Abokichi

It might be small, but this place is your quintessential arisanal eatery, serving sandwiches, salads and Japanese rice balls. What an eclectic menu!
I highly recommend ordering The Huron (pulled pork and coleslaw sandwich) and the Spinach salad (which features baby spinach, candied pecans and dried cranberries) together — the sweetness of the pecans perfectly complements the savory pulled pork.
Random remark: I’m not a fan of their new logo but that’s beside the point.

We visited them yesterday and loved it. It’s a no frills eatery with good food at very reasonable prices. We tried 3 different types of onigiri (triangular shaped rice balls with stuffing inside); Italiano, Soboro, Chilli+kelp. We also tried their spinach Salad and Moroccan mint iced tea. Everything was great. We’ll definitely return. Highly recommended.

I am a fan of «The Dupont». It’s always good. The owners are lovely people. Consistently satisfying food.

I went there for the first time today and tried their roasted sweet potato sandwich in a whole wheat tortilla. Sooo Yummy! I’ve never had anything like it before but it was super delicious.

AWESOME, just awesome. Onigiri is basically Japanese rice balls that usually have filling (anything you want really!) inside. It’s perfect for snack, or bento or picnics. It happens to be one of my favorite simple foods to make for fun. You can find a mold made of magnolia wood to assist you in making these super cool rice balls! This joint is fairly new, incredibly close to Dupont station and is a smallish establishment. It has only 2 tables on the inside and 2 tables on the outside.
Now! Let’s talk about the actual onigiri. I went on a Sunday with my boyfriend so unfortunately there were only 2 flavors/​types of rice balls. BUT! We got the best kinds, the most popular two flavors which was gomuku and kelp + chili. My preference was the kelp and chili while my boyfriend’s was the gomuku which is more meaty. The kelp and chili I believe is the vegan version. Both are light, healthy, and delicious. It’s really a cute place and worth visiting if you are in that area! The lady that owns the joint was so sweet and informative for my curiosity about the business. Really cool spot, rustic ambiance, close to TTC, go visit. go go go!
