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.
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.
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.

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.
The place is nice & clean, the service is good. But too bad the food is so dissapointing, the miso soup is bland, the onigiri is too much rice & lack of filling. The filling itself needs more stronger taste.
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!
Tried it for the 1st time today. Did not like it personally. Good if you like a lot of rice. The fillings were lacking in flavour. I took the raw spicy tuna. The tuna had no flavour or spicing.
