Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is widely praised for fresh, generously filled onigiri and strong value, with many noting the salmon and tuna options as standout and the rice perfectly prepared. The menu appeals for its variety and convenience, including a mini ramen and easy takeout, making it a good quick snack or meal. While most reviews are positive, some experiences point to inconsistency in quality across visits or locations, with occasional rice that is cold or bland and slower service for takeout. A few customers mention friendly staff and a cozy vibe, though a couple describe less favorable encounters. Overall, the reviews present Onigiri Shop as a solid, affordable option for flavorful onigiri and casual Japanese fare, best enjoyed by trying several varieties to find personal favorites.

Very bland, no flavor at all. A lot of rice & bland filling. Ordered the miso beef & it was very dry with no sauce or flavor. Also had the salmon & shrimp onigiri, & they were just as bland.

A bit over rated in my opinion. Went there last night & they did not have raw salmon. All the salmon options were unavailable which was very disappointing to me & all the group we went with.
The staff was a bit confused & not helpful at all but that's okay. We ordered the spicy tuna wakame onigiris & they were decent. Not too special. But not bad at all.
The rice to protein ratio was embarrassing but that's what you expect from cheap eats in Montreal. Each one was 6$ which is very cheap but I would say you need 2 or 3 if you wanna make it a meal instead of a snack.

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.

I gave this place a second chance based on reviews so it's not consistent. But the second time was full of flavour, delicious full of meat & warm. The first time I went it was cold & mostly rice with little flavor. I'd try again to see if they are more consistent.

Me & my friend came here a couple of times already & 3/5 visits, we kept finding hair in our onigiri. They were nice enough to offer a refund or replace our food though. But three times out of five that I've visited, there must be something wrong here. Food is great when the rice isn't mostly mushy. I found the Monkland branch to serve better rice.
I was surprised to find out that they don't sell the plushies like the monkland branch. This place could use a lot more cozy decorations & lighting too. I also noticed that they give free food to certain customers. They used to have a weekly challenge for free drinks but I don't know how to get the free food. It's mostly the bearded guy that talks & gives free stuff to people. Seems to be a nice guy.

Warm & attentive staff make this cozy spot special. The onigiri tastes wonderfully authentic, with perfectly seasoned rice & high-quality ingredients throughout each carefully crafted piece.

Delightfully fresh ingredients come together in authentic onigiri creations. The spotless dining area & genuinely welcoming staff make this cozy spot perfect for a quick Japanese rice ball fix.

I tried the original spot of onigiri shop, & this one doesn't taste the same at all. what happened? It really didn't taste as good as the original spot. Rice was so mushy & bland. I wouldn't recommend. Try the OG spot. Difference is day & night. Disappointed.
