Review Summary

Reviews describe Onigiri Shop as a cozy, quick-serve spot where onigiri are prepared to order with fresh fillings and soft rice. Common favorites include salmon, tuna mayo, unagi, shrimp tempura, and the Fuji Mountain, with many calling them flavorful and generously filled. The overall mood praises quick, friendly service and good value, with portions that satisfy without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is noted as welcoming and casual, though lunchtime crowds can make the shop busy and the interior sometimes feel cool. A few comments mention a wish for grab and go options, neater wrappers, and packaging improvements, while vegan and vegetarian fillings are highlighted as a plus. Occasional criticisms include delivery issues and fillings that are not as spicy as some expect, but these do not overshadow the general sense of freshness and quality. Overall, Onigiri Shop is widely regarded as one of the best onigiri spots in the area, a reliable place for a delicious, satisfying quick bite.

This onigiri shop is really good, with perfectly sticky rice that holds together nicely. The tuna mayo is especially delicious & gives an instant taste of Japan. It gets very busy during lunchtime, so I'd recommend going a bit later if you want to avoid the wait. My only wish is that they offered some pre-made onigiri ready to grab & go, & used the classic Japanese onigiri wrappers. That would make it much easier to slip one into a pocket & head out, instead of using the flimsy plastic containers.

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.

We ordered spicy tuna & salmon! But there wasn't much mayo & it was mostly rice. Service was excellent though.

I love Onigiri Shop! 🍙 This is the third location I've visited, & it never disappoints. The prices are fair, & the variety of onigiri is impressive!

✨? My top 3 favorites: raw salmon/tuna, soy-marinated egg yolk, & the classic tuna mayo.

The onigiri are generously sized-you'll be full after two or three, depending on your appetite. Definitely worth a visit!

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.
