Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is widely celebrated for serving generously portioned, delicious, and affordably priced onigiri that are larger than typical varieties, making them a satisfying choice for a quick meal. Many visitors appreciate the variety of creative flavors, the fresh ingredients, and the efficient service provided by the friendly staff. While the simple, clean, and casual atmosphere is well-regarded by most, some patrons have noted inconsistent experiences regarding order accuracy, occasional issues with rice texture or structural integrity, and concerns about allergen disclosures. Despite these minor critiques, the overall consensus remains highly positive, with many customers expressing loyalty to the establishment as a reliable, high-quality spot for comfort food in Montreal.

Got the meal for takeout & despite it being only a 10 minute walk from my hotel, the ramen noodles were very soggy & the onigiri seaweed was totally soft. I think they need to rethink their takeout packaging to put the noodles separately, & onigiri's seaweed separately.

The beef onigiri was truly the worst onigiri I've ever tasted. It was not only bland but also incredibly dry. I've had onigiri from the grocery store near expiry & it tasted way better. Both the beef & salmon onigiri I had were bland, while the ramen was way too salty. The onigiri needed more seasoning on the rice.

The only redeeming part of this meal was the salmon avocado bowl, which was tasty & reminiscent of a poke bowl.

I'm shocked this place has a 4.6 star on Google based on my experience.

Déception immense, on a vu ses onigiris sur internet, énormes & bien remplis de garniture.

On croque dedans & là c'est catastrophique, aucun goût, que ce soit le riz ou l'intérieur, c'est fade.
C'est vraiment dommage car je pense que le concept de ces onigiris bien remplis pourrait être une merveille.

Peut-être que cela coûterait plus cher, mais ils seraient tellement meilleurs avec de meilleurs aliments.

Je tiens à préciser que j'ai commandé sur place & nous les avons mangés 15 minutes après.

The staff was not very welcoming. It was my first visit, & I wasn't given much explanation. I felt like she didn't understand what I was trying to say.
