The Vibe: Fast, easy, and the perfect high-quality "to-go" spot. (touch screen order at the counter) The Order: Spam & KBBQ (It's a best-seller for a reason!) * Lychee Lemonade The Value: About $13-$14 for the pair and the drink. Really fair price for how delicious and filling it is. Pro-Tip: If you're a sauce person, they have a many that look great but I skipped this time around, I'm eyeing the fish caviar and the spicy tuna for my next visit. #LongBeachEats #LBX #Tenori #Onigiri #QuickBite #LBFoodie read more

Tenori - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

Tenori is one of the only onigiri places within driving distance of me and it always hits the spot. This place is located in the back of the Hangar at the LBX next to the airport. I love how you can order through the Toast app or on the touchscreens, and the menu is simple and clear, perfect for someone who is decision fatigued. This visit I ordered the Honey Shrimp, Spam, KBBQ, Mentai, and Pork Belly- along with a lychee lemonade and a strawberry lemonade. The onigiri are made to order so it does take a few minutes, but it's worth the wait. The flavors are balanced and there is a good ratio of filling to rice. The wrappers say what the filling is, which is super helpful because aside from the spam they look exactly alike. I did give it 4/5 stars because the onigiri are smaller compared to the ones you can get at mitsuwa, and $4.50 each adds up fast. They packed my to go order well and even left the lemonades out so they would stay cold. read more

First time trying Tenori, and I'd definitely go back again. It's located within the Hanger food court in LB. I ordered at the little tablets at the counter and my order was ready and called out within 5 minutes. Staff was friendly I picked the KKBQ and Pork Belly Onigiri's which were both yummy, the pork belly had a nice flavor, while was kbbq was more muted in flavor. I bought an eel sauce ($1) to have with them on the side. Rice was soft and the nori was a good texture biting through. Parking: there's parking lots surrounding the Hanger and other adjacent shops, bathrooms near the Kroft food spot, and lots of seating areas inside and out. My only small issue is the price of the Lychee Lemonade at $4.50. Only because at the Rodeo 39 location they sell it for the same price but in a much larger size so it feels like a good deal (I can even split the lemonade in two to share) . I'd be happy to pay $3.50 for a bottled lemonade read more

Grab some for late snacks. Parking was abit challenge since it's Sunday and a lot of families are outing. Easy order over kiosks, menu is small with plenty of choices for topping/filling. Cost wise is reasonable and quality is fresh and well seasoned. The place is clean and well organized, plenty of community seatings both indoor and outdoor. read more

Came here two days previously, and returned. This second time around we got more for others in our party. Everybody enjoyed them. For us it's not a meal on its own but a great appetizer. Can't really go wrong and a nice snack as we waited for our meals from other restaurants in the food hall. Worth pointing out that all three kids in our group ate their onigiri without any trouble. This is despite two of them being notoriously picky eaters. read more

Tenori - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Good spot for quick and delicious bites! Originally tried this at Rodeo 39, and I'm so glad there's a location in LBX now. This visit I got the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, regular tuna with mayo, pork belly, and KBBQ. Loved them all but would say my top choices would be the spicy salmon and the tuna options! Even though ordering is through a self-serve kiosk, the worker was still kind enough to ask if i had any questions. Overall, recommend! read more

Tenori - Pork belly and tuna - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

I was at The Hangar with some relatives and Tenori caught my eye. When I asked my family, they said they definitely recommended it if I wanted to give it a try. At one of the kiosks, I ordered a spicy salmon and a spicy tuna. I waited to the side and after a few short minutes, my order was ready to go. Once I was seated, I dug into my food. It was soooo good! The fillings had a perfect flavor + texture as well as the rice. The food didn't last very long since I ate it all right away. I also bought a side of eel sauce which complimented everything really well. The overall experience of ordering and enjoying the food was very quick and easy! What I expected when I ordered is exactly what I got. If you happen to be around Tenori, I would definitely recommend it! read more

Tenori - SPICY TUNA and SPICY SALMON - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

