Onigiri Shop (Marché Jean Talon)

Awesome and cozy place. Employees very nice and food amazing. I like the Mont Fuji and the fresh salmon. Food is fresh.Quality is not compromised even though the price is only $4.99. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I had a fresh spicy Tuna from Onigiri Shop at a café earlier this year, and it was delicious.

In comparison, the onigiri at this location was a disaster. Perhaps at this particular hour, the staff were inexperienced, but what they served was borderline inedible.

I ordered the spicy salmon and was recommended the Ebi Tempura. Setting aside the presentation, which was a quickly wrapped ball of rice that didn't match the takeaway images, the taste, in my opinion is the most important, and it was lacking. The onigiri also fell apart while I was trying to eat it, which made the experience frustrating.

The spicy salmon filling itself was good, however, it was wrapped in the equivalent of three portions of rice. I had to remove the excess rice to make the meal enjoyable.

The Ebi Tempura was essentially a greasy mayo rice ball, with the same excessive amount of rice, and its presentation was also disappointing.

As I could have made two more onigiri with the leftover rice on my plate, I believe new workers would benefit from using an onigiri mold or something similar to learn the correct rice-to-filling ratio.

Overall, a thoroughly disappointing experience, and I'm unsure if I will return anytime soon.

The edamame are deep fried... You should write it on the DoorDash menu, because they usually come steamed and people who expect that (like myself) will be disappointed when they receive them.

The staff are warm and energetic, the ratio of quality food to cost cannot be beat, and I wish I could eat this every day! If I ever win the lottery, I will. Would recommend to everyone!

These Onigiri are delicious, well priced, and they have some interesting non - traditional variations. Would definitely have more next time I'm in the city.

I was really disappointed with this onigiri shop. Unlike other places where the rice is flavorful and the filling generous, here the onigiris were mostly just dry, bland rice with barely any filling inside. It felt like they completely missed what makes onigiri enjoyable. Definitely not worth it compared to other spots I’ve tried.

Very good experience there, the food was fresh and very filling. The price very reasonable. Finally, the personnel was charming and helpful. I'll go back for sure.
