Comment: Finally ordered takeout, just a few simple rolls (hamachi and a couple spicy ones) and some Nigiri (sake and hamachi). It was wonderful. Very fresh fish. Rice was a great temperature. I’m so grateful this place exists. I wish they were open for lunch.

Comment: This is my favorite sushi place. There are plenty of tasty dishes and appetizers for non fish lovers too. The atmosphere is bright and airy, though the space is small and intimate. The number of Japanese students who eat here give an indication of how authentic the food is. The fish is always fresh and delicious. The house saki, served hot, is the best in the area and affordable. One note, the actual sushi rolls are not the most exciting in town, but all the other dishes more than offset that. I suggest getting a few appetizers to share and some separate sushi to try. Excellent for an adventurous date or fun with a small group.

Comment: Incredible Japanese spot, which definitely costs us less than some more popular locations.Everything we had was delicious. I generally dont like sashimi, but their sashimi platter was to die for, absolutely worth it!The staff is also incredibly kind and helpful. Will go again, multiple times, going forward.

Comment: Cute little sushi place! I went with some friends and we all enjoyed our meal. We came in a little after opening seeing that its a small place and would get packed by locals. There was only one waiter to serve the whole place, and she was very accommodating.The sushi is very traditional, not the over-the-top American style sushi you would get at other places. The fish and squid we had tasted fresher compared to other places. Overall a cute spot if you want simple, fresh, sushi!

Comment: Im a sushi lover who lives in another city, but there arent many sushi-like sushi dishes in America, so I drove an hour and a half to visit. It was certainly luxurious sushi that is hard to find around here. The variety and quality of the ingredients were good compared to the price. The only thing I was disappointed with was that the sushi rice was a little dry, and I think it would have been perfect if it were a little more moist.

Comment: [Update] the restaurant is open and I recommend making a reservation if you are planning to visit during the busy hour. You can certainly walk in but sometimes you have to wait a while to get seated. Their menu got a lot smaller but the food still tastes great![UPDATE] - THE RESTAURANT IS CLOSED FOR LUNCH. OPENS ONLY FOR DINNER 5-9PM!!I highly recommend! I can say that this restaurant provides the best Japanese food you can get around here! From appetizer to main course, and sushi, everything tastes good. I visit here almost once to twice every month and I always get satisfied after each meal. The restaurant is small but even when you have to wait, its definitely worth it. You can try the famous and common Japanese dishes in this restaurant. Get an appetizer, or order your choice of sushi, and have an order of main course dish then it will fill you up! When you order sushi, specify how many you want for each fish.

Comment: We recently ate there (party of five) and had a Japanese visitor with us. We were hoping for an authentic Japanese dinner experience and were not disappointed! The sushi was fresh and presented beautifully, and the ramen and Katsu curry were delicious and just like what we ate in Tokyo. The salad and miso soup were better than some of the other popular places weve been to as well. The place is small, but warm and you can see the sushi chef/owner in action. Shiki will definitley be on our regular rotation of restaurants!

Yes, Ive been to Japan and eaten in some of the finest Tokyo, Osaka, Akita restaurants...and in places where I was the first ever American. We should be happy to have a low key place like this in our community..

Comment: Best sushi in Rochester. When I say every piece was perfect, I mean it. The rice? Perfect temp and seasoning, the nigiri? All tasted fresh, cut perfectly at the grain without any chewiness or off density pieces. The flavor is awesome with just the right amount of wasabi on each piece. The gyōza, the tempura, its all amazing. The restaurant has a very authentic feel from the small but cozy interior to the oshibori as you sit.I would take off a star only for the fact that the interior is in desperate need of refinishing, but the place is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The fact that the food is so good greatly makes up for it.I dont give 5 stars often. This place has earned this.

But the staff is extremely friendly and the service is good. You do not go here for ambiance lol But the sushi and rest of the items on the menu are consistently good. Ive been going here for years, and have never left disappointed! Also, their prices are more than reasonable!

Comment: This is a traditional Japanese style restaurant, and it is actually owned and run by a Japanese family (the only such restaurant in Rochester.) All of the food is delicious and the sushi is fresh. Dont expect the American Style sushi rolls here, where you get 7 different things all mixed together and you cant taste the fish. Here you will get Japanese style sushi which is nigiri, sashimi, and simple rolls, where you can enjoy the flavor and the freshness of the fish. とても美味しいです！

Comment: My favorite local, and Japanese restaurant. Great appetizers, fresh fish, best hot Saki in town. Not pretentious, just consistently great! Its the little things that make the difference. Hot towels, delicious dressing on the salad, and did I mention the Saki?

Comment: I cant recommend Shiki for anyone that has dietary restrictions. Traditionally meatless dishes are sometimes prepared with meat here. Also, the waitstaff was a bit rude when asked about this as if it should be known that they prepare traditionally meatless dishes with meat. That said, the food is great and the prices are reasonable.

Comment: This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in the area. Closest in taste and ambiance to many similar places I have enjoyed in Japan. Last time my wife and I were here, we had a salmon collar special that was just right. The sushi has been reliably good over the 10 years I have been coming here.

Comment: This is one of the only Japanese restaurants in Rochester owned and run by Japanese people. This is not an asian fusion or asian inspired restaurant - the menu is filled with traditional Japanese dishes and they are great! The sushi is good and the ingredients are always fresh, even though they dont have a large variety of specialty rolls. I highly recommend the spicy tuna. The cooked food is also good. Yaki-soba, hamburger steak, nasu den, and takoyaki are a few of our favorites. It is a small restaurant with friendly severs, good food, and very affordable!

Comment: This is by far the best sushi in Rochester. We have tried every spot now and the quality of fish is simply on another level. Small intimate atmosphere, not ideal for children. Come here for a truly authentic experience and some of the best sashimi youll ever taste. Fast service, polite and competent staff. Would give over five stars if I could.

Comment: This place has fantastic Japanese food, probably the highest quality Ive had in the Rochester area. Half my party got sushi dinners that were absolutely delicious, and the other half ordered the ramen, which was amazing (and the broth wasnt too salty!!) We ordered ice cream for desert and it tasted homemade (although we didnt ask if it was). Service was excellent, and it should be noted that the seating area is quite small so I would highly recommend making reservations. We went on a Wednesday night and it was packed.

Comment: A real Japanese restaurant (not one of those horrible pan-Asian places that is a master of none). The service is prompt if not a little stiff. The food however is great - good sushi, and generally great seafood. Plus they have Asahi Super Dry, so its like being back in Tokyo.

Comment: Tried their Nagasaki Udon and wow. Wasnt to bland and wasnt full of flavors. It was right in the middle and was what I was expecting from a udon dish. I stopped by on my way to niagra falls and was not disapointed. It is also has a very authentic Japanese feel which made it even better.
