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.
Première visite dans ce bel endroit au bon concept. Je pense qu'il y a de meilleures options que ce que j'ai pris, car les onigiri au thon cuit goûtait exactement comme du thon en canne malheureusement...
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 :)
Really tasty spot with sweet staff. The avocado & preserved egg onigiri are both incredibly rich & delicious. The matcha cake was fluffy & had a very intense matcha flavour.
1st time & we're very impressed with the quality, reminds us of Gorichan in Osaka. Price is extremely good as it's a big portion with lots of filling, who knew value for money still exists in Canada. Definitely coming back for more.

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 😊
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
