Nestled within Mills Market, and also co-founded by Chef William Shen, UniGirl specializes in onigiri, featuring a menu that changes daily to keep things fresh and intriguing. From mouthwatering fried chicken thigh to luscious barbecue eel (unagi), every bite is something to celebrate. Get ready to experience rice balls like never before!
Ômo by Jônt: Hospitality and Flavors Combined
