Review Summary

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!

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 👍

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

Great place to grab a quick lunch. Onigiris are fine & at a great price. I do find this location make better onigiris than the one on Notre-Dame.

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!!

What a fun & delicious lunch I was treated to by my colleague. The food was made fresh to order. We ate outside. Monkland is charming so is the inside of this restaurant/cafe.

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

It's actually quite good. I was skeptical at first because of some reviews saying they got food poisoning, glad to know the staff corrected the hygiene. Prices are fair (between 3.99 & 5.75) & they really stuff it to the max : onigiris are big & filling. I bought 3 : korean chicken & tama, the salmon avocado & the beef. Definitely get the salmon & avocado & try a 2nd one. A perfect place for takeout lunch since the shop is quite small.

A good choice for an easy & fun lunch. The onigiri are very fresh & tasty. You can easily eat for under 10$ if you want to or try the chef's specials for a bit of a treat. Definitely worth trying out a couple. It's a cute spot to sit & eat.
