Onigiri Kitchen & Sake Bar

"Onigiri - is one of those little Melbourne gems that reminds you why the city’s laneway food scene is so loved. Tucked away with that unmistakable Melbourne laneway vibe, it feels relaxed, authentic, and welcoming the moment you arrive. The food is excellent-fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavour. The onigiri are simple but done perfectly, showcasing quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. What really elevates the experience is the service. The team are warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making you feel like a regular even on your first visit. If you enjoy great Japanese comfort food served with care in a classic Melbourne laneway setting, Onigiri is absolutely worth a visit."

"I finally stopped by and I'm so glad I did! I've now got the confidence to do it again to steal a few minutes of Japanese hospitality and tranquillity. Delicious onigiri that you can tell was made with love. Staff that are kind and unassuming. Just far enough up the street that the traffic noise isn't obtrusive. I had the teriyaki chicken and it was a great rice to filling ratio."

"Bento box is incredible, served in a beautiful ceramic box. Super flavourful, the pickles were delicious and everything felt thoughtful and tied together well. Will definitely be back to try to onigiri flavours"

"Beef curry was a good size portion for lunch accompanied with rice and fermented vegetables, I prefer pickle in liquid rather than dry, however overall tasty dish. Tofu bento was tasty and fresh. Matcha tea nicely done, $60 for two. Sitting at the window gives you all the sights of the interesting people of Melbourne"
