Review Summary

Onigiri Shop is widely recognized as a go-to spot in Verdun for affordable, delicious, and fresh onigiri, with many customers praising the generous portions and the authentic quality of the rice and fillings. While numerous reviewers highlight the friendly, fast, and professional service they have received, there is also a significant number of reports mentioning inconsistencies in food quality, such as issues with rice texture, bland flavors, or incorrect orders. A recurring theme in the feedback involves the atmosphere and service standards, where some visitors have expressed frustration over unprofessional behavior from staff, long wait times, or difficulties with takeout packaging. Despite these mixed experiences, the restaurant remains a popular choice for those seeking a quick and tasty snack, though many customers suggest that improvements in operational consistency and staff training would greatly enhance the overall experience.

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.

Je suis très déchiré en écrivant cet avis. Voici le pourquoi:
Première visite, service hors pair + Onigiri exceptionellement délicieux.
Aujourd'hui, dimanche le 11 janvier, midi: 35 minutes après l'avoir placé, je suis toujours à attendre ma commande.
Les 2 employés présent démontrent des signes flagrant de manque de professionalisme. Ils ne s'aident pas, s'écoeurent & s'envoient promener devant la clientèle. Aucune coésion, ils ne respectent pas l'ordre des commandes.
C'est malheureux, je laisse un 4 étoiles car je souhaite encourager ces entreprises mais ça doit être souligné & j'espère que les proprios feront un suivi.
Le plus insultant, le pourboire laissé quand on paie... il y a maintenant 45 minutes.
&... ils se sont trompé dans ma commande à emporter.

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.

Great onigiri for a good price, can get 3 onigiri (2 simple & 1 fusion) + a drink for less than 20$. The onigiri are quite filling & aren't the small one you would imagine from movies or shows.
