Cozy Japanese spot for onigiri, ochazuke, and comfort-y udon/donburi with big portions and frequent waits; quality is generally good but inconsistent, service can lag, and value feels fair-to-mixed.
Onibaba by Tsukushinbo excels with strong food quality—particularly exceptional saba shio and comforting curry udon—and earns loyalty through devoted regulars who return for ochazuke. However, quality varies noticeably across visits, with occasional issues like lukewarm rice and thin curry, while the cramped 20-seat space and frequent waits limit appeal beyond dedicated fans. This delivers reliable comfort dining competitive with respected neighborhood favorites, though operational constraints and inconsistency prevent it from reaching higher-tier standing.
One caveat: Rice texture/temperature on onigiri can be uneven across visits