I have been on an onigiri kick lately. I was having a day date in Long Beach and decided to check this place out. Tenori is located in the Hangar food hall. They do have other locations around the OC area. We were able to get parking rather easily and there are plenty of seats and tables. We went with the 3 pack of onigiri. We ordered two pork belly and one spicy salmon. I really enjoy the pork belly. It had a good amount of pork belly stuff between the rice. The flavors were great. I like the way the rice was cooked and how they added the seasoning and seaweed for the added crunch. We both agree, we would come back for the pork belly. The spicy salmon was okay. It was more fishy but I did enjoy the extra kick of spice. Overall, if you're cravings for onigiri or just a light snack or meal, this is a spot to hit up. read more

Tenori - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Tenori is the absolute best!! I've tried a handful of different onigiri places and Tenori is hands down my favorite. I first tried Tenori at Rodeo 39 in Stanton and loved it, so I was excited to see that a new location opened inside The Hanger at the Long Beach Exchange. A great thing about these locations is that they're inside a food hall which opens up more options for you to get a variety of food. There's also ample seating and clean bathrooms. I like to get the 3-pack and mix up the proteins. I've tried every protein on the menu and I think my favorites are Tuna Mayo, Spicy Tuna, and Pork Belly. The Mentaiko is very flavorful but also very spicy!! Some of my friends argue it doesn't taste very fresh. They have self-ordering kiosks that make ordering really quick and easy. I've never waited more than 10 minutes for my order! Definitely check this place out at least once if you're a big onigiri fan. read more

Tenori - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Their Onigiri was good! It's a takeout stand located at the Hangar so there's not much interaction between the customers and the staff, especially because you order at a kiosk but they were very quick to get us our order. We got 5 Onigiris and 1 Spam Masubi and they were pretty good, although I will say that it did feel a little pricey. Our total was over 30 dollars and I felt that the price was a little steep, especially because it wasn't fresh tuna like I was expecting. They also don't have very many drink options if you wanted a one stop shop. It was very delicious however and is especially good served still hot. The hangar itself can be a little busy and hard to find seating but it was more take the day we went. read more

This was my first time at Tenori and I was in the mood to eat something savory but wanted to keep it on the healthier side. I stumped across Tenori and noticed they specialize in onigiri. This was perfect because they had a variety of options and the portion size was perfect. The onigiri weren't too big nor too small, but perfect enough to have room left over if you wanted dessert or try another store. I wasn't sure how many I wanted and the cashier was kind enough to tell me that it was a better deal if I got a bundle of 3. I don't see the pricing/deal on Yelp so I wish I took a picture to upload. I believe it was 3 onigiri for $11.50. The price point for that bundle made it all worth it. I got the pork belly, kbbq, and honey shrimp. These were the top 3 recommended options from the cashier and I wasn't disappointed. They were all really good! The pork belly tastes just like cha siu (the kind you experience at a chinese restaurant), the kbbq reminded me of Yoshinoya's beef (which I really like), and the honey shrimp was the best. It was flavorful, savory, and you could taste each shrimp as you bit into it. I enjoyed all 3 and would recommend it to anyone. I'm looking forward to coming back to try the other options! read more

Let me tell you that this restaurant is SLEPT ON. Average price onigiri with amazing flavors! I had the spicy salmon, KBBQ, and tuna mayo onigiris and they were all amazing (favorite being the kbbq). The rice has a good texture that pairs well with the sweetness of the furikake and the crispiness of the seaweed. Amazing onigiris. The staff are friendly and the store is neat with a professional atmosphere as well. Highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

I had the Tenori rice treat with pork belly, house sauce, furikake, and nori--and it was really good! The pork belly was soft and flavorful, and the sauce added a nice sweet and salty taste. The furikake and seaweed gave it a great crunch and flavor. It was pretty crowded since it was a Friday night, but the food came out fresh and hot. Worth the wait! I'd definitely come back again for a quick and tasty bite. read more

My favorite one was the Korean bbq. wouldn't recommend the spam musubi. no soy sauce options so i had to get a side of sauce. service was self serve but the employees were willing to help. located in the LBX food hall so it was quite loud and not lot of seating inside the restaurant and out side. read more

Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Ambiance: 6/10 This place is a super solid (but not great) spot for getting tasty onigiri. I visited this place when they first opened several months ago, and I was NOT impressed with the small portions of protein they put in the onigiri. Recently they been stuffing those balls with protein! So much better. And the meat tastes juicer too. read more

