Stopped by with 4 other persons for a quick onigiri snack. They were excellent. We had the salmon onigiri, great taste & a good quantity of fish! Definitely stopping by again.

Yummy!
Very reasonable prices, filling, healthy meals. My first time having real onigiri. Tasty! Can tell a lot of love is put into the ingredients.
I have tried the vege mix, wakame, & vege mix + wakame! The third was my favourite but they're all good. Lots of vegan options too which is so nice (& so rare!!)

Service is quick. Staff is always kind & accommodating. I highly recommend this shop!

Only thing is it tends to be cold! Especially when the door gets stuck open. I recommend bringing a warm coat if you come in the winte

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.

I was blown away by how nice the interior of this onigiri shop was! Staff was friendly & helpful. Many different filling options for every taste, though I must recommend the Mount Fuji onigiri!
A must-visit for a delicious, quick meal 😊

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.
