Japanese eatery with tempura bowls and onigiri
"Summertime picnics don’t have to consist of boring turkey sandwiches and potato chips. This tiny Chinatown spot makes baskets of handmade onigiri, ready to grab and take to the Super Summer Theatre. The tasty palm-sized chicken omurice wrapped in an egg omelette is topped with a ketchup heart, which makes it a cuter alternative to the egg sandwich you never wanted in the first place." - emmy kasten

"What started with long lines has settled into a compact, high-quality concept built around a self-serve onigiri counter and tempura-focused dining. The to-go onigiri are plastic-wrapped rice balls filled with items like chashu pork, heart-shaped chicken omurice, and salmon topped with salty ikura, but the full tempura experience requires sitting down for rice bowls piled high with super-crunchy, lightly battered tempura shrimp, lotus root, squash, and maitake mushrooms. The kitchen’s seasoned batter yields exceptionally airy, crispy results, and diners can customize heat and umami with shakes of chili pepper and smoky matcha salt; wait times have eased to around 15 minutes, especially near 5 p.m." - Janna Karel
"Chamon goes all in on onigiri and tempura. The tight menu features tempura bowls and a grab-and-go selection of onigiri. A tendon bowl piles hot and crispy ebi shrimp, soft-boiled eggs, lotus rook, and enoki mushrooms over steamed rice. Precisely shaped triangles of onigiri combine seasoned rice with salmon ikura, edamame, and spicy takana greens." - Janna Karel, Matthew Kang
