Eco-conscious setting for quick omusubi (Japanese rice balls) with different fillings & sides.
"This tiny omusubi shop is open every day and these stuffed rice balls make for one of our favorite quick lunches in the city. We usually go for the tender miso beef with caramelized onion, the curried chicken, or the spicy cured salmon, and since everything’s under $5, why not get all three? Plus, they have free barley water, which helps us reach peak hydration. " - sylvio martins, jess basser sanders
"This longtime fast-casual restaurant on Main Street in Santa Monica serves the delightful comforts of Japanese onigiri, filled rice balls that are a popular and affordable snack found in Japan’s convenience stores. Sunny Blue takes the format to new heights with curry, miso beef, spicy salmon, mentaiko, and pickled vegetarian options, all at reasonable prices. A nice departure from the mostly pricey restaurants of the Westside." - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang
