★★★★☆ 4.0 Mariya Dan · Sep 2025

Shokitini has the best sushi I've ever had! And it's certainly one of our favorite restaurants in Athens. The sushi is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant is also gorgeous, with a dark ambience and a cool upstairs area. Our favorites are the red dragon roll, ahi hawaiian, and spicy tuna roll! UPDATE: went again, and they let me modify my sushi roll with no difficulty at all. The miso soup was perfectly brothy and warm. The chocolate truffle dessert is not great. It is cheap at only $6, but the icecream tastes like its been sitting in the freezer and is not very flavorful.

Came in hungry and left impressed across the board. This place absolutely delivers on creative rolls, flavor balance, and vibe. We started with miso soup, which was clean, savory, and exactly what you want as a warm-up — simple, comforting, and well done. Now the rolls… 🔥 🥇 Sumo Roll (winner of the night) Deep-fried roll loaded with salmon, crab stick, cucumber, and avocado, topped with masago and eel sauce. Crispy on the outside, rich and satisfying inside — this one hits every texture note and absolutely earns the #1 spot. 🥈 Surf & Turf Roll A bold combo of deep-fried shrimp and grilled sirloin steak, paired with avocado and cucumber, then finished with sauce. This roll is hearty, savory, and packed with flavor — a close second and a must-order if you like big, indulgent rolls. Righ

Great quality fish!! Very oily and big portions. The spicy kimchi roll was very fun and unique too, would recommend.

Always such a great time. We got the private karaoke room which is a blast. Sushi and hibachi both are always so good! Our server Caroline was amazing.
