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.
Les onigiri sont d'une taille conséquente & d'un bon rapport qualité-prix. Le service est bon sans pour autant être exceptionnel. Je recommande en particulier les onigiri au poisson cru! Le seul bémol c'est la manque de place pour manger sur place.

Miso was good, cheesecake was ok but not worth the price. Why did my onigiri taste like baking soda? We got 3 & the rice all had that same weird taste. I've had onigiri before, I know what seasoned rice is supposed to taste like, but I've never tasted anything like this. It wasn't pleasant. Maybe that's the style? I really don't know. Nori was gummy - maybe consider the option of having it packaged separate for to-go or delivery orders? Too bad because I really wanted to like this place. Good value for price, but not to my taste at all.
J'ai adoré! J'ai acheté deux onigiris ( C1 Beef-Tama & S1 Salmon deluxe ) & les deux sont excellents. Service impeccable & rapide, je recommande fortement le déplacement. I loved it! I ordered two onigiris ( C1 Beef-Tama & S1 Salmon deluxe ) & both were excellent. Fast & impeccable service, I highly recommend.
Probably the best onigiri ever!! We were travelling from Toronto & didn't know the store timings. So even though the kitchen closed half hour ago they still let us order & made the most yummy giant onigirs!!! We ordered cooked salmon & cooked shrimp!

Finally a location that serves onigiris that looks & tastes delicious. There are plenty of options, everything is made fresh, & there is a bit of something for everyone. Just don't expect to be able to sit down at the restaurant because seating is very limited & it is very popular. I also wish the store had more convenient store hours but that is a nitpick.
Small cozy vibe that has outside table! I went there with my husband & the food was excellent ! Great portion, absolutely love the place ! Have a good varieties choice there to choose from, too bad is located a hour from us because we would most likely go there more often 😅 My husband absolutely love the beef & chicken one & I agreed with him 🫶 the seasoning was on point, we didn't need to add any extra sauce Located near to metro Villa-Maria on the orange line has a bus or we can walk few minutes to get to this place! Will come back for sure !! This is one of the best onigiri we've tried in montreal ! 💕

cool spot at monkland, 4$ onigiris are good, buy a cheap drink at the provigo next to it or get free water ( a rarity these days, really glad they have it) at the place sometimes gets cramped, service can be unreliable at times, but the relatively cheap food & atmosphere makes up for it. would defiently get the taiwanese pork onigiri, by far the best one, you can also get spicy salmon keep in mind that these onigiris are mostly worth it for the 4$ price & atmosphere, if any of this changes so will my review
