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've been coming here for about a year now-around 4-5 times a month-& it never disappoints. Great vibe, consistent service, & definitely one of my go-to spots. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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!
Depuis le changement de gestion & de proprietaire le service est vraiment execrable service non courtois & ca a pris 30minute pour recevoir mon seul onigirie en plus des ingredient pas frais je deconseille fortement
This is a very nice place. The guy was very nice & even gave me a spoon ful of something I didn't know yet so I could decide whether I like it before I actually ordered anything. Food was amazing & very affordable. Definitely gonna come here again.
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
