Onigiri Shop

Got the meal for takeout & despite it being only a 10 minute walk from my hotel, the ramen noodles were very soggy & the onigiri seaweed was totally soft. I think they need to rethink their takeout packaging to put the noodles separately, & onigiri's seaweed separately.

The beef onigiri was truly the worst onigiri I've ever tasted. It was not only bland but also incredibly dry. I've had onigiri from the grocery store near expiry & it tasted way better. Both the beef & salmon onigiri I had were bland, while the ramen was way too salty. The onigiri needed more seasoning on the rice.

The only redeeming part of this meal was the salmon avocado bowl, which was tasty & reminiscent of a poke bowl.

I'm shocked this place has a 4.6 star on Google based on my experience.

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.
