Review Summary

Reviews of Onigiri Shop show a generally positive impression of flavorful onigiri, a wide variety of fillings including vegetarian options, and good value, with many customers noting fresh ingredients, neat preparation, and fast friendly service. The dining experience is praised for helpful guidance through the menu and attentive staff, but several visits raise concerns about inconsistency between dine in and takeout, with rice sometimes undercooked or bland, fillings dry or not as flavorful as before, and occasional misorders or items missing. Several critics highlight packaging and practicality issues for takeout and some episodes of unprofessionalism or miscommunication, alongside a few strong warnings about reliability. Despite these issues, many reviewers still recommend Onigiri Shop and describe a welcoming atmosphere, high flavor potential, and plans to return, while others urge the owners to address order accuracy and staff professionalism.

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...

I experienced my first Onigiri here. It was so flavourful. I really liked it. I'll come back for sure!

Les onigiri que j'ai essayé étaient super bons! J'ai essayé le Saumon de luxe & le Mont Fuji trop trop bon!!! Les deux personnes qui travaillent là-bas sont gentils & accommodants. J'ai demandé le dalgona latte sans la crème & la fille me l'a préparé j'ai beaucoup apprécié 😊 je recommande cette place & j'y retournerai sûrement.

Favorite place to go to when craving onigiri! Affordable & good quality fish

Je suis allée commander sur place & j'ai spécifié une allergie aux crevettes. Le caissier a demandé à la préparatrice de changer ses gants au cas où , ce qu'elle a rechigné à faire. Je lui ai expliqué, de façon très gentille, que j'apprécierais vraiment qu'elle change ses gants pour être sure d'éviter une contamination. Elle ne m'a même pas regardé, a répondu à son collègue de façon bête: bah pourquoi je dois les changer???. Il a fallu insister d'autant plus quand je l'ai vu toucher ses cheveux avec ses gants!!! De plus, les onigiris s'effondraient totalement dans la boîte, partant en charpie & les deux jeunes n'étaient vraiment pas professionnels: pas souriants, nonchalant, l'air de ne pas savoir ce qu'ils faisaient là!!! Par expérience, La marchandise n'a rien à voir lorsque ce sont les autres membres du staff qui s'occupe de la confection!!

Onigiri are okay, sort of bland & fall apart really easily. Mini ramen seemed to be missing ingredients. 6,99 for a very tiny piece of yuzu cheesecake. Tuna was probably the best.

Onigiri vraiment délicieux !
J enlève juste une petite étoile pour l'oublie dans ma commande (sauce sesame)

Premiere fois que je teste l'un onigiri ailleurs qu'en Asie!
J'ai pris celui au saumon frais & je l'ai adoré. Mon avis perd une étoile à cause de la présentation.
J'ai choisi cette option à emporter pour manger en tant que snack en me baladant. Cependant, je n'ai pas trouvé la boîte pratique puis j'aurai presque eu besoin d'une paire de baguettes ou d'une fourchette pour le finir. A chaque bouchée, plus de riz & de morceaux de saumon se détachaient.
Je recommande & j'y reviendrai c'est certain! J'adore ces saveurs! Mais je m'attendais à plus pratique manger.

The onigiri themselves are large (good) but a little bland...

I really dislike being forced to tip. This was takeout so the fact that the cashier had to take my order & then, 10 minutes later, hand it to me, in my book, shouldn't require a tip. I will often leave a token amount of my own choosing but the credit card machine only presented 10, 15, & 20 percent options. The cashier was quite blasé so I didn't really feel like paying extra & left feeling annoyed.

Service was good. The cashier was polite & our food was ready in just a few minutes.

Unfortunately, the onigiri was very bland. The portion was quite large; I will give them that, but the spicy tuna had minimal flavour & absolutely no spice.

It also smelled pretty strongly of fish inside the restaurant. I realize that most of their dishes are made with fish, but fresh raw fish shouldn't make the store reek.

Not awful, but probably won't be going again.

Great food! However, this makes two times in a row that we have ordered the edamame, paid for it, & did not receive it. Check your bags!

Ouvert depuis 2 mois, je n'étais pas encore venue. Une belle surprise! Un excellent snack. Délicieux onigiris & personnel super sympathique. Un bel ajout à la rue Wellington!

La nourriture & le lieu sont mignons & ça goûte excessivement bon.
Cependant, le staff manque de professionnalisme, avec l'emploi d'un langage grossier devant les clients qui attendent de passer leur commande.

Visited today, onigiri was good, unfortunately they mixed our order & the miso soup was cold. The service needs to improve a lot
