Oori Triangles - Piedmont Ave

I typically really enjoy this place although this is my first time at this location I would like to say that I was pretty disappointed in my order. I ordered the buldak chicken which was good this is my first time ordering it and then I ordered the short ribs and Teriyaki which was dry it literally seems like they didn't even put the normal amount of sauce that they put and I even asked for extra sauce. It was too young girls working in there so maybe that's what the issue is but completely disappointing that was my first time at this location.

Love this place, I go about once a week. All the meats are really good and seasoned especially when paired with the spicy mayo or even extra teriyaki sauce which isn’t needed in just a big back. The stars of the show is the short rib triangle, and the buldock and unagi are ok too.

Yummy new onigiri place just opened up on Piedmont. Tasty and fresh. Love the spicy tuna one. Great for a snack or a meal. Will be back!

I fell in love with Oori and I’ve been going there for about a year now. My son first got me Oori from Berkeley then we discovered one in piedmont. Amazing. Well one day we went back to Berkeley because it was late that was the only open one. I spent 70 bucks just to get home and find my fiery chicken was blend and no fire and no buldak. It was basically just grilled chicken. No after that I decided to stick with piedmont I went there great but today I returned and just to spend 40 bucks on blend dry fiery un buldak chicken. Very disappointing very very very upset. Waste of money. So Oori is a hit or miss now.

The food is good but they really need to work on their lack of customer service. I've been here multiple times and the customer service is unpleasant each time. I won't be returning.

Was very surprised at how packed a plate was. Ordered the spicy pork plate and it was extremely filling

Take out only but tasty and quick, great for a decent grab n go, good selection, unique choices

Unagi and short rib were standouts. Tasty, fresh and side of edamame was a nice touch

Onigiri (rice ball) hasn't picked up the popularity of ramen when it comes to widespread adoption by Westerners. Yeah, I'm talking to you. I'm talking to me, too, because I've never been a devoted fan of rice balls since I view them as pure carb loaders. My mom used to make the big ones with umeboshi (pickled plum). I'd adroitly avoid them until she knew better to offer them to me anymore. This spot offers thirteen filling variations on the rice ball. I stopped by and tried a couple of their so-called triangles. I selected the $5.99 Single Unagi and the $4.95 Short Rib Triangle both wrapped in nori and with chopped scallions added (Photo). They were decent enough with the unagi broiled traditionally and the marinated short rib prepared like kalbi. The rice was still dominant though I could tell they were trying to make it proportionally less of the onigiri. They're smart to offer tacos, rice plates, and salads because I think people expect more than rice triangles for sustenance. Written like a true Westerner, right? FOOD - 3 stars...as rice balls go, they're fine with reasonable filling options AMBIANCE - 3 stars...small space, just a few seats SERVICE - 3 stars...not very present TOTAL - 3 stars...I kinda miss my mom's onigiri now RELATED - Exploring Piedmont Avenue? Here's a collection of places l've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2IORAHj

Oori Triangles opened where Roji Ramen once was. Infrastructure totally renovated. Just order on kiosk n go. No dining area. Minimal decor. Ordering done on kiosk. Easy peasy until checkout. Amigo in kitchen alerted me where invisible "tap" option was. Done! Oori are Korean version of onigiri. Food made to order. Offerings (Korean): triangles, salads, drinks.. Bites: short rib triange(4.95), double unagi triange (6.99, ume triangle (3.97) -crispy thin nori (seaweed) on all. Short grain rice freshly made. Has some kind marinate/flavoring. Furikake or salt? Neutral flavor doesn't conflict with fillings' flava. Triangles made to order. Fillings tastes freshly made. -lime squeeze, roasted sesame seed, chili powder, teriyaki sauce, "spicy", scallions optional add ons. Default deliciousness enhanced thereupon. Short rib very tender, nicely flavored. Unagi recently grilled. Lotsa flava. Ume (tart plum) also phenom.. *edamame, lime squeeze free with 3 triangles. Lime added zest. Edamame not my thing. Roasted and chewy it was, not soggy. Protein benefits..

This place is soooo good for a light snack or even a lunch! I work around the area and it's been super easy for me to grab a few triangles, eat in store, and head back during my 30 min break. So far, I've tried: 5/5 spicy ahi tuna 5/5 unagi 5/5 short rib 4/5 spicy pork All are delicious, and they even have vegetarian and vegan options! You order and pay via tablet. My suggestion is to get a 2 or 3-triangle set to try different combos. Always coming back!

