Shiki Restaurant - London

We had an amazing dinner at Shiki. The restaurant is tucked away and slightly hard to find (Google Maps sent us into a nearby neighborhood) but so worth it....

Best sushi hands down. The ginger dressing is to die for as well!! Everything is fresh and delicious. Portions are great and rolls aren't overfilled with rice

After we were finally able to order, we eventually got our seaweed salad appetizer, and our feelings of frustration turned to delight welcome crunch accompanied high quality seaweed. We each ordered a Deluxe Sushi platter and were glad we did. Except for the maguro, the quality ranged from good to excellent and the breadth of selection was definitely excellent. We were sorry that the miso soup arrived in the middle of our meal instead of at the end as we had requested, but it was hot and tasty enough even after waiting to provide a very satisfying period to the meal.

This place is amazing! They have a small sign at the door letting you know if they have uni available that day that's all I need to know! Fresh fish, crispy, fresh produce and friendly service make every visit very enjoyable. Word of caution, you will want to drink the salad dressing straight out of the little pitcher but don't :D. I don't know what on Earth they put in that dressing, but it is absolutely finger licking (or pitcher gulping) good. As for uni, if you like your sushi you probably love uni and know how hard it is to find it and how much it costs. At Shiki, they serve uni relatively often and at a fair price, always fresh and a solid size per piece. I have never had their hot dishes, but I often see people having them so I would not be surprised if those are as good as their sushi. This place is a London must!

Owned and run by Japanese. Food was authentic and delicious. The staff, believe he is the owner, told us the fish name when deluxe sushi arrived. Udon soup was light and in-house made, highly recommend to finish the soup. They also offer some authentic Japanese side dishes. Service was slow so make sure you are not in a rush. Highly recommended.
