Shiki

Had an impromptu dinner, and it was delightful. Charming little place that seems to have nailed the basics.

First time here and everything was delicious! Very authentic, cozy atmosphere.

Food is excellent, specially the rolls. Ramen was very comforting. When you enter the restaurant, it feels like you’re in one of the small restaurants in Japan.

Finally ordered takeout, just a few simple rolls (hamachi and a couple spicy ones) and some Nigiri (sake and hamachi). It was wonderful. Very fresh fish. Rice was a great temperature. I’m so grateful this place exists. I wish they were open for lunch.

Food was great; it's very much a traditional Japanese restaurant. They don't have any elaborate rolls but the sushi was high quality. Staff was friendly and attentive. I would recommend getting a reservation ahead of time.

Fantastic Sushi and a friendly staff. The sushi is great, the soup is delicious and even the salad dressing is incredibly tasty. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

[Update] the restaurant is open and I recommend making a reservation if you are planning to visit during the busy hour. You can certainly walk in but sometimes you have to wait a while to get seated. Their menu got a lot smaller but the food still tastes great!

[UPDATE] - THE RESTAURANT IS CLOSED FOR LUNCH. OPENS ONLY FOR DINNER 5-9PM!!
I highly recommend! I can say that this restaurant provides the best Japanese food you can get around here! From appetizer to main course, and sushi, everything tastes good. I visit here almost once to twice every month and I always get satisfied after each meal. The restaurant is small but even when you have to wait, it's definitely worth it. You can try the famous and common Japanese dishes in this restaurant. Get an appetizer, or order your choice of sushi, and have an order of main course dish then it will fill you up! When you order sushi, specify how many you want for each fish.

A very traditional / simple Japanese restaurant that has great service and great food. This isn't a place to grab crazy / unique sushi rolls. They perfected simple but delicious ramen and sushi. Under $50 for 2

Simple, exquisitely prepared sushi. The fresh ingredients really shine. Better than a lot of sushi I even had in Japan. The interior is very clean though some of the furniture is a little worn out.

Yummy food! We had curry, ramen, sushi and ice cream everything was great! Sushi was fresh! Service was spot on! Restaurant was clean! Prices were reasonable!

Best sushi in Rochester... and there is a lot of good sushi out there. The spicy tuna roll is to die for! Everything is always fresh. We have been eating here since they opened!

the best Japanese food I ever had in Rochester and the price is much lower than others

This is by far the best sushi in Rochester. We have tried every spot now and the quality of fish is simply on another level. Small intimate atmosphere, not ideal for children. Come here for a truly authentic experience and some of the best sashimi you'll ever taste. Fast service, polite and competent staff. Would give over five stars if I could.

Been to Japan, lived in Los Angeles, a sushi lover for decades now. Shiki is hands down the most authentic Japanese sushi in RochesterNY I’ve found so far. It’s a small Japanese owned restaurant just like any sushi restaurant you’d find in Japan.

Incredible Japanese spot, which definitely costs us less than some more popular locations.

Everything we had was delicious. I generally don't like sashimi, but their sashimi platter was to die for, absolutely worth it!

The staff is also incredibly kind and helpful. Will go again, multiple times, going forward.

Tried their Nagasaki Udon and wow. Wasn't to bland and wasn't full of flavors. It was right in the middle and was what I was expecting from a udon dish. I stopped by on my way to niagra falls and was not disapointed. It is also has a very authentic Japanese feel which made it even better.

Five years ago I had my first truly great bowl of ramen here. Today I had my first truly great sushi. Without a doubt in my mind, the kind folks here do it right.

I never was a sushi guy. Now I am. Try the fatty tuna - you won't regret it.

Small local restaurant. Best sashimi I've had in a long time. And they had uni, which is usually unavailable even when it's on the menu, at most places. Food was ready quickly. I'll be back to try the rest of their menu.

The food was carefully and quickly prepared. The service was excellent. The food and drinks were spot on. I'm not sure why there have been mediocre reviews? Yes, I've been to Japan and eaten in some of the finest Tokyo, Osaka, Akita restaurant's...and in places where I was the first ever American. We should be happy to have a low key place like this in our community..

Cute sushi place. Was packed- looks like a favorite for locals. I am new to sushi and definitely no expert, but the food was good and fresh and the waitress was very, very polite and accommodating. The red things in the picture are baby octopi!
