Do-Re-Mi

cute spot with friendly staff and yummy snacks! don't sleep on the ice cream—there's a small selection of asian flavors and it's $3.80 for a scoop that's double the size of garden creamery's, without the line! (don't get me wrong garden earned their line)

Lovely little spot for a quick onigiri snack. Reasonable prices and perfect for eating on the go. There's some seating there if you want to eat there, but the location is pretty small and seating is limited. The onigiris are the size you would find at conbinis, but it would be AMAZING if they also made the gigantic ones. Nevertheless, good, simple food and quick service!

This onigiri street snack spot is a hidden gem. The rice balls are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. What makes it extra special is the super cute hand-drawn art on their cups. It’s such a thoughtful and charming touch that makes the experience even more memorable. A must-visit if you’re craving something tasty and aesthetic!

Very tasty onigiri! The rice is soft without being undercooked, and the fillings have great flavor. Love the kimchi onigiri in particular. The honey chrysanthemum iced tea was refreshing and subtly sweet. Great place for a snack and relax, either solo or with a friend!

cute cafe to stop by and get a snack or drink while hanging out with friends or to grab lunch if you’re working remotely. decor is very sweet and colorful.

Very good onigiri - my fav so far is garlic pork!! Def recommend to get a bite on the way to dolo

Casual stop serving Japanese light bites. So happy something better took the place of Boba Guys. The onigiri are all delicious and make perfect on-the-go snacks to bring to Dolores Park. Prices are very reasonable. I've been coming here at least once a week and will continue to do so 😄

Very cute spot. Owners are incredibly sweet. I don’t usually like seaweed and I couldn’t get enough of the onigiri teriyaki chicken

Amazing food, wonderful staff please support local, it's nice to have something different than the neighborhood. Thank y'all for being here!!

The Mission District has been having lots of different types of stores come and go over the years. There are lots of restaurants along Valencia street which are here one day and gone the next. In between Valencia and Mission street on 19th street there is a place which took over the former Boba Guys location which serves drinks and makes hand made rice balls. It's music to my ears and it's called " Do- Re- Mi. Inside Do- Re- Mi there is a kiosk with a digital menu with items like Taiwanese Mince Pork Ricebowl, Hong Kong Style House Curry Fishballs, and Japanese style Sushi Bake. I had to try the Taiwanese Pork Onigiri. It was very tasty and savory. I then had to wash it down with the Berry Fruit tea which was a bit sweet but was refreshing and flavorful. I had to try the ice cream. I got a scoop of mango and vanilla which were delicious and hit the spot. Overall a good place to enjoy a dessert and some finger foods with some inside and outside seating. Do-Re -Mi hits the note and the "verse " without the need to "curse" it does it by offering refreshing drinks and hitting the spot when you "thirst" next time I am in the area if I crave some rice ball or rice bowl this is the place I go "first " The rice balls are handmade in the Mission so they "make "onigiri and a sushi "bake" and go on an ice cream "break" and the food sings to me like Do - Re - Mi , their restaurant "namesake"

Walked by, while roaming around Valencia I decided to stop by and sample a few snacks. The Onigiri was freshly made onsite and tasty. The miso soup was refreshing, while the fish balls were acceptable. Overall, great staff and service. Good food, will definitely return and try out their other selections.

Let's start at the very beginning A very good place to start When you read, you begin with A-B-C When you sing, you begin with Do-Re-Mi (Do-Re-Mi) The first three notes just happen to be Do-Re-Mi (Do-Re-Mi) Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti... Oh dear... When it comes to new businesses, I'm not the early bird that catches the worm. No, I let other Yelpers, likely the younger, anxious ones, tell me if this snack shop would be worthwhile. This one received kudos for their onigiri (rice balls). While Taiwanese pork and chili pickled radish sounded enticing, I've been restrictive about my carb intake so I can fit into my pants. I'll try a rice ball or three sometime in the near-future. Meanwhile, on my virginal visit, I tried the $5 Hong Kong Lemon Tea (Photo 8). I found its light sweetness pleasantly evocative of the old-school coffee shops we discovered in Hong Kong last year. I came back a couple of weeks later and went for a $3.80 scoop of Mango Ice Cream, a tropically refreshing snack in the middle of the afternoon (Photo 6). There's limited counter seating for those not in grab-n-go mode. I took advantage because it provided a nice respite from the heat. I look forward to one of their rice bowls if I get over my carb phobia. Unagi eel is available after all. So-Do-La-Fa-Me-Do-Re. So-Do-La-Ti-Do-Re-Do! When you know the notes to sing, You can sing most anything! Together! REFRESHMENT - 4 stars...tea and ice cream are good, rice comes later AMBIANCE - 4 stars...sunny set-up off Mission SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...Do, a deer, a female deer... RELATED - Exploring the Mission? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/XP875GMuFJ

