Went to chum chum onigiri for a snack. The onigiri was not as good as it was at their old location. Rice was dry,meat was sparse, the whole thing basically crumbled as you ate it. Chicken katsu onigiri wasn’t even chicken katsu, just some cooked chicken. New location is cute, but the onigiri isn’t worth the price ($5.25).

Edit:

Chao tian fu next to sushi king on broad street is great. They just opened and do hot pot and dry pot (by the pound?). Idk they have fixed menu sets but when I went, they charged by the pound, max of $18.99 I think. I think lunch is cheaper than dinner.

Only other place I’ve had dry pot around here is at cheng du, and this is just as good; can choose your own ingredients and spice level. 1 bowl of rice per dry pot. They charge for water because they only have bottles $1.50.

I so dearly miss O!nigiri when it was around the corner. Chum Chum has onigiri but it’s never been the best. :(

It’s worth a try because it’s the only thing around here. Just know there is better. Probably somewhere in northern Virginia
