" Such a hidden gem! The cozy atmosphere is matched only by the delicious sushi. The owners are so kind, and their passion for Japanese cuisine really shows. I particularly enjoyed the brown rice, which gives the sushi a different yet delightful flavor profile. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for great sushi in a welcoming environment.

" Perfect little sushi spot! I love that Shikibu focuses on making their dishes authentic and fresh. The couple who runs it clearly takes pride in their cooking.

" A hidden gem! The fish options were fresh and flavorful but what really makes them stand out is that they use brown rice in their sushi. It's healthier without sacrificing taste. Just keep in mind the seating is very limited, so it might be a wait during busy times, but it’s well worth it. " (*Curated Review*)
