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.

I was so excited to try this place based on the great reviews but I was pretty disappointed. I'm not sure if I just ordered the worst of the menu but I tried both the tuna mayo & the veggie mix & both were REALLY bland & lacking in flavour. More seasoning would be key (maybe some furikake?) & even more vinegar in the rice for some acidity. My husband tried the seasoned egg yolk & the shrimp one & liked those. The ingredients were fresh on the plus side so I'm willing to give it another shot.

Many choices of onigiri. I recommend the fresh salmon one. Fresh & delicious. I didn't try the Korean Fried Chicken but that seemed like the most popular onigiri. The place is small. Most people come for takeout. However, there are small tables inside & on the patio if you want to eat there. They also sell a few Japanese food items to take home like furikake, wasabi & mirin.

So many choices to choose from that you can find something you will like. I've tried Unagi, Spicy Tuna, Omega 3, & Mount Fuji. The ingredients are fresh & the rice is cooked & flavored deliciously. 2 onigiri's are plenty to fill your appetite. Not many places to sit, but there are a few seats indoors & outdoors where you can people watch. I'll be back.

The onigiri rice balls at this shop are filled with delicious fillings♪ The staff are friendly & the onigiri rice balls are perfect, even for me as a Japanese person.

Très bonne qualité-prix! Onigiris généreux & goûteux. Ils ont fait une erreur dans la commande & n'ont pas hésité à nous donner un onigiri de plus pour se faire pardonner. Nous ne nous sommes par contre pas fait servir en français.

This place is incredible! I never leave reviews, but I just had to for this one. The onigiri here are out of this world, & it's not expensive at all for what you get. Even though it's far from my place, I am definitely coming back. This is an absolute must visit if you're nearby!
