SHIKI - Klostergasse 18 in Leipzig

Unser Besuch in diesem Restaurant war eine große Enttäuschung. Der Service war unfreundlich, und die Gerichte ließen ebenfalls stark zu wünschen übrig. Für 30 Euro bekam ich eine Portion asiatische Nudeln mit gerade einmal 4 Garnelen – absolut unverhältnismäßig. Der Entrecôte-Steak war extrem dünn und hatte geschmacklich nichts mit einem echten Steak zu tun. Es war einfach nicht lecker. Wir werden definitiv nicht wiederkommen und können dieses Restaurant niemandem empfehlen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt hier überhaupt nicht!

Ideal para salir por la noche casual tanto con amigos y familiares y también después de la cena de trabajo. Amplia selección y comida muy deliciosa, todos los artículos en el plato preparados con excelencia, todo es muy delicioso y fresco. Bonitos vinos en el menú y los cócteles son todos imprescindibles probar. Ambiente agradable y camareros amables. Debe perderse cuando esté en Leipzig.

Das Essen ist qualitativ sehr gut hier. Leider haben wir nicht das bekommen was wir bestellt haben aber es war dennoch lecker.

Gutes Essen und aufmerksamer Service. Die Karte lässt inhaltlich keine Wünsche offen, jedoch haptisch. Das ist kein Aushängeschild. Pekig. WC ungepflegt. Wir hatten 1 Flasche Mineralwasser, 1 Flasche Sancerre, 1 Cremant, 2 Robata Hauptspeisen und 1 Dessert für 168 Eur. Offene tolle Küche.

Great restaurant, sushi unbeatably delicious. Very nice and fast service. Great facility. You feel very comfortable. Reservations are recommended in advance as it is very busy.

The SHIKI is a noble restaurant with sophisticated, pan-Asian dishes for gourmets. The price is reflected in the quality and portion size of the dishes. In short - a recommended restaurant with style and exclusivity.

Great food, great ambience, friendly service. Great Asian food, just perfect.

Delicious food, small portions, friendly atmosphere and nice waiters. The prices are higher and the music was a bit too loud for our liking.

The presentation of the food is great, as is the white wine (Bacchus) and espresso martini. Unfortunately, the taste was only okay, the ramen was very disappointing (noodles overcooked and broth rather tasteless). There were no extra spices etc. At some point it was cleared away quickly and without question. The prices are too high for that. [Note: providers had my last critical reviews deleted by a lawyer, let's see how long that lasts.]

The restaurant pleasantly surprised me with a cozy atmosphere and excellent service. The dishes are beautifully presented and everything I tried was really tasty - I especially liked the homemade starters and desserts. The only downside is that the prices are slightly higher than average. But for the quality of food and service it's definitely worth it!

Really delicious food! The service was nice, but took a while... but the food was definitely worth it! Really really delicious. It is not exactly cheap, and the portions are relatively small, but with an entrée and a desert we could get very satisfied! Definitely recommend and would totally go back!

I would like to express my great dissatisfaction with this restaurant. The noodles were hard, and the seafood sashimi was anything but fresh. The most unbearable thing, however, was that we had ordered three portions of pasta, but after an agonizing wait of an hour, we were only served a single portion. When we asked, the waiter refused to admit the mistake and didn't even offer a simple apology. The quality of the food is mediocre and the service is poor. Absolutely not recommended.

It was just super delicious. Every dish was special and good in its own way.

Highly recommended - we really had a great evening! 🍣 Not 0-8-15, very high quality and a pleasure not only in terms of taste but also visually! 👌🏻

Everything was beautifully designed, fine food, very nice staff.

Luxurious venue in the center of Leipzig, the staff takes the utmost care and attention to the smallest detail and cleanliness in the furnishings and toilet. The service is impeccable and very fast. As for the food, this sushi has nothing to do with what they serve in all restaurants, an excellent quality and flavor, also a brilliant creativity of the chef to adapt traditional dishes with local products, as drinks offer a very wide variety of sake with various types of aging. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try real Japanese cuisine.

We had to wait almost 30 minutes for the drinks we ordered at the beginning. The subsequent service was OK. Food and ambience top! Upscale price range.

The food was delicious, although for that price the portions could’ve been a bit bigger. Staff was very polite and the atmosphere was nice inside.

We were in the restaurant for the first time today. And it was really worth it. Very child-friendly, we were able to order maki on request without any problems (only cucumber and avocado) Small note, the glass with the lemonade (passion fruit) had a small crack and the cards could be a little easier to turn over. But these are small things that are not included in our rating. The service is top and the kitchen too. You deserve the tip :)

We had a very nice evening with good food

Great location, great service, great food. Consistently high level on repeated visits. Leipzig can no longer be imagined without Shiki. One of the top 3 restaurants in Leipzig.

It's tasty, but portion is not enough to be filled. For example the risotto dish, they put one spoon of risotto rice. I asked them if I can get some rice and it was charged for 4euro 😅 It's too much for one rice bowl.

