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.

When the stores open I loved this place & other stores that open. Always enjoyed their big yummy onigiri. Could advise thé saumon/ avocat or chicken karage.
My only complaint tho will be either the service depending from the store I guess u see people more motivated of working there or not…

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
