In June, we learned that Bay Area-based Japanese gourmet rice balls (aka onigiri) restaurant ONIGILLY would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek with an expected August opening, but obviously that’s not happened yet. The “Coming Soon” signage is now up, so hopefully it’ll open this year. Check out their menu here.
