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.

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.

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!

The onigiri here is really good. I ordered the raw salmon & tuna one. Service was cool & the vibe of the place is really nice. Prices are acceptable as well.

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.

Nice fast Japanese food 🍙
The selection is quite wide but you ll mainly end up eating tuna & salmon 😉
I recommend having some onigiris if you dont have enough time to eat as they are convenient !

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.
