Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is widely noted for its large, satisfying onigiri with a variety of fillings such as spicy salmon, spicy tuna, Korean fried chicken, and beef miso, with reviewers highlighting generous portions that feel affordable for a quick meal. The St Denis location is popular among students and benefits from promotions, and the ordering process is straightforward: order at the counter, receive a pager, and seat yourself while meals come out quickly. The atmosphere is simple and clean, with a casual vibe and often wooden bowls that feel high quality. The rice is described as soft and well cooked, wrapped in seaweed with a generous center, though a few comments mention rice that was old or overly salty and some onigiri that fell apart, indicating occasional inconsistency. Overall the onigiri are the star and the place is seen as a budget friendly, comforting option for a fast bite, with additional items like miso soup and drinks valued by many, while some caution is advised for those with fish allergies due to cross contamination.

We had been wanting to try Onigiri Shop for some time. We really appreciate that the St-Denis location offers various promotions. It's probably why this location is so well-loved by students & the younger crowd. Here, you order at the counter, receive a pager that beeps when your order is ready, & seat yourself at one of the tables. There aren't too many tables available, however people eat quickly so you shouldn't have to wait more than 15-20 minutes to dine-in. We have tried the classic flavours such as spicy salmon, spicy tuna, Korean fried chicken, & beef miso. Initially we thought 5$ for an onigiri was on the pricier side, however these onigiris are huge, much larger than the standard ones in Japan. We would say two onigiris should be filling enough for one person. The staff was friendly & the onigiri came out fast, within 3-5 minutes. Highly recommend if you're in the area for a cheap, simple, & yummy meal.

This was a truly ideal experience for us. Needed to grab a quick lunch before getting a bus. Combo included a wonderful stuffed Onigiri ( we had salmon, spiced Tuns & miso beef) all were wonderful- miso soup was beautifully balanced-warm mocha drink was so tasty- had coconut milk in it & was served in an insulated cup so it was still warm after 8 min. All plates bowls & utensils were wood so it felt so high quality. Service very pleasant & clear.
Highly recommend!

I tried the beef & the spicy salmon. Both are really good, though the beef is much saltier than the salmon so that there's an imbalance when you have them both at once. Service was fast & efficient.

Food tastes great but please beware of cross contamination if you have fish allergies. I ordered beef tama & korean chicken but somehow ended up sick due to traces of fish.
