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. While many diners highlight the quality and convenience of the meals, some feedback raises concerns regarding ingredient consistency, portion ratios, and occasional food safety or hygiene practices. Despite mixed experiences with the texture of the rice and the oiliness of certain options, the restaurant remains a popular lunch destination for those seeking a tasty, casual, and budget friendly bite.

Rather disappointed, It's not Korean/Japanese rice. The round rice will be better.

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.

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.
