Superb, very filling portions. Love the agrume water Edit: today I had ramen and onigiri. The ramen miso was not as tasty. I wish corn was disclosed as I have an intolerance. But at the same time I didn’t know that traditional miso has sweet corn especially Sapporo style noodles There was a mistake in my order which happens I am not mad and instead of letting me keep like any other restaurant or to keep it for employees, server took it and threw it away in the trash. I am fine if employees keep for themselves at least it is not wasted and it goes to a tummy. But she throws it away in this economy and cost crisis? Might as well let it for the consumer or employee to consume. At the same you never know if consumer might have a new favourite and come more. Just a bit disappointing.

I love the Onigiri Shop by Concordia but this one is bad. There was someone’s lipstick stain still on my miso soup bowl. The onigiris were not fresh and the spot is just not well kept.

We had been wanting to try Onigiri Shop for some time. We really appreciate that the St-Denis location offers various promotions. It's probably why this location is so well-loved by students and the younger crowd. Here, you order at the counter, receive a pager that beeps when your order is ready, and seat yourself at one of the tables. There aren't too many tables available, however people eat quickly so you shouldn't have to wait more than 15-20 minutes to dine-in. We have tried the classic flavours such as spicy salmon, spicy tuna, Korean fried chicken, and beef miso. Initially we thought 5$ for an onigiri was on the pricier side, however these onigiris are huge, much larger than the standard ones in Japan. We would say two onigiris should be filling enough for one person. The staff was friendly and the onigiri came out fast, within 3–5 minutes. Highly recommend if you’re in the area for a cheap, simple, and yummy meal.

This was a truly ideal experience for us. Needed to grab a quick lunch before getting a bus. Combo included a wonderful stuffed Onigiri ( we had salmon, spiced Tuns and miso beef) all were wonderful- miso soup was beautifully balanced-warm mocha drink was so tasty- had coconut milk in it and was served in an insulated cup so it was still warm after 8 min. All plates bowls and utensils were wood so it felt so high quality. Service very pleasant and clear. Highly recommend!

The shop is simple and no-frills, but clean and comfortable. It wasn’t too crowded when I went. I ordered a Korean fried chicken onigiri and a salmon one. The onigiri are huge, one is already very filling, and two is honestly too much (too good) for someone like me. But they’re so good (I cant stop eating). The rice is cooked perfectly: soft, slightly sticky, not dry at all, wrapped in seaweed with a generous filling in the center. Each onigiri is around $5, which feels very reasonable considering the size. Big, affordable, and satisfying. I also ordered a small ramen with miso broth. It was okay, but the onigiri is really the star here, simple, but peak comfort food. Orders come out fast, around 3–5 minutes. I’ve officially become an onigiri addict after this place. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Montreal, cheap, simple, and delicious. I’ll probably come back a thousand more times whenever I’m in town.

Farshid was so kind and helpful that he accepted, with his team, to prepare my order even though they were about to close. The service was excellent, and everyone was very helpful. Really appreciate the kindness—highly recommended!
