Some of the best food I've had anywhere, in any genre. They showed care in every aspect of flavor and presentation. Magnificent!
Everything was absolutely perfect, fresh fish awesome!! authentic japanese sushi restaurant, we would absolutely come back soon!! delicious food and great service, best sushi restaurant we are sushi lovers.. been there in Oct. 2015, congratulations to all the staff !!
First time trying out an onigiri restaurant, and everything was excellent! Highly recommend going with a group so you can try as many dishes as possible. All the food pairs really well with drinks, and they have a great selection of drinks to choose from!
Get there before the rush all parties must be present before being seated. Food was very good.
The ume onigiri was delicious and loved the salted salmon ochazuke. Both highly recommended. The cheese onigiri was different but surprisingly good. Not overly cheesy. Had a chance to try the katsu don, nice and crispy served over hot rice. The piri kara buta bara don was specially good as well. The oyako don was delicious too. Our luncheon was so yum, we rolled out happy and full!
It is more rare to find a Japanese restaurant focused on non-sushi/bento items here in North America so for the specialty factor alone I think this place is worth trying. The service and quality of food was excellent.
I loved both the butter Yaki and Special Mentaiko onigiri. The grilled/charred flavor of the cheese paired with mentaiko gave it a bold and unique flavor. I also ordered the Oyako Ochazuke with original dashi broth. This was alright in my opinion but a bit plain and one dimensional in flavour. If I were to order ochazuke again I would definitely order it with green tea instead of dashi.
Love their food. Found the restaurant through Instagram and the food doesn’t disappoint. We ordered mentaiko and sake onigiri, unagi musubi with curry noodle.
My favorite was the unagi musubi - it had the best taste with perfectly sauced eel with soft eggs wrapped with rice and seaweed. Id definitely come back to order it.
For drink - id recommend matcha lemonade! It has bitter taste from matcha that goes well with sweet lemonade.
Only downside was that parking require to be on street and there’s not a lot of seats.
Hidden gem!!! Every single piece of dish here is so authentic including grilled rice , curry udon, rice wrap, sparking sake, friend chicken! Love it absolutely LOVE it!!!
Onibaba's selection and quality is outstanding and were quite possibly the best onigiri I've ever tried! The rice was delicious, the toppings were fresh, and the nori was the perfect consistency to still provide a nice crunch while also being just soft enough. I ordered the sake (salmon) and ume (Japanese plum), and my wife ordered the Ebi Mayo (tempura shrimp and mayo) and the yaki onigiri with sweet miso paste (all pictured) -- and everything was just absolutely delicious!
This place is undoubtedly worth your time, especially if you like or have always wanted to try onigiri!
ごちそさまでした！
One of the few places in Seattle worth going to, both from a price and quality standpoint. Small, classic Japanese bites in a cozy unassuming location. First come first serve, no reservations.
Everything pretty spot on. Only complaints would be the onigiris have too much white rice, and the cheese cod one was too cheesy, a little overwhelming.
Get the musubi - great balance of ingredients and flavor.
Avoid the honeydew sake.

As soon as an Onibaba Instagram reel popped up on my phone, I knew I wanted to go there; so we went there for lunch the very next day. On our table:
Tuna Mayo Onigiri
Cheese Yaki Onigiri
Oyako Onigiri - salty salmon and salmon roe
Ajitama Onigiri - marinated egg and sesame seeds
Unagi Yaki Chazuke - Grilled rice ball, grilled eel and egg
We had ordered Tuna Mayo onigirl in another restaurant the night before we came to Onibaba. Our daughter had really enjoyed the Tuna Mayo onigiri the night before; she enjoyed the Tuna Mayo onigiri at Onibaba even more.
My daughter and I are both cheese lovers so we each got a Cheese Yaki onigiri to ourselves. Crispy rice on the outside, gooey cheese on the inside. I loved this; however, with all the other food we had on the table, the Cheese Yaki onigiri was a bit heavy on the stomach. I might have fared better if I'd gone with a Kombu onigiri, which was my original plan.
Oyako and Ajitama were both tasty. I did wish there had been a bit more egg in my Ajitama onigiri. I let my husband try it, and there was almost no egg left in it by the time he handed it back to me.
Unagi Yaki Chazuke came in a bowl, accompanied by a teapot which contained broth for us to pour over the onigiri. I love how this restaurant has so many different types of onigiri offerings!
Service: Good
Parking: Paid parking on the street
Location: 515 South Main St., Seattle️
Cozy, fresh and lively is what I would describe tsukushinbo. Food was amazing. Not just sushi, the beef tongue and other were amazing as well. Picture don’t lie and I have already been there 2x. Will visit again when I’m in seattle next time.
Nice spot to grab small Japanese bites. Went on a Friday afternoon and took about 40 minutes to be seated. Small place, feel bad because you can tell they are understaffed. The udon came out fast, like 10 minutes but the oninigri took 30+ minutes. It was okay, I’d come back to try something else.
