Here's the Valentine's Day menu (click on the image for a closer look). There are three options to choose from: Ume ('Plum'), Sakura ('Cherry'), or Tsubaki ('Camellia'). Prices are per person.

Apologies for the absence of blogs recently. Your resident Shiki blogger was away in October, so we had to rely on our trusty Shiki Facebook fan page -where you can, of course, make use of Shun-san's ever prompt responses!

On October 28th, Shiki hosted the Sushi Washoku Challenge in partnership with JETRO (Japan External Trade Organisation). Washoku (和食) means traditional Japanese cuisine and there was certainly plenty of that on offer during our two sushi workshops.

The event featured an all-day stall outside the restaurant selling specially imported Japanese sweets and snacks rarely available in the UK, but instantly recognisable if you've ever visited Japan. There were also free Japanese tea, sake and sweet tastings!

The Washoku Challenge was a great success and we hope to have more events such as this in the near future. Please check this blog or our facebook page for further details.

From 27th April we are introducing two new Donburi toppings!

Donburi (Japanese for 'rice bowl dish'), is a staple of Japanese-style 'fast food' restaurants and makes for an ideal lunch. Shiki's Donburi are lunch-time only and at the special price of £4.50, including miso soup and pickles! The two new toppings are:

1. Una-Tama-Don (grilled eel and egg Donburi - see picture)
2. Spicy Salmon Don (fresh salmon in spicy mayo Donburi)


Please Note: These items are lunch-time only and we can only provide up to 20 Donburi a day.

Donburi (Japanese for 'rice bowl dish'), is a staple of Japanese-style 'fast food' restaurants and makes for an ideal lunch.


It's quick, big and tasty, served with Miso-soup and a small side dish. Our current Donburi toppings are pork or salmon ... and it's only £4.50, making it great value at lunchtime!

Every Monday and Tuesday it's Sushi Night at Shiki! That means all-you-can-eat sushi for £24.50 per head (£22.00 NUS discount on Mondays). The offer runs every week of the year, so start your week in style with this healthy and delicious favourite!

Teppanyaki in its modern form is Western-style meat and vegetables cooked on a Japanese 'teppan', or iron griddle, creating a distinctive Japanese 'steak-house' taste.

The food is served at our special Teppanyaki counter and includes entertainment! Teppanyaki chefs are famed for their amazing bartender-style tricks and showmanship ... and our chef is no exception!


Take advantage of the Teppanyaki discount every Wednesday and Thursday. Teppanyaki (meat or seafood) is £16:00 per head.

Yes, we know Valentine's Day is a Sunday this year, but we are open! The restaurant will be decorated for the occasion and we'll be offering a special Valentine's menu. Booking is essential (we sold out last year). Book now for a romantic night, Japanese-style!
