Such amazing food! I drive pretty far for this place because it's so delicious. Worth ordering online for (or ordering inside on the terminals.) I recommend the 3 item rice plate! read more

Oori Triangles - Pl Plate - Three Item Rice Plate - Japanese Near Me - Albany, California

The perfect stop for a quick bite after a long day! I've been wanting to try Oori for a while and it didn't disappoint! I ordered the spicy tuna triangle, the salmon triangle, and the short rib triangle (if you order 3 you get free edamame!). Every single onigiri was so delicious! They were super generous with all of their fillings as well. The short rib meat and salmon were falling out of the onigiris. The spicy tuna could have been stuffed a little more though. The service was great and the food came out quick! The flavor of each onigiri was amazing. I can't wait to come back and try some more! read more

Beware of this place they gave me horrible food poisoning!!! I was up all night throwing up and it's all I had eaten for dinner! I tried to go back and get a refund but apparently they were too busy to help me and never tried to get in contact with me since. Regardless of how fast and easy it is beware that there's always a chance you're going to turn out super sick. Personally never worth the risk for me ever again. read more

This is a small onigiri type shop hidden by an art gallery in Albany. If you didn't know that it was here, you would drive right by it as it is not heavily advertised. Upon entering, it isn't too inviting- you can either order with the cashier or use the self serve kiosk. There are probably about 10 chairs total in this tiny shop, so it's definitely more take-out friendly. If you order three or more rice triangles they throw in some edamame which I'm always game for. I ended up ordering a chicken, beef and spicy pork rice triangle. They came out really quickly, and I barely had to wait at all. (I was like one of the only people inside the restaurant to be fair). I am pretty sure that all the meat is def not made to order, so there is some concern on the freshness for that end. I will have to say the chicken was a definite favorite. The other two were edible, but nothing to write home about. I was also kind of bummed on my free edamame. I can't complain too much, because it was free, but they were def overcooked and didn't have that bite to them- more like a mush. Overall, it's close to my house so I would go back for the chicken again, but that's it. I am interested in trying their other location (I think there is one in Berkeley) to see if they provide fresher triangles. It did however satisfy my rice triangle craving for lunch today! read more

Oori Triangles - Chicken, bulgolgi, and spicy pork - Japanese Near Me - Albany, California

Really great Japanese food and open late, but with a big catch: their system won't take online orders after 8:15pm, a full 45 minutes before they close, and they don't take any phone orders. So you have to physically go there to put in an order, which is kind of silly (the staff said that was the rule of their boss Chris). Not sure why it's 2024 and restaurants are playing games like this. read more

I ordered the ume, kimchi tofu, and teriyaki tofu rice triangles which came with edamame. I would not get the kimchi tofu triangle again as it tasted purely of spicy ness without any actual flavor. The ume is EXTREMELY salty, so one was the perfect amount. The teriyaki tofu triangle was amazing. I am vegan gluten free and this was really filling and satisfying. The person at the register was fine and service seems alright! The ambience is very small and it is more of a "to go" place as there is very limited seating inside and only about two tables outside. For three triangles and edamame it came out to around $15 but I was able to stretch all the food for two meals so I am happy with it and will be back. :) read more

Oori Triangles - Tofu Kimchi Triangle Tofu Teriyaki Triangle Ume Triangle Edamame - Japanese Near Me - Albany, California

This place is A-ok as the food is fresh and tasty. Very small sitting area and they have easy access to utensils and water, etc. The 4 triangles and one small soup is $20 with tip. These triangles are tasty but it's kinda expensive for $4 each. My wife and I found the spicy tuna too hot and I think they overshot the hot sauce today. My unagi triangle was my favorite. Their short rib triangle was delicious but it was drenched in too much teriyaki sauce. Not a destination restaurant for dinner but decent for an small meal or snack. read more

Hi I loved everything. It was my first time going and I tried spicy tofu rice triangle, tofu teriyaki rice triangle, edsmame and a tofu taco. The only unfortunate thing was there was a piece of chicken in one of my triangles which I unfortunately ate. I am vegan so that's less than ideal. I guess, don't go if you have allergies or anything because it seems like there is mixing of ingredients and check your triangle before eating. Other than that it would have been a 5/5 read more

