Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is generally regarded as a cozy and affordable neighborhood spot known for its quick service and a diverse variety of fresh, filling onigiri. Many visitors appreciate the friendly staff and the pleasant atmosphere, with popular menu items like the Fuji Mountain and various creative fillings receiving high praise.

No hate towards the business at all, but I think the food is really mid & I can make better onigiris at home, so I wouldn't recommend ! I took the friend chicken (this was more like grilled, there was not crispiness or batter at all) & salmon one, which both really lacked flavor. They are huge tho, which is nice, but at the end of the day, it's just rice! Did not understand the hype around this?

Tiny place with big flavors. There is a line, & the provided shelter doesn't really do anything to help. Not sure why it said "STM" on it, but... C'est la vie (c'est la vie... That's life) Go get an onigiri. It's good here.

For the price & portion size, this place is fantastic. I'm a pretty big eater, so sushi meals are usually expensive but here I'm full for about 20$. I will say the ingredients are not the freshest (I don't recommend the tuna) nor is the rice the best seasoned, but for the price it's great!

New gem in the hood on Monkland ave. Handmade fresh onigiri. Recommended: Fuji mountain onigiri & the almond tofu dessert.

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 !!

The rice is unseasoned Honestly don't fall into the hype it's just unseasoned rice in a ball with some ingredients, it was very dissapointing If you want tasty Onigiris just go to MTL K Food or at the onigiri lady on McGill station near the eaton center entrance, those are real good ones The place is also not cleanest tbh You guys can do bette
