Oh Shiki how do I love thee....
This is the best (non-hibachi show) Japanese Restaurant I've found in Charlotte. The dining room is large and clean. The staff is super friendly and the service is super fast. Anytime I call in an order for pick-up the wait is always five minutes.
I've heard people say they didn't like the ginger dressing for the salads, but my mom liked hers. I had ranch because I am a wuss and can't handle any degree of spice.
The teriyaki chicken meal is awesome! I can't remember the exact price, but I am pretty sure it's around 7 bucks. You get a decent amount of chicken with a huge mound of rice with veggies (onions, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, and peas) and a side of sweet carrots.. oh and of course the most delish shrimp sauce in town. Shiki also seems less salty than other fast cuisine Japanese restaurants I've tried.
I've also had the crab wontons, which are great.. but I only treat myself to them about every 6 months.
My mom always requests that we eat here when she visits from out of town. It really is worth all 5 stars to me!
