The sushi here is amazing! I've been back 3-4 times and averaged 4-6 rolls per visit, they are consistent and delicious! The service usually leaves something to be desired but the job gets done and the food is good enough to make it a non-event. I have only tried a couple of the cocktails on the menu but they have been pretty tasty (just Ballard prices). The appetizers have been pretty yummy and consistent too.

Such a cozy atmosphere! My family went out for a late lunch and had an amazing time. The selection is great and the food tasted wonderful! Everything tasted fresh and high quality. The Sasquatch, Ninja, and Sumo  rolls in particular were very yummy.

Shiku Sushi is a Japanese restaurant in the older part of Ballard. It's quite small inside, their menu is about average size, prices are really good for their portion sizes, and tastes are on point. The staff are friendly and food comes out pretty quick, mainly because there aren't that many tables inside, probably around a dozen or so. Call ahead for reservations if you can since they can get quite busy. It is kid friendly which is always nice for families too.

Shiku is my favorite sushi restaurant and one of my favorite all-time restaurants! I’ve been coming here for nearly 5 years. The Bruce Lee roll, Salt & Pepper roll, Monkey Brains, and Chicken Kara-Age are my favorite menu items. They always do their best to accommodate my friends’ special dietary requirements, which is appreciated.

One of the better offerings of a sushi happy hour, even on the weekends which is rare and cool.We went in for a snack.  The staff is kind and fun. Made good suggestions and had great conversations. Being I always seem to make reference to bathrooms, theirs was clean and fully stocked :)

First time coming here and our server John gave us the best experience. I ordered the crunch roll and the California roll which tasted amazing. John was very kind and attentive to our needs which made the experience 10x better. Would highly recommend to my friends. Can’t wait to come back.
