" Had a mediocre experience at Shiki. The sushi was fresh, but I felt the rolls were overdone and lacked creativity. The atmosphere seemed cozy, but it could definitely benefit from a little decor update. Service was attentive, yet not overly engaged. Perhaps it was just an off day for them, but I would be willing to try it again to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had my first dining experience at Shiki and I feel compelled to share! The setup is quaint and warm, and the staff were polite and accommodating. I ordered their Chirashi lunch; the fish was flavorful, and the accompanying miso soup complemented it perfectly. Be warned that it can get busy during peak hours; however, the wait was worth it. Definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Shiki was fairly enjoyable. The sushi was tasty and fresh, but the portions could have been slightly larger for the price. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere cozy; perfect for a casual dining experience. I would recommend it to friends looking for a sushi fix. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful dinner at Shiki. The ambiance is charming, and the service attentive. I particularly enjoyed the salmon nigiri and the vegetable tempura, which were both delectable. If you are in the area and looking for a good sushi restaurant, this should be on your list! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shiki Japanese Restaurant is definitely a hidden gem! I was pleasantly surprised by how authentic the food tasted. It's comforting to know they prioritize quality. The miso soup was perfect to warm my appetite, and the lunch specials are reasonable for what you get. Although the wait was a bit longer during peak hours, the staff kept the atmosphere light and cheerful. Overall, a very good experience! " (*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*)
