Across reviews, Onigiri Shop is praised for good value and a wide variety of onigiri that are fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, with favorites like unagi, avocado salmon fusion, and a chef's special such as Fuji Mountain; the atmosphere is clean, quiet, and inviting, and service tends to be friendly and efficient, making it a reliable spot for takeout or a quick sit down. Many note that the mini ramen and drinks like matcha yuzu complete the experience, while others enjoy the variety of toppings and the ability to try multiple flavors in one visit. Some comments mention that prices can feel a bit high for the portion, and a few menu items fall short such as bland miso soup, soggy nori, or fillings that could be stronger; still, overall quality, freshness, and generous filling are repeatedly highlighted across locations. Seating is limited, but the shop remains popular for small groups or solo diners looking for satisfying, well made onigiri with consistent cleanliness and a welcoming vibe.
If you're looking for the perfect quick bite that actually leaves you full, look no further. I recently stopped by Onigiri Shop, & it's easily become my new favorite spot, & before you know it, it's been six months I've been returning weekly! Most onigiri spots give you a tiny snack, but these are impressively large. One or two are enough for a full, satisfying meal. They definitely don't skimp on the fillings!
It's situated in a great location, making it super convenient to swing by whether you're commuting, shopping, or just exploring the area. It's the ideal'grab-&-go' destination that doesn't sacrifice quality.
The rice is seasoned to perfection, the seaweed is crisp, & the variety of flavors is fantastic. Whether you're a traditionalist or looking for something adventurous, this place nails it.

Great onigiri spot!
Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked rice, & really well-balanced flavors. You can tell everything is made with care. The staff is friendly & the atmosphere is simple & welcoming.
Came to this restaurant when I was in Montreal based on a friend's referral. Everything from service to quality to cleanliness was bang on. I live in Toronto where Onigiri restaurants are very popular, this place is by far one of the best. Highly recommended!
J'avais un craving de onigiri & quand j'ai vue qu'il y a un qui venais ouvrir a coter de chez nous j'étais 🤯, fallais que j'essaye ! C'étais excellent! C'est sur je retournerais
We ordered one of each type-classic, fusion, & the chef's special-because restraint is overrated when onigiri is involved.
The unagi was savory & delicious. The avocado-salmon fusion felt bright & modern. & then came the'Fuji Mountain' from the chef's specials: a glorious, beautifully assembled, cheese-crowned delight that looked as good as it tasted.
Be warned: these little triangles are deceptively filling. A single one can carry you through a lunch break, fuel a small bite on the go, or satisfy that late-night craving after a night out. Honestly, onigiri should replace pizza as the official reward for helping someone move-much easier to hold, far more dignified, & arguably more delicious.
Just when we thought we'd reached peak comfort, the mini ramen made its appearance.'Mini' in size only-but it hit the spot. We tried the spicy version (but there are other options, too). To complete the experience, we sipped on a refreshing matcha-yuzu drink, a perfect blend of earthy & citrus.
Whether you're hungry, hurried, or simply hunting for something satisfying, this is a place worth visiting-again & again.

Super endroit! Les onigiris sont excellents, le service est impeccable & l'ambiance est top. C'est beau, propre, tranquille, avec une petite musique d'ambiance.
Attention : risque de devenir accro 😅 C'est tellement bon!
Great place! The onigiri are excellent, the service is impeccable, & the atmosphere is amazing. It's clean, beautiful, quiet, with soft background music.
ATTENTION: YOU MIGHT GET ADDICTED 😅 It's just so good!
Good portion of food for the price you pay even if they are a bit pricey. I really like the combos that they have & the different toppings of onigiri give each one their unique mouth feel that is satisfying to chew on.
Les meilleurs onigiri en terme de qualité, quantité, & rapport qualité-prix! Je recommande particulièrement le saumon-avocat & crevette tempura, les deux sont excellents!
