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.
Went to dine in a month ago. Love the concept & prices are good for the portions. They're a lot bigger than your typical onigiri at your local korean convenience store. Menu has many options but their basic onigiris are fantastic don't overlook them! Interior is very small & not a lot of room to dine in so I recommend getting a to go if you're looking for a quick bite!

Cool onigiri shop! I like the idea. You can grab a quick snack for 5-6$ & go on your day. You can find them cheaper elsewhere but these are definitely bigger! Taste was it was good!
Onigiri was great & relatively cheap & something you can easily eat on the go. Got the mixed salmon & tuna as well as the Taiwanese braised pork. Their seafood one was better though the pork was also delicious.
Little small shop but a very busy spot. I stocked with the classics onigiri. Will go by another time to try the others. Order ahead of you can or wait in line haha
Very good food, lineup is not the staffs fault because this place is amazing & authentic! ♥️♥️♥️♥️Staff is nice & work is very efficient. It take a little time for you to get your food because it is a complicated assemble process done extremely fast & there is sooo many different orders before yours! But you won't regret it after getting your beloved onigiri 🍙

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.
Est-ce que c'est correct ? Oui, c'est mangeable, mais vraiment loin d'être exceptionnel. Ce que j'ai reçu ne ressemblait en aucun cas à ce que l'on voit sur les photos. Mon onigiri saumon-avocat avait de l'avocat brun & amer. Il n'y avait aucune sauce incluse, même pas un sachet de soja, absolument rien. C'est correct, mais sans plus.
Price from 3.99/each to 7.99 $/each. Today I ordered luxury salmon & Mount Fuji, after tax & tip it was nearly 20$, not cheap but the taste is quite good. After that, I tried fresh salmon (3.99 $) & tama beef (5.25 $). They are all good in general. Imo, you can order the luxury one when u want to treat yourself a bit fancier, but in general the classic one is already good enough. I do recommend the fresh salmon one

Food is amazing, salmon is very fresh & the unagi is great!! Very nice owners & workers. I ordered 6 onigiris from doordash & the delivery guy stole 4. I called them & they decided to deliver the rest. The onigiris were great & they gave me 2 for free! Thank you so much :)
Exploring new neighborhood for me & I saw this onigiri store from the outside with the banner said "starting from $3.99" & I couldn't resist to try & it's true. The basic onigiri, the tuna onigiri that I ordered was $3.99, but the thing that makes me surprised was with that price, the made a very good onigiri. The rice is good, the filling is generous, up until the bottom of the onigiri & almosy over the inside of the onigiri. I also ordered the beef tama onigiri, & their specialties, Mont-Royal, which cost a little bit pricier but still good & 3 of those onigiri enough to fill me for the whole day. The place on the other hand is really small & sometimes it can be crowded. On summer, there's an outside terrase, but on winter, I can see this place would be a little bit tight. Also there's a sushi store connected to the onigiri & you can order the sushi & eat in the onigiri place too.
