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.

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!
