Shiki Japanese Restaurant

This is my favourite restaurant in Sydney. Everytime I come to Sydney I try my best to go. I love their Wagyu on himalayan rock salt. A must have every time. Their fish in paper pot was amazing. The fish was very sweet. Restaurant is a must try!

Absolutely delicious! Beat Japanese restaurant in Sydney. Thank you for many amazing meals! Best of luck

5-star food and service! Highly recommend booking one of the horigotatsu for a special occasion

This was the first time my partner and I had experienced fine dining Japanese. We had an amazing experience the food was great. A special thank you to our waiter Jerome who was educated in what he was serving and made our experience so pleasant. We highly recommend to everyone as a must try and will be back :)

Love the wagyu beef. sashimi is average . Will come back try others.

To say that we were disappointed is an understatement. We invited our closest families for a birthday dinner last Sat, and the experience went downhill on arrival. The room was filled with thick smoke due to the faulty ventilation from room next to us having BBQ. Felt exactly like we were in a kitchen when someone burns food without turning on the rangehood. Food - We waited for 30+ mins before the 1st round of food came, simple sashimi dish. The food was ok but definitely not up to the standard for the price. The raw wagyu beef salad was chewy. The wagyu coupled together with the Himalayan salt rock was too salty and destroyed the flavor of the beef. Might as well have had salt cured beef. The other extreme was that sukiyaki pot was way too sweet. Service - The service was so slow on the night that we literally had to walk out a few times to get the waiters to refill water etc. It's like we were forgotten in the room. No one was wearing masks while serving and they put their fingers inside the bowls when handing them out to you. Environment - As mentioned above, the ventilation in the room was bad and upon closer look (due to us having time to do so, after waiting so long) there were brownish spilled stains on the sliding door and we could feel the small bits of dirt with our feet on the carpet floor under the table (as we weren't allowed to wear shoes inside). We tried to concentrate on our conversations after noticing! Although we weren't having a degustation, the whole dinner took almost 3 hours to finish. To make it worse, we were charged $50 for the private room which was not mentioned at the time of booking! Lucky we checked the bill, otherwise we wouldn't have got this refunded. Having spent OVER $1,100 for 7 adults & 2 kid, we expected top notch dinner that everyone would enjoy. Instead, the birthday host (us) left feeling embarrassed and had to apologise to our loved ones that night. To be honest, we feel that Shiki should compensate for ruining our celebration and I'm writing this long review because I don't want others to suffer the same!

Came here for a birthday dinner celebration but waited so long for food. After tasting, not quite sure how on earth they could charge a simple plain udon for $19?! Majority of food is pretty average to me but the environment and service are way below standard for what they are charging. Wouldn't be returning.

Excellent service and love the Christmas special set on Christmas Eve. If the meat in the set could be changed to vegetable or other meats that would be fantastic.

Amazing food, friendly staffs, excellent service. Make sure ring up for reservations if you want the view. Yes is abit pricey but I think it worth it.

Shiki has intimately romantic ambience and dimly lit seating arrangements. It offers views overseeing the rocks and specialised tatami rooms for a more authentic hotpot and grill experience. It is consistently good every time I dine here and not as exorbitantly priced as other higher end Japanese restaurants. The service is polite, attentive and prompt. The pink rock wagyu and hotpot experience is a must try! The sashimi, salmon and sushi are delicious, however there are limited food options for lunch. I recommend checking Shiki out for dinner due to the greater variety in menu choices and cosy atmosphere for the evening. Instagram: @sydneyfoodreviewer
