Yokai Musubi
2190 W Burnside St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Yokai Musubi is a beloved Hawaiian-Japanese spot where the onigiri and musubi are the real stars, consistently praised for tasting authentically like what you'd find in Japan or Hawaii rather than watered-down versions. The team here is patient and genuinely friendly, taking time to help you explore their full range of offerings without rushing you out the door, which pairs perfectly with their affordable prices and family-friendly vibe. Whether you're grabbing a quick musubi or settling in with their specialty drinks and pastries, this is where Portland goes when craving that honest, homemade quality that locals actually crave.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

This is where I'll be getting my future musubi and onigiri fix. Their ume onigiri is delicious and packed and not as stingy as what you get in Hawaii. Price-wise, it's very affordable and they make great walking and picnic snacks when you want to enjoy one of many of parks…
Food- This was my first time trying onigiri and I will say it was alright. The spicy tuna isn't spicy at all. Not even a hint 😭. The rice is cold which is normal. But id rate it a solid 6/10. But the "Taiyaki" on the other hand was absolutely delicious. They serve it fresh and…
