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.
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 !

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.
Mon Too Good to go n'était pas prêt à mon arrivée. J'ai dû attendre & attendre bien qu'ils soient trois à servir mais ils sont lents, vraiment lents & ne semblent pas savoir qui fait quoi.
Dans les évaluations sur internet, on peut lire que ce resto a du a emporter déjà prêt...Mon expérience me fait dire le contraire.
Service trop lent pour que je revienne. J'aurai dû regarder avant leurs notes sur Google car d'autres personnes mentionnent ce problème.
Beaux onigiris! Ils sont savoureux, bien remplis avec ce qu' il faut.
Great experience at this Onigiri shop in Montreal! The portions were generous, & the food was fresh & delicious. Definitely recommend - I'll be back for more!

J'adore cette endroit. Les onigris sont bien remplit , les saveurs sont au rendez-vous . J'aime beaucoup le mini ramen , quoi que si il y avait une portion plus grande je la commanderais pour sur . Qualité prix , imbattable !
picked up onigiri & edamame. the onigiri was okay, & the edamame was brownish green & not fresh at all. this place feels so commercial & transactional & like a fast food joint. not impressed!
Enfin un resto qui vaut le coup à saint Henri ! C'est devenu mon go to, jamais été déçue :)
Petit plus, le staff est toujours super accueillant & amical
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 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.
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.
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.
