Onigiri Shop is described as offering big, fresh onigiri with generous fillings and a wide variety of flavors, from spicy salmon and tuna to eel and beef, plus sides and soups, making it an affordable and satisfying lunch option. Reviews praise fast service, a cozy, cute atmosphere, and the sense that the onigiri hits the spot, with many calling it among the best onigiri spots. Some notes raise concerns about cleanliness and food safety, including reports of warm fish or rice and busy staff, and there are mentions that gluten free information isn't clearly communicated. The dining space is frequently described as small with limited seating, leaning toward takeout or quick meals, though the decor and vibe are repeatedly praised. Overall, the consensus is that portions are large and good value, with a wide range of fillings keeping many customers returning, despite the occasional service or hygiene caveat.
Incredible lunch spot! Delicious & filling $5 onigiri in a neighbourhood that's generally quite expensive.
Only note I'd have is the staff evidently didn't know what'gluten free' meant. There are lots of gluten-intolerant folks around that would love to know this!
I was honestly really excited to try this from reading all the positive reviews. Yet, i have to be honest. The place was dirty & smelly. Besides that, sushi was loaded with rice & a few tiny pieces of fish. There was nothing but price to taste.
Alao, they all crumbled after one bite - it was a giant mess to eat ! & the salads are not with more than $2 due to the minimal quantity they provide - a few measly pieces of lettuce, 3 slices cucumbers & a few pieces of crab. Seriously overpriced for what you're getting.
Je recommande ce resto, chaque fois je prends deux spécialitées du chef....le Mont Fuji & le
K-Pop😋 un pure délice! ❤?Un mur est rempli de post -it que les clients commentent & font des dessins, c'est original & j'ai jamais vu une salle de bain si petite mais tellement bien pensé pour la décoration! Wowww !
This is a 5/5 for me because I got exactly the experience I was expecting for the price.
A warm & cozy little lunch counter serving huge onigiri. The service was quick & the food was great! I had a spicy salmon, Korean fried chicken, & beef with marinated jammy egg yolk. Yum!
They have many different kinds to choose from, as well as some simple soups. I don't think you'll be disappointed 👍

Major food safety concerns here. The raw tuna & salmon were served warm - that's dangerous. The onigiri rice was also warm when it should be cool... One kind female worker was juggling serving, taking orders, & washing dishes all at once. The male worker spent the entire time chatting with someone & couldn't even tell us where the garbage bin was. 5 stars reviews were given by people that never tasted good food. Between the subpar food quality & questionable sanitation practices, I can't recommend this place.
I asked my boyfriend to get me a raw salmon & a spicy tuna onigiri as I waited outside with my dog. It came out, but they mistakenly put the tuna & salmon into one onigiri. My bf went inside to tell them of their mistake, & they made me two more onigiris without charging us anything. Great atmosphere & attention to customers. The food is always a 10/10

We've bought some onigiris here & i can say its good, but a bit oily & stuff. the staff is also nice & the atmostphere is just a vibe. I would recommend the salmon mayo, as for the other like spicy chicken or spicy salmon, it can get pretty oily with there chilli oil.
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.
Best deals of onigiri in town. Huge onigiri rice balls for 4.99$. downtown & everywhere is 4$ to 6$ for a tiny thing which you will be still be hungry after..here at this place you eat 2 or 3 & you are full for many hours! Highly recommended! Love this place! 😃😆☺?
