    Wonderful place to celebrate family gatherings. Two birthday girls and welcomed family and guest. We sat in the back area by ourselves so we could be as boisterous as we'd like without bothering other diners. It was a party after all!! Trey was the best server and very friendly. Soup, appetizers, hibachi diners and sushi. All you can eat if you desire. Beef, chicken and shrimp. Also available is al a carte if you don't have a big appetite. Parking is available. But it was a tad crowded since shared parking is with numerous other businesses. Enjoyed by all!!

    This is our new go to place for Sushi and Hibachi. I love the All you can eat and my son loves the Sushi. The dinner prices are a bit high but the lunch prices are great. They are not open on Tuesdays as we learned. We've been twice in the last month. The first time the service was impeccible.. it was during the dinner hour. The second time the service was terrible. It was during the lunch hour. She must have been new but she didn't check on us often enough, never refilled our drinks and messed up our ticket. In the end however, we got all we needed and had the ticket fixed. Everyone has to learn and she looked overwhelmed. The Ambience of the place is nice. Clean and just the right lighting. He tables were big enough for comfort. We go here often so I probably have a prior review of our first visit.

    The best lunch and dinner all you can eat sushi I have had! There are so many rolls to choose from and you can order anything off of the menu, including appetizers, entrées, non-sushi items, specialty rolls, basic rolls, soup and salad! All of the servers there are pretty young, but they are full of life and very energetic. The rolls are delicious and worth every penny. Every time I've gone there it is packed, but the turnover is pretty quick, so there is really never a wait. I wish there was more bar seating.

    Service is always great. I forgot the young man's name. Great service. The lunch buffet was good. It's a buffet in the sense that you can eat until you are full. You order as you go . Sushi, appetizers main entrees and desserts. Everything hot and fresh when brought to your table. It is enjoyable.

    Came here with a friend and couldn't pass up the All You Can Eat for just $25! I mean LEGIT AYCE: appetizers, sushi, entrees. Next time I need to come with a bigger appetite because there were so many things I wanted to try. I was pleasantly surprised with the BANANA ROLL - crunchy banana that gave the roll the perfect subtle hint of banana.

    Everything is great about this spot def my go to lunch spot when eating out, fast friendly service, great food, great price!

    Amazing sushi!! Especially the banana sushi one. The best ever!! I totally recommend it. Lunch all you can eat is $16.00 Not bad for awesome food.

    Fine selection of various Japanese dishes, from fried rice and squid salad, to sushi, sashimi and plenty of rolls. All served in slightly smaller portions and on an eat and order basis. It's AYCE for $ 22.95 at dinner, slightly less at lunch. All they ask is that you be mindful and not over order so as to reduce wastefulness. I left there very satisfied. The staff were courteous and the wait between orders was minimal. If you like sushi and you have a big appetite this place is definitely for you! Note: Sashimi is extra, $.75 per slice, which can add up fast if you're into raw fish without rice.

    If you want a lot of food, then you'd like this. The sushi didn't have much fish but a lot of rice. Not a lot of flavor.

Then on to the issues here are the following: The hostess with the most-ess and the failed system of reservations and lack there of, no matter how far out you plan in accordance becomes a major debacle when arriving and leaves a poor taste in your mouth. Not to mention the huge snarky attitudes and negative undertones received from the hostess's staff. Literally, I witnessed the young black female this past Saturday evening, Kamaya, I believe is her name display a fake disposition, associated with a fake smile and then spoke negatively of patrons behind their backs, under her breath. I get it, they can't control diners who linger around after being serve and or can't control or predict, when they decide to leave so others are able to be seated and served in a timely fashion. But, I would suggest, to always remain very transparent and do not force bogus rules of rushing a party to arrive early and then convey a message that states your table will be held for 10 minutes and then released/ cancelled. When a party, such as ourselves, arrive before time and then are told that your party will not be seated until all parties are INSIDE the building, even though they are trying to find a park in this small parking lot. Finally, all parties of your group are present and accounted for, standing in your face still within the time frame mentioned. Then to be told, you now have a few tables ahead of you and the wait is approximately 20 minutes. Really? But in actuality you and your guests now wait 40 to 45 minutes after your scheduled reservation. All the while witnessing them seat random small parties that walk in after your large group with an actual reservation. I know this because I listened as I stood idly by the hostess desk. One or the management of this establishment need to focus on revamping this failed system and have some of your hostess to work on their attitudes. Last I checked, it is patrons such as myself that keeps them employed and your business successful and thriving. Also, a word to all other patrons, if you desire a table greater than a party of 12, prepare to pay a deposit of $10 pp but you still will probably have to wait for your reserved tables. The only thing that made me come back to this place was a special request from my daughter for her birthday and our amazing Chef Marcelino, and Gee, our server was pretty cool as well. Needless to say, with all of the hoops, unnecessary rules and lack of communication, unwarranted attitudes, rehearsed apologies and lack of organizational skills, it will be a while before we return to this establishment, if at all! There are too many restaurants here in the Low Country who strive for professionalism and actually value their patrons without the blatant disrespect from their hostess desk. I would give, 5 stars for Marcelino and Gee but 1 star for the hostess desk! Do better!

