The Jersey roll was highly recommended by both waitstaff servicing the bar; I found it slightly too saucy for my liking, but the rest of the execution was there.

Parking can be harder to find when busy as there is street parking and 4-5 in the inside area SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT: Lots of seating inside and out and has a very unique feel and look to it, it can seem a bit run down and not as upscale. Service was great, server came by to explain new menu items and specials for today and was very detailed. FOOD: The Okonomiyaki is the main thing to try here and I believe what got them their Michelin Star. I will say, I would have this everyday if I could!!! The Graw Pow was ok and Dumplings are very small and other plates are small in size. I would love to try the other menu items but it seems like a great place for a first-timer in the area.

Going that extra step certainly did not go unnoticed and something I value in a dining experience. First of all-- the matcha mocktail was a wonderful opener to our evening. We ordered the truffle edamame (our favorite), the chef's choice nigiri which was incredibly fresh, the salmon & lemon roll (a must order), and the spider roll. My partner said the mochi was the best he's ever had. We highly recommend this dining experience not only for the exceptional service but for the quality in every dish.

As a lychee martini lover, they're harder to find the further away from Miami I get so I was so happy to see it here on the menu!! Several of the girls in our group decided we would split the sushi boat and it was a great decision. We all picked rolls we wanted and they came out so pretty and tasted really fresh. Some other girls ordered their own dishes and enjoyed them as well. One girl in our group ordered the birria ramen and she loved it. She said it was SPICY and the best ramen she's ever had. As a non- spicy person, I had to take her word for how good it was. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area! We were dressed up but it seems pretty casual.

We ended up here at Mama Kims and got seafood soup, jajamyeong, and some spicy pork. It's a self serve experience, you go up and get your own menu at the register, grab a table yourself, and order at the register. If you are dining in, they give you a dine-in number which they will use to determine the table you are sitting at. You also clean up yourself. So this isn't much of a service experience, but it is great if you are craving korean food. Low key inside was dark and kinda ghetto and there were flies bugging us, but the food was good and the portion was good. A very casual place to just chill, vibe and eat nonetheless. Theres also plenty of seating in the fornt and the back.

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.

Very limited seating across the room but we luckily we snagged a reservation. Our server was very friendly and went over some specials with us before taking our drink orders and inquired about allergies. We went family style and started with the crispy tuna rice, marinated cucumbers, dumplings and pork bao. We added on a few rolls and ended with the sesame lamb noodles and duck fried rice. The dumplings were unique with this crispy shell on top and had a creamier sauce. We did have to ask for soy sauce which is usually something we expect to get right away after ordering sushi. He gave us one dish of soy instead of all of our own which I thought was weird so we asked for more. I enjoyed the textures of the dumplings but I felt the sauce lacked a bit in flavor to complement the dumplings. Crispy rice looked appealing but we were all disappointed with the lack of flavor, especially in the tuna mixture alright the textures were on point. The sushi rolls were made well and you get about 5 bigger pieces. The best thing we had were the cucumbers! Simple and delicious, packed with flavor. The sesame lamb noodles were also prepared well, and had nice flavors overall that were unique. We spent about $200 per couple which I felt was quite steep for the amount of food we got, but overall I would say we enjoyed ourselves but a few things just fell short on flavors.
