Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is praised for tasty and affordable onigiri and for friendly, fast service, with customers appreciating helpful recommendations and a neat presentation, and the place described as cute and inviting; experiences vary, with some dishes having too much rice relative to the filling, rice texture issues, or fillings that lack flavor, and a few visits report misorders, packaging problems, or rice that is undercooked or overcooked, along with occasional unprofessional service, suggesting that while the food can be excellent, consistency could be improved.

I'm amazed with the onigiris here. Mind you, i just came from my trip in Japan about a week ago & i was missing this 🥲. So i came accross this shop. & WOW. Rice was perfectly cooked & perfectly seasonned. The salmon filling was generous, well seasonned & does not even need soy sauce. & 4.99 each? Pretty good. Honestly a pearl at Verdun. Definetly going back to try theyre whole menu.

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!

The flavor is great! I ordered the chicken with mayonnaise & it had way too much rice compared to the filling. But that's just my personal opinion; I would definitely go back again

was really excited to try the onigiri in Verdun - I'd been wanting to taste them for a while. Unfortunately, we really didn't like them. We found there was way too much rice compared to the filling, & overall they were lacking flavor. Honestly, they just weren't very good.

That said, I do want to mention that the guys who served us were very, very, very nice & genuinely kind. The service itself was great.

We tried them a few months ago, so maybe things have changed since then - I'm not sure - but for us, the taste just wasn't there.

My husband went to this location in person a few weeks ago & came home with the most delicious spicy tuna & Korean chicken onigiri. I ordered on Uber eats about 30 min ago, since I couldn't go in person & to say we were disappointed would be an understatement. We ordered the same thing as the first time & decided to try the miso beef variation. The rice was more than warm & the filling lacked taste. The texture was also not the same as the first time we went. It's like we ordered from a different spot entirely. We will reconsider going back.

It was my first time here. I ordered 4 classic onigiri with different flavors. They were prepared in front of me neatly & with great attention to detail. The rice had a perfect texture, & the filling was very tasty. The man who served me was kind & friendly. Thank you very much for the pleasant service.

The Onigri rice was undercooked & fell apart. The ramen was tasteless.

The reviews really hyped this place up. & it wasn't necessarily bad, but maybe I was just too excited.
The ratio of rice to filling was overwhelming & each one I had broke open way too easily.
Flavour was good & portion is solid but just put more filling & wrap it tighter.

Rice was overcooked & underseasoned, filling was dry & over salted. The nori was too small for the amount of filling, soggy, & the whole thing fell apart in the container. I went to another onigiri shop last year that was quite good, so not sure what happened here...