Tenori - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

I first tried Tenori at Rodeo 39 in Stanton and fell in love! When I found out they added Tenori here, I was elated! Food is good as always! It never disappoints. It's perfect if you want a full meal or just a small snack. I wasn't too hungry, so I just got a single bulgogi onigiri. Love it! The service was easy. You really mainly order with the tablets and then they call your name. They have someone there to answer any questions, but essentially you're on your own. Ambiance of the LBX Hangar is really chill and a good place to go to if you're with friends and everyone wants a little bit of something different. It's a food hall with good options, pretty good seating, especially outside. Parking is eh. read more

Stopped by Tenori in Long Beach for a quick bite and for how simple the concept is I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. There's not a lot to say about service in the traditional sense you order off a screen and then grab your food when it's ready for pickup. That said, the place looked clean, the process was straightforward, and the turnaround time was pretty fast, which is exactly what you want from a casual grab and go spot. This was my first time trying Tenori, and it really fits that perfect lane of a snack that somehow fills you up without feeling too heavy. I tried three -Honey Shrimp -Spicy Tuna -Spicy Salmon Honestly you can't go wrong with any of those It just depends on what flavor profile you're in the mood for that day whether you want something a little sweet, a little spicy, or somewhere in between. All three were tasty, satisfying, and hit that quick bite craving. Overall Tenori is a solid 4 star spot for a fast, clean, and tasty snack style meal. I'll definitely be back to run through more of the menu depending on what mood I'm in. read more

My favorite was the spicy Tuna but my wife enjoyed the pork belly. Clearly both of them are the most popular and rightfully so. Very unique seaweed meal that is one of a kind.

First time in The Hanger today for lunch: plenty of seating in cool aviation-themed food hall. It was clean and had lots of natural lighting. We love and were craving onigiri and Tenori didn't disappoint! We placed our order on one of two kiosks. The flavors we got were KBBQ, Spicy Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and Pork Belly ($4 each) with spicy mayo and eel sauce ($1 each) on the side. The onigiri were warm, the seaweed was crispy, and the rice was a perfect texture (not mushy). The KBBQ was a little confusing because I was expecting bulgogi beef, but it was a different kind of beef with onions. The pork belly and spicy salmon were definitely my favorite; I'll be back for more! read more

Tenori - KBBQ PORK BELLY SPICY SALMON SPICY TUNA - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

TLDR: A lighter option for the LBX hanger. It's your classic onigiri with a crunchier twist. The flavors were there, and I think it's worth a look. Don't forget to look for the label to know what you're eating, because the identifiers aren't as obvious as you'd like them to be. KBBQ: If you're a fan of bulgogi, then this is a no-brainer. The marinate is not too strong and the meat portions are okay. I appreciate that the meat to fat ratio of the bulgogi is respectable. Spicy Salmon: The flavors are very spicy mayo. I could barely taste the fish. It was a good chew though. Pork Belly: Decent teriyaki glaze and a good amount of pork. Tied for first to the KBBQ. PS: They use the Costco tempura for their onigiri, so do with that what you will. Ambiance: It's a stall inside LBX. The place is good, but chairs and tables will be hard to find. Luckily, you don't need either to eat this. Service: You order through a big screen. They call your number. Very straightforward. read more

Tenori - KBBQ, Spicy Salmon, Pork Belly - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've visited the Stanton Rodeo 39 location and this location is significantly better! You order on an iPad and they call your name. I ordered the 3 for $11: salmon, pork belly, honey shrimp. They're smaller than a traditional original but are nicely individually wrapped and had generous filling and seasoning! Rice is still work, everything is made to order. Salmon was my favorite, followed by pork belly then shrimp. I would stick with the fish options, meat was a bit dry and the shrimp was battered and fried so it was a bit much with the rice. Overall still yummy! Nothing like fresh warm rice and seaweed. Definitely recommend if you want something small inside the Hangar! read more

