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, ni
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 fl
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 definite
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 (J
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
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
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.
Lovely hidden gem with great onigiris and other Japanese fare. It was pretty difficult to find as there is not a big sign out front, but it is located where it says on Google Maps!
*Important Note*
They just opened at the beginning on May, 2023 so ignore all reviews and pictures before this point!
Past reviews were for when this space was just Tsukishinbo but this is a whole different restaurant and menu.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere.
I had the katsu curry (por
What a hidden treasure in the international district! I got the luxury to dine in and sit at the front right next to the chef. Head Chef & owner Sho served us katsu & fried rice, onigiri and several rolls. This truly was an amazing experience, after dining I got the chance to speak to Sho and learn
As soon as I heard about Onibaba I had to check this place out, there is not a lot of places in Seattle to get Onigiri so I was excited to learn that is place existed, I have to recommend all of the Yakionigiri it is such an unique way to enjoy the dish, if you have a free moment to drop in, or need

I really enjoyed this restaurant. I went pretty late but they were good about keeping the wait-list going until ~45 min before close and didn't rush us after close. Wait was about 20 min outside, be prepared for that. I almost left, but I'm glad I decided to stay.
They were out of a lo
Accidentally-on-purpose tried their new concept on opening day. Folks were kind and attentive, it was delightful.
The onigiri!! So fresh, gently warm, a bit of filling in every bite. They half wrap the onigiri so that it's presented prettily and you still have some crispy seaweed to enjoy.
The curry
It was pretty good!
We came here for an early Sunday dinner and was impressed! The place is kind of hard to find because of the subtle sign, but super easy to find parking in the area.
I would highly recommend the nigiri and sashimi here. The onigiri and sushi rolls were just okay, nothing super s