Oori rice triangles are a great on-the-go snack food as often eaten in Japan. They are typically stuffed with pickled plums (ume) or vegetables, seaweed, fish or other salty ingredients. Here at Oori they pair their onigiri with marinated beef, chicken, spicy pork, salmon, spicy shrimp, poke, tofu or kimchi. I ended up getting the beef, chicken and kimchi ones. All 3 were very good. I've had rice balls in Japan and several other places including my family's musubi so I've had better but these are still delish. They also offer plates with protein and rice. Wikipedia - Onigiri, also known as musubi, nigirimeshi or rice ball, is a Japanese food made from white rice formed into triangular or cylindrical shapes and often wrapped in nori (seaweed). If you order 3 rice triangles you get free edamame and ginger. They are very chinsey with this. You probably get about 10 edamame beans and a teaspoon of ginger. They shouldn't mention this IMO. I would get the rice balls here again because I love eating these snack foods and they were tasty. read more

4.5 STARS I love this place! I came here on a Saturday night and the place wasn't busy at all. The service was quick and our food was ready in a couple mins. Their oori rice triangles are so good. It may be basic because it's rice, seaweed, and some kind of protein but it's delicious! It is quite on the pricey side (knocking off half a star) but so worth it. But anyway, they have so many flavors! I wanted to try everything. I ordered short rib, unagi, spicy tuna poke, and spicy shrimp. The one that stood out to me the most was the spicy shrimp. Basically, cooked shrimp with spicy aioli and scallions. Mmm, I can't wait to come back here! read more

used to come here in high for a quick lunch and delicious bites. Just visited yesterday after a couple of years and it seems like the triangles aren't as flavorful as they used to be, as well as much smaller :/ they're still good, don't get me wrong, but I got my hopes up a bit. Hoping to come back in the future to get the same experiences I used to get here. read more

A go-to favorite! We stumbled onto this place a few months ago and have been back again and again! Favorites and can't go wrong would be the chicken teriyaki and spicy pork rice triangles. Craving for a warm snack - this is the place! They cook the meat upon ordering! Another can't resist is the unagi -eel- triangle! Hungry? They have rice plates as well! Still following COVid protocols- order on the iPad, wait for it and food is served on to go boxes. Indoor and outdoor seating available- easy in and out and tummy is full and taste buds been tickled! read more

If you enjoy sushi, you'll love the rice triangles. They make unique combos such as short rib and bbq flavors, along with spicy tuna and crab. I tried the spicy tuna, crab, and short rib triangles. The spicy tuna was delicious and fresh. The short ribs was unexpectedly satisfying. I wasn't a big fan of The crab but would come back again to try out more dishes. The triangles are simple but packed with flavor. They're wrapped in noori and filled with rice and the meat of your choosing. No need to add any sauces but soy sauce and Sriracha are available. The ambiance is nothing to get excited about and it may a better grab-and-go place but it's worth stopping by. It's located on the cute Main Street in Albany so it's a nice place to eat then stroll around. read more

What a quaint little stop along Solano Avenue in Albany! If you're in the mood for something unique and not too heavy, Oori Rice Triangles is a perfect snack stop offering a limited but adequate selection of a spin to Japanese Sushi. Their claim to fame are their rice triangles, a seaweed wrapped ensemble of rice and a choice of protein. We ordered a of short rib, salmon, tofu and unagi. Ingredients were fresh and flavorful. And we left satisfied. Also worth noting was their excellent customer service. The staff was helpful to show us images of the he various menu items and provide a description. While it wasn't a mind blowing experience, we will certainly revisit when in the mood for a light Asian delicacy snack. read more

