Poke, in motion
The OniGuru idea

Japan's everyday food, brought to OC.

Onigiri have been a Japanese staple for over a thousand years — rice, packed with something savory, wrapped in nori, eaten with your hands. We added a poke counter, planted three stores across Orange County, and called it OniGuru.

1

Hand-shaped daily

Onigiri pressed by hand every morning. Rice cooked to texture, nori kept crisp until you eat it.

2

Signature poke

Spicy Ahi, Classic Salmon, Hawaiian, or vegan Tofu Yuzu — four bowls already perfected.

3

Not sushi. Not raw.

Cooked, cured, or pickled fillings. Approachable Japanese — no rolls, no surprises, all flavor.

4

Made to travel

Wrapped to keep nori crisp. Built for desks, hikes, beach mornings, school pickups, road trips.

In the kitchen

Rice. Filling. Nori.

Three ingredients, one technique, a thousand years of practice. Every onigiri at OniGuru is pressed by hand — triangle, oval, or round — with the filling pressed inside, then wrapped in nori at the moment you order. That's why ours stays crisp.

Why OniGuru

Japanese, without the formality.

We built OniGuru so that getting a great Japanese lunch didn't have to mean a sushi reservation, a 30-minute wait, or wondering if it's raw. Hand-shaped rice, savory fillings, fresh poke. That's it.

01

Hand-shaped daily

Every onigiri pressed by hand each morning at the counter. Rice cooked to the right texture, fillings prepped fresh, nori added at the moment you order.

02

Fast-casual, faster

Onigiri are pre-shaped and ready to grab — typically under a minute. Poke and rice bowls take about five minutes. Order ahead and skip the line.

03

Real vegan options

Vegan onigiri (Veggie Mix), vegan poke (Tofu Yuzu), gluten-free flexibility, and kid-friendly portions. Not an afterthought — on the menu.
