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.

Leur nouvelle déco est une réussite totale ! Le restaurant s'intègre maintenant parfaitement dans l'ambiance tendance & unique de Saint-Henri. L'atmosphère est bien plus agréable, une vraie touche finale qui rend l'expérience tout simplement parfaite. Bravo pour cette transformation !

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.

Really great experience, taste was amazing the ingredients were fresh & well prepared. Recommend the soy egg yoke & the Korean BBQ as well as the steak. Seating area by the window offers lots of light & good seating. Large portion also 2 was enough for 1 person.