I wish this was closer to me, I typically can only grab oori rice triangles when I am in the area (it's usually about 30 minutes away from me) but I will usually get 3 to eat there and 3 to take home. There have even been times I would just order 2 thinking I shouldn't have too much and "be healthy" but then would run back inside to order more. **Also I believe if you order 3+ you get free edamame on the side Let me preface the food chat by saying the meat is LOADED, when I first got mine I was shocked by how generous they were. Rather than the typical rice triangle that just has a small surprise in the center, there is meat from top to bottom for every single bite! I typically get 2 spicy pork triangles and one rib eye. My boyfriend enjoys getting the unagi triangles, which you can upgrade for more for about ~$2. If there was one near my house I would probably go everyday. read more

I love the spicy tofu plate. The serving portions are large. They triangles are very popular

I had ordered one spicy tuna triangle and one salmon triangle, drove home, opened my order and had received one unagi triangle (not something I would ever choose) and some other unrecognizable triangle that was 85% mayo. Which I ate because I was so hungry and 5 miles away from returning. The last two times I was there, it seemed like the recipe changed, or new staff did not make the triangles the original way, because the spicing was way off, and the triangles had gotten much smaller, and no more edamame came with the triangles. Sad. read more

I ordered for delivery and did not receive any utensils, napkins, or sauce. I made a big order but I find it odd that I'd even have to ask specifically for a fork when It's a given to pack a fork if someone orders a plate... I left a tip too but I'm disappointed in the service. read more

I wish they would go back to ordering outside at a window. I went last week and stood outside the door waiting to order. People passed me in line, shoulder to shoulder to use the inside payment kiosk. Others just went in to order as person at the counter didnt see us all outside waiting to order. Person who cut in line graciously went and stood at the end. In order to pick up you have to go in again as do all the people who previously ordered. My order was incomplete and had to go in for a third time, but at this point Id had it with them. I cant go here, nor will I for many months.....and to add insult to injury they gave me i triangle when I ordered 3.....grrrrr double check your order as Ive had left out items before this time as well... read more

Why can't a place like this open up in Marin? I like the concept, everything is made fresh and soooooooo delicious. Owner Chris is such a nice guy, talked to us for a bit. Folks in Albany are lucky to have a place like this. Quick and savory rice triangles with plenty of street parking. I make it a point to stop by when I'm in the East Bay shopping at Ranch 99 or enroute to somewhere dropping off or picking up kids like Mother Uber!

If and wherever I'm in Albany I stop here and get onigiri. I love their pickled plum onigiri and always get that one with two more new flavors. Service is great, they have orders ready and don't make you wait long in the store, this minimizing contact with others (especially since its a smaller shop size) read more

This had been on my list of places to try for the longest time and it was A-okay. I really enjoyed their beef plate and would recommend going with any of their plate options. The serving size is fair and the meat is tasty. As far as the onigiri, I thought it was average. I went with the spicy tuna and shrimp and noticed that it's the same sauce used for both proteins. Probably my bad for not reading closely but I would get one seafood and one meat option next time, just to have different flavor. My partner said the salmon onigiri was good so I would go for that too. The service was nice. The restaurant is small with no public bathrooms. Seems to be a popular spot though, I noticed lots of to go orders. I wouldn't mind coming back for a snack. But not a place to go for a dinner dinner if you know what I mean. read more

The onigiri keeps drawing me back through the doors. I first tried perfectly wrapped rice triangles at a Yelp event many years ago and took a liking to them. Since discovering this location I enjoy stopping now and then for a few for myself or to bring to a friend. There are currently 14 different varieties to choose from; my choice is to have one short rib and one spicy pork. Even after I finish my meal I can never decide which one I like the best. The meat in both is tasty and there is no question how different the meats make the onigiri taste. The meats themselves tend to be a bit dry, but the sauces make them moist. The prices seem reasonable and if you order 3 you use to also get edamame and ginger, but now the menu has changed to a small salad. I can never eat three, and as much as I like them I don't think they are good as leftovers. I have ordered a small ginger and kimchi as a side and do think that these two small sides are overpriced. The small is only a dollar but it is really small. Ori is one of my take-to-go places. The food in the bio-degradable containers keeps the onigiri warm enough for me to take them home to enjoy. The parking is easy and the people working here are pleasant. read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area, and wanted something quick. We found Oori and I'm so glad we stopped by. It's a small joint, but their food delivered on flavor. Service was so/so. Not super friendly, not rude, but our food came out quick, so that's a plus. My favorites: Grilled Salmon Triangle Chicken Teriyaki Triangle Short Rib Triangle For the price, these triangles are awesome! I'll have to go back and try the unagi. read more

