" As a sushi enthusiast, I was excited to try Shiku Sushi based on recommendations. The restaurant did not disappoint! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly. I ordered several rolls, and every single one was delicious. The freshness of the fish was evident, especially in the nigiri and sashimi. I also appreciated the attentive service, even while busy. I’ll definitely be returning whenever I’m in Seattle! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shiku Sushi blew my taste buds away! Everything we ordered was made with extremely fresh ingredients. We started with the Sasquatch and Ninja rolls, both of which were superb. I also tried the chefs choice nigiri, which was the highlight of my meal. While the service was a bit slower than I would have liked—understandable given how busy they were—the staff was attentive and friendly. Lastly, the cozy setting adds to the overall experience, making you feel at home. I can't wait to come back and introduce my family to this amazing place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great experience at Shiku, though I thought their sushi was a tad overpriced for what it was. The taste was really good, but I’ve had better elsewhere. The ambiance was nice, and the staff was friendly, but I think they could have better-organized service during busy times. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I might try other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our time at Shiku Sushi! From the moment we entered, we felt welcomed. The staff was super friendly, and the sushi was beyond fresh. I was especially impressed with the variety of specialty rolls they offer. I highly recommend trying their cocktails; they pair perfectly with your meal! It’s a fantastic little gem in Ballard. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to try out Shiku on our recent trip, and we were not disappointed! We ordered a variety of rolls and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The seating area was comfortable, and the staff was incredibly helpful in making recommendations. One of the highlights was definitely the happy hour offerings. Just be prepared for a possible wait during peak hours, as it gets quite busy. All in all, a wonderful dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Shiku last week and had an awesome time! The atmosphere was so welcoming, and the food was delicious! We ordered a ton of different rolls to share, and everything was impressive. The spicy tuna roll definitely stood out for its flavors. Only downside was that the service was a little slow when we needed to place our orders, but it didn't ruin our experience too much; would happily return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I kept hearing about Shiku Sushi, so I decided to check it out. While I appreciated the intimate atmosphere and friendly staff, my experience fell a bit flat. The miso soup lacked flavor, and the rolls that I had just didn’t match the hype I heard. The fish was fresh, but overall, I don't think I would return based on my first visit. Perhaps it was an off day, but I was left wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)
