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.

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

My 7y/o was thrilled & said they deserve 1000000 stars.

Update: more than a year later, he still loves this place & we go there almost every week!

i really want to love this place, & the first time i came i much preferred it. but this time, the staff were rude, not accommodating, & they kept leaving the door open on a freezing cold day while i was there with my baby. they don't have high chairs & the vibe is weird. much better for take out.

Honestly, I really wanted to like this place but it just wasn't it. Too much rice & the filling is minimal & lacks flavor. I've had much better onigiri from Asian supermarkets that were cheaper.

J'ai pris le spécial du chef aux pétoncles (Pearl something) & celui au saumon frais. C'était excellent, portion de poisson généreuse, on ne vous sert pas seulement une boule de riz. La caissière très gentille aussi. Pas beaucoup de places pour manger en salle, mais globalement superbe expérience. J'y retournerai.

First, amazing quality rice. I've been experimenting with Toyama & Hokkaido, but this shop's rice mouthfeel is great! Higher quality than some shops in Japan. The filling is plentiful, & their combos are great. Miso beef was slightly salty, hearty, & had a lot of rice & beef. The egg yolk beef was also a wonderful combination. The salmon was hearty & bountiful. The seaweed is also not soggy. I would come again. Though they may not be all jp, they did a good job working on their recipes. Better than some smaller jp shops I've been :)
