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.

Superb, very filling portions. Love the agrume water

Edit: today I had ramen & onigiri. The ramen miso was not as tasty. I wish corn was disclosed as I have an intolerance. But at the same time I didn't know that traditional miso has sweet corn especially Sapporo style noodles

There was a mistake in my order which happens I am not mad & instead of letting me keep like any other restaurant or to keep it for employees, server took it & threw it away in the trash. I am fine if employees keep for themselves at least it is not wasted & it goes to a tummy. But she throws it away in this economy & cost crisis? Might as well let it for the consumer or employee to consume. At the same you never know if consumer might have a new favourite & come more. Just a bit disappointing.

The shop is simple & no-frills, but clean & comfortable. It wasn't too crowded when I went.

I ordered a Korean fried chicken onigiri & a salmon one. The onigiri are huge, one is already very filling, & two is honestly too much (too good) for someone like me. But they're so good (I cant stop eating). The rice is cooked perfectly: soft, slightly sticky, not dry at all, wrapped in seaweed with a generous filling in the center.

Each onigiri is around $5, which feels very reasonable considering the size. Big, affordable, & satisfying. I also ordered a small ramen with miso broth. It was okay, but the onigiri is really the star here, simple, but peak comfort food.

Orders come out fast, around 3-5 minutes. I've officially become an onigiri addict after this place. Highly recommend if you're visiting Montreal, cheap, simple, & delicious. I'll probably come back a thousand more times whenever I'm in town.

Great price, great taste, & great service. Some onigiris are brave attempts at reimagining flavors & absolutely loved it. The ramen & miso soup were great too. If you haven't tried yet, highly recommended.

This is a cute shop & the onigiri are delicious & huge. My child has egg, fish, shellfish, peanut & tree nut allergies. He was able to eat the vege mix, & shiitake mushroom onigiris. Although he didn't enjoy the vege mix one as much. We ordered the eel, shrimp tempura, ramen egg, salmon & avocado onigiris, also edamame as well, for the rest of us. All were delicious. There are 4-5 tables, each table fits 2. Place doesn't have AC so it does get warm in the summer. We went there 3x when we visited Montreal, all were takeout, that's how much we enjoyed the food there! Will definitely be go back if we are in the area again.

first time ordering from there (through UberEats). my favourite gimbap/onigiri place on the island is lee n kim at metro mcgill, but this place i think has stolen my heart. the sides were yummy, the rice was chewy fresh, & the avocado was so perfect. i LOVE ramen eggs & having the option to put that in there alone had me through the moon. 10/10
