Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is widely celebrated as a hidden gem in Montreal, offering delicious, fresh, and authentic Japanese onigiri at highly affordable prices. Guests frequently praise the welcoming and professional staff, the cozy atmosphere, and the consistent quality of the rice and fillings. While the vast majority of visitors enjoy their experience, some note that the shop is small and can get crowded, parking in the area is often challenging, and occasional issues with the filling-to-rice ratio or the preparation of specific items have been mentioned. Overall, the establishment is highly recommended for those seeking a quick, flavorful, and high-quality meal in a relaxed setting.

I usually don't leave reviews but this time I have to lol. Service was kind, it's cheap & food is good. Only thing is they serve imitation crab as shrimp which is a no go. It's like serving hot dogs as steaks & there's allergens in imitation crab.

Great Onigiris! We had ordered a combo of two onigiris in which I had tried the Spicy Korean Chicken & the classic Tuna Mayo & the quantity of the filling did not disappoint! The flavor profile of the onigiris we chose was a great combo! We also had the mini ramen on the side & the broth is most delicious! Because it's summer, I had added an order of the match yuzu dri k & it was super refreshing!

I love how close the store is to where we had stayed but parking can be tricky if you come here after 9am as it gets busy pretty fast on the street (secure your spot!).

A definite must try in town!

Absolutely delicious onigiri served by friendly, welcoming staff. I had the ebi prawn & the raw salmon. Well priced & fresh this is a stellar little spot, I wish I was local to pop in more often!
