Do-Re-Mi is a counter-service spot near Dolores Park built around onigiri made to order rather than pre-wrapped and sitting in a case. That means the rice balls come out warm if eaten at one of the window-side stools, and hold up well if taken to go, which is how most people eat them. Rice bowls round out the menu, piled high with toppings like Taiwanese minced pork or a teriyaki chicken in a gravy-like sauce.
Because most orders leave the building, seating by the window is usually easy to find for anyone sticking around for a scoop of lychee ice cream to finish. Combo deals, including a buy-four-get-one-free on onigiri, are part of the draw. Regulars treat it as a neighborhood fixture, prized for friendly counter service and a cute, low-key room.
