    Onigiris are having their well deserved moment right now. It's the perfect light lunch for hot summer days when you completely lose your appetite. Rice & Miso rice balls are rather simple with single toppings and limited sauce usage. What makes them stand out tho is the brown rice they use ‍ It's cooked perfectly with an amazing texture and a slight sweetness the more you chew. I wouldn't say go out of your way for them but a great stop if you're in the area. grilled sweet corn rice ball $5.5* salmon rice ball $4* 뉴욕여름 미쳤다 이런 날씨는 입맛도 여유도 없어서 간단하게 먹을수있는게 최고임. 요즘 맨하튼에도 오니기리 집들이 생기는것같은데 작년까지만해도 찾기힘들었다구. 여긴 기본에 충실한 맛이다. 토핑도 하나씩만 들어가고 간도 담백함. 심플한 대신에 꼬들하고 정말 맛있는 현미밥으로 만들어서 생각나는 맛이다. 굳이 찾아갈 필요는 없지만 근처라면 가볼만함!

    We walked in on a weekend and the place was busy. It is a small shop with two tables, and enough seats for maybe 8-10 people and some standing room at the counter. The service is fast, you order at the counter, and then can seat yourself. They also have sauce and seasonings on the side. When we first arrived there was no space to sit, but by the time our food came, we were able to get seats. I ordered the beef rice ball and the salmon rice ball. The rice balls were just ok, they tasted mostly plain, with not a lot of filling.

    Chicken Bento
    Alex L.

    A really disappointing visit. The onigiri/rice balls are a decent size but it tasted pretty bland, as did the sides. The chicken, while tender, was obviously poached before briefly finishing on the grill - my chicken has a layer of coagulated protein around it... which was a little off-putting. What made this a disappointing visit though, is without a doubt the terrible service I received. The lady working behind the register was more interested in her phone than taking my order/providing recommendations (I just got a mumbled reply when I asked). When I left and said bye, I was met with a glare. Rude staff and mediocre food. I won't be coming back.

    Cozy organic Japanese spot in Fort Greene :) I love Onigiris so I thought should've stopped by. I was ordering 3 onigiris but realized If you order more than two onigiris, I would say should try the bento box which is so worth it! ($15) I got Chicken Bento box and you can pick two sides and you can add $2 miso soup! :) The grilled chicken was Wooo I can tell very well marinated with Shio-koji! I enjoyed this Negi-lemon chicken a lot. Hijiki side was wonderful!! They use organic brown rice and very tasty! I got salmon and original miso-negi paste :) Both are good :) also got a Grilled sweet corn onigiri... which was the best. Overall, I wish the register lady would be helpful but what I expect for to go? I'll come back again.

    Grilled Chicken

    I've heard of this place but was never in the area during their open hours until recently. When I asked for recommendations the person taking my order was very curt and mumbled so quietly I almost couldn't hear her. I got a chicken bento box which came with 2 onigiri and 2 sides. I thought the chicken was pretty tender, although it did have more fat congealed on the outside than I prefer. I would have liked if the onigiri had a bit more filling. Sadly the food was not as good as I've had at other similar establishments, and on top of that the rudeness of the staff made the experience unpleasant. When we left I tried saying goodbye directly to the cashier, but was ignored.

    Made a quick pit stop for a bite and the food was relatively decent. It can feel claustrophobic inside so finding a seat when the house is full can feel snug. They make the onigiris with brown rice, but they hardly have any filling. With the plume onigiri, for example, it was more like a garnishment. This place showed signs of gentrification. When I was here, some tech people from LinkedIn started talking aloud about their work, so I thought I was in SF for a second.

    Salmon rice ball and Tuna Mayo Rice Ball
    Leah O.

    My partner and I hit that weird time where it was too late for a big lunch but way too early for dinner. We came to rice and miso, got a two rice balls each (tuna and salmon) and a miso soup. This was the perfect amount of food that left us feeling good but not overly stuffed! Neither of us could decide which rice ball we preferred, they were both tasty. The miso soup was different than any other miso soup I've had before. The inside is small but very nice and has a few place to sit. They also have some seating outside if it's not too chilly for you!

