Onigiri Shop offers big, filling onigiri with generous fillings and quick, friendly service in a cute, casual setting, and it is praised for value and variety with favorites like spicy salmon, tuna and beef; many reviews note consistent quality and a warm atmosphere, while others point to inconsistent cleanliness, dishes arriving warm or oily, minimal salads and gaps in gluten free information, leading to mixed feelings about overall value; still, it remains a popular, affordable lunch spot for those seeking satisfying bites.
The staff were so kind & welcoming. The onigiri were the best I've ever had - & they were expertly made. I have not had the same experience at any other such restaurant. 10/10
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.