set my expectations high and that's on me fo shore. I ordered the salmon, pork, beef, crab and chicken teriyaki. went all out. Also tried the berry tea per recommendation of the reviews. I would pay slightly more like 4.50 if they added like 30% more filling. this is a true ball o rice if I ever saw one. the rice to filling ratio is just a bit too much rice for my preference. Fillings are basic. ground beef and ground pork. normal california roll crab I believe ? my rank: crab salmon pork chicken beef I like the way they are wrapped. the berry tea was a bit too sweet for me. The cute little cat drawing was really cute. The onigiris are comparable to a premade one from mitsuwa or the likes but made fresh and slightly less filling, but better tasting. I ordered on the Ipad wasn't very busy and got my order in 10 minutes ish. Nice grab and go for the park. not bad. I like better than onigilly.

I got the Taiwanese minced pork onigiri, the garlic beef onigiri, a berry iced tea, and some miso soup... and literally everything was so tasty. The onigiri came in those little self-wrapping sleeves like they do in Japanese convenience stores, which was a cute touch. The seaweed stayed crispy and I wish I would've bought one to go. The pork was juicy and flavorful, the garlic beef had me in a chokehold, and the iced tea was super refreshing -- not too sweet, just right. Miso soup did its job, warm and cozy like a lil side hug. Service wise, it was just a kiosk but the food was brought to me at least lol. I'll definitely be back to try one of the rice bowls!!

Came across this new shop that replaced Steep (and former Boba Guys location), so we stopped by to try them out. They sell Taiwanese inspired onigiri, with flavors such as Taiwanese Pork & Peppered Beef. They were super accommodating and was able to tell me which onigiris contained allergens for us to avoid due to allergies. We got the Taiwanese Pork and the Chicken Teriyaki and they were both so full of flavor. They also season the rice of the onigiri with furikake, so it was flavorful and not just plain rice, which I loved! The owner was also so sweet and offered us a free honey chrysanthemum tea when we were there when he found out we walked half an hour to get there. Will definitely be back for more!

Broque and kinda hangry in The Mission? Do-Re-Mi fa, sol, la, ti, do I can't carry a tune but I can talk food... Soft opening on 6/16/25, Do-Re-Mi is a new AZN snack shop taking over Steep (previously Boba Guys). Seems to be family owned and operated. Mainly a takeout spot but there's a few counter seats. M E N U Onigiri: Rice Balls ($3.50-$4.25), Street Snacks ($2.50-$4.80), Ice Cream (1 scoop-$3.80, 2 scoop-$5.80), and Teas ($4.80). No milk teas or boba but I hope they consider adding HK milk tea in the future. Teas come unsweetened but can be sweetened upon request. S N A C K S * Taiwanese Pork Onigiri ($3.80) * Chicken Teriyaki Onigiri ($3.80) Onigiri comes with nori that you peel to unwrap so it's fresh and crispy. The short grain rice was warm and well-seasoned with flecks of furikake. While both were delicious, my fav was the lu ruo, braised savory Taiwanese pork. I think the chicken teriyaki needed a touch more sauce. * Curry Fish Balls ($4.80) A popular HK street food, the bouncy fish balls are simmered in a rich, mildly spicy curry sauce. I washed everything down with their House Tea ($4.80), a refreshing iced jasmine tea. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt service. They offered free tea samples while I waited for my order. The owner, Judy was very gracious and kind. A M B I A N C E Casual and modern with a few counter seats. P A R K I N G There's several 5 minute loading zone spaces in front. Overall, if you're looking for a delicious and wallet-friendly snack in The Mission, hit up Do-Re-Mi!

After just happening to be walking by, Do-Re-Mi absolutely blew us out of the water! The honey and I ordered a taiwanese pork rice ball onigiri from the tablet at the front and we both wished we'd gotten more of them! I found the flavor to be wonderfully rich and perfect - almost like eating a rice bbq bao. So good. The business has limited inside seating with no outside seating, and it's already a popular spot so our food took a few minutes to come out because they make them to order. All in all, we adored Do-Re-Mi's onigiri and we will absolutely be back!

Do-Re-Mi soft opening now. My daughter suggested that I try this fun place for their green tea and lychee ice creams from Japan. We also ordered the triangle rice seaweed onigiri to tide us over until dinner. These conveniently packaged rice snacks are perfect for taking to the park or on-the-go. They're easy to open, just follow the simple 1-2-3 steps, no mess and no fuss. Do-Re-Mi offers a variety of fillings, and the rice was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back for more!

