Though it may sound like a generic antidepressant or a computer operating system, Oms/b is actually a Midtown East cafe with some of the best rice balls in town.
FULL REVIEW
Oms/b is a small Japanese fast food shop that sells rice balls. It's relatively inexpensive, fast and cheap to purchase a set meal and it's a good option under $10.
FULL REVIEW
I don’t think I have to say it- but there are very few destination restaurants for lunch in Midtown. You know what I’m talking about… the place you can recommend wholeheartedly, without any concern for how far the person will have to travel to eat the meal your endorsing.
FULL REVIEW
A little place in midtown, specializing in gourmet onigiri. Very pretty offerings, a little on the pricey side. Nice when you want to treat yourself, although it has to be said that regular $1.00 onigiri at Yagura or Jasmart are just as tasty. (Although not as decorative!)
FULL REVIEW
Omusubi, or Japanese rice balls stuffed with various fillings, are the perfect picnic food. They're much more portable than sandwiches, since the fillings are tightly packed inside the rice. The rice also protects the perishable fillings against the heat. Usually, omusubi are filled with salmon, tuna, cod roe, or salty plum paste. However, a Manhattan cafe, Oms/b, offers a Baskin-Robbins-like menu of omusubi flavors. Bored of salmon flakes? Try the chili mayo-coated fried shrimp popcorn on chive rice. Tired of tuna? Maybe you should order the marinated ribs on lettuce-wrapped rice, or the buttery sauteed scallops and asparagus on peppered rice with spinach.
