Shiki Sushi

We Love this place. Quality Sushi in a classic style without all the creamy mayo dressings. Takeout platters are a great value and they are flexible with substitutions. It’s always our first choice.

Sushi is back and better than ever! After transforming to a Korean only restaurant for about a year, now Shi ki is both Korean and Japanese. They have two menus. We were ecstatic to see the sushi sign go back up on the weekend. We went there on Tuesday night and we weren’t disappointed. The sushi is even better than before but no longer all you can eat. Thank you Shi ki!

I was just at Shiki. The service was great and hand rolls is one of the best I had around town. Couple of bad things. The menu selections are not that great and they limit certain items such as sashimi, shrimp tempura, etc. No eel or unagi in their dinner menu. I will not return again considering the price I paid for the menu selections.

Great take away trays. Always fresh, skillfully prepared and ready on time. Staff is also very friendly.

Shiki Sushi is one of the worst joints i’ve ever been too. Its in a great location for me, but I’ve been there twice and i will never go back again.
I went there for brunch the first time with two of my friends. the service was amazing, and the japanese plum wine was delicious. ALSO THEY SERVE THE SUSHI IN BOATS! That was awesome.
But thats where the buck stops.
In the two times i’ve been there, i’ve found that
1. The amount of rice they put into their maki rolls is disgusting. You can barely see any of the other toppings. I guess their goal is to try and fill you up on rice so you dont cost them to much.
2. We ordered the chicken teriyaki… i have never ever in my life had chicken teriyaki that tasted like… despair.
3. Not against the restaurant, but both times I was there, there were some sketchy patrons.
I’m sorry Shiki, i gave you two tries. But you’re not worth it,

So now i’m getting into the bad reviews.
Shiki used to be awesome. They cared about health (low sodium everything) and their food quality and presentation was good.
Then they got greedy i guess.
and then they started cutting back on everything.
And then they limited the number of Kalbi a person can eat to 5 pieces.
This was the final straw.
I’m never going back.
One of my best friends who lives in Chicago loves this place. He makes it a point to eat here atleast 3 times during his visits. Even he gets why it’s shit now.

This is one of those places that’s hit or miss. Sometimes the food is good — sometimes its not.
Shiki is a sit down all-​you-​can-​eat sushi restaurant, and while the sushi is consistently good, the cooked food can be a gamble.
My family, friends and I have been going there (mainly for the sushi), since it opened a few years ago, but there have been numerous occasions where the food that we ordered from the kitchen (such as the chicken or pork katsu) was over-​fried to the point where it was almost burnt, making it tough and inedible.
The tempura batter has at times been doughy, and their seaweed salad (which I normally love) is so slimy, that I have stopped ordering it from there!
Having said that, there are days when the food is very good. I guess it just depends on who’s preparing the food when you go there. The wait staff and owners are also nice, so that’s a plus.
Another plus is their Jap Chai (a delicious clear noodle made from sweet potatos), which is hard to find in most sushi places.
