    K Q.

    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.

    Perfect handheld snacks to bring to the beach. We particularly like the spicy salmon, kbbq, and pork belly. They are $4.50/ea. Wish they have specials - ie. 6 for $24

    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!

    Pork belly and tuna
    Mathew P.

    First time trying this type of dish. I've always when it in the anime's I watch. The rice was cooked perfectly as well as the meat that they stuffed these in. Overall very tasty. The service was quick! Lady at the front desk was nice. Ambiance is at the lbx eating outside is very relaxing. It's also very clean. Highly recommended this place.

    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!

    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.

    So good!!! Love the rice balls here. The furikake is crispy and gives the rice flavor. I had the salmon and the KBBQ. Both were delicious.

    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.

    Assorted Onigiris

    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!

    SPICY TUNA
    Samantha I.

    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.

    We outside

    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

    KBBQ PORK BELLY SPICY TUNA SPAM

    Pretty good onigiri! I thought the menu was lacking options for food and side options. 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.

    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!

Didn't enjoy the scallop handroll as much; however, they had a scallop sashimi appetizer this month that was amazing. The appetizer had thinly sliced hotate (Hokkaido scallops), seasoned with yuzu and it was delicious. Also ordered a soft-shell crab appetizer and we appreciated the meatiness of the soft-shell crab. While it was sometimes difficult to get the attention of servers, we felt the quality of the seafood was pretty good here. For this reason, this is a really welcome addition to the east long beach community and I'll definitely be back!

I love the garlic and chili combos with a little citrus flavor. Also ordered the stinky roll, which is spicy tuna on the inside and salmon on the outside which I liked very much couldn't decide on a second roll so I asked the server to surprise us and kind of regret doing that because he had brought us a roll that I was already cringing at reading the description on the menu which was their long beach roll however, the crunch it had on the inside was very nice and not too heavy. I don't feel that asparagus should be anywhere near a sushi roll, but that was my bad. Also ordered their Yuzu cheesecake, which was a no for me. It was too strong and screaming Yuzu simialr to lemon zest and super tiny. The quality of the ingredients they use here are pretty good. I would come back to try other items, but I do not suggest getting their dessert or their long beach roll.

But the staff were all so friendly and enthusiastic and the place was so busy I was willing to cut them some slack. It's a beautiful, fun place and I wish it continued success!

The menu had such a wide variety of Japanese cuisine, from sushi, to katsu, to donburi, there's something for everyone! Loved the modern clean vibes of the interior. They start you off with complimentary miso soup, which was full and rich (a bit salty for my liking but that's just me). We also ordered a plate of nigiri as our appetizer, and the fish quality was really fresh. I ordered the chicken katsu plate for myself, and my was it delicious. I've never tasted katsu so light even though it's typically fried, and love the sauce they paired the katsu with. It was almost like a mustard? But it wasn't too overpowering or anything. We finished the night with the tempura ice cream, and let me tell you, this is a MUST. I honestly just expected them to throw some panko on top of a scoop of ice cream, but Te-Buru's take is (somehow) baking a tempura crust right onto a giant scoop of ice cream and then cutting up the scoop into wedges. The ice cream surprisingly did not melt all that quickly either, and the matcha flavor was on point. Our servers were quick to meet our requests, nothing super outstanding but made the meal pretty seamless. Prices I think were pretty standard except for their sushi. Those are bit on the steeper side, but again, their fish quality is really good. For parking, they do have a small lot, but there's also street parking and parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. You'd be delulu not to try Te-Buru!
