Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went there first thing after our flight, there was no place to sit and eat which was disappointing, the service was nice, but the food was mid at best.

Great onigiris! The miso soup is amazing as well. Simple, excellent, cheap. Best value for money if you’re looking for a healthy take away lunch or a quick snack.

We've been here several times, and we'll keep coming here whenever we're in the neighbourhood. The owner is very friendly, and more importantly, very good at making delicious Onigiri. I'd advice everyone who likes rice to at least try this once. If you're not sure...which onigiri is what, just ask for the (English) translation of the names. Too good to pass up!More

I was a bit sceptical about this place since they only serve rice balls but I decided to go because of the good reviews. Onigiri Ya! is a rather small shop and doesn’t look very glitzy on the outside. However, their selection of Onigiri did...not disappoint. I tried the tuna mayo, karaage, miso chicken and “Devil” Onigiri. The staff were very friendly and when I asked what was in the “Devil” Onigiri they told me it’s devilish because when you taste it, you won’t stop eating. They were right about that! I can recommend all Onigiri, especially the “Devil” which contains furikake and tempura bits. Devilishly good indeed!More

One of my favorite places to eat in Amsterdam! The onigiri is always fresh and delicious, and the owner is a lovely person! Very cheap and quick to eat on the go, but I also like to sit down and eat, maybe have some miso...soup. My favorites are the smoked salmon and unagi onigiri but I've literally never had one that I didn't like!More

Lovely onigiri for a quick snack on the go, and the miso is tasteful and really hits the spot! Also like the new sweets and treats, and that you can buy most of the ingredients to make your own onigiri at home :)
