" The atmosphere of Shiki was really lovely. It felt modern without being over the top. The food was exceptionally fresh, and my broth selection was vibrant and filled with interesting spices and flavors. I particularly loved how warm and attentive the staff were; they made me feel welcomed. That said, I found the portion sizes to be rather small for what you paid for. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would likely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm torn about my experience at Shiki Shabu Shabu. The broth was nice, light and refreshing. I tried the seafood-focused dipping options which were quite tasty, but I expected a bit more variety based on the prices. Service could have been better; our waiter seemed distracted. That said, the atmosphere itself was lovely—it’s clear a lot of thought went into the design. I might revisit in hopes of a better experience next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! I had Shiki on my list for ages, and it lived up to the hype! The menu highlights authentic Japanese hot pot. I found their attention to detail in the broths—so rich and varied. While the prices were a touch high, the quality of the ingredients made it worthwhile. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful. I’ll be recommending Shiki to all my friends who come to Waltham! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shiki Shabu Shabu opened up to rave reviews, and I finally understood why after my visit. The place radiates comfort with its muted decor and welcoming staff. The lamb and beef selection was satisfying and came tender. I also enjoyed the explanations provided by our server on how to best enjoy the hot pot experience. The only con? The pricing does lean on the higher side if you’re sampling different items. Overall, a delightful experience—I’ll return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went out to celebrate a friend's birthday at Shiki. The entire experience was awesome—from the moment we walked in until we left, feeling full and happy. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and the food was outstanding! All the ingredients tasted fresh, and the broths were flavorful to the last drop. My only complaint would be the price of extras; they can really add up. However, the dining experience was delightful overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" The hot pot at Shiki was extremely tasty, yet I found the prices to be slightly high for what you get. While the meat was high-quality and flavorful, the portion sizes left something to be desired. The atmosphere was lively but relaxed, which was perfect for a night out. The staff was friendly, though we did wait a bit longer than expected for our drinks. Overall, I would return, but I hope to see better portion size in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shiki Shabu Shabu offers an enjoyable dining experience, with beautiful interior design and attentive staff. The food was tasty, especially the higher-end beef and pork selections. However, some flavors felt a bit muted for my taste. Still, the fresh ingredients make up for it. The costs are a little high given the portion sizes, but the overall experience is commendable. I would consider returning again soon. " (*Curated Review*)
