" My sushi experience was pleasant overall, though not without some quirks. The service could be a bit slow when it gets busy, and the teriyaki chicken just missed the mark in terms of flavor. However, the rolls were fresh and enjoyable. I think I just visited on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'd heard mixed reviews about Shiki, but I had to try it myself. Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed a warm atmosphere, and the staff were welcoming. We started with the agedashi tofu, which was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. The sushi rolls we ordered were fresh and had a range of unique flavors. I would say it's definitely a restaurant for sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Shiki for a family dinner, and it was a great decision. The kids loved the bento boxes, and I was impressed by the variety on the menu. The honey crunch roll is a must-try! It's like nothing I've had before, a delightful fusion. The service was friendly, making our experience even better. The cozy ambiance made it feel like a true neighborhood spot. We will definitely be coming back soon to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Shiki was fantastic! The sushi rolls were incredibly fresh and the flavors were on point. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. I especially loved the spicy tuna roll and the dragon roll; both were delicious. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shiki blew my expectations out of the water! The sushi was fresh, the flavors were vibrant, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality offered. My favorites were the rainbow roll and the salmon nigiri, both made with top-notch ingredients. I also appreciated the knowledgeable staff who guided me through some of their specialties. Will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Shiki was not what I was expecting. Although the sushi was fresh, it seemed understaffed and I had to wait a long time for service. The atmosphere was nice, but my appetite was dulled by the lengthy waits. It might be worth a second chance on a quieter day. " (*Curated Review*)

" A cute little spot with decent Japanese cuisine. I tried their tempura which was light and crispy. The sushi, however, was average in taste. But the welcoming staff and the relaxed vibe made the dining experience pleasant overall. It’s a good option if you’re in the area, but I may not seek it out specifically. " (*Curated Review*)
