Was User at Riceful a mag?
This spot is serving meal kit, and also provide delivery service during COVID, but have to order more than 5 onigiri. I ordered a box of deluxe, includes all the flavor which I want to try. They are pretty big, good enough for dinner or lunch. Each combination is good taste, i do like unagi a lot!!! View all feedback.
What User dislikes about Riceful:
I tried the onigiri with shrimp tempura, spam, and egg. It was a unique taste that I had never experienced before. While it wasn't bad and the portion size was good, it's not something I would choose to eat again. I can see why it's a popular choice, especially with the spam, but personally, it's not a combination I would crave. The restaurant is charming, clean, and has a very Japanese feel.

Unagi Nigiri was pretty good! It's a nice snack especially if you don't want a full meal. That being said, it is a bit overpriced given what the same dollar value can get you at other restaurants in the area. As a Cal student it is very convenient to order through snack pass so I'm very happy it's an option when I'm craving it, however it is not my everyday choice.
Riceful used to be my stop almost every time I was in Berkeley to visit my cousin. They are near UC Berkeley, but more off to the side, which I prefer because it gets kind of hectic down the street where all the other food places are. Parking is either street or garage parking. Each onigiri used to be about $6, but now it is almost $10 for one and I usually like getting both the Go Cal Onigiri and the Go Bears Onigiri. I must say they are filling though, but it is on the pricier side. They also do not have the hot pressed boba toasts which were unique and pretty good.
TL:DR A unique treat, but a bit pricey! Located near the UC Berkley campus, Riceful takes the concept of a musubi and morphs it into a sandwich. In the process of doing so, they are able to add in more toppings and meat. Ordering at Riceful is easy and quick. There's a digital menu outside where you select what you want, pay, and are even given a digital countdown of when your order will be ready. I went with the soft shell crab riceful and it took about 8 min to make from when I put in my order. (I'm not sure what to call this new creation, so I'm gonna call it a rice wich. The rice wich was warm to the touch when I received it, and would continue to stay warm for the next 45 min before I could properly eat it. Despite the really long time between picking up the order and eating it, the food was really good! The soft shell crab still had a crunch to it and I could even taste the crab. Sometimes places will over batter or over cook the crab, in effect destroying any flavor of the actual crab. Riceful did a great job of cooking it! Combined with the mayo and lettuce, my soft shell crab rice wich was perfect. Even though the food was delicious, the price was not. Each rice wich ranges from $8 up to $12. It's quite expensive for the amount of food that you get. I think if the price were closer to $6 or $7 you'd find this place packed. Until then, I'll only visit this place once in a blue moon.
I’ve ordered from here on ubereats like 5 times already it’s so good get the golden double shrimp onigiri Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5
Just happened to pass by and see this place. I like onigiri, so thought I’d give it a try. I had the unagi onigiri. The taste was very good. A little messy as it fell apart a bit while eating. I do wish the unagi pieces were a bit bigger. I was left with half the onigiri with just spam and egg, but that was still very tasty. I’d definitely go back. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
