TOKIDOKI

Everything on their menu is great! They have the best bento, riceballs, and miso soup. The sandwiches are also fantastic. But for me, I go for the miso soup as they open, and bento box for lunch. Such a nourishing assortment of yummy foods in the bento box. The variety, the color, the visual presentation is just top notch! And your soul is fed. If you are getting pork katsu, they make them on the spot so give yourself some time, or pre order if you are in a time crunch. The riceballs- they make them so people can grab and go too- so it’s nice when I’m in a rush. I can’t say enough great things about them.

One of my favorite neighborhood spots for delicious onigiri, the most incredible bento boxes full of an amazing assortment of items. The egg and pastrami sando is another special breakfast item. Also love the yuzu sake slushy when they turn into a cocktail bar in the evenings. Also a huge fan of their sister restaurant next door — Shalom Japan. The owners and staff are warm, friendly and welcoming. The space is casual and relaxed, always good music and vibes.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service, but have to agree that the onigiri is terribly underfilled. I expected a bit more than rice with a hint of salmon flavor. I could see coming here for a coffee or something, but I wouldn't return for the food.

Very cute cafe and nice staff. I had a rice ball and miso soup combo. The onigiri was very delicious (pictured ikura + cooked salmon) and the miso soup was very hearty- Full of vegetables. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

Onigiris look huge, but are 99% filled with rice. They are barely filled and cost about $14 for 2…

came to new york with onigiri in mind. this place was just what i was looking for. we got the Spicy Salmon onigiri (fire), Tuna Mayo with caper onigiri (so yum), and the miso soup (soooo warm and delicious with big veggies in it) fairly priced, outdoor seating that was so comfy and beautiful, the person working was very sweet. so stunning inside and outside and not busy.

I come in for the Matcha because it is high-quality compared to other matchas in the area. My only complaint is that it is very expensive. Upwards of eight dollars, for a very small cup of Matcha. It makes it hard to justify. If it was a regular size like a 12 or 16 ounce usually found at cafes this place would be an easy five stars.

Great tasting matcha and cute decor. Onigiri had great flavor too and perfect rice :)

After passing by when I either just ate or had my coffee, I finally ventured inside after one weekday morning. I ordered the egg and cheese sando with pastrami add-on. It did not disappoint. Eggs were fluffy and the pastrami was just the right amount. The flavors balanced each other well. The bread itself was very soft and perfectly cut into two. The space itself is simple but does the job. They have a display of rice balls and other treats. I definitely will make it point to dine in one of these days.

Tokidoki is a new aesthetic Japanese daytime (weekdays only) coffee and sando shop concept that I can only assume is affiliated with the stalwart Shalom Japan next door. I tried the egg and cheese sando and the miso soup on the side. The miso soup was rich with nicely tender, thick slabs of daikon and a generous portion of wakame, both of which I appreciated. The sando was not exactly what I was expecting, in that it appeared to be served on sandwich bread rather than milk bread. The omelette was nicely fluffy.

A great selection of Sandos, Onigiri, Bento, and pastry on their first day. I got the delicious Karaage Bento and the wonderful Pastrami, Egg and Cheese Sando

Absolutely fantastic! I had the Reupban Pan and it was simply delicious! Loved the vibe and very friendly staff. will definitely be my new favorite neighborhood spot!