The bar is hidden away in a parking lot where it is difficult to turn into from the other side of the road because of a barrier so you have to make a u turn up the road a little bit. The place itself is kind of small. I sat at the bar but I'm not sure why but it felt a little off. It didn't feel like a normal sushi bar where I felt like I was able to see the chef prepare the food I'm not sure if there was some kind of height disproportion or if the glass with food was blocking the way. The staff was friendly but there did seem to be some kind of miscommunication between the server and the chef when they were doing hand offs on top of the bar. It might be better to do food handoffs at the open corner to the side so the waitress didnt have to reach high and over customers although maybe it is different when it is busy since I was the only one at the bar. The food itself was delicious although I must admit I can't tell the difference between normal sushi. I would rate this as normal sushi. To put things in perspective bad sushi would have dried out rice or fish that tastes a bit off in a bad way. Amazing sushi would be something that just tastes so different but in a good way. Could be a cute casual date spot or even a friend group meet up spot. Keep in mind the space is limited but it shares the menu and space with Taste of Thai next door. I havent been into Taste of Thai yet so I can't talk about the spacing in there.

    We enjoyed our meal at Shiki. The sushi was fresh, and their food and drink menu included a wide…read morerange of standard to premium selections, including fatty tuna, A5 wagyu, and Junmai Daiginjo. I appreciated how they filled their spicy tuna rolls with chunky pieces of fish instead of the usual ground tuna used in other sushi restaurants. Their offerings and methods of preparation, paired with their higher price point, suggests they are a higher end establishment. However, the atmosphere was undoubtedly on the casual side, and their service, although friendly and knowledgeable, exuded a lack of experience and the same attention to detail that they put into their food. This was especially apparent after coming from eating at other restaurants in a similar price bracket, where you can sense the waitstaff had a lot of pride and passion for their craft, and it didn't feel like it was just a job for them. In contrast, our experience at Shiki felt far more transactional, and lacked that "customer obsession" and genuine warmth. That said, it's difficult to judge a restaurant's culture just from a single night, and maybe other customers had a different experience from us. Ultimately, if good sushi is your priority and you are willing to splurge a bit, Shiki meets and even exceeds that bar.

    Living in Charleston, you'd think there would be a sushi spot on every corner with phenomenal…read morefresh-fish options. They exist, but some of the best are so unassuming you can walk right past them. Shiki is exactly that kind of place--a small, warm, inviting restaurant tucked into a strip mall that feels like a neighborhood secret. Loc, our waiter, greeted us as soon as we sat down with water, a friendly welcome, and a helpful walk-through of the menu. We started with wine and sake--always a promising beginning. The first course was seaweed salad with baby octopus, and I could have happily sipped that dressing like a cocktail. Light, bright, perfectly balanced, with tender octopus that added just the right bite. From there we decided to sample our way through the menu and ordered a lineup of rolls: Spicy Yellowtail, Spicy Shiromi, Rainbow, Spider, Lemon Salmon, and Eel. Each one seemed better than the last. The Spicy Shiromi was the clear standout--absolutely spectacular. What really sets Shiki apart is that every roll has its own distinct flavor instead of the one-note sameness you find at so many sushi spots. You can tell real care goes into the preparation. If you're searching for fresh, thoughtful, genuinely delicious sushi, don't overlook this little gem. Shiki is the real deal.

That being said we loved the Yellowtail, and the Baby Romaine was delicious!!! Brisket, was bland and dry, and at $32..a shame to serve. Not sure where the English pea and potatoes were. The sesame noodles were wet, drippy, and had no flavor. We'd go back in a heart beat for dessert. While it wasn't what was supposed to be offered, the passion fruit sorbet and the toasted blueberry/cake compote were sublime. The meals here are to be like a tapas, and shared, which really raises the prices. And since each plate may be one bite each for 4 people, you can see how quickly your bill will climb. Sharing a weekly menu on the website and bring back your amazing cocktail menu would be nice. Folks should try this place for their own opinion, but with so many spots around, twice may be enough for us.
