Shokitini has the best sushi I’ve ever had! And it’s certainly one of our favorite restaurants in Athens. The sushi is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant is also gorgeous, with a dark ambience and a cool upstairs area. Our favorites are the red dragon roll, ahi hawaiian, and spicy tuna roll!
UPDATE: went again, and they let me modify my sushi roll with no difficulty at all. The miso soup was perfectly brothy and warm. The chocolate truffle dessert is not great. It is cheap at only $6, but the icecream tastes like its been sitting in the freezer and is not very flavorful.

Came in hungry and left impressed across the board. This place absolutely delivers on creative rolls, flavor balance, and vibe.
We started with miso soup, which was clean, savory, and exactly what you want as a warm-up — simple, comforting, and well done.
Now the rolls…
Sumo Roll (winner of the night)
Deep-fried roll loaded with salmon, crab stick, cucumber, and avocado, topped with masago and eel sauce. Crispy on the outside, rich and satisfying inside — this one hits every texture note and absolutely earns the #1 spot.
Surf & Turf Roll
A bold combo of deep-fried shrimp and grilled sirloin steak, paired with avocado and cucumber, then finished with sauce. This roll is hearty, savory, and packed with flavor — a close second and a must-order if you like big, indulgent rolls.
Right on their heels (all excellent):
• Dawg Roll – Deep-fried shrimp with lettuce, avocado, cucumber, masago, and eel sauce. Crunchy, classic, and crowd-pleasing.
• Game Day Roll – Deep-fried shrimp with avocado and cucumber, topped with teriyaki chicken and crunch flakes — great texture and a fun twist.
• Mardi Gras Roll – Deep-fried shrimp with avocado and cucumber, topped with seared crawfish and masago. Cajun flair without overpowering the sushi base.
And then… the drink.
The strawberry daiquiri deserves its own spotlight. Hands down one of the best I’ve ever had — it’s like strawberry cake with booze through a straw. Smooth, rich, not overly icy, and dangerously drinkable.
Bottom line:
Creative rolls done right, strong execution across the menu, and a cocktail program that can steal the show. Whether you’re watching a game, grabbing dinner, or settling in for drinks and sushi, this spot is absolutely worth your time.

Always such a great time. We got the private karaoke room which is a blast. Sushi and hibachi both are always so good! Our server Caroline was amazing.

This was the first time I’ve ever been to Shokitini and it was an amazing experience. Once we were seated our server Paris was friendly and had excellent service! The food was delicious and even though it was a busy Valentine’s day, the food came out at a good time. The karaoke room was so fun and definitely worth it. Highly recommend this place for a fun night with friends!

Shokitini is easily one of my favorite sushi spots in Athens. The rolls are always fresh and taste amazing, and the vibe is perfect for dinner with friends or a date night. The host staff works extremely hard. They are super kind and welcoming, and they keep things moving even when it is busy. You never feel ignored or rushed. Definitely a five star spot in my book.

We arrived before the rest of our party so we ended up sitting at the bar for a few minutes while we waited for everyone to arrive so we could be seated. The table was a little small for 8 people. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the shrimp and scallop hibachi which was excellent. Those that ordered sushi rolls were happy with those as well. This was probably the best place we visited during our short stay in town, and we will be back next time we’re in Athens

This place is incredible. Super cute. Delicious portions. Definitely recommending their Red and Black sushi roll. At the end of the meal, we were given fried Oreos. Wonderful experience. Highly recommend.
