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.
Had an event in the area & was searching for a place to get a small bite before, & this ended up being the perfect spot ! Very affordable & it's easy to get a portion accomodating for big or small appetites. Staff was amazingly welcoming & nice too, & the playlist was great ! have nothing but positive things to say & will definitely bring people with me next time I go !

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.
