We've always enjoyed Shiki's food and have been frequenting this restaurant for about 10+ years. We've always had great sushi, great miso soup, salad, and love their dressing. If you want good sushi, then Shiki is one of the best in London. BUT...the atmosphere is terrible, lighting is terrible, no music. The restaurant is in great need of some major cleaning and renovations. It smells of oil and is filthy. We still eat here or we pick it up because we like their sushi but I think this restaurant could be a lot busier and do very well for themselves if they looked after the restaurant itself. The waitress was great and I would have given her a 5 but apparently the cooks were bored and made everything at once. We got our soup, salad and meal all at once which is one of my biggest pet peeves! It happened to the table next to us as well and the couple complained. Why do restaurants do this? I wasn't happy but I really enjoyed the food and will be back. I really hope the owner reads this review because it would be great to visit this restaurants again and the place is cleaned up and they learn how to serve a meal properly.
Been many times and always a great meal. Authentic Japanese food and amazing sushi and tempura. Always greeted with kind hostesses and food is quick and delicious. Highly recommended!
We had the hibachi scallop special and from the first bite, we knew we were in for a treat. Moments later our deluxe "sushi A" sampler came to the table. The fish was fresh and tasty, the sticky rice seasoned appropriately. As this was our first time, we tried to sampler in order to get an idea as to what to expect from other sushi on the menu. It was predictably tame, unfortunately, but the quality was superb. We'll be back to try a little of the more 'daring' varieties on the menu - although admittedly, their selection is more modest than I'd like. They do offer shabu-shabu on the menu, though, something a little more difficult to find outside of a major metropolitan area. We'll have to give that a try one day, too. A nice place to take company, I think, if they're into sushi.
The sushi here makes you forget your in London and not in Toronto or BC. I have tried a lot of different sushi places in London and have to say I was not very impressed, that is until I found this place. The sushi is fresh the selection is large and more importantly it is cut and prepared properly. Thank you Shiki.
