Uno Onigiri, Pererenan

Hey there! So, I recently checked out this awesome Japanese restaurant called Onigiri by Uno, located at Jl Munduk Kedungu No 29, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Bali. Let me tell you, it was a delightful experience! The food gets a solid 5.0/5.0, and the service is just as stellar with another 5.0/5.0. The atmosphere is pretty chill too, scoring a 4.8/5.0. They offer takeout service, which is perfect for a quick lunch, and the prices are super reasonable, ranging from Rp50,000-75,000 per person.

I ordered a few dishes like Tuna Mayo, Kimchi Fried Rice, and Shrimp Avocado, and honestly, everything was delicious! One reviewer mentioned, “The food was worth 5 Stars yumminess but I gave only 4 because of the plastic amount of packaging – I wonder if there is maybe a more sustainable way of packing it for example with banana leaves to keep the island clean and make your future better.” I totally get that! The Kimchi Fried Rice was a bit messy right out of the box, but the chicken karaage was super tasty!

It was my first time trying freshly made onigiri, and it was sooo good! The flavors were spot on, and the rice was perfect. Another reviewer suggested, “Only improvement idea would be to replace the plastic wrapped around the onigiris by something more sustainable (which is quite complicated I guess).” Definitely something to think about!

Other guests had some great things to say too! One person said, “Some of the freshest, tastiest onigiri I’ve ever had. The salmon poke was full of flavor and the favorite of the ones I tried. Will be back! I just wish there was indoor seating, although the sunset view outdoors was lovely.” And I totally agree, the outdoor seating with a sunset view is a vibe!

Another review read, “The best blind buy for lunch! Me and my friends ordered tuna poke, karaage, spicy soboro, and ebi furai. And ebi furai was definitely my favorite! We got bonuses as well because we had to wait a little bit longer since the driver apps canceled, what a nice gesture! Will be ordering again, that’s for sure.” How cool is that?

Overall, Onigiri by Uno is a gem! Delicious onigiri in a beautiful space, super fast service, and affordable prices. I can’t wait to try all their creative and traditional flavors! Plus, the pleasant gentleman at the counter gave outstanding service, and I even got a complimentary cup of tea, which was just what I needed on a hot day!

I’ll definitely be coming back to this place whenever I’m in Bali. Highly recommend it!

The moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by the warm smiles of the staff, who were eager to guide me through the menu filled with a delightful array of flavors.

As I took my first bite of the onigiri, I was overwhelmed by the authentic taste that danced on my palate. The generous fillings were a testament to the care put into each creation. One reviewer perfectly captured this sentiment: “I just stopped to eat one and I ended up eating 4!” It’s hard to resist the allure of such deliciousness, especially when the flavors are so perfectly balanced. My personal favorites were the salmon ikura and tuna mayo, which truly stood out as the best onigiri I’ve ever had!

The ambiance of the restaurant is equally enchanting. The clean and well-maintained space, paired with the pleasant gentleman at the counter who provided outstanding service, made my experience even more enjoyable.

The creativity in their traditional flavors is something I can’t wait to explore further. One customer expressed it perfectly: “Delicious onigiri in a beautiful space. Very fast and affordable. Can’t wait to try all their creative and traditional flavors!”

While the flavors were perfect, I did notice a suggestion for improvement regarding the plastic wrapping around the onigiri. It’s a small detail, but one that reflects a growing awareness of sustainability in dining. However, this minor point did not overshadow the overall experience.