OORI ALWAYS ameliorates my oft etiolated state. Doesn't help I have an erratic work life. I've been here 3x now, and always come for the grilled proteins. Free hot tea. Simple set-up. Grabbed some Groupons and usually do up some greens to accompany the rice and whatever I'm having a hankering for. More satisfying portion to order rice dish over nori triangles! read more

Been waiting to come here for a while, but after my visit, I left a little underwhelmed. Pros: -HELLA FAST service, we forreal placed our order and then a minute later all of our food was ready...like damn okay my b. -Ingredients were made to order and freshly made. -Service was welcoming and efficient, as it should be. -Salmon rice triangle was easily the best tasting one. Cons: -Somewhat pricy for what is served (about 3-4 dollars per rice triangle when Forreal is should be like 1.50-2.50, just saying). -I say it should cost 1.50-2.50 for a reason because it's solid but not memorable. -I had the tuna, shrimp and Uni and although they looked spectacular, the taste was just okay. Oori rice triangles is a place that serves fresh ingredients at a fast pace. I definitely enjoyed the concept and selection they have. I personally thought my visit was just alright but this place is definitely a try if wanting to try something new. read more

Cute place ... good to get a quick bite. Good pricing and people are friendly. Tried the triangle and order 3 ... I was so full at 2 triangle. I had the salmon which was a little to dry but still good, the bogi which was a little to salty for me but pretty taste just need to lighten up on the saltiness, and the last one was the eel pretty taste. My friend tried the crab which she really like, the kimchi which she liked also, and last the spicy pork that she didnt care for due to it being too sweet. Everyone has different taste buds so you might have a different experience but i am going back to try the other triangle they offer. I would say if you like rice balls ... you should try this place. Enjoy .... Sunshine read more

Traffic persuaded me into stopping by here. Oori has been in my Yelp bookmarks for far too long now and I knew in the back of my mind I was hungry and needed something to eat like asap. However, the idea of sitting in an hours worth of bay area traffic wasn't a pleasurable idea to be doing on an empty tummy. The place is super small yet super cute. These rice triangles are beyond better than the ones made at Berkeley Bowl and so much cheaper with more variety! However, I'm not too sure about the tuna Oori Rice Triangle, however, I've become a sucker for their salmon triangle! Service was pretty quick and the food took about five to ten minutes to make (which isn't bad at all). And to top it off! Free hot tea!! These little rice triangles are amazing! And they're so easy to eat while driving n traffic! read more

This place caught my eye - I love onigiri! If this place was around back when I attended Albany high, I'd be splitting going here and to Gordo for lunch. I went in and got a salmon rice triangle as a snack. Usually rice triangle is seaweed, lots of rice, a small amount of filling (think asian market ones). Oori stuffs them so there's a muuuuch better stuffing to rice ratio. There were several pieces of salmon, with some teriyaki/teriyaki-like sauce and green onions. For $3.15 ($3.47 after tax), it was a great deal for the amount of salmon it came with. I was impressed. They have other flavors, cooked- short rib, chicken teriyaki, pickled plum, plain rice, and more. They have plates too, if you don't prefer the rice triangles. Service was super fast too. I got mine to go within a few minutes. Quick and tasty- my kind of place. It would be great if they had a customization feature, and they'll probably customize it for you, such as if you want a salmon pickled plum rice triangle. If they decide to add more to their menu, some raw salmon or even a California roll type rice triangle/ball would be great. I'd pay a dollar more to get salmon sashimi in my rice triangle! I'd definitely come back (if quality is as good) the next time I visit my folks in the bay. read more
