The Hit List: New Seattle Restaurants To Try Right Now - Seattle - The Infatuation
"There are casual lunch spots in Seattle, and there are special lunch spots in Seattle. Onibaba is both, which is a rarity in this town. The Japanese restaurant in the ID specializes in onigiri, and from the Tsunkshinbo team, we're not surprised to find that this place rules. The long list of fillings covers a lot of ground, like marinated egg, shrimp tempura with honey-laced mayo, and spicy cod roe. These rice parcels are so good that you could end up perfectly happy by flipping a coin to decide your order, but don’t leave it all to chance—the yaki onigiri is non-negotiable, whether grilled in sweet soy sauce until crackly and topped with a pat of butter or covered in gooey torched cheese. Rounding out an incredible spread here are Tsukushinbo’s iconic pan-seared gyoza, brothy salmon and roe ochazuke, and silky curry udon noodles." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
