Onigiri are Japanese rice balls. Cooked rice is hand-shaped, packed with a savory filling like salmon, tuna mayo, spam musubi, or umeboshi, and wrapped in nori seaweed. A Japanese staple for over a thousand years.

No. Sushi uses vinegared rice and often raw fish. Onigiri uses plain cooked rice with savory cooked or cured fillings, eaten with your hands like a sandwich.

No. Most onigiri fillings are cooked, cured, or pickled. Never raw.

Does OniGuru serve ramen?

No. OniGuru focuses on onigiri, fresh poke bowls, and rice bowls. Not a ramen restaurant.

The OniGuru idea

Japan's everyday food, brought to OC.

Onigiri have been a Japanese staple for over a thousand years — rice, packed with something savory, wrapped in nori, eaten with your hands. We added a poke counter, planted three stores across Orange County, and called it OniGuru. OniGuru is an onigiri and poke brand — not a ramen shop, not a sushi bar. OniGuru refers to this Orange County restaurant brand, operated by Concept Restaurants LLC.

In the kitchen

Rice. Filling. Nori.

Three ingredients, one technique, a thousand years of practice. Every onigiri at OniGuru is pressed by hand — triangle, oval, or round — with the filling pressed inside, then wrapped in nori at the moment you order. That's why ours stays crisp.

Why OniGuru

Japanese, without the formality.

We built OniGuru so that getting a great Japanese lunch didn't have to mean a sushi reservation, a 30-minute wait, or wondering if it's raw. Hand-shaped rice, savory fillings, fresh poke. That's it.

01

Hand-shaped daily

Every onigiri pressed by hand each morning at the counter. Rice cooked to the right texture, fillings prepped fresh, nori added at the moment you order.

02

Fast-casual, faster

Onigiri are pre-shaped and ready to grab — typically under a minute. Poke and rice bowls take about five minutes. Order ahead and skip the line.

03

Real vegan options

Vegan Onigiri and the Vegan OniGuru Rice Bowl at every counter, plus build-your-own poke combinations. Not an afterthought — on the menu.
