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.

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.

I love the Onigiri Shop by Concordia but this one is bad. There was someone's lipstick stain still on my miso soup bowl. The onigiris were not fresh & the spot is just not well kept.

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.

J'aimais bien cet endroit… Jusqu'à ce que j'y vive une expérience absolument dégueulasse! À ÉVITER!

J'explique : je rentre dans la succursale Saint-Denis, il est environ 17 h 30 & plusieurs tables sont occupées. Il n'y a qu'une seule personne derrière le comptoir, elle est donc assez occupée. Elle vient rapidement prendre ma commande, touche quelques éléments à la caisse (menu, écran de caisse), & me remet le petit bipeur qui m'indiquera quand ma commande sera prête, tout ça EN GARDANT SES GANTS avec lesquels elle cuisinait. Elle fait demi-tour & repart préparer d'autres commandes, TOUJOURS AVEC LES MÊMES GANTS ! Je la vois clairement manipuler de la nourriture sans changer ses gants ni se laver les mains, après avoir touché toutes sortes de surfaces qui n'étaient manifestement pas propres. D'autres clients entrent, & elle recommence exactement la même chose! Depuis combien de temps portait-elle ces gants? J'ai déposé mon beeper & je suis parti sans prendre ma commande (alors que je l'avais déjà payée).

C'est vraiment pas hygiénique. Si votre commerce fonctionne si bien, chers propriétaires, voici mes suggestions :

1- Formez correctement vos employés aux règles de salubrité.
2- Prévoyez plus d'une personne derrière le comptoir à l'heure du rush, afin que le personnel ait le temps de travailler dans les règles de l'art.

J'écris rarement ce genre d'avis, mais j'ai jugé nécessaire d'en informer le public.

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!
