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.
Great affordable lunch with quality ingredients. Especially loved the flavor of the nori - it was clear they didn't skip out on quality. Good variety, & everyone in my family was happy with it.

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!
Very good experience & the food is delicious for a good price! I've been already 2 times there & the workers smile to you, explain how it works, don't disturb you, very clean very cosy, one onigiri is already enough to get you filled personally took the raw spicy salmon & loved it, the tempura were delicious also & tried the cheesecake that was very good, & the thing that you don't see often in those stores is that there's not a lot of people, so no much time to wait for food, no weird people staring at you or screaming etc.
Ce n'était pas indiqué qu'il y avait de la mayo dans ceux au saumon, avoir su je ne l'aurais pas acheté ou demandé sans. Celui au boeuf c'était bien & sans mayo.
Saw an ad on facebook that a new onigiri shop is coming to brossard & wanted to give it a try as Satoshi (chef from Yasu) was also on the ad. Ordered 4 onigiri & 1 mini ramen. As an asian who travelled to Japan many times in the past, these onigiris are nothing compared to those in Japan not even close to the ones in 7Eleven or Lawson. The rice for some reasons taste bad. The texture is weird. Sauce & meat aren't good. I would say this shop is more to target non asian customers. Very disappointing. The ramen is surprisingly very good. I would stick to Yasu which is just across the street.
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.
Amazing food … & Excellent quality of ingredients with lots of variety …
Staff was very nice & friendly …
All around fantastic taste , fun environment & great vibe …
It's definitely a must try place .
Will definitely go back .
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.

Visited Montreal recently & tried this new place based on friends recommendations. It did not disappoint. Food, environment, service on point. We're food junkies & this one is highly recommended 👌
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!
