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.

Everyone here is absolutely lovely! The guy with the beard is always funny & a delight to chat with. I've come here many times just for a quick lil snack after work & always leave feeling satiated. Today, I wore my work jacket, & they hooked me up with free onigiri & said they support us workers (I'm not a cop, obviously). Anywaysssss, I highly suggest this place because they're fast, the food is delicious & inexpensive, the place is clean, & they're always welcoming. I'm sooooo glad we have you in the'hen' :)

Bought 3 onigiri to take out. They were all delicious, quite large compared to ones I've tried before & with a generous amount of filling. The prices are very reasonable too. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

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.

So freaking good! I've already been twice! The ingredients are fresh, the portions & flavors are great, & the prices are incomparable! For 12$ or less you can get 2 great onigiris that make up a complete meal! They also provide free water & soy sauce. The store is clean & modern (great bathroom btw) but I personally recommend to take it to go & go eat next to the canal, which is a 10 min walk away. Everything is good but shoutout to the spicy salmon & Korean fried chicken onigiri.
