We got the ZigZag roll which had whole deep fried soft shell crab which was AMAZING. This is definitely gonna be a place we plan to bring all our friends who come and visit. Also it’s in such a cute area, perfect for hanging out.

Had a great experience at Shiku Sushi after a movie down the street. The ambiance was nice, and the staff was great. This is the new menu and management, and they seem to be doing a great job. The creamy scallop nigiri and amberjack were both so good. Prices were very fair for Seattle too.
The owner is really nice and even helps out at the sushi bar, which adds a great touch. I’ll definitely be back to try the sake deals!

Shiku constantly surprises me with its excellence, even though I’ve grown to expect it. In my opinion the most underrated spot in Ballard. Service and vibes are second to none, and rotating specials and bar specials keep the menu fresh; not a single option misses. This has quickly become my favorite go-to date night spot.

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.

Had a fantastic time at Shiku Sushi tonight! We had the pleasure of sitting at the bar and meeting the owner herself, Kayla. She’s great and will kindly steer you in the right direction if you’d prefer she select something for you off the menu. The sake and nigiri was awesome, I’ll most definitely be back for more soon.

Took myself on a solo sushi date, and I’m so happy I ended up here. I sat at the bar, and Jessica was the best bartender ever. Making sure everyone in there was being taken care of. I ordered 3 sushi rolls: the honey, Philadelphia, and eel roll. I loved the honey so much that I want to go back for it today! Highly recommend this family-owned restaurant!

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.
The bartenders are cool and the servers are very friendly and knowledgeable (thank you, Raechel)! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Try the Yuzu Lime Drop cocktail or one of the sakes on their sake menu. Plus, they have an amazing happy hour with great prices!

We love this spot! The master sushi chef Khine always makes us great chef specials, and asks about dietary restrictions and allergies as soon as we sit down. Assistant Master Chef Riley also delivers from the best sides and appetizers from the kitchen. Everyone on staff is very friendly and attentive. The pricing is competitive and the food is really good quality.

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. Parking is a pain around this part of the neighborhood so be prepared to walk a bit.

Super cute local sushi spot with fresh fish and some great sake and cocktails! It’s so nice having a place I can walk to and get some tasty sushi and a nice drink. The izakaya snacks are overlooked but the fries are
