Il y a une lacune de manipulation lors de la mise en forme du onigiri.
Inconsistence d'épaisseur & de forme. Il y a des zones où il y avait pas de'filling' & rien que du riz. Le riz en tant que telle était trop sec, peut-être qu'il y avait un mauvais dosage d'eau où le riz a été laissé trop longtemps. Voir photo pour référence

14 Shitake, S6 perles de mer & 12 vege mix étaient bien assaisonnés. Mais le boeuf 7 avait un mauvais assaisonement, ça gouté sec & avait très peu de saveur. (mangé 1 heure après la commande)

Un peu déçu si je compare aux onigiri de Kibo Marché de toronto.

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.

Des prix raisonnables pour de bons gros onigiris bien garnis. Le seul problème: choisir…

Les inogiri sont bons, mais ils annoncent une promotion d'été à l'extérieur & à la
caisse. Lorsque j'ai voulu la commander, on m'a dit que ce n'était pas encore disponible & que ce n'était que pour informer les gens. Aucune date ou mention n'était inscrite sur la promotion disant que ce n'était pas disponible ou qu'il y avait une date de début. Aussi, le service était unilingue en anglais.

La bouffe est correct. Ce n'est par contre pas le même niveau d'experience que celui dans le Mile End ou de NDG ( MONKLAND). C'est d'avantage un fast food. Impossible de manger à l'interieur avec le bruit de la climatisation & du frigidaire. On est allé à la terrasse du marché Jean-Talon qui a sauvé la mise. Impossible d'avoir une conversation à l'intérieur avec ce bruit. On à de la difficulté à entre le beau petit Marshall.Dommage.
