So happy to find onigiri outside of Markham at an amazing value. So many fun flavors to try from and they are stuffed with filling. Especially compared to the ones I’ve had at h-mart or even made at home. Owner was so nice explaining all the flavors and popularity. The rice and filling is so fresh and flavorful. Definitely a hidden gem in new market.

A hidden gem in Newmarket! This Japanese onigiri spot offers a great variety of options, including a few vegetarian choices. I tried the shiitake mushroom onigiri, and it was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I can’t wait to come back and try the miso egg onigiri next time. Also, don’t miss their egg pudding—it’s absolutely bomb! The caramel sauce on top pairs perfectly with the creamy, custardy base. Highly recommend!

Most amazing unique gem in Newmarket. Cute Mom, Pop and kiddos store with super affordable prices with good quality ingredients. Made us feel homey and welcome the whole time :) Try all sorts of japanese desserts and Onigiris. Thomas was the best with his wife working like a machine in the back. Will definitely come again!

Had the opportunity to try this today, and we were not disappointed! The food is really fresh and has lots of flavors. We tried 1 of each kind, but my favorite was spicy tuna. The soup has a nice taste, and all the desserts were great!

We were in the area and decided to give it a try after seeing it was all 5 stars. Let me tell you, this spot doesn’t disappoint. We had the chicken curry, the tako, the wakame and the bonito. All of them delicious. Also, the staff/owners are super, super nice. This is a great spot to drop by if you are hungry and don’t have a lot of time. The prices as well are super reasonable. I will certainly be recommending this spot 😊.

Ever since I stumbled upon this place for onigiris I have been in love with them. There’s lots of options available and my personal favourites was the miso egg, shiitake mushrooms, bonito flakes, omurice and spam and egg. To be honest each and every onigiri are stuffed with toppings where you won’t be just eating steam rice. The service was super as always. Super friendly staffs. The environment very clean and pleasant. Also tried the cookies and purin. All very delicious fresh, everything not extensively sweet. Make sure you go early if you would like more option choices for onigiris. The more popular onigiris will be sold out fast.

The food is great! The custard putting was amazing - very authentic, and taste as good as the real ones in Japan! The owner was very nice and insisted on us trying new menu items. Ambience is nice and price point is very affordable. The onigiris were great as well. 10/10 - come support this new business and try some great food!

We had lunch at Oyatsu Eats today and it exceeded our expectations. We tried 5 different flavours, the canned coffees, the dessert and miso soup. I was worried that the rice wouldn t add any value to the meal and would feel more like filler but it was executed perfectly. The spicy tuna was my favourite but my partner loved the spam and egg (the kimchi and the crab were also very good).The canned coffees are also excellent and not overly sweet. You can honestly tell that these are owners who put a lot of heart into their food, business and customers. We thoroughly enjoyed the customer service as the owner was extremely kind, courteous and generous. We loved the experience so much we took extra home for family. Thank you again and we look forward to returning soon!

Came here Friday night during the Newmarket Frozen Festival. We were originally looking for a quick snack but decided to dine in to warm up and were so glad we did! We ordered three onigiri that were toddler-friendly (kani & tobiko, curry chicken, and tuna). To our surprise, our little one dug right in and almost ate a whole one! That s always a great sign of delicious food. Everything was incredibly fresh the crispy seaweed, soft rice, and flavorful fillings all stood out. It was so good that we had to get more to go, eventually trying every flavor available. Each onigiri was generously filled and perfectly seasoned. The owner, Thomas, kindly gave us a pudding to try, and it was a game-changer so jiggly, smooth, and delicious. We d honestly come back just for dessert. Out of all the flavors, our favorites were the curry chicken, shiitake mushroom, and tuna. They also have a rotating menu of flavors, so we can t wait to try something new the next time we re in the area. Don t sleep on this onigiri spot it s a gem!

Very warm welcome as soon as we walked in the door, the gentleman serving us was so hospitable and gave us a complimentary miso soup (on top of the one we got free for ordering 3 onigiri) AND a slice of cheesecake.

