Onigiri Shop receives praise for generous portions, fresh ingredients, and friendly, attentive service that many describe as warm and welcoming; guests highlight a wide range of fillings and good value, making it a reliable spot for a quick and satisfying meal. The atmosphere is often described as cozy, suitable for casual meals and for a special night out, with many noting high quality and care in presentation. Some criticisms arise about inconsistency in preparation, such as onigiris that are too rice heavy, fillings not as balanced as expected, and textures that can be dry or soggy when certain fillings are used; a few diners also mention kitchen distractions like phones and occasional language barriers in service. Overall, Onigiri Shop is frequently recommended for its fresh taste and friendly staff, with caveats depending on time and specific orders.
Nothing too crazy here, pretty ordinary overall. I found it lacked a bit of flavor, but for $5, it's hard to complain too much. Good for a quick, budget-friendly bite.

The girl working the shift did a great job, the onigiri were generous & delicious & she was very friendly.
However leaving her alone in the shop to handle the taking of the orders, the preparation & the serving is a bit ridiculous. Definitely seems like a job for two.

Bien mais ce serait apprécié que les employés ne soient pas collé à leur téléphone en cuisine… c'est censé être un environnement propre & désinfecté. Imaginez qu'ils peuvent être sur des toilettes en train de scroller sur tik tok & 2 sec après ils sont dans la cuisine à scroller sur ce même téléphone.
Je comprendrai jamais comment on peut tolérer d'avoir même son téléphone sur soi lorsqu'on travail en cuisine.

Le personnel est super accueillant & gentil !
Beaucoup de choix de garnitures pour les onigiri, c'etait délicieux je recommande
Seulement 30$ pour 4 onigiris & une sauce tips inclu
Worst experience. Just greedy for money. Maybe hire more staff & treat/pay them better so they can work better & faster instead of pressuring them. I came with my husband & it was horrible compared to other onigiri locations.
Trust me guys please do not go here !! Worst onigiri shop in montreal as one time I went there & the owner who is a body builder had some anger issues & was totally mistreating the employees. Due to his presence our onigiri had to pay a price. But the inner staff looked good.
The nicest front desk lady in the whole entire restaurant industry! Warmth, smile & politeness out of this world. Steals the spotlight right of the onigiri's. Highly recommend!
