Gelato, waffles, sundaes, and Japanese onigiri lunch bowls
"This Japanese onigiri shop makes lunch feel like visiting an art gallery - picturesque rice balls come decorated with ikura, rimmed with black sesame seeds, or coyly covered with shiso leaves like a snack version of Adam and Eve. There are a few heftier items on the menu, like chicken curry and salmon donburi, but we prefer to stick with the classics, like spicy tuna onigiri and kimchi fried chicken." - Brant Cox, Kat Hong, Brett Keating

"Japanese onigiri specialist, Super Rich, will be popping up at Paper Please for back-to-back Sundays, on May 30th, and June 6th. You’ll find them right outside the Chinatown shop’s entrance from 9am-2pm (or until they sell out), serving traditional rice balls filled with yuzu salmon, Napa kimchi, vegan chicken, and more. It’s sure to be a ball (we’ll see ourselves out now)." - Kat Hong
"My phone’s weather app read 88 degrees on Sunday, and even though this fall temperature rollercoaster is typical for LA, it always lands as a shock. I ducked into Super Rich and asked for a cold recommendation and chose the oat milk matcha. This concentrated tea’s glowing green color is always a welcome sight, so are the earthy and flowery notes. Super Rich’s matcha scent overwhelms in a good way, and is the best sort of pick-me-up on a warm afternoon. While there, it’s not a bad idea to nab some onigiri or donburi, especially the latter with yuzu salmon with pickled vegetables." - Eater Staff