We visited Oyatsu for the first time with friends and we were pleased with the onigiri which was fresh and tasty. What stood out was the service - so kind and helpful, since we weren t familiar with all the varieties available. We also sampled the miso soup, which was not too salty, and the cookies which our friend joked were not too sweet , in a good way! I had the Spam and egg, which was really tasty, and my husband enjoyed the curry chicken. There were many more I would ve liked to try as well. I liked that they explained that their children were the taste testers for the different flavours, very cute. We will definitely be back again and recommend everyone give them a try!

I came here with my girlfriend having never tried onigiri. The owner gave me a free onigiri and explained how to open the packaging it comes in. We each got two more and miso soups which he threw in for free and he even offered us cookies. All around one of the best experiences I ve had eating at a quaint place like this! The one with tobiko and imitation crab is delicious!

★★★★★

The couple that owns the place is so sweet! My parents raved about the place so I popped over with my boyfriend and they offered him a free onigiri to demonstrate how to unwrap the packaging - after we ate our onigiri (my favourite was the tuna mayo) he offered us cookies! Super sweet environment, will definitely be going again

Oyatsu eat is a must visit when you are visiting Newmarket. While most Japanese restaurants focuses on sushi and ramen, Oyatsu provides an extremely affordable way to get a taste of Japan Onigiri without the airfare or the parking nightmare. The service from Thomas is extremely courteous and on point. They also have a party tray service which will be the centerpiece of my next friends and family gathering. Their desserts are also extremely authentic. I cannot recommend this gem enough.

On the main strip in Newmarket, this gem is a must stop! We ordered 6 different flavours of onigiris, each with generous amount of filling. We got a free miso soup with every 3 onigiri purchase. The onigiris have pretty creative flavors from octopus to Japanese curry. We loved the spicy tuna mayo, bonito and curry, but all were very good. Don t miss out on the fruit sodas, very addictive. The interior is very spacious and clean and the staff were super friendly. Our kids can t wait to come back!

WOW! This place is AMAZING!!! I have never eaten something that is so good, each bite continued to surprise me. I had the Bonito and the Curry Chicken and Im not kidding, the food is So good that I was talking to it while I was eating it. It went like this. Bite taken, reading something, suddenly unable to resist looking at my food and humming, singing, talking outloud about how good it is, then taking another bite expecting to read, but nope, lost concentration due to deliciousness! Back to humming, talking to my food and myself and every family member about how delicious it is. Thomas was such a nice host when I went in with my 8 year old today. Hands Down amazing. Our family will be back.

Been there several times already, even though it is not run by Japanese, the onigiri here are always fresh and tasty. I love the grilled salmon! They give u miso soup if buying 3 onigiri, the only thing is the miso soup is very thin. All in all I will be a regular here! A side note, even though the price point is not comparable with those in Tokyo, it is a present surprise that I can have a quick dose of Japan here!! Happy! Oh also, the place is very very clean!

September 22, 2024

Filling in the onigiri is generous and the taste was better than pretty much anywhere else Ive had (including j-town). If youve been getting your onigiri at T&T you should probably try these for an upgrade at a very similar price. We particularly liked the crab and grilled salmon flavours, though noticed too late that the smoked salmon we bought comes with cream cheese (which isnt out cup of tea). The purin dessert was much much better than I expected, being similar visually to a typical flan, the flavour in this one was closer to a nice custard. Im not an expert on miso soup, but theirs seemed like it probably didnt come out of a box (or at least it was much more enjoyable than the overly salty stuff you get from most sushi places for free) Definitely going back. Hope other people like this place as much as we did so it sticks around! Parking: Limited street parking but a large lot within a couple minute walking distance Kid-friendliness: Seating with enough room in the restaurant for strollers Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level restaurant entrance with enough seating room around the tables for a wheelchair. Street parking (which is quite limited) makes for a pretty accessible trip, but if you need to use the larger nearby parking lot, know that while the lot is still close, the downhill slope between the two isnt insignificant if you have trouble with slopes and dont have assistance.

