Nice little spot for bingsu. Flavors are refreshing, however the shaved ice melts faster than other places.
I drive across town about twice a month because I love these rice balls so much, they are delicious and one is usually a full meal. Since they are so large, the last SEVERAL times I have been ordering a grilled salmon and adding avocado. I went yesterday, and who I believe is the owner rang me up. I requested an avocado/salmon rice ball and she looked at me as though I was crazy for asking and said “ we don’t do that”. She almost seemed offended. Instead of arguing I just said ok. Apparently she doesn’t like making money because her employees have always just charged me maybe an extra $3, given me what I wanted and I was a happy camper. They are never friendly, but she was just rude and unpleasant. I’m no marketing genius, but the last time I checked isn’t it a point to upsell? Lady, do the math. You can charge $3 for a spoon of avocado! Disappointing experience.
We stopped by this little onigiri and shaved ice establishment on a whim after perusing the surrounding stores. I can only speak to the taste and quality of the rice-ball. It was perfectly adequate—freshly and well-cooked rice, ample seasoning, and plenty of filling. It was good, but nothing especially groundbreaking flavor-wise.
Wouldn’t come here again. Ordered a taro milk tea with tapioca. The milk tea was WAY too sweet. And the tapioca was hard and almost inedible
Good stop for a quick lunch!
The mango bingsu was DELICIOUS
A good restaurant for a quick lunch. There is a wide selection of onigiri. We tried onigiri with raw salmon, and it was tasty.

Asked the ultra friendly jiujitsu Jack at the counter his favorite, got recommended the mango because he said it has real mango and is incredible.
Bam, best smoothie I’ve ever drank
For those who mob Asahi Imports for their onigiri, this place is even better too, and personal opinion, better fillings in them.
Loved that service I got, just blew me away. The Crescent’s vibes has gotten incredible and this place just sent me over the top tnoight.

This is my go to quick meal spot. Good onigiri at good prices. I’ve noticed allot of the reviews complain on the amount of filling in the rice balls, but would like to point out that they are very much so in-line with what you would get in Japan.

Came here for rice balls, which were great, but the customer service was even better, particularly from Jack. He was very friendly, welcoming and professional. He made our experience far better than I expected!
Cute local rice and bangsu shop
