About Mogu Mogu Onigiri Community - Surry Hills

Mogu Mogu elevates the classic Japanese rice ball in Surry Hills with warm Hokkaido grains and blowtorched toppings. Patrons stop by for quick weekday lunches or stock up on portable triangular snacks for the morning commute. The counter turns out made-to-order creations—like aburi salmon and rich wagyu beef—alongside grab-and-go staples packed with tuna mayo or yuzu pork belly. Pair one with a balanced iced matcha or hojicha latte, whisked smooth without heavy sweetness.

  • Made-to-Order & Grab-and-Go: Hot, made-to-order rice balls like aburi salmon and blowtorched wagyu sit beside portable cold-case classics.
  • Matcha & Hojicha Teas: Specialty Japanese iced matcha and roasted hojicha drinks brewed without cloying sweetness.
  • Speedy Lunches & Takeaway: Compact comfort food engineered for fast Surry Hills lunch breaks and take-home morning breakfasts.

    Gourmet creations like Sukiyaki M9 Wagyu and flaming truffle onigiri deliver standout Japanese flavors.

  • Authentic Matcha and Specialty Tea Pairings

    Authentic Japanese specialty drinks like whisked matcha and hojicha lattes offer rich, balanced refreshment alongside savory onigiri.

    The matcha was really yummy & very authentic, it had a strong matcha flavour and wasn’t too sweet or bitter- the perfect balance!
