Oyatsu Eats

Owner was very friendly and welcoming. Very attentive and helpful. Even helped watch and play with our son while we eat. The pudding was very good. I had there and took one home. Price is reasonable.

The onigiri and soup were delicious! I think we tried almost all of the flavours and they were all delicious. The ingredients were so fresh and the onigiri were very flavourful and seasoned perfectly. We bought a few more to go. The owner is so kind, personable and welcoming. We were so happy to finally visit and will definitely be back again!

Amazing onigiri spot! Portions are generous with a lot of filling. Rice is moist even if you eat it a couple days after. My favourite is pork floss, followed by spicy tuna mayo. I keep wanting to try more flavors but it’s hard to pass up the favs. Also a great deal as they have combos that come with a drink or miso soup. You can tell they make it fresh everyday because when they sell out that day, they’re gone. I went on a weekday morning and it was the most stocked I’ve seen. Weekend evenings they start to sell out the more popular flavors. To top it all off, the owner is incredibly sweet. I’ve gone multiple times over the past year or so and he’s always so nice and friendly. He takes his time going over the flavors and recommendations. If you’re taking a stroll on main st, I definitely reccomend grabbing a couple to eat on your walk or for home.

Hidden gem in Newmarket. This restaurant is 1000% worth the hype and it's 5 star rating. The onigiris are so fresh, delicious and packed with filling. The desserts are incredible as well! We tried the mousse cake and the owner generously gave us a complimentary slice of pudding.... Omggggg both were SO delicious! I could eat a tub of the pudding! The owner Thomas was so kind and welcoming and stopped by our table multiple times to ensure we were enjoying the food. It was also so nice to genuinely connect with a local business owner and learn about their business' story. A+++ service and food. Thank you Thomas!! We will definitely be back

What a hidden gem right in Newmarket! First time trying on Oyatsu Eats on Msin Street, Newmarket and the owner was so friendly! As soon as you walk through the door, you are greeted by a kind and polite owner welcoming you. He explained the different kind of onigiri thoroughly, he even showed us how to open each one (with their fancy wrapper that makes sure the seaweed stays crisp) and gave that to us to try (complimentary). He made this good eating experience into a great one! They have many onigiri (rice balls) flavours and the onigiris are affordable at $3-5. Eating 1-2 for lunch and 2-3 for dinner makes you feel satisfied. The yuzu cake (Japanese cake) is refreshing and delicious. The purin dessert is an absolute must try! It resembles what we (latinos) call Flan pudding. It is silky and creamy, which is one of my favourtie desserts in life. So yummy The service was great and friendly. The decor is very relaxing. Don’t leave newmarket without trying Oyatsu place. We will definitely come back! Parking lot behind the community center is free and close by.

Had the absolute pleasure of visiting this specialty onigiri cafe! The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable, so please don’t hesitate to ask questions! They offer combos with miso soup and a variety of Japanese drinks. Everything is fresh and delicious! Will definitely keep coming back to try more flavours. They even have a great selection of desserts for after your meal. Tried their smoked salmon, tobiko, spicy tuna, and unagi onigiri. (Flavours vary throughout the day!) For dessert, we tried their Purin pudding, fresh mochi, and a slice of Yuzu cake. Even brought home one of each kind (wasabi and sriracha) of their spicy peas snacks. Can’t wait to visit again!

Tried this Japanese onigiri spot today and it was amazing! The owner was super friendly and took the time to explain all the different flavors — really patient and kind. I went with the Bonito and Shiitake Mushroom onigiri, and wow, they were delicious! So flavorful and the rice and seaweed were perfectly balanced. You can tell everything’s made fresh with care. I also got their Purin (Japanese pudding) for dessert — it was super soft, creamy, and not too sweet. Just perfect! Definitely coming back to try more flavors next time
