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.

The onigiri was fresh & good, but not good enough to make me want to come back. I've been here twice now & the service at the cash has been poor both times. This most recent time in particular - no welcome, hi, bonjour. No thank you, these are the bare minimum of customer service... When you walk in & are greeted with a death stare & they say nothing, doesn't make you want to stay. Visited Tuesday 17th March at lunch time.

Amazing hand rolls! Ever since I first tried it, I have been coming back at least once a week. The fresh salmon & spicy tuna ones are really good. Highly recommended place!

Onigiris usually suffer from the deception of being mostly rice with very little inside. This place has none of that. Every single one of their onigiris are packed to the brim. So much that at times, it bursts from how packed it is. Ingredients are fresh. Rice is just right. The basics are always the toughest to refine, but this place has those basics down to perfection. & the Mini Ramen is always a joy to add. & so affordable. Where else can you be so satisfied for less than 15? Highly recommend.

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!

We had the 1.5 combo it was a nice amount of food for a little lunch for two people.

We had 3 onigiri: tuna mayo, tuna épicé & beef-tama. They were warm & very fresh! However, the classic ones were very simple & not that good. I buy better ones from the grocery store with more ingredients & flavor for the same price. The beef-tama one was very good. The egg yoke in it was delicious.

Overall I'm glad I tried it. The food was enjoyable, but I don't think ai will come back. I will stick to getting onigiri at the grocery store.
