Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is widely recognized for its fresh, generous, and affordable Japanese snacks, with many patrons praising the delicious flavor combinations and the satisfying, packed portions of their signature rice balls and mini ramen. While the atmosphere is frequently described as cute and the food quality is often highlighted as a highlight of the experience, the restaurant faces significant criticism regarding inconsistent customer service and operational challenges during peak hours. Reports of long wait times, confused or sometimes unfriendly staff, and occasional stock shortages on popular items have impacted some visits, leading to a divide in customer satisfaction. Overall, those who enjoy the casual, budget-friendly vibe find it a great spot for a quick bite, though others suggest that more consistent service and clearer communication regarding operating hours would greatly improve the experience.

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.

J'ai trouvé que mes 2 Onigiris (Saumon cru & Kimchi Avocat) manquaient cruellement de goût & tout était un peu tiède (je les aime bien frais), je n'ai pas forcément aimé la cuisine mais le service est sympa.

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.
