A heads-up for regular customers: sets mean smaller portions! I buy individual onigiri here all the time (usually 3–4 pieces). I’ve always been happy with them — good size, great taste, and consistent quality. Today I came in and decided to get a large set of 12 onigiri (3 boxes with 4 pieces each), and it was a complete disappointment. The onigiri in the set were visibly about 1.5 times smaller than usual. As you can see in the photos, the plastic containers used are identical — in other photos, 3 standard-sized onigiri completely fill up the box with no extra room, whereas mine were so small that all 4 fit inside easily! It seems like the place decided to cut corners and is just serving "mini versions" instead of a good-value combo. It's really disappointing to see regular customers get shrunk-down portions like this. I definitely won't be buying sets here again and wouldn't recommend them to anyone else.
What guests say about Onigiri Shop
Onigiri Shop seems to be a small, simple, and welcoming spot, often praised for the freshness of the ingredients and friendly service. Reviews highlight tasty, filling onigiri, with a good variety of fillings and convenient takeout options. A few customers, however, find some portions too large and mention that the dining room is small, so it’s mostly a good choice for a quick meal or takeout.
Reviews / Ratings for Onigiri Shop
The Fiji was soo good if I could have it every other day I would the miso sop was really good to greet service.
so delicious! food was fresh and the service was great. cute little seating area and great music as well.
This is the best place for the most fresh onigiris. Great price, and flavors are so good. Always love the raw tuna and raw salmon. Small for inside seating ,always take away
Onigiri shop on Monkland is a nice little addition to the neighborhood. Fresh, simple, and well made, a good spot to grab a quick and satisfying bite. Nice variety of fillings so there's something for different tastes. Great option if you're after something lighter but still filling, worth a visit.
Very nice workers , would def recommend going in summer as they have a 2 onigiri plus a drink combo. And wow the coconut matcha drink was so good and the ingredients for the onigiri were very fresh!
Love this onigiri place . Always fresh .
I had lunch at Onogiri Shop and took the combo with mini ramen, miso soup, and two onigiris. Everything was very good and the service was friendly. I enjoyed sitting on the terrace on a sunny day.
Great little cozy shop. Helpful staff and very filling food. I ordered for takeout. Only took a couple of minutes for an order of 6 onigiris.
The staff were so kind and welcoming. The onigiri were the best I've ever had - and they were expertly made. I have not had the same experience at any other such restaurant. 10/10
Rather disappointed, It’s not Korean/Japanese rice. The round rice will be better.
Big fresh 🍙 rice balls; nice box. Love the Fuji mountain! Highly recommended!
Incredible lunch spot! Delicious and filling $5 onigiri in a neighbourhood that’s generally quite expensive. Only note I’d have is the staff evidently didn’t know what “gluten free” meant. There are lots of gluten-intolerant folks around that would love to know this!