Phenomenal sushi! I'm really picky when it comes to sushi, but this is really great! I definitely have to stop by again when I'm in Leipzig.

Conclusion: Shiki offers an average experience with some weaknesses, particularly in service. Overall, there are better restaurants that offer more for the same price. Ambiance: The furnishings are fine, neither too flashy nor too simple. The music was pleasant and there is plenty of seating. Unfortunately, limescale or dishwasher stains were visible on the dishes. The women's toilets are beautifully decorated with artificial flowers. There is a staff lounge in the women's restroom, the door of which was open. This led to an uncomfortable feeling. Eat: The taste of the food was okay. The brioche beef tartare was tasty, but otherwise there was nothing special about it. There was no vegan selection on the menu, but something was offered upon request. The sushi fell apart, the edamame was too dry, and the matcha tiramisu was well presented but lacked flavor and didn't justify the price. Drinks: The cocktails were tasty and offered new flavors, but were served in inconvenient bowls that almost overflowed. Service: The waiting times were relatively long, even though the restaurant was only about 30% full. The staff wasn't very attentive and in the end the bill was just mentioned verbally without the bill itself being handed over.

I recently had the pleasure of discovering this Japanese restaurant, and I can only warmly recommend it! The cuisine is both delicious and light, ideal for those looking for a healthy option without compromising on taste. I was particularly impressed by the freshness of the ingredients and the preparation on site, which demonstrates true know-how. In addition to that, the atmosphere of the place is simply magnificent: a modern and warm decoration which invites relaxation and conviviality. A real favorite that will appeal to fans of Japanese gastronomy and those with dietary constraints!

Located directly at the market, Shiki offers a very good selection of freshly prepared Asian specialties. The service is quick and friendly. The atmosphere is very appealing. Reservation is advisable.

Absolute recommendation. Very friendly service.. great creative menu and excellent sushi. Great cocktails.

The food is delicious, but the wait for the order was 55 minutes and the check took another 25 minutes. Total time spent in the restaurant is 1 hour 30 minutes. , of which 1 hour 20 minutes waited for an order or payment! The sushi portions are so small that even a mouse won't get enough! For 100 euros there should be enough food for 3 people, but no such luck, everyone went to McDonald’s to eat more! It’s not for nothing that their average check per person is not displayed!

Have been there many times and it was great again.

The bill was wrong and food was good. Sadly I asked for the bill and we were not able to receive it as we thought we were charged too much. If restaurant isn't that cheap it should be able to print a bill, but they seem not to have put our orders in the system. Food was tasting ok and portions are small.

Great service, very, very tasty food and the atmosphere was very pleasant and appealing

We were brought to a table. Then no one came to the table for 10-15 minutes. The waitress gave us tickets without comment. The menu pages were dirty and confusing. We went there again. Apparently no one has that Service noticed...

The straw in the drink was unpleasantly sticky. Girl who cleaned toilet later came to the table to serve. Disgusting.

I have almost nothing to complain about. We had the sushi - The service was very quick and friendly. The sushi tasted wonderful, although it was a bit small - but it was high quality.

Very good cuisine…very good sushi

Während der Schwangerschaft zum Entspannen in ein Restaurant gehen und das Personal dreist mit Ihrem Mann flirten lassen? sehr unangenehmer Anblick. Die Hostess schaltete zunächst ihr Gehirn aus und schaute meinem Mann fast eine Minute lang in die Augen, anstatt uns irgendwo einen Platz zum Sitzen anzubieten. Dann wurden wir mit der Haltung des Kellners behandelt, als wären wir nach Mitternacht zu ihm nach Hause gekommen und hätten um kostenloses Essen gebeten. Die Wartezeit war sehr lang, es interessierte niemanden, ob wir leere Teller auf dem Tisch hatten (und die standen sehr lange da). Für diesen Preis gibt es maximal zwei Sterne. interessantes Servieren von Cocktails und insgesamt ein stilvoller Ort.

The food is really classy and therefore expensive. The plants outside are real and beautiful, all the plants inside are made of plastic. The chairs are old and dirty. Everything over 2m hasn't been cleaned since 2018. The waitress takes ages to bring new drinks. The highlight: in the men's toilet, the soap dispenser was hidden behind a plant and completely empty. “Upscale cuisine” looks different.

We went here twice for dinner during our stay in Leipzig. The restaurant is modernly furnished and very inviting, the welcome is warm and the service is quick and friendly. The food was beautifully prepared, the ingredients were fresh and it tasted really delicious. The only drawback was that our hot dishes were only served lukewarm on both days. Therefore a star deduction. We thought the wines with the meal were great and we also loved the crème brûlée.

There were four of us in the restaurant and we ate very, very tasty! We will definitely eat at SHIKI again on our next visit to Leipzig.

Sat outside on a wonderfully warm evening and enjoyed the exquisite food. There were four of us and we tested our way through the starters, Shitake Soup, Shumai and grilled ribs - just wonderful. The main courses: ShikiPremium Roll, Black and White, Omakase menu and because everything was soooo good there was also a seafood platter. Oh and I forgot also crunchy rolls We recommend!

