I went in because it looked empty & ordered my vegan bowl but it became clear after some waiting that the two guys working there were preparing other orders of people who already came & left & came back so it took over 30 minutes to receive my food. It was great & good value but don't expect it to be a quick meal. Maybe they need more staff working at once. Their third staff came in later so maybe she just couldn't make it earlier that day. That being said, the staff were chill & polite & the clientele were friendly. I'd return to try the onigris :)

Ordered the avocado & chicken onigiri & they were both quite good. The two guys working on Sunday were doing the best they could with the constant stream of customers, they probably should have had a third person working though. The water/sauce stations were not replenished, tables weren't cleared & some orders were getting mixed up. The interior is nice, but the few tables filled up quickly, at least there was space outside.

April 2026:
I am so disappointed. Last summer, Onigiri Shop was my go-to when I wanted a quick bite. As of recent, the rice is less fresh, the portions are smaller & the fillings have been greatly reduced. In addition, yesterday, I placed my order online & picked it up. 2/5 onigiris had the wrong fillings (I ordered two raw tuna & received two cooked tuna onigiris). I don't think I'll be back here.

June 2025:
Onigiri shop offers a variety of flavors, all equally delicious! I especially enjoyed the eel & salmon onigiri, but all of them were great. The portions are generous & only range between 4.99-7.99$ each. I was completely full after two portions. It takes around 15-20 minutes for the food to be prepared, but it's worth it!
