Les avis soulignent largement des onigiris généreux et satisfaisants chez Onigiri Shop, avec des garnitures variées comme saumon épicé, thon épicé, poulet frit coréen et miso boeuf, et des portions généreuses qui paraissent abordables pour un repas rapide. L'emplacement de St Denis est populaire auprès des étudiants et bénéficie des promotions; le service se fait au comptoir, on reçoit un pager et on s'installe, les plats arrivent rapidement. L'ambiance est simple et propre, avec une atmosphère décontractée et des bols en bois qui donnent une impression de qualité. Le riz est souvent loué pour sa cuisson douce et sa texture légèrement collante, enrobé d'algues avec une garniture généreuse; cependant quelques avis signalent du riz vieilli ou trop salé et certains onigiris qui se désintègrent, montrant une certaine irrégularité. Dans l'ensemble, les onigiris restent la vedette et l'endroit est perçu comme une option économique et réconfortante pour un repas rapide, avec des accompagnements comme la soupe miso et des boissons appréciés par beaucoup, alors que certains mettent en garde contre la contamination croisée pour les personnes allergiques au poisson.
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!

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.
Farshid was so kind & helpful that he accepted, with his team, to prepare my order even though they were about to close. The service was excellent, & everyone was very helpful. Really appreciate the kindness-highly recommended!
For the price, this place is amazing.
Employee professional but friendly, onigiri tasted really good, they are chubby too.
I recommend & will come back!
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.
La meilleure place pour manger des onigiris à Montréal.
Je n'ai rien d'autre à dire que c'est simplement délicieux, pas trop cher.
Attention, l'algue n'est pas croustillante mais ce'est pas dérangeant.
Je recommande fortement.

Food price is great especially for the great quality. Fish is delicious. The onigiris are not packed well & often spill out & crumble, much more than at other places. Service is slow but reasonable if it's not during peak hours. I recommend visiting it.
Delicious onigiri for fair prices. It was pretty hot in the room & we were given only one board to five people, which made it difficult to eat without spilling. Nonetheless, I would absolutely recommend to try it out.
Sincèrement, pour une petite collation tout comme un repas, de très bon onigiri, c'est frais, service rapide en moins de 2 min & personel accueillant , pour 5$!
Je recommande
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.
