" Finally got to try Rice & Nori, and it was everything I hoped for and more! The variety of onigiri available is amazing. I tried the spicy tuna and was blown away by the flavor profile. They're not shy with their fillings, which I genuinely appreciate. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I discovered Rice & Nori during our last trip to Little Tokyo and we absolutely loved it! We tried multiple flavors and each one had its unique flavor profile. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy. The only con was the wait time, but for fresh onigiri, it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors of the onigiri were spot on! Every bite was full of freshness and great seasoning. I visited this place multiple times and it proved to be my go-to for a quick meal. Nothing fancy, but simple, delicious, and authentic – just the way I like it! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great place to find authentic onigiri! Each piece is crafted with high-quality ingredients and packed with flavor. I visited on a quiet afternoon, and the staff were attentive. The only downside was the limited seating, but that’s a small price to pay for such delicious food. I adored the spicy tuna onigiri! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an amazing lunch here! The onigiri was delicious with such amazing fillings, and the service was commendable. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic onigiri in a casual setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes coming here, but while the food was good, I expected something more. The authenticity in flavor was there, and my onigiri was decent. However, I found the rice not as sticky as I anticipated, which made it hard to enjoy. A cute place nonetheless; just might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)
