Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is widely recognized as an affordable and convenient spot for a quick bite, often praised for its generous portions and fresh ingredients. Many customers highlight the friendly and attentive nature of the staff, frequently describing the service as exceptional and welcoming. While the quality of the onigiri is frequently celebrated for its taste and texture, experiences can be inconsistent, with some patrons noting issues regarding rice-to-filling ratios, occasional seasoning gaps, or concerns about kitchen hygiene and noise levels. Despite these mixed reviews, the restaurant remains a popular choice for many, especially for those seeking a budget-friendly and satisfying meal, though some suggest that consistency across different locations and shifts could be improved.

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.

Is a nice lunch spot for A quick bite, very affordable & tasty portions, very generous. The staff were polite but seemed easily flustered. Overall recommend 😊🍙

I had a fresh spicy Tuna from Onigiri Shop at a café earlier this year, & it was delicious.

In comparison, the onigiri at this location was a disaster. Perhaps at this particular hour, the staff were inexperienced, but what they served was borderline inedible.

I ordered the spicy salmon & was recommended the Ebi Tempura. Setting aside the presentation, which was a quickly wrapped ball of rice that didn't match the takeaway images, the taste, in my opinion is the most important, & it was lacking. The onigiri also fell apart while I was trying to eat it, which made the experience frustrating.

The spicy salmon filling itself was good, however, it was wrapped in the equivalent of three portions of rice. I had to remove the excess rice to make the meal enjoyable.

The Ebi Tempura was essentially a greasy mayo rice ball, with the same excessive amount of rice, & its presentation was also disappointing.

As I could have made two more onigiri with the leftover rice on my plate, I believe new workers would benefit from using an onigiri mold or something similar to learn the correct rice-to-filling ratio.

Overall, a thoroughly disappointing experience, & I'm unsure if I will return anytime soon.