    4 stars, probably closer to 4.25. Rice and Miso is a fast casual place that boasts health and portions. The inside has limited seating, but people are in and out in 15 minutes or so. All of their bentos come with 2 standard onigiris and 2 sides which are displayed on the counter. The onigiris are pleasantly warm and made with brown rice (which I actually prefer). I chose the salmon and tuna mayo for my chicken bento. The tuna mayo was great, but the salmon was overly salty. The chicken itself is super tender and well cooked. They give a decent amount of chicken too, which I really appreciate. The sides are really cold, but are flavorful. I got the butternut squash and the wakame salad, but would probably try something else next time.

    Salmon Bento w/Rice Balls
    Caili C.

    Such a good spot for a quick lunch! Walked over from downtown Brooklyn after craving simple Japanese food and this place really hit the spot. They have a small menu where you can get a bento which includes a protein, 2 sides, and 2 rice balls (doesn't include grilled rice balls) or purchase items a la carte. I ended up getting the salmon bento with salmon and beef rice balls and sweet potatoes and string beans as sides. It was a perfect meal when you're craving healthy comfort food. The salmon was good perfectly and I loved the salmon rice balls. The sides are served chilled and work great with the rice and protein. As a note I liked that the rice balls are made with brown rice which was more filling and added a great textural element to traditional rice balls. There's a small table inside and one outside if you're looking to dine-in or it would be a great takeout spot as well.

    Salmon rice ball and beef rice ball
    Lilian M.

    It's a small quaint casual spot with some seating indoors and 2 chairs outdoors. I got the beef and salmon onigiri to go. I received my onigiris pretty quickly shortly after placing the order. The onigiris are made with brown rice. Not the same as the 7/11 onigiris from Japan, but it will do for a light healthy lunch or snack to fill you up.

    Grilled sweet corn rice ball
    Della S.

    I ordered from here without knowing that they use brown rice for their rice balls. The brown rice was cooked nicely, but it made me realize that I prefer my onigiri with white rice! I placed a pickup order for their tuna mayo ($4) and grilled sweet corn ($5.50) rice balls. Sadly the nori got soggy by the time I had a chance to eat the rice balls, which made the experience a little disappointing. It would be nice if customers had an option to order their to-go rice balls with the nori on the side so that it stays crisp. I was surprised at how small the rice balls were for their price. The grilled rice ball was a little bigger than the tuna mayo rice ball and came in a soup container. The grilled one was seasoned really well with soy sauce and had a strong sesame oil aroma. The sweet corn inside the rice ball wasn't anything special. The tuna mayo rice ball had a decent amount of tuna mayo in it so that I could taste some tuna in every bite. However, in some parts with less tuna mayo, the rice was quite plain. In general I would not have minded if the rice was a little saltier. If you plan on coming here, I recommend getting the grilled rice balls (they also travel a little better since they do not have nori).

    I cannot get enough of Rice & Miso; their food, though simple, is so delicious and satisfying. The quality of the ingredients truly shines through from the chewy nuttiness of the brown rice in their onigiri to the snap of the blanched and seasoned string beans (gomae). My usually order is the Atsuage Tofu Bento ($13), which features three delicious pieces of tofu covered with a shoyu, koji, and roasted onion sauce and comes with your choice of two onigiris (I always opt for the tuna mayo and the beef), two sides (my favorite are the wakame salad and the daikon slaw) and a miso soup. The homey, healthy fare offered here is fairly easy to make and I'm always inspired to make my own homemade bentos but their house miso and koji are always sold out whenever I visit. Rice & Miso gives me a lot of ideas and guidance for eating healthier and creatively, and that's what I love most about this place.

    I was craving rice balls and have been wanting to try this spot. I got the bento box to share and an extra grilled beef rice ball. The sides are really good. The chicken is tender and lemony. The tuna mayo rice ball is a little bland. I'd definitely get the grilled beef rice ball and the curried cauliflower again.

I'd still give it a solid 9/10 and would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.
