I have been excitedly awaiting their opening ever since I first saw their "OPENING SOON" banner, and I am happy to say that the wait was well worth it! We got there right when they opened for lunch, so while we didn't have to wait your own experience may differ on that aspect. That said, the food and service were both fantastic! For an appetizer, we ordered the beef negimaki, and for our entrees I ordered the chicken hibachi lunch and my companion ordered the chicken katsu. Of course, we each had to sample the other's dish and both dishes were delicious. I've already recommended them to one good friend of mine and I intend to tell as many people as I can. I'm already looking forward to our next visit, which I hope will be sooner rather than later.

I will give some grace because they just opened BUT much improvement is needed. Staci and I ordered Harumaki (sping rolls), Mizu Roll and Pad Thai with Miso soup for lunch. Edamame (soybeans) was provided for free which wasn't bad. The Miso soup arrived and it didn't have a lot of flavor depth but was ok. Staci's Mizu Roll showed up and she said it was good. I tried one of the shrimp tails and agreed that was good. My Pad Thai showed up after Staci was all done eating and I've had Pad Thai from various restaurants and never as bad as the Pad Thai here. The Pad Thai tasted like it had ketchup mixed into it. I rejected it which I never do but it was that bad. I never received the Harumaki (sping rolls), so I can't even tell you about them. The customer service was great by not charging me for the Pad Thai or the Harumaki (sping rolls) without any issues. As I said they are just getting started, so I'll give them some grace with the hopes it will get better. The prices were reasonable so might try again.

We are so happy that Mason City has good sushi and hibachi! We highly recommend Shiki to everyone wether you live in Mason City or visiting! Everything we have ordered has been Soo yummy! The quality for price is a SUPER good value! We have eaten at Shiki a few times and just celebrated our sons birthday there! Great staff and they know their stuff! If you don't like sushi or hibachi, I strongly suggest the Japanese Curry. Thank you Shiki!!
