Shiki Restaurant

I've been frequenting this place for over 10 years. The fresh sashimi and sushi keep me coming back. Over the years, I've had the chance to sample 90% of the menu. The dishes are all very authentic.

The presentation of the dishes are simple for a japanese restaurant, not as fancy as some other places, but the taste makes up for it.

The service is friendly but could use more attentiveness.

The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable.

I will definitely keep coming back, as I love sashimi and this place offers a great selection, and the fish is always fresh.

I'm from Toronto and have had eaten at plenty of high end sushi places there. This might be some of the best Japanese food I've ever had. We ordered a variety of rolls (eg: spicy tuna, california, dragon, etc...), sashimi, miso soup and kaiso salad. Everything was fresh and delicious! The service was a bit slower than I was hoping but not in a manner that was neglectful. I think it was more to create a slower paced dining experience. I'll be back!

This place holds a special place in my heart! My husband and I used to visit this place religiously while we were dating :) We are both vegan, and this place had a secret vegetarian menu that you have to ask for to see. They were always so accomodating with special requests, too. The staff is always wonderful and friendly. If you're looking for delicious, fresh sushi options, GO HERE. It's not as obvious from the road as some of the other restaurants, as it is nestled away in the back of a parking lot - but it's really a hidden gem.

This place is the most authentic sushi place I have ever been to. The quality of the food and service is excellent. Everything, from the ginger, to the wasabi, to the green tea, to the rice on the sushi, to the generous portions of fresh fish in each bite is remarkable. We ordered the tempura, which was crispy and the paper beneath had no traces of oil on it. Very friendly staff, very accomodating. The best sushi place...

Decent food, good service. Nothing special, though. The rolls are alright, but definitely don't compare to what you'd get at Take, a block down the street. Overall, bland and unimpressive.

I've been to Shiki numerous times and have never had a bad experience. The service is always excellent, and the staff is very friendly.

This is one of the best Japanese restaurants in London, and probably the most authentic (the owners are actually Japanese).

The food is delicious and there are unique rolls (such as the Kamikaze roll) that are delicious. The best thing about the maki rolls at Shiki is that unlike most places, they don't try to use rice as filler -- allowing you to really taste the flavour of the fish/vegetables inside.

We frequent regularly. This family run business is very friendly and appreciative of their customers. They extend every courtesy and take pride in ensuring your meal is enjoyable.
I'd recommend Shiki to anyone who enjoys Japanese food.

My wife and I went with another couple who had frequented Shiki before. The menu was quite extensive and everybody was able to find a meal they enjoyed. Portion sizes were excellent, and the food was very tasty. Meals took quite a long time to arrive, but it didn't impact on our experience overall.

We go thru Canada from our home in Michigan to visit relatives in NY and Mass. I was looking for a place near the freeway. We had to turn around two times to find this place. One side of its sign is gone, and it's tucked back away from the road; it's name is only visible above the canopy. Look for a set of newish brick buildings.

We arrived at 2 p.m. and had a very nice lunch. My cold noodle special (can't remember the name!) was good, with very fresh ingredients. I snuck pieces of sushi and tempura from my hubby's Shiki Special - YUMMYO.

They had green tea ice cream for dessert and a special - mochi ice cream. Mochi is a glutinous rice paste. They roll it out thinly and cover a patty of ice cream with it. It maintains a faintly chewy texture. The flavors were lovely.

The ladies' room was very clean, and the service polite and attentive.

Though the reason for our visit to London was a misfortunate one (my new baby needed care at the Children's Hospital), Shiki became our haven during the week we were there.

My husband is Japanese and I lived there for 5 years and I've got to say the food was a delightful surprise in London! Reasonably priced, fresh and delicious, we ended up eating there at least 5 or 6 times during that one week. I agree with what a lot of others have said--this is true authentic Japanese food.

If you don't like it, you're probably better off eating the fast food garbage "Made in Japan Teriyaki Experience" serves.
