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.

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 I will come back. I will stick to getting onigiri at the grocery store.

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.

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.