Im a BIG fan but of onigiri! I remember when I visited Japan, I would grab an onigiri from 7-Eleven every morning before my long days and they were so delicious! I was soooo thrilled to hear there is now a store that specializes in onigiri and the best part is they are made fresh in house daily! You will need to visit early as a lot of their popular flavours sell out quick! Buy 3 and get a free miso soup or pop! What we ordered: Onigiri price ranges between $3.99-$4.50! Spicy Tuna Mayo Kanikama and Tobiko Spam and egg - this was a close second to my fav! Bonito Spicy Miso Egg (was their daily special) - this was so flavourful and one of my favs! we got 1 of each flavour if the cookie and the matcha was def my fav! pudding is a must, had the perf texture and was super tasty! Im def coming back to try their octopus and grilled salmon as they were sold out when I got there! If youre in the area please go support their small business! The owners are so sweet and welcoming!

Oyatsu just opened their doors on Newmarket Main Street, what a great addition to this neighborhood. I love seeing this strip becoming more and more lively filled with great eats. They have a promotion right now, but 3 onigiris and get a free pop of miso soup. The onigiris cost $3.99 to $4.50 each. We bought 6 onigiris and I tried the spicy tuna mayo, bonito flakes and kanikama & tobiko. The rice was perfectly cooked with a hint of sweetness. The spicy mayo isnt too spicy or overpowering, blended perfectly with the sweetness of the rice. My personal favourite was the bonito flakes. I definitely want to try the others in the future. We also tried their pudding, matcha sponge cake and Japanese cheesecake. All were very tasty. The owners are very nice, a local couple. They demonstrated how to unwrap a onigiris to customers that never had.

I took my family to Oyatsu Eats on Newmarket Main Street on Sunday. Their triangular rice balls are simply the top of the rice ball world. The rice is soft and soft, and the fillings are full and delicious. They are completely different from the rice balls I ate in convenience stores when I was a kid. My mother loves their rice balls. The miso soup is delicious, the daughter is fragrant and smooth pudding powder, the light cheese cake is my wife s favorite, and the comfortable dining environment makes for a happy Sunday afternoon.

The next time you are on Main St and looking for a snack, you must try the newest addition on the street (just 3 days): Oyatsu Relaxing atmosphere Delicious snacks Superb customer service I tried the shiitake mushroom onigiri, and the pork floss with sesame dressing onigiri. Both were delicious! Then I had the purin (pudding/crème caramel); rich, velvety, creamy, not coyingly sweet, and just the right portion. Lastly, I tried one of the cookies and opted for ginger. Flavorful, and buttery almost melting in your mouth. Everything was fantastic. A must try! I know Ill be back again soon. Especially to try other onigiri flavours and to try the Japanese cheesecake. Truly a welcome addition to Main St!

There s plenty of seating and it s a clean, bright and comfortable place to eat. I m happy to have more variety of food available on Main St especially something that is more quick and cost effective vs the usual pub fare and it s always nice to support a local business as well Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian options including miso soup, and several flavours of onigiri.

If youve ever wanted to support local small businesses, this is one of the best ones to do it for. Small husband and wife onigiri shop with desserts and coffee. Simple clean decor with plenty of seating inside and parking at the rear and on the street. Food was fresh and delicious! They have about a dozen different types of onigiri, 4 types of cookies, and 2 other desserts (that I didnt have time to try but will during the next time I visit) I picked up 4 types of onigiri (spam and egg, pork floss, grilled salmon, and tako) and a package of cookies. The cookies have a shortbread type of texture with various flavours. All were amazing and packaged conveniently if youre on the go. Spoke with the owner who explained they make all their food fresh each morning, starting off with the onigiri, and then they bake the desserts. Very friendly, down to earth and hospitable. Prices are on par for this type of food. Even though its a bit of a drive, I will definitely come back to try their other foods, and to support this family.
