Located in the heart of Ballard Avenue's historic district, Shiku has been a neighborhood favorite since 2008. Specializing in sushi and Japanese izakaya- style dining, we pair fresh, creative dishes with craft cocktails and carefully selected sake from small brewers. As a women-owned restaurant now led by a longtime chef and bartender, Shiku feels more like family than business - both for our team and our guests.
Loved by locals for our welcoming atmosphere and dedication to quality, we're proud to be known as one of the best spots for sushi in Seattle.