Do-Re-Mi just started their soft opening a few days ago and will have their grand opening on 6/26! I'm so happy I stumbled across them during my run. All of the staff members were so sweet and excited to talk about their offerings. They also gave me a sample of their honey chrysanthemum tea, which was incredibly delicious and refreshing. I ordered a Taiwanese Pork Onigiri, which I loved. It was the perfect afternoon snack--the pork was super flavorful, and the rice was well cooked. The price point was also super reasonable! I hope to be back to try their other filling options soon, as well as to see what their full menu offers (they mentioned that there would be more Taiwanese snacks and bowls). Overall, I'm super happy to have Do-Re-Mi as a new addition to the neighborhood! I think they would be such a perfect place to grab a snack or bite to eat (and bring to Dolores for a picnic). :)

Fa-Soooooooo, I'm back as promised. La Ti Do not stop and go directly to the order screen in the shop to pick your snacks and drink! Warning. Read the instructions on the packaging on how to open the onigiri. Pull red strip and pull corners 2 & 3. Can I say ORIGAMI onigiri? Yes, I can. My boyfriend ripped right into his onigiri and made a mess. Mine was nice and neat... and the nori was oh so crispy fresh and yummy. Clever clever on how the onigiri is packaged. The artistry and packaging in itself is a fun experience. We had the Taiwan pork, chicken teriyaki and salmon onigiri. My boyfriend also ordered the curry fish balls. Unfortunately, this snack lacked flavor or the expected S&B Golden Curry flavor and consistency. It was flavorless and watery. Hands down on the chrysanthemum honey tea. Domo arigato, Do Re Mi!

My office is one block away from Do-Re-Mi. Ever since they opened, I have enjoyed getting my lunch here. I have enjoyed their onigiri, rice boxes, drinks. Their food is really tasty and feels like comfort food. The staff is really nice. They have some cute colorful chairs and tables in front of their store to sit and relax. The last few times I picked up lunch they have given me a complimentary miso soup. I would definitely give this place a try if you are in the area =)

7/20/25 Kind of a plus/minus situation. I passed by this place on my way to my car. Curious thinking it was a boba spot, I went in so I could snag one for my drive home. Just as I walked in it seemed like they were about to close, I looked at the door and saw the hours so I proceeded to leave. The workers(owners?) welcomed me back in and offered to take my order. As a courtesy I didn't want to take my time and proceeded to order something quickly. I ended up with the spicy sushi bake. My friend makes a very good sushi bake so I was hoping this would measure up, especially for the price. Anyways, the plus minus here is taste vs portion vs ratios. I haven't had a ton of sushi bakes but for me, it had the vibes of a salmon skin roll; the taste was pretty good overall. It contained spicy mayo, salmon, crab and tobiko all over rice. It had some nice textural elements. There was something a little crunchy, that just really hit the spot. It had a nice touch of heat but nothing overpowering. The big problem was that it was $13.80 before tax and tip. It came in a large relatively heavy container, which were the first red flags, and which meant it would be full of rice. I was correct. The container was very full of rice, which may seem nice, but topped with very little of the other sushi bake elements. It was such a small amount of salmon and crab that it made sense why the price seemed too good to be true. So you basically pay for a giant bowl of rice. If they are trying to be a budget friendly option for people in the area, I can understand that. When it comes to food in general though, I generally would rather just pay more for a balanced, tasty, well proportioned dish.

i really liked the salmon onigiri, and thought the shop was really cute. servers were also very helpful!

By chance, I wandered by this shop before dinner time and stopped to get some onigiri and a drink because I was hungry and the prices looked quite cheap. tried the chicken teriyaki and Taiwanese pork - they were SO flavorful and tasty! Of all of the onigiri places I've tried in the Bay Area, these were by far the most delicious and they ranged from $3.80 up, which is incredible value. The melon cream soda float was also amazing, perfect for a hot day. They were really generous with the amount of ice cream, which was a nice surprise since I'm used to tiny scoops in floats. As a bonus, I got a cute drawing on my cup that I literally want tattooed on me because it's that sweet. The other customers also got doodles on their cups and it's a small but wonderful thing to do. One of the workers also came by and offered me a sample of their curry fishball, which was great. All-around a really fantastic surprise stop that was delightful in every way!

