What an amazing experience. The atmosphere is very nice. It’s more traditional sushiya decor than the trendy Instagram pretty sushi spots that have become popular. Good sake selection! We sat at the sushi bar because we like to watch the chefs work.
Our server Annie was absolutely amazing. She answered all of our questions, made fantastic recommendations, and checked in on us in a timely manner that never felt intrusive.
Also, this place has the BEST uni I have ever had. Very fresh and clean tasting, with a hint of nuttiness at the end. I’m so happy we stopped here!
This was easily one of the best meals we’ve enjoyed in Charleston!
My husband and I enjoyed a variety of nigiri and it was truly a perfect meal made up of beautiful, fresh fish and well-balanced flavors.
We had the delight of sitting at the sushi bar in front of Chef James — he was very friendly and we enjoyed our conversation with him while watching him work his magic.
Shiki had a slightly more upscale atmosphere but in a very comfortable, relaxed way. Our server provided a perfect service, was also very friendly and offered great recommendations.
We can’t wait to return for another amazing meal at Shiki and highly recommend you do the same!
Awesomeness! In town for a quick trip and this place didn't disappoint! Great service and fresh food! The Maki roller was on point! This was a lunch visit, so it didn't go too crazy but I was allowed to photograph some great rolls see below. I was told it can get kinda busy at night, but Saturday aftn lunch was chill. Traditional Sushi restaurant.
Ordered takeout for lunch and I will definitely be a return visitor. The sashimi is perfect and the squid in my seaweed salad was cooked perfectly! The young man at the door was polite, prepared and quick. Wonderful establishment.
Best sushi in Charleston, hands down. The toro is incredible. You can test the freshness of the fish. Don’t skip the baked mussels or the tonkatsu.
Shiki is hands down the best sushi place in Charleston, SC. The fish is so fresh and the sushi is authentic while still having options for people who are first getting into sushi as a cuisine. The staff is so nice as well as the sushi chefs. The presentation of sushi is always so beautiful and the atmosphere overall is very welcoming. Beware of the reservation charges if you don’t show up! They’ll charge you if you don’t show.
This is my favorite type of sushi experience: small, authentic restaurant with no-frill sushi. We got the boat of chef choice sushi and the chef just lets the fresh fish speak for itself. We didn't get a chance to try the regular rolls on the menu so we can't speak for those, but the ones on this particular boat didn't really add to the experience. Seemed more like an afterthought. We didn't mind that since there was a ton of fish for the price. Highly recommend!
Absolutely perfect.
We had a reservation and were seated immediately. It was my birthday so they put flowers at our bar spot.
Our server was very attentive and explained the menu very well.
The boat was perfect. They also gave me complimentary strawberry mochi dessert.
We loved it so much.
High quality sushi and sashimi. Other plates are really good and taste authentic. Friendly chefs and attentive service. I will come back!
Delightful service by the whole team! Great recommendations from our server which made for an incredible meal. Hip but cozy and laid back vibe. Intimate setting with great music, modern decor and high class touches. Fish is fresh! Looking for a top notch, authentic sushi experience without all the frills? This is your spot!
