Reviewers describe Onigiri Shop as a go-to for generous, flavorful onigiri that can double as a quick, satisfying meal, with rice seasoned to perfection, crisp nori, and a wide range of fillings from classic salmon and tuna to adventurous specials like avocado-salmon fusion and Fuji Mountain. The portions are repeatedly praised for being large, making one or two pieces enough for a meal, and the variety keeps guests coming back weekly. The setting is noted as clean, simple, and welcoming, with friendly staff and a convenient grab-and-go vibe; seating is limited, making it ideal for takeout or small groups. Value is generally seen as good, with combo options that include drinks or mini ramen, though a few reviews mention pricing on the higher side for some chef's specials and some inconsistency in filling intensity or nori crispness. Overall, Onigiri Shop comes across as a strong option for onigiri lovers, earning frequent return visits and strong recommendations for quality, variety, and service, even as a minority note occasional miso soup bland or rice-heavy fillings.
Been coming here once a week for almost a year. Staffs always welcome you with a smile & service is great. I find that the onigiris have a good ratio of rice & stuffing (I've tried them all - not pictured, but my fave is the unagi, mayo chicken & Mount Fuji). The also have nice summer drinks (the dalgona matcha is refreshing).My kids always ask for onigiris from this location so they can bring it to school as their lunches. I finally tried the oniDON with salmon & tempura shrimp, & it was delicious. The sesame sauce that comes with the oniDon was nice & light. Would order again!

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.
We got the combo with 2 classic onigiris & a drink for 14.99$. The drink was a bit too sweet & didn't taste much like matcha. The onigiris were ok but the nori got kind kf soggy & the stuffing lacked a bit of flavor.
Price is decent. The service is very friendly. But the shop has limited table, so it is better to for small group or take out. The onigiri (the rice balls) have many varieties. It also come with combo with drink, mini ramen (or salad) & a dessert ( yuzu cheese cake). The mini ramen is decent. Yuzu cheesecake is pretty good. For the rice balls, the rice is chewy & tasty, which is excellent. The filling (fried chicken, tuna, & salmon) are well seasoned. If the seaweed can be a bit more crispy, it is be excellent ( but it is still good). It is much better than the rice balls you bought from most Asian supermarket. I definitely will come back for more.
This is a good spot to eat if you want something small but filling at a reasonably priced. If you like sushi, you'll enjoy this. I tried the raw Salmon onigiri, & it was of good quality in my opinion. I also had a matcha-coco drink & liked it. I wish the place great success!
We were so excited to finally have onigiri & were not disappointed. Lots of choices & we enjoyed all four of the ones we took home. Can't wait to try more! They also had a lemonade drink that was delicious & refreshing! This will be a new favourite spot for us.

I really love this place & I am happy to found it at Brossard 😍 the only recommendation would be that the korean fried chicken onigiri was a little dry. Adding some extra sauce would fix that issue, but apart of that the food is amazing & the drinks too!
Great onigiris overall! Service could use improvement (kitchen workers looked confused at times) but this is to be expected since the shop just opened.
A few observations:
- None of the workers handling food wore a hairnet
- Coordination could use some work. Finished my onigiris but never got my drink - woulda been great to enjoy both together. When I asked the counter if I could get my drink to go instead, it seems like they had actually forgotten about it. They apologized & the drink was super good despite waiting so long for it.
Planning to give this shop another try, & willing to review my rating accordingly!
