For A few months, I've seen these Riceballs on YouTube, but I never had one. On my trip I'm Toronto and found this place, while ordering poutine next door, and had to try. The lady, who I assume is the owner, was super kind and pleasant. I got the Salmon Wasabi and the Spicy Pork Miso Rice balls. The Wasabi over powered the salmon, but still good. The Spicy Pork Miso was probably my favorite of the two and it packed a punch. For under $10, it was a good deal.

If only they were located closer! I love rice balls and we happened to walked past this joint on Saturday afternoon so we stopped by and ordered the shitake mushroom and the spicy pork rice balls (aka omusubi) to go. These rice balls were pretty huge and tasty. If I had to be picky the rice could be seasoned a bit more, but overall I enjoyed them very much. And such a cool dining experience with these individual stalls. I'm already craving more of their rice balls and next time I would love to try their combos which comes with soup.
The restaurant is more like the size of a food truck located within a street with similar sized mini restaurants. There are also picnic benches available to sit on with umbrellas on top.
They mainly sell Japanese rice balls or Omusubi and Japanese comfort food, as well as Dango and drinks.
I ordered the Oyakodon (chicken and egg donburi, $13.27) and a Mitarashi Dango (sticky and chewy rice balls with a sweet soy sauce sauce on top, $3.00).
The Oyakodon was delicious. The chicken was smooth and easy to eat. The egg was soft and fluffy. There's this sweet and savory sauce throughout the entirety of the dish. The pickled radish and ginger cleansed the palate. The seaweed was an added flavour.
The Mitarashi Dango was sweet, chewy and sticky. On one stick came with 4 Dango balls. It also came in a green leaf kind of bowl thing. It's only my second time eating a Mitarashi Dango, and it does taste better than the store bought one.
The service was good and fast, considering that I ordered a hot food (10 min wait time). Service was also polite. The lady answered my questions well regarding the size of the Oyakodon bowl.
It seems like there are seasonal dishes and snacks that come out during the specific seasons. I guess I'll be coming back here every so often to try the seasonal stuff.
Overall, I was pleased with what I got. I wanted to try the Sesame Dango too, but that's for my next visit. I wanted to try their Omusubi, but they were more expensive than expected, so I didn't get any. I read that they have Oden during the colder months, so I'm tempted to return to eat some.

Love this place - ordered delivery once but getting your rice balls ready to eat is so much better! Never had a disappointing experience here.

Had this place in my list for many years. Very delicious rice balls, but not exactly what I was expecting as I thought the rice should be firmer and more distinct from other grain of rice.
Ordered catering, almost 200 omusubi and a bunch of the cold sides for delivery. Everyone loved the food - the arrived individually wrapped and labelled, making lunch both delicious and fun. The staff (owner?) was very nice and accommodating and ensured that the lunch we had was successful. A wonderful choice!

I always love getting a chunky but affordable onigiri when I’m around the area. This time, I enjoyed the tuna mayo + green onion onigiri, which was mixed inside and absolutely delicious.

Got the shiitake omusubi. Service was fast (3 minutes or so to get my rice ball) and price was reasonable. Cute stand.
Not a huge fan of the omusubi but that's probably down to this being my first rice ball experience and I may just not be a fan of rice balls. The mushroom filling was good, for what that's worth. I also really enjoyed the yuzu-nade.

The owner is super friendly and provided quick service. It's an outdoor area that doesn't have a lot of seating, so this place is perfect if you just need a quick snack while out on a walk.
