Review Summary

Onigiri Shop offers a polarizing experience where patrons frequently praise the fresh ingredients, generous portions, and overall atmosphere, noting that the food is both affordable and delicious. While many enjoy the variety of items like the mini ramen and various onigiri, recurring issues with service inconsistency, long wait times, and reported rudeness from staff during busy periods dampen the experience for some. Opinions on quality remain split, with some customers finding the food consistently excellent and others highlighting significant fluctuations in preparation, availability of menu items, and professionalism. Overall, the restaurant is viewed as a convenient and tasty spot for a quick bite, though the quality of customer service and operational reliability appear to be areas that require improvement.

Came around 2-3PM & they had run out of beef & chicken so this was very unfortunate.

Ended up getting one shrimp tempura mayo, & one spicy tuna (raw). Not the biggest fan of the shrimp tempura mayo. I enjoyed the spicy tuna more.

If you like simple, get the classic single ingredient ones. If you prefer complex, get the ones with more ingredients.

Quality really dropped since it opened. Some employees make awfully shapped onigiri with too much rice. Consistently never have the Korean friend chicken onigiri - at this point just remove it from the menu.

Great value & delish. Korean fried chicken & the salmon tartare are always part of our takeout. Definitely worth trying

Such good onigiri!!! Really generous portions & great price. You can get a to-go onigiri very quickly or wait just a bit & get a freshly made one. We had the tuna mayo, fried chicken mayo, korean chicken & salmon avocado & loved all of them!

I prefer a space that isn't so brightly lit, so I like to get take out here. The onigiri is fresh & delicious. I enjoyed the Shrimp Kanikama the most as well as the fresh salmon. The Korean fried chicken was my least favorite (barely edible in my opinion). Also enjoyed the unagi, but be warned, there are little itty bitty bones. So, if that will give you the icks, don't do it.

So freaking good! I've already been twice! The ingredients are fresh, the portions & flavors are great, & the prices are incomparable! For 12$ or less you can get 2 great onigiris that make up a complete meal! They also provide free water & soy sauce. The store is clean & modern (great bathroom btw) but I personally recommend to take it to go & go eat next to the canal, which is a 10 min walk away. Everything is good but shoutout to the spicy salmon & Korean fried chicken onigiri.