Tenori - MENTAI KBBQ PORK BELLY - Japanese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Located in the Hangar food hall at Long Beach Exchange near Long Beach Airport, Tenori serves made to order onigiri. They have been popping up with locations all over the place and, though I've seen it around, this was my first time trying it. I have to say that I liked it a lot more than I thought I would like it and I think it's a great addition to the food court. I got 3 onigiri for $11 and went with tuna with mayo, spicy salmon, and KBBQ (Korean BBQ) flavors to diversify my exposure to their menu. Here are my thoughts: 1) The rice they use on the onigiri is served warm and it's cooked absolutely perfectly 2) The fish is simple, but it does the job. I do not think that I'd get tuna with mayo again, but I might get spicy salmon or spicy tuna again. The fish resembles what you'd get in the can, but it does the job. 3) I really liked the KBBQ onigiri as the meat, rice, and onion combo was nicely balanced and very satisfying. The food came out fast, it was very filling, and I felt extremely satisfied. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it. I will likely come back to try more. I think I'd be more inclined to get more of the meat onigiri than the fish onigiri, but it's all pretty satisfying and the flavors are quite different. If you're at the Hangar, this is a pretty solid option! read more

It was my first time here and this place is basically self service. You order on the kiosk and then they shout out your name to pick up. Nobody asks if you have questions about the menu so if you do have questions, you may want to flag someone down from the pick up counter. I ordered the spicy Salmon, Walnut Shrimp and Spicy Tuna The salmon was waaaaaay too fishy and I really disliked it. I wouldn't order that one again. However, the walnut shrimp and spicy Tuna were better in taste. I personally would've loved to have a little lemon mayo drizzle on top or even on the side because they were pretty heavy with the rice. They're basically hand rolls loaded with rice and your choice of seafood. You can basically sit anywhere you want but it is pretty packed on weekends. read more

Service was fast and easy. Asked what the recommendation and they said the pork belly which was 8/10 needed more meat. The honey walnut was my favorite 10/10. The tuna with mayo needed more mayo 2/10. Theres lots of places to sit and. Spent $12+tax for 3 tenori. I wish they had more options without everything spicy read more

I like the new addition to the Hangar's selection. It's somewhat healthier than the fried stuff, and the flavors are unique and interesting. Each one is quite substantial, and it's larger than I expected. The seasoning on top provides an essential taste to the filling. I especially enjoyed the mental, but the pork belly was very nice too. Ordering with the kiosk could be a little bit confusing, and it's easy to overpay for all the sauces. I got one sauce for three servings, and even though it's just a dollar each for the sauce, I don't think it added anything to the flavor. Even if you order three of those, it's hard to be satisfied as a full meal. read more

TENORRRIIII NEVER LEAVE ME Tried them in stanton and quickly became addicted, but that isn't very close to me so I was hoping they would get a local spot and they finally did here!! so of course I went immediately. It's self ordering on the kiosk, which makes it very easy to order and then you pick it up at the register. The guy who handed me my order was very nice! But the food preparers looked unhappy to be there and they are very visible so it gives off a negative impression. I honestly just think they were focused on their tasks but no smiling or talking or anything. Another place was here before so they're still working with the decor, but the one in stanton is very simple and cute and i know this place will be the same. Cant wait to return!!! read more

I'll have to go back to try some of the other flavors. read more

It's amazing to see Tenori carry it's success for an affordable, portionable and amazing tasting onigiris and musubis within the Los Angeles area for others to enjoy. To simply put; each onigiri and musubi carries it's own weight in taste, enjoyment and profiles. Allow me to explain: Spicy Salmon; spicy with a kick! That taste of salmon is apparent and plentiful KBBQ; Savory, tender and has that korean bbq taste we all know and love at those ayce spots Pork Belly; Fatty and lean, perfect ratio and so soft in each bite Tuna with Mayo; creaminess and airy fish taste go together? Well yeah it does actually, especially here Honey Shrimp; well battered, sweet and crispy in every shrimp bite Mentai; SPICY! but unique in it's own way especially when it's salty and savory in this fish eggy way Spam Musubi; you already know! Carries that same fulfilling taste and size! It's funny to see others enjoying it especially when you're in environment of other eateries, plenty of seating and more smells of different establishments while enjoying this cozy snack. It definitely feels unique compared to the other spots inside LBX. Let alone the order kiosks and onigiri makers are fast to each order! You shouldn't be waiting too long. read more
