Onigiri shop on Monkland is a nice little addition to the neighborhood. Fresh, simple, & well made, a good spot to grab a quick & satisfying bite. Nice variety of fillings so there's something for different tastes. Great option if you're after something lighter but still filling, worth a visit.

My coworker & I decided to drop-by to get some lunch.

Very cute place, friendly staff & the onigiris were delish.

I took the beef tama & the fresh salmon one, they are bigger than the usual onigiris elsewhere, very filling & tasty!

I also took a small cucumber salad on the side. omg drools. i took the shrimp & crabstick as protein & sesame dressing as choice… soooo good. & refreshing.

2 onigiris + small salad costs me $20 something

beautiful lunch, def going back

I recently visited this place that shares its space with a sushi restaurant next door. The onigiri portions are generous for their size, & the prices are very affordable. I tried a few flavors: beef miso, cooked salmon, mixed salmon (fresh, cooked salmon & ikura), & eel. The flavors were okay overall, though I found the beef a bit too salty for my liking. One challenge was that the fillings tended to fall apart after the first bite, making them a bit tricky to eat. That said, I'm still intrigued & plan to go back to try more flavors next time. It's worth checking out if you're in the area & looking for a quick & budget-friendly bite!

I just had lunch here & it was amazing! Super fresh & delicious, & I paid under $10. The service was also excellent. I decided after paying that I wanted a sauce & they gave it to me on the house. This is definitely my new go-to on Monkland!!
