Shiki

The young wait staff are a little bit oblivious and can give you grief for an attitude. The seat by the door is worse and it is very cold when people open the door coming in and out. I noticed people were wrapping up their dinner and I asked if I could be moved there once they leave since I was expecting female company. The young lady would not allow it so I sat there. There were other four tops available, but I dare not to ask. The next couple that comes in, she sees them in the four top. Another pair come in and they are allowed to go sit at the inside seats at the bar whereas I asked if someone leaves can I move to a warmer spot which I was not allowed. It was very annoying to see people just walk in and instantly be granted both of those things even though I expressed my concerns about

As someone who is always searching for great Japanese food, from hole-in-the-wall spots to Michelin counters, after visiting Shiki tonight it’s clear why the walls are lined with autographs from legendary Seattle athletes and Japanese icons like Ichiro. We ordered 18 pieces of nigiri (really good value) and each piece was generous in size with fresh fish and a good amount of wasabi. Thankfully I love wasabi. I also ordered the oden because I was reminiscing about my time in Kyoto, and it absolutely took me back! Perfect dish during the winter weather. If you know Japan, this place will resonate with you. Chef Ken is an authentic and talented sushi chef who has truly transported a piece of Japan to Seattle. The service was friendly, attentive, and warm. It is an unassuming spot and a neig

This is not acceptable. We ordered uni bowl to go. And found rotten spoiled uni hidden underneath the fresh one. We called the store and they refused to admit the problem with the food. Very disappointed. This is a serious food safety issue !

This is my third time visiting Shiki, and I have to say I was very disappointed tonight. My first visit was fine. The second time, the sashimi quality was impressive — I even tried the Japanese sea urchin and it was great. But tonight, we found something dirty and sticky on the toro sushi. When we asked the waiter to check, he insisted it was wasabi — but clearly, it was not. It looked dark and muddy, definitely nothing like wasabi. Then the owner said it was onion, which it obviously wasn’t — onion isn’t muddy or sticky. In the end, no one could tell us what it actually was. Instead of sincerely apologizing or checking it carefully, they kept arguing that it wasn’t something dirty and that the fish was fresh. We understand they may buy fresh fish daily, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossib

The sushi was very fresh. The tempura was very good - thinly battered and super crispy. The chicken katsu and its sauce were very good. The back cod we had that day was unfortunately not good - it tasted bitter and had some wierd fishiness. We complained and got another one that tasted the same. Eventually they took this dish off the check which we appreciated. The service was good except for when we asked for water twice and eventually just didn’t get the water refilled. 😂
