Onigiri Shop draws broadly positive feedback for a simple, clean, casual setting and meals where the onigiri are the star: large portions with generous fillings like salmon, spicy tuna, miso beef and eel, all paired with rice that is described as perfectly cooked, soft and a bit sticky, wrapped in seaweed. The offerings are praised for being affordable and satisfying, with fast service and a focus on quick, tasty lunch or takeout, and the atmosphere often noted as rustic and friendly with wooden bowls and a low key vibe. While many diners are impressed by the variety and quality, some reviews flag issues such as rice that is not up to par at times, excessive saltiness, occasional crumbling, or cross contamination concerns for allergies, and there are a few reports of slower service during peak hours or a location lacking air conditioning. The experience is frequently described as dependable and addictive, with compliments toward the staff for kindness and helpfulness and special mentions of popular choices like large onigiri with generous fillings and creative takes on traditional options. Overall, Onigiri Shop is seen as a great value quick bite with big, satisfying bites and a wide range of fillings that keep customers returning.

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!

If you need a quick gluten free option before a movie date this is the spot.

I've been to this location multiple times & will keep coming for more. The inside is very cutely decorated & very clean (which is important when handling raw ingredients). The staff is lovely & serves you with a smile.

The onigiris taste amazing & have a great selections of filling. They crumble a little bit in your hands sometimes, but it's manageable. I personally recommend anything with salmon. The matcha tiramisu was also amazing! Definitely go for that.

Overall, a cute & casual spot for a quick lunch in between classes.
