What User likes about Onigilly Japanese Kitchen Walnut Creek:
If you enjoy rice triangles, this is the place for you. I prefer a bit more seasoning on the rice triangles for easier eating, but overall this place is good. While some may say the service is slow, I would argue that they are methodical. Consider this place a great addition to the local dining scene. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Onigilly Japanese Kitchen Walnut Creek:
The restaurant was quite average. The portion of fish was small, and the tuna was not very fresh and had a limited selection of toppings. The rice that came with the dish was good, but there was too much of it. View all feedback.

Onigilly, a new addition to Walnut Creek's dining scene, presents a mixed bag of culinary experiences centered around Japanese onigiri. While some dishes like the ume onigiri and unique fillings such as spicy bacon and lemon shrimp receive praise for their flavors, others, including the tuna and certain rice triangles, have been criticized for freshness and seasoning. Service is generally friendly, though occasionally slow, reflecting pandemic-related staffing challenges. The restaurant’s clean ambiance and online ordering efficiency also contribute positively, making it a worthwhile exploration for onigiri lovers and those seeking traditional Japanese fare in the area.

Came here for a quick lunch and they have the perfect bite sized onigiri. Their filling to rice ratio was on point and the onigiri set I had was the bomb. So sa...

A great addition to the Japanese (owned or operated) restaurants in the area! Don't listen to Katherine M. She's clearly ignorant of the cuisine. She's welcome...
