Shiki Sushi Hibachi - Chesapeake

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant and throughout the day all you wanted was to go back for more? That is this place. Probably the best sushi I have ever had. I dont even like Miso soup, but theirs was so good I have to mention it. I wont comment on the hibachi, only because the sushi was too good. Will be my new spot for sushi.

We visited on Friday, May 6th. We arrived at 8:45- google lists the restaurant as open until 9:45 and the sign posted on the window exterior of the restaurant states a 10:30 pm close time.As soon as we walked in, 4 servers were all sitting in the back booths and chairs, staring at their phones. After we were just standing there awkwardly in the lobby for a minute, in a completely empty restaurant, all the servers stared at us until finally one spoke up and told us to seat ourselves. When a young blonde approached our table, she threw menus down and asked us what we wanted to drink. We asked for waters while we took a moment to look at the menu. When the server returned, we asked for clarification on when the restaurant closed, as it was VERY evident we were unwelcome. The server informed us they closed at 9:15- we decided to leave. We would genuinely hate to inconvenience you all, but the absolute disrespect from your staff was disgusting.I am a service industry member would have compensated my server appropriately- attitude or not. We were frequent customers pre-Covid but clearly things have gone downhill.

I thought this place would be like a mom and pop restaurant, since it's small. But they had 3 sushi chefs and other cooks doing hibachi. I was also surprised it was packed on a Friday afternoon, it wasn't even 6pm yet. They do a brisk to-go order business and with all the chefs, the service is very fast! I had to dock two stars. One because it was kinda dirty inside. The tables were quickly cleared but the bar had bits of food on it. There were crumbs next to the fridge and the shelf. My menu was handed to me with a gob of something stuck to the cover. The bar also had something on the corner of it. I got something reddish smeared on my shirt when I left. Second star was docked for smoke. As some others have said, it can be smoky in there. Some are definitely a burning smell from the grill. It's not well ventilated because I came home smelling of smoke and needed to shower. As for the good, the service is fast and the sushi rice was amazing. They had this real small grain rice, it was cooked perfectly and the rolls were tight. I thought it was heavy on the rice, kind of like all-you-can-eat places do. The fish I had was fresh and my rolls were artful and tasty. I just didn't vibe with the busy busy atmosphere here. But it seems to be a local hot spot for reliable food and popular for to-go.

Ordered hibachi dinner, plenty of good tasting foods for a reasonable price. Tofu very good, shrimp and chicken good also. Dinner comes with soup salad and entree with fried rice. Service was quick. Inside restaurant rather small so fills up fast. Plenty of parking since it is located in a strip shopping building adjacent to Kroger. Menu showed great deals for lunch so will try that one day.

Really good dinner bout to go to graduation only 24$ for the whole dinner of the two of us
