good lunch for a single person. read more

Something changed recently, not sure if it's a fluke but they didn't have their signature crab triangle. Also the tofu used to have teriyaki sauce and now is just plain tofu, which I wouldn't pay for. We tried the salmon instead of crab and it had bones and no sauce. This used to be our go to place for quick, tasty, cheap lunch. Not sure if this change is permanent but will definitely be avoiding for awhile. read more

I came here because friend recommended to me. I am glad I tried it. The Spicy Pork very tasty, seasoned well. The Short Ribs boneless and taate delicious. The Three Item Plate come with more meats and rice, no seaweed. If you don't eat a lot, I would recommend to get triangle. The price is reasonable. read more

I occasionally visit Oori Rice Triangles for a quick meal after volunteering in American Red Cross. I always order the Spicy Ahi Tuna Triangle ($3.64). Usually for the triangles, 1-2 would fill me and that would be about ~$8 total. Great place for a quick bite and will soon try other items on the menu! read more

So I've heard about this place before and was really excited to try. I walk in, tiny place but cute. The staff was friendly too, always a plus. We ordered the crab, poke and teriyaki chicken rice triangles. Best part is we didn't have to wait too long for our order. The teriyaki chicken I personally thought was terrible. It was really dry, kind of crispy and tasted old. Everything else was just OK. I like flavor in my food, everything was sort tasteless but ok. Not saying I would never come back but I think a new chef might be the best suggestion. read more

I had the spicy pork triangle and the chicken teriyaki triangle. My boyfriend had the grilled salmon triangle and the short rib triangle. Everything was good. It didn't wow us, but it was definitely satisfying, and wasn't too heavy. If you buy three triangles, they give you edamame for free, but the edamame is cold, and they don't give you much if your sharing with someone else. Warning: spicy pork is kinda spicy lol (but it's bearable) read more

Food is amazing! I been going here for the past 10 years! The only thing that I would say is a negative is that the prices are going UP! They had a student bowl before the pandemic that was around 5$ . I understand that some people that were not students would order this. Why not bring it back and have them show proof of ID ? I think allowing students to eat with a fair price would be great. Other then that... the food is amazing . read more

This is my favorite spot to go when I'm hungry for a good and healthy lunch or dinner. I always get three o-nigiri and I love the fact that it comes with edamame. It always taste good and fresh. Can't wait to go back, or maybe even try making my own read more

Oori Triangles - 3 Onigiri Salmon, Tuna, and Shrimp - Japanese Near Me - Albany, California

We ordered the same items twice but had totally different experience within a month. The first time, every item was good, rice was fluffy, nice amount and tasting toppings, the second time, every item was different, rice was dry, toppings were tiny. We felt like we ordered the food from a complete different place. We were confused. A off day? Consistency is important and driving return customers!!! We may give another try some day. read more

I've been here on two separate occasions. The first time, my friend and I ordered 4 different triangles to share (salmon, spicy pork, chicken teriyaki, short rib). The rice triangles were absolutely delicious. The proportions are a little different than traditional rice triangles - this has more protein over rice vs. traditionally rice wrapped protein. Today, I went for the second time. This time I decided to try something new and ordered a teriyaki chicken rice plate. I loved that there were different sizing options! Regular, small, student/kid sized. I ordered a kid size, which was still a hefty portion, and another salmon triangle. I wasn't a big fan of the chicken teriyaki because it was very dry and pretty plain. There was no sauce or anything on it so it was literally just pan fried chicken over rice. Overall, great food and efficient staff. read more

Foods is great, but service has declined a bit over the years. My current frustration is that you can no longer order on the phone. In person or on line only now. I still highly recommend the food, but experience has become less personable over time. read more

Good food, pretty bad service. Went there with a friend today and waited at the front for about fifteen minutes to have our orders taken. The man behind the counter kept looking at us but not taking our orders, and when we finally just asked if we could order food he ignored us. Eventually, just as we were about to leave, a woman came out of the door and rushed over to take our order. Man was very rude. The food was alright, but nothing amazing. read more
