Onigiri Time’s Bold Sushi Twist | Los Angeles News

Tony Choe’s Onigiri Time in Pasadena is serving up giant, flavor-packed onigiri stuffed with spicy tuna, Spam, and blue crab—plus a dangerously addictive dat dank wasabi cream sauce. Mixing white and purple rice (a nod to his Korean roots), he ditched hand rolls for onigiri because they’re better for takeout. While purists say it’s not traditional, Tony’s bold twist has turned his cart into a viral sensation. After his Temaki Time pop-up blew up, he launched Onigiri Time in January—and now’s planning a Westside cart and full Eagle Rock restaurant. With rotating monthly specials and even selling the sauce by the bottle, this isn’t just food—it’s a whole vibe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
