Best Onigiri in Montreal, without a doubt. Affordable & delicious every time Nice small shop that offers a quality Onigiri experience with enough menu variety to please everyone.
The usual sushi fish type options seemed popular & they have a delicious Korean Friend Chicken & Miso Beef Onigiri Onigiri as well.View more

First, amazing quality rice. I've been experimenting with Toyama & Hokkaido, but this shop's rice mouthfeel is great! Higher quality than some shops in Japan. The filling is plentiful, & their combos are great. Miso beef was slightly salty, hearty, & had a lot of rice & beef. The egg yolk beef was also a wonderful combination. The salmon was hearty & bountiful. The seaweed is also not soggy. I would come again. Though they may not be all jp, they did a good job working on their recipes. Better than some smaller jp shops I've been :)View more

I had such a lovely experience at Onigiri Shop! We popped in around 1 PM on a Thursday, & it was pretty busy, but we managed to find a cozy spot at the bar for the four of us (two kids & two adults). It was perfect because the kids were completely captivated watching the staff make the onigiris! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, & I was so impressed with the prices - they're even cheaper than what you'd pay at the grocery store! The size & quality were top-notch. No wonder so many people were coming in for takeout! We ended up dining in but couldn't resist grabbing some to go because they were just that good. I can't recommend this place enough!View more

Great portions for cheap. The quality of the ingredients are also very good. The place itself is kind of small, but it's nicely decorated.View more

The quality of Japanese rice used is good. Rice & filling are both equally delicious & nice for lunch or dinner.View more

Lengthy review alert First, I started going to Onigiri shop pretty early on, I would say from January 14 as I saw it opened & was interested in trying it. I first went with friends & we each ordered a bunch of different onigiris to try as many flavors. We were blown away by how good it is (yes it is just rice & filling & seaweed technically) & had to get extra to share with other friends. But simple things are even harder to be delicious! The place is a little small, it cannot accommodate that many people, maybe 15-18 people to sit inside. They do share the space with the sushi store. I have since been almost weekly as it was always delicious & fresh. I guess this is a sign to just say that I have went there pretty often. Amongst all the times I have went I do need to precise that I have never gotten food poisoning, & neither have my friends & family. Contrary to that, they were also smitten by the onigiris. During the period where they weren't as busy, the owner had offered us tonjiru soup, as I kept asking every week but never had it, ultimately he did decide to remove it. (It was delicious) He was always super nice & welcoming, offering hot water (Very nice in cold weather) I will be adding pictures of all the onigiris I had eaten, some are discontinued. I have basically eaten all the old menu except the one with fried chicken (includes Kpop) Every onigiri is big & they do not skimp on the filling. I tend to go for at least 1 classic & 1 "fancy" one. 2 is enough for me & 3 honestly is overkill but I do enjoy having multiple flavors. I have experienced both pre & ante virality & I can say for sure the quality remained the same. I did go less after it went viral as it is always packed, but they have a system & they hired more workers! I truly believe they deserve the hype & I am very happy that their business is going so well. All in all, very delicious. Would always go. I recommend the Salmon Luxe & eel! (But honestly everything is good)View more

One word, delicious... It was worth waiting in line for 5-10 minutes. Inside, there are a few seats available but it's very small. We ordered a bit of everything to try including the unagi, soy egg yolk, spicy raw tuna, Korean fried chicken & the salmon luxe. To be honest, the simpler the tastier! So the spicy tuna & soy egg yolk were my favorite. The salmon luxe had both tuna & salmon in it, but I couldn't taste the difference, so what's the point of getting it. Also, very good quality price. You get a huge onigiri for about 4$ if you go with the classics but it can go to 8$.View more

this was a very pleasantly surprising discovery !! the onigiris are surprisingly cheap : & it's not because the quality is bad. there's a lot of filling, & it's good quality : fresh fish, egg, cheese, avocado, etc. the employees were nice & hard at work, the kicthen was clean. the onigiris were very filling & I felt satisfied after one. it was very crowded, I guess it was a victim of it's own success !! we managed to find a seat, wasn't the most comfortable, but it wasn't too bad. i'll definitely be going back for an affordable delicious meal !!View more

Friendly staff, good service. It was at peak hour so there were a lot of people, we could dine in or take it out. I'd say it's worth it, the onigiri were big & high quality. However, the taste was not that good to be honest. Having had authentic onigiri, those were way too salty for both people who like japanese food & those who don't eat it often. It had way too much salt & spices, so the rice was honestly not that yummy which is fatal for an onigiri shop. I also got terrible food poisoning, one of the worst I ever experienced & the only raw onigiri I had was the egg one. Overall a good shop, but not recommended for first timers & only go if you really crave a fast filling japanese meal.View more
