Onigiri Shop is described as consistently fresh and savory, with onigiri that are generously filled and made with tasty fillings, in a cozy, friendly setting with fast, courteous service and good value, though lunchtime can get busy and a few reviews note occasional cold interiors or packaging for grab and go; the menu includes a wide range of choices from tuna mayo and salmon to beef tama, unagi and vegan options, and the rice is praised for its stickiness and the overall quality keeps many diners coming back.
I'm so glad I doubled back & decided to try this onigiri shop. I got the salmon luxe (filled with raw & cooked salmon & ikura) & the raw tuna for a second onigiri. They fill the onigiri with fresh & generous amounts of fish. So good, I had to help myself to a third.
The staff were also super kind & chill.
The little shop quickly filled within the time I was there (roughly 20-30 minutes) but the crowd does turn over quickly.
The Onigiri (Japanese Rice Ball shaped into a triangle) at Onigiri Shop Mile End was good. Would definitely recommend if craving a good onigiri in the Montreal, QC area.
The Fuji Mountain Onigiri (fresh salmon, kanikama (crab stick), shrimp, avocado, kelp, grilled cheese, egg yolks, furikake, & tempura) was delicious & filling. The assortment of seafood, egg yolk, veggies, & sauce work wonderfully in this onigiri.
The Beef-Tama Onigiri (miso marinated beef, egg yolk & green onion) was good. The beef was flavourful & delicious.
Of the two onigiris, we liked the Fuji Mountain Ongiri the best :)
Got 2 Onigiris for 13$ including tax. pretty affordable in my opinion.
Portion: Bigger than usual onigiris in grocery stores.
Filling: In my opinion the rice was overpowering the amount of filling, there could've been more filling.
Time: 10 to 15 minutes since they do it freshly in front of you!
Overall 7.5/10

Everything about their Onigiris tasted fresh & extremely flavourful. One thing I realize was the Presentation of the food, which was appealing & appetizing. Great team who are friendly & welcoming. Will surely come back
Spectacular Onigiri! One of the best I've had in Montreal! I was quite surprised how big their'Classic' size onigiri was, (which is the smallest). The service was great & the atmosphere was pleasant & cozy. I ordered the spicy raw tuna, which I found to be not hot at all, but maybe I have a good tolerance for spice. Happily, they gave me a generous portion of raw tuna, which was incredibly fresh, a good deal at $5. It came served on a beautiful wooden plate, which looked great, but unfortunately it quickly fell apart in my hands as I was eating, which never happened to me before. Nevertheless, I highly recommend Onigiri Shop Mile End, & I look forward to trying the rest of their menu.
