Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is widely recognized for offering fresh, delicious, and affordably priced onigiri that are prepared on demand. Many patrons appreciate the quick service and the convenient nature of the meals, which are ideal for grabbing on the go. While the majority of customers praise the welcoming and friendly nature of the staff, some experiences are hindered by communication barriers or inconsistencies in service quality and portion sizes. The shop is frequently described as a cozy and clean environment, though seating is limited, making takeout the preferred option. Despite occasional errors in order fulfillment or fluctuations in consistency, the restaurant remains a popular local choice for high-quality, authentic Japanese snacks.

Excellent Onigiri & pas si chère (environ 11$ pour 2). J'ai goûté saumon frais & poulet frit coréen il était excellent & assez gros pour suffire à un repas entie

Excellents onigiris ! J'en ai pris trois : un au thon, un au saumon & un au poulet mayo, & ils étaient tous délicieux. Le rapport qualité-prix est vraiment excellent. La serveuse était très gentille & accueillante. Comme j'étais le seul client à ce moment-là, ma commande a été préparée en seulement 2 à 3 minutes. Les onigiris sont faits sur place, à la demande, ce qui les rend bien frais. Je recommande vivement cette adresse ! En plus, il est possible d'aller les déguster juste à côté, au parc Jeanne-Mance, ce qui est vraiment agréable.

The worker refused to take an order. She said they changed system & now only take in person orders which is absolutely untrue! I work the same block & I usually call right before leaving & my order is ready by the time I'm trere. But now they refuse to take orders, I need to wait in line then wait until it's cooked. Overall I've wasted 25 minutes on what can be done in 2. The situation needs to be reviewed as the workers don't know the process & this customer service is absolutely unacceptable

Great dishes & a very warm, welcoming service. The only issue is that some of your employees don't seem to speak English or French very well, which makes communication difficult. Also, sometimes when we ask for additions to our dishes, we're told it's not possible because it's not in the register system. The staff often look a bit confused (likely due to the language barrier) & are very rigid about this. Everyone is kind & polite, just not very proactive in finding solutions. I even politely suggested they check with their manager, but the cashier just looked at me with a big question mark & didn't respond, which made the situation a bit awkward.

That said, the food is genuinely excellent & the atmosphere is lovely, so I'd definitely come back & hope to see things improve over time.

Typically I love the Onigiri shops in the city, super respectful employees & tasty food, but at the Mont Royal location there is one employee (the white girl) that ruins the experience for me every time. She moves so slowly no matter how long the line is & whenever she makes the rice it's overcooked. I know when shes working before even going in into the shop because she rarely ever picks up the ringing phone. (The other girls that work here are very kind, fast, & good at the job)