Do-Re-Mi is officially singing its way into the hearts (and bellies) of the Mission. This quaint little spot may be small in size, but it delivers HUGE flavor. The kind that catches you off guard in the best way. I tried their Spicy Sushi Bake, and finally, someone in the city is doing this right. The rice was perfectly fluffy, layered with spicy salmon, crab, and tobiko. It was rich, creamy, savory, and just the right amount of heat. I was scraping the bowl for every last bite. Then came the Tuna Onigiri. Simple, clean, packed with flavor. Like a perfectly wrapped little umami bomb. I'm already eyeing the other options on the menu. Even the miso soup was a standout. Seaweed, tofu, and green onions came together in the most comforting way. Nothing watered down or bland here. Service was top tier. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment I walked in. You can tell they care about the experience just as much as the food. This place may still be under the radar. But not for long. Do-Re-Mi is about to become everyone's favorite new harmony in the Mission.

Great ongiri. Fills the niche of an affordable delicious snack in the mission. I got the pork ongiri and will be back to try the tea.

Super tasty onigiri, and prices are reasonable. Do-Re-Mi has become a go-to for lunch or a quick snack. Try the crab onigiri.

Very good onigiri! The Taiwanese pork is my favorite. I have gotten the miso soup and the ice cream float and those were solid options! The food is priced well for size/quality you receive.

The food is so good!!!!! The service is nice. It's a nice quiet little place. Food here is a good price. I would come here all the time.

I stopped by for a light dinner and was quite satisfied by what I got. I opted for beef and salmon onigiri, and a tea egg. The onigiri was generously filled, and the proteins were flavorful and well-cooked. The tea egg was good, but the shell was left on, which was cumbersome. For the price, there aren't many better deals in the Mission, let alone the city!

Loved the unagi bento -- tasty and fresh! The owner is super friendly too! Great value too!

Yummy food and drinks and the staff is so nice and helpful!! My favorites are the taiwanese pork and the tuna onigiris

A Must-Try Spot for Snack Lovers! If you're into quick bites and great flavors at affordable prices, this place is a must! The onigiri here is on point and perfectly seasoned with generous meat fillings (unlike a lot of other places that give you mostly rice and barely any meat). You can really taste the quality. I also tried their sesame ice cream so creamy, smooth, and rich. (Imported from Japan) The place is also super clean, which makes the experience even better and the atmosphere is very pleasant and friendly. While waiting for our food (which wasn't a long wait at all) they offered us free samples. On top of that the rice in the onigiri was warm and not cold since it is freshly and handmade. Will definitely be coming back! Very friendly customer service!

Can't believe a simple rice ball will be so delicious! After talking to the owner and realized all ingredients are coming from Japan including rice, meat, seaweed and even ice cream! All tea is made from original recipe so makes them have unique favorite!

I love this new place for lunch and dinner when craving rice ball nigiri. Very convenient and fast serving! I like all of their flavors especially the chief recommendations Taiwan pork and crab meat rice ball nigiri. Their house curry fish ball and miso soup are the MUST-have for my 4 and 6 yo daughters. We have also tried house Chrysanthemums tea which they literally make from scratch, so fresh for the summer, Love it! Will definitely come back and highly recommended!

This cute little store- Do Re Mi is a hidden gem located on 19th Valencia Street near my parents house just around the corner . Love to see more family run businesses in this busy neighborhood. They are focused on healthy snacks and healthy drinks . I love their lemon tea drink packed with strong tea flavor . Onigiris was so yummy , and curry fish ball very tasty too . Staff was nice and friendly, definitely will go back to this place [Smile]

Love this place. Always stop in for a couple onigiri. Super tasty and reasonably priced too. Hard to pick a favorite but maybe I'd go with the salmon. Super friendly staff too. Perfect if you just want a snack to grab before going to Dolores Park.

We were walking by and saw that they were having their soft launch! Super friendly family run business - they let us try the ice creams and told us more about the Japanese drinks. Got a tofu onigiri and chrysanthemum tea, both were great and very reasonably priced! Will return for their grand opening next week for sure! My only suggestion to them is to carry some hot sauce for the food haha :)

I found this place by searching up restaurants in SF that sell onigiris (that are actually affordable) and came across Do-Re-Mi! My friend and I came here very excited to try this new place and I had high hopes after reading all the positive reviews. I ordered the tuna/kimchi/chicken teriyaki and my friend had the tuna/salmon. The service was great as they made your onigiri's fresh by hand (which I LOVED). We made our way over to Dolores Park to munch on them and we both instantly fell in love with the tuna onigiris :D We loved them so much and wanted to try all the other flavors that after the park we headed back to the store to purchase more but this time the crab/pickled radish/garlic beef! I think out of the ones we tried tuna is still my #1 and I would still go back to try the pork. I'm definitely going to become a recurring customer! We also wanted to try the lychee ice cream so next time I'm there I will be trying !

