I dont think i would recommend this place since it just is way too expensive for the sloppy sushi rolls that they serve. That's why I started going to another place every time i wanted sushi. If you want quality rolls for a reasonable price, you wont find it here.
Pros: seating variety, full bar
Cons: pricey

If you have had good sushi with the best selection of fresh fish, rolled tight and to perfection, you will laugh and the 4-start rating and "best sushi" comments. Several people from Mexico, who really are that good at rolling sushi = faux sushi chef's. I have honestly had better rolled sushi from Harris Teeter.
The two for one is a rip off because the should take like kind for like kind. So if you by 2 rolls - 1 at $10 and another $8, 2 sashimi - 1 $4 and the other $5, then you should be charged $10 and $5, not $10 & 8. That's common sense. That is why they don't let you split checks, because you will put the cheap sushi on one bill and the expensive rolls on the other. The way to get around this is order rolls that are close in price.
As far as the wait goes, it's not their fault. Go to any good restaurant on a busy night and it will be busy. I always sit at the bar and the bartenders are very friendly and cool.
There are better places, but none as cheap.
Pros: 2-4-1 Sushi (if you know how to order
Cons: The management svcks because the are making tons of money

I've been to shiki sushi a few times for dinner in the two years. They do have a large variety of Asian dishes, as well as a sushi menu. The sushi isn't as good as the competition, especially considering the price.
The last time I was there, a member of my dinner party had a complaint about his meal. The manager came out and had an argument with my friend, leaving everyone a bit upset and probably disturbing adjacent tables.
With this kind of service, I'm sure you have a better meal at almost any restaurant.
Pros: I didn't get sick.
Cons: Forgettable Food, Horrible Management

I absolutely LOVE the Buy 1 Get 1 Free Sushi deal. Before finding Shiki 2 years ago, I had never really tried sushi because it was too expensive and I was afraid I wouldn't like it. But you can't go wrong at Shiki, everything I've tried has been delicious.
I really like eel ( which I was nervous about trying but it doesn't taste anything like what it sounds like-- it has a very pleasant sweet taste) so I switch between the Sweet Dragon Roll and the Eel Fashion Roll. They both have eel and avocado, but the Eel Fashion also has cream cheese in it.
For my second roll I always go with the Shiki Crunch roll that is topped with crunchy tempura crumbles and delicious eel sauce (a sweet, thick sauce not actually made from eel, just traditionally served along side eel dishes).
At any other sushi place I either walk away still hungry or having dropped a ton of money. At Shiki I'm full on sushi for only $12.
Pros: Great Deal!, tasty, varied menu

This was my 3rd visit to this place. We were told it would be 30min for a table so we waited patiently. After seeing others arriving after us at 35min we questioned if our buzzer was working and was assured our table would be seated soon. Checked again at 50 min; same story. At 55min they realized they accidently scratched our number off and while they apologized we were not seated for another 5minutes. When we ordered, our waitress forgot to put in our appetizer order so we ended up cancelling that when our dinner arrived first. The ice tea I ordered was really warm as if they just added ice seconds before serving it and was way too sweet! The food is no better than your average Asian bistro, but more expensive. The atmoshpere is very noisy such that it is very hard to have a conversation and you leave with a headache. When trying to get our bill, it took an excessive amount of time. I am not sure what the attraction is to this place. The service is going downhill fast and I think there are better options.
Cons: Noisy, poor service, expensive for average food

my husband and i enjoy having our sushi dinners every once in a while and we usually come here. their sushi is quite good. their buy one get one free deal is enticing and helps, but we still end up spending too much $ b/c we want a taste of everything! other dishes are asian fusion style, not really authentic...very tasty, but portions are on smaller side and they fill up dishes with lot more veggies so you don't end up getting much of the meat or food. service has been fine. they get pretty busy, esp since expanding their restaurant, so expect to wait a bit.
Pros: good sushi
Cons: small portions on entrees

We went to Shiki for a group couple's date. We all had a great time. The food was fantastic! We all ordered something different and shared. No one had a complaint. Except that we had too much sake. They have a very extensive menu. It is a little pricey but the food was great. Very surprised they are in a strip mall but they have obviously expanded and updated the area. Our server was very attentive and courteous. Highly recommend.

First of all the hostess that was there was unprofessional and rude. I don't know what his name was but he was extremely rude and didn't know what he was doing. He was snapping at the other people at the front desk and very frazzled. We were originally told the wait was a certain time and then it was changed over and over again. Once we were sat at our table the service we received by the wait staff was great but the initial experience walking through the door was something to be desired.
Cons: they play the music way toooo loud in the bar area!!!

If you're looking for some "teriyaki chicken" go somewhere else, there's a Japan Express right down the street. Stiffing your server just makes you look ignorant.
They call this place Shiki Sushi for a reason. It's primarily a sushi bar. The sushi is great, i love their spider special and dynamite rolls. However the entrees on the menu are usually just okay. In order to get a good dish there you really have to tell your server "If i was Japanese, that's how I'd like my food." They tone down most of their dishes for the American palliate. The menu is big enough that you can get lost in the less desirable dishes and end up with something just okay, make sure to ask your server for their suggestions. The red curry is my brother's favorite, he gets that practically weekly.
Pros: 2 for 1 sushi
Cons: As a result of being in Durham, the place can have some rather incompetent servers, ask for Teddy.