Walked in on a 7:30 pm on a weekend. Perhaps since it was closing time, it was empty but also the ambiance felt like there was a sort of a void. Perhaps the minimalistic design? No seating like the other locations. But kiosk ordering like the other locations. Space is conducive to a grab and go or eat-quickly-while-standing type of restaurant. Triangles are still good and the ingredients and condiments are generous as always!

This Oori Triangles location is just less nice than their Berkeley or Rockridge locations, so I recommend trying those before this one. There's no seating outside (unusual for the brand), only two available seats inside, and my normal triangle was messier than I've received before, though still quite tasty. It does have the same two order tablets and prompt service as their other locations, however while I'd give them four stars I probably wouldn't come back.

This was a new place that I tried. Recommended by one of my coworkers. I ended up get the short ribs I believe. It was good. A small little whole in the wall.

Me and my boyfriend are legit addicted to the spicy tuna rice plate. So much so I googled how much tuna you can eat weekly before getting mercury poisoning. Eat at your own risk of being addicted like we are! Absolutely fabulous.

It's alright, nothing special. I prefer sushi or poke. The $1 rice triangles from the vending machines in Tokyo airports and on the streets or from the convenience stores such as 7eleven are better but obviously the plane ticket costs a lot more than $5. The price is fine especially for bay area standards. Also these fall apart way more easily. I feel like they are missing something, maybe like teriyaki or unagi sauce or other ingredients, I don't know, and have too much rice and lack the other ingredients such as protein. Overall not bad but I think this place is overrated however I'm willing to give it another chance in the future

Good onigiri! Especially their salmon with teriyaki sauce Can't wait to try their other items

$22 for a HUGE salad with 3 toppings. Ordering kiosks were easy to use and it was easy to sign up for their rewards program. Clean inside and it seems orders are made on the spot versus reheated. New clean feel. Spinach Salad was gigantic and the grilled salmon, chicken, and spicy ahi tuna were all really delicious. Will definitely be back!

Super fast to grab and go - they have standing room if you want to eat there but no seats. They have kiosks to put in the order and it's all straight forward. It's decent for a quick bite with no fuss- I ordered the spicy salmon and the unagi - both were good! Happy to have this addition in the neighborhood

All the kids and teens love this place. Portable, simple and not too pricey for these rice triangles wrapped in seaweed with a topping of choice.

Have grabbed triangles a few times and each time the service is so good and fast. Each triangle we've gotten has always been delicious. Especially when squeezing the lemon and adding the chipotle mayo to the triangle.

Future closure coming. The food is not good. Probably one of the worst onigiri I've had in my mouth. Rice was hard and the seaweed was a soggy mess. Their product needs some r and d.

These people are utterly incompetent. I gave them a another chance and order $40+ worth of food. I paid for extra teriyaki sauce and was shortchanged. Shitshow. Also, I had to wait 10 minutes longer than the estimated pickup time.

This place opened up recently on Piedmont Ave and it is really yummy!! I would definitely come back! such a quick, easy and tasty bite. The ahi tuna was delicious.

Oori is the bestttt. I've been obsessed with it for years and make sure to stop by every time in Albany, but I'm so glad they have one in Oakland now! I know that the rice triangles are a hit but their plates are great too.

I love this place and am glad there's one closer to my house! I've been to the Berkeley & Albany locations and this is just as healthy & delicious. Portions are nice, the food is made to order and the price is nice! The spicy shrimp & short rib are my favorite. My family likes the salmon & spicy pork.

Sooo good! $17 for 3 solid sized triangles + edamame. We got the short rib, spicy chicken, and ahi- all were delicious, and we will be back! FYI that it's more of a take out place, but it's on cute street with places to browse / window shop

Oori Triangles is not authentic onigiri or rice triangles. This is just another corporate chain trying to capitalize off the next food trend. The rice triangles were sloppy wrapped and very poor in taste and quality. The seaweed wrapping was very chewy and sloppy. The filling had little flavor (got kimchi and spicy tofu). The condiments do not help with the already poor flavor. The brown sweet sauce has a gelatin like consistency and it tastes like the scooped grease from a pan and added some soy sauce. It was hot as heck inside of this location. I know the employees were in the back sweeting over the food they were preparing. Will not be returning.
