This is a super cute Japanese place to stop by for lunch. The onigiris were yummy and the prices are not terrible. I feel like in terms of onigiri, I'm not an expert. I'm happy as long as it's fresh. I love the little seating area they have outside. It really makes me feel like I'm back in Japan. For the onigiri, I highly recommend the curry chicken one! That one is the best :3

My review is a bit skewed due to door dash :) I ordered a $20 lunch box that included 2 onigiri, 1 specialty item (I picked chicken karaage), 1 veggie side (daikon), and I think pickled plum. I'm not sure that I know quite how to eat this but what worked for me is taking a bit of each "side" with each onigiri bite! We got the spicy salmon onigiri and I don't know what I expected with "cured salmon." It was flaky, flavorful and the seaweed was still so crispy! The chicken karaage was seasoned well and had a thin layer of fried coating. I haven't been inside the place yet, but am hoping to visit in person sometime. They made the food a lot quicker than originally expected for door dash, which I think is solid!

Love this place! The service, the vibe, and most importantly the food! I've had a lot of musubis in my life. But sunny blue has the best hands down! Favorite was the miso beef! So good! Must try!

This is a cute place. The staff was friendly. The inside is a little small but they had a nice bit of shaded seating outside. We found street parking with a meter.The food was ok. I had never had omusubi, and I'd watched a YouTube video of some people who came here and they compared it to sushi hand rolls. I can sort of see that, but they were really mostly rice. I got a tuna mayo roll and was disappointed to see they used tuna from a can. My husband got the spicy tuna and it was also from a can. The sides in the bento box were fine, but nothing notable. All in all, a pleasant lunch but not a place I would seek out.

I am in a deeply devoted relationship with the food here at Sunny Blue. I recommend this place to all of my friends and I go at least once a month. I've yet to find better omusubi/onigiri in LA. This visit, we got the tuna mayo (a personal favorite of mine), miso chili eggplant, spicy salmon, and miso mushroom. Every single one of these was excellent! The place is quite small but it has a good amount of outdoor seating and you can always find street parking nearby. A must visit if you like this type of food!

Need to come back because my review is only for the boba tea which was a special on Spooky Saturday. Sweet place with Halloween treats for the kids on trick or treating day. Kids were stoked to get a boba (they actually chose that over ice cream!) and I was told it isn't too sweet. Fun little patio side seating with plenty of atmosphere.

I love a good onigiri/musubi from time to time, and I was curious in trying out Sunny Blue. It's a small store located off a busy, main street, and it appears it's metered parking only. I ordered a spicy salmon, miso beef, and miso mushroom, and the total came out to $16. There's one table inside and a few seats out on the patio (although there's not much shade if you come for lunch, so be warned)!The verdict:- Spicy salmon (5/5): creamy and the salmon wasn't too dry. I could taste the spicy kick and overall, a solid one.- Miso beef (5/5): tender beef, similar texture to Korean bulgogi, and the subtle, earthy miso taste. Another good one!- Miso mushroom (3/5): meh, could've skipped this one or gotten something else. Not bad, but the mushrooms were bland despite the miso flavor, and nothing really to write home about.Overall, tasty onigiri with good-quality ingredients. However, they are on the small side and $5 a piece, so they're more of a snack than a meal. Glad I tried them, though, and I certainly satisfied my onigiri cravings!

Absolutely loved this spot. Small shop in Culver City, only one table inside and a cute little patio outside as well. Order at the counter with kind customer service. They'll make your food to order and have a large, extensive menu.The onigiris are pricey, but not much pricier than other LA shops, and they're delicious. I love their seasoning so much.

Got the miso beef, mentaiko and musubi. The onigiris were not bad, as there were good amount of fillings. The -2 stars comes from the nori (seaweed). I'm not sure if its on purpose, but the nori is very thin and does not taste like anything. I think nori is an integral part of onigiri, so this was very disappointing. The musubi was also underwhelming. I wasn't a fan of the furikake on it and spam was bland. If you had good onigiris and musubis, might reconsider.
