Description

So, I’ve been to Shiki Sushi recently, and lemme tell ya, this place really got me thinking. Located right at 1113 Blanshard St in Victoria, BC, it’s got a cozy vibe that kind of feels like stepping into a Japanese kitchen. The chefs whipping up sushi in front of diners? Now that’s a show in itself! It’s small but has this sorta quaint charm.

Now, let’s talk about the food. They offer this All You Can Eat option for adults at $45 (yeah, a bit steep), which includes a crazy variety of choices. Sure, the sushi was solid; I’ve tasted better, but it didn’t totally suck, either. The sashimi was decent and the rolls? Pretty tasty, though I think they might have overdone the rice a bit in some of ‘em. And don’t even get me started on the hilarious names of the rolls—“sexy man roll,” anyone?

You get the sense that the staff genuinely care. Most reviews point to the knowledge of the servers. I mean, I had a server who could explain all those Japanese names to the point where I almost felt like I was in a language class! But then, there were mixed vibes about the service speed. Some folks waited an age for their food, almost long enough to grow roots in their seats!

And speaking of the atmosphere, it’s beauteous and modern, but somehow also feels a bit cold. Weird, right? You can certainly dine in, grab takeout, or even get it delivered, making it quite the versatile spot. Plus, it’s wheelchair accessible, and having high chairs is definitely a plus if you’re bringing the little ones.

I can’t ignore the mixed opinions, though. The 734 reviews give it an average score of 3.5 outta 5. There’s a chance for some quirky experiences, like the sushi that wasn’t quite fresh. But hey, what’s life without a little adventure, right? All in all, if you’re in the mood for sushi before a show at the Royal Theatre—it’s just a block away—Shiki Sushi might just quench your craving.