This place is so bomb. We get the salmon and crab onigiri which satisfy that quick craving of a sushi roll on the go. The iced berry tea, do not sleep on that!!! I would have a whole gallon of that in my fridge if I could. And if you're lucky, one of the workers will draw you a cute little cartoon on your cup. 10/10, such a fun addition to the mission!

Lychee bits in the ice cream made it next level! I like how the flavors taste fresh and creamy.

Good food and atmosphere. Onigiris were delicious. Staff was nice to us and was kind.

The onigiri was very tasty. The staff are also very friendly and fast! They helped cater a company event for my team. Very convenient location with great pricing. Next time I will try to eat in.

So happy to find this new shop near me! The prices are very reasonable, and the service is incredibly kind and welcoming. I was just waiting for my friend and ordered a sushi bake to try--it looked so good I took a small bite... and ended up finishing the whole thing before they arrived! Everything was fresh and delicious. Drinks are super refreshing too. Will definitely be back again soon. Highly recommend!

I love that I can get 肉燥饭 here and the onigiri are good. The drinks and treats were tasty, too. Everyone working there was so kind as well!

i stopped here to grab a quick snack. i ordered the taiwanese pork onigiri, which came out to about $4-$5. it was filling and tasty, so i think i would return for a good snack that's handheld and easy to bring to a park. i gave 3 stars because the service was a little odd; everyone was on their phones. i get that it wasn't super busy but i think it makes the service experience kind of awkward when you are asking questions and you have to pull someone's attention away. the people working there seemed a little tense and there wasn't anywhere to sit and wait for the food. it is definitely takeout only but the vibe in the store is pretty uncomfortable.

Stumbled upon this spot walking around sf and pleasantly surprised! I got the Taiwanese pork and crab meat onigiri ($3.80 each). The pork was my favorite, super filling and tasty for the price. They also have drinks and dessert, my friend got the black sesame ice cream and that was bomb too. Would def recc to check out for cheap eats if you're in the area!

OBSESSED with this cute little spot! The onigiri are ALL amazing, especially the salmon & garlic beef Me and my coworkers come here every day plus the prices are unbeatable! Try the lychee ice cream is great too! The workers are all super nice and great customer service

Salmon onigiri. Not too big but big enough to fill you up. Great size for a snack to get you through the day. Nice that there is salmon spreader throughout rice ball and not just in the middle. N

Love the staff and service in there! Their onigiris are worth a try especially the kimchi flavored one. Milk tea, ice cream, and snacks, perfect combination for a sunny afternoon and they have got them all.

I haven't left a review in 17 years but this place inspired me to write this one (even in a world where I don't particularly want to leave a digital trace.) These onigiri rocked. The lychee and black sesame ice creams are world class. Super fair pricepoint and value So happy to have this place in the neighborhood! Can't wait to be back and tell everyone I know.

Small restaurant but their onigiri tastes really good, perfect size for breakfast if you leave it in fridge overnight. Curry fishballs are one of the best I've tried.

Visited this cute little store during its soft opening and was blown away. I ordered the chicken teriyaki onigiri and it was fresh and packed with flavor and so delicious. The owners are the kindest and even offer samples. Definitely come to this place if you're looking for a great snack and a good experience. Great for foodies, tourists, and locals! Come and you won't regret it!

this place is soooooooo good. i loveddddddddd the melon float. I recommend all of you coming to get it and the rice balls are very easy to open if your aren't the secondary underling. Also shoutout this store for the little freebie ice cream me and the other underlings appreciated it very much.

Really good and flavorful onigiris!! I got the Tuna & Salmon. Also has a great amount of filling. I usually get onigiris from Nijiya Market but those aren't half as tasty or as full as these!

Food was 5 star. I had 2 onigiris; crab and Taiwanese pork. Both were delicious. The seaweed wrap was crispy and filling was perfectly seasoned. The rice to filling ration was perfect. Most other onigiri I tried are simply made with a lot of rice and non-seasoned meat, so this was really special. We went during the soft opening and also at 2pm. Service was very friendly. Slight wait was our food was freshly prepared. Nice addition to the neighborhood. Colorful, inviting interior. Love supporting these small family businesses.

The Taiwanese Pork and Garlic Beef varieties are nothing short of spectacular. The pork is juicy and rich, richly seasoned like a fluffy BBQ bao. The rice is perfectly textured, infused with furikake seasoning and wrapped in crispy nori that stays delightfully fresh--even after taking a few bites. Those little self-wrapping sleeves are perfect and easy to use.
