Shiki Japanese Cuisine — Restaurant in Half Moon Bay

Well my go to was closing and would not take orders. So I gave this place a shot.

The first thing I noticed was the prices, a little high for what they were serving but not too crazy. Ordered shrimp tempura sashimi combo, got vegatable tempura so the order was wrong (really craving shrimp tempura a beef teriyaki and sashimi and maybe a Cali roll.)

Also ordered a teriyaki salmon dinner.

The Tempura was stiff, not light, crisp or flakey it was like chewing through thick dough. Basically bad tempura. Whoever is working the fryer needs to let someone who knows what Tempura is give them a refresher.

The fact they did not offer bento style dinners and try to make things fancy really just made this lose a star cause what I paid for here I could get elsewhere for higher quality and I would be happy to pay your price for good quality tempura and sushi, its just that if you charge so confidently also deliver.

My advice is if you charge exuberantly make sure quality is at least as high as all your competitors.

The Sashimi was good so they get a star back. It was fresh and they set it separate from the hot/warm order.

I will probably go here again because it is unfair to judge a place off one visit.

The sake bar seems strong but sake should not be the strongest leg of a sushi joint. Sushi and...

Wow ! I guess the owner/manager doesn't reply or read any of the Google maps review or replies to any Yelp review.

Anyways DO NOT ORDER THR SASHIMI SUSHI. The Sashimi sushi was like really huge thick of steak, like a big as a spoon size and thick beyond comprehension! It's like one pice of Sashimi sushi you cut like 10 pieces.

And this place is not run by Japanese chef. I'm Japanese so I know. If this was they should be ashamed of themselves for calling that sushi. Quality is nice fresh fish but the sushi OMFG. Unbelievable. You've been warned. Order at your own risk.

Service is nice. But WOW that is not what I call sashimi. If you don't believe more order the sashimi sushi and diner combo and you'll see what I mean

Waste of $28. Spend you $$ money elsewhere. As Japanese person. I am beyond speechless. The Sashimi Sushi 1/10. Remember you've been warned!!!

Order anything else. It's...

I come here atleast 3 times a month or more . I order the same sushi every time I go . My recent visit was awful my sushi tasted burnt because of the tempura . I’m sure they left it in the fryer for a long time. Normally my sushi would come out before my brothers bowl of noodles and this visit the noodles came out first and sushi 10 min after which was strange to me. I noticed they had new staff and I think a new sushi cooks. Service was whatever but the food was awful. I am surprised their quality of food is goin down or the sushi cooks just didn’t observe the burnt crispy...