The food is really very good. Everything is extremely tasty. To be repeated.

Chose the Luxury Baroto, their most expensive dish with beef and fish and seafood , the waiter didn’t even dare to ask for how I want my meat. He was extremely rude and as expected the meat was over cooked and tasteless.. The different sauces were great but the fish itself was very basic. Atmosphere is great but because of the waiter we won’t come back.

The Shiki Sushi restaurant is a true pearl for sushi lovers. The sushi here tastes fantastic and is of exceptional quality. Each dish is freshly prepared on site and the use of fresh ingredients can be clearly tasted. In terms of price, the Shiki is absolutely great - you really get damn good quality for the money you pay. The ambience at Shiki is stylish and cozy, so you immediately feel at home. Unfortunately the service leaves a lot to be desired. Employees often seem bored and inattentive. Sometimes they even walk away before the order is fully taken and you barely get a smile or eye contact when ordering itself. The restaurant could definitely improve here. Despite the service that could be improved, a visit to Shiki is definitely worth it. The excellent sushi and the quality of the food make every visit a culinary highlight. If you love sushi, you definitely shouldn't miss this experience.

Service war sehr unaufmerksam und schwach, wir haben zu 4. fast 1,5h auf unser Essen gewartet obwohl das Restaurant nur zu 30% ausgelastet war und 2 Speisen von der Tageskarte waren. Das Essen war nichts besonderes, es war nicht schlecht aber nichts was einen umhaut. Allgemein keinen zweiten Besuch wert, auch nicht einen Ersten für zukünftige Besucher.

Delicious sushi, but the gyoza wagyu beef is heavenly!

It's very cheeky how reviews that don't suit the operator are deleted via Google. You can also have your review “nicely deleted”.

It is a place to come back again and again

Very modern and relaxed atmosphere with very good food

Unfortunately it wasn't an experience today. The food is great, but unfortunately the service wasn't a highlight. Food, drinks and finally the bill were forgotten several times. We were really looking forward to the evening, but we didn't feel welcome.

Hervorragend - wir aßen zur Mittagszeit einen hervorragenden Papayasalat, eine vegane Bowl und ein gemischtes Sushi. Alle Gerichte waren sehr gut abgeschmeckt und liebevoll zubereitet. Preislich im Rahmen. Absolut zu empfehlen!

Very nicely-decorated restaurant in the centre of Leipzig. A bit pricey, but the quality and taste were quite good. The beef steak was a bit overcooked though, they didn’t know how to cook steak rare from the look of things. Service was friendly and attentive. Modern take on Japanese fare.

A very nice restaurant, really nice service and great food

Pretty Asian restaurant, friendly welcome and overall nice, attentive staff. We had a large round of appetizers and cocktails and everything was beautifully presented and extremely tasty. Sure the prices are higher, but we were happy to spend it for this special taste. Highly recommended and gladly again!!

Exceptionally good cuisine, but also extremely expensive. Everything fresh, very tasty and beautifully presented. Service very attentive.

A fantastically good dining area with a lot of different selections. Recommended

Absolutely high class... except for the wagyu.

A little “overrated & overprized”. The food was really not bad but too expensive for the quality and quantity. We had both starters and a large main course and didn't feel full. The ambience of the restaurant is tastefully furnished with a high-quality feel. Unfortunately, the service was clearly too slow and not attentive. The dishes on the menu sound more exclusive than they actually are. The sushi was actually very tasty but not particularly good - I would always prefer a small local for that.

The food is very good but there are hardly any vegetarian options and the portion sizes are very small for the price. Almost tapas-like

Schönes Ambiente, guter Service und super Essen! Wir hatten Suppe, Sushi und Empfehlungen alles sehr lecker. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

The ambience of the restaurant is nice and inviting. The service is really friendly and very quick. The food is creative and beautifully prepared - but it is also relatively spicy. That's too bad. Personally, I prefer to taste the individual nuances. A little tip to the restaurant: Less spices and more naturalness, so that the balance is right. The cards should also be checked as they look relatively worn out.

Far too expensive and you get far too little for your money

Absolutely top sushi!! Extremely high sashimi quality, tender to fall in love with

Going for sushi at Shiki is always a good idea! The fish is very fresh, the service staff are very friendly, great atmosphere (sometimes a bit loud) but always happy to come here

Spontaneously had lunch here in the middle of the week. Phenomenal! I'd be happy to pay a little more.

Food extremely tasty and presented in an aesthetically pleasing manner, service and ambience at a high level. Motivated to repeat.

My favorite sushi spot in Leipzig. Very friendly and great sushi ❤️❤️❤️

The food is very good. Price performance top Service was okay, as it was very busy, we had to wait a long time. When it became emptier, it was significantly better. Nothing works on the weekend without a reservation.

We ordered sushi and unfortunately the salmon, tuna and shrimp inside out all tasted the same. They look fancy, but unfortunately they have no taste. In fact, the sushi plate arrived after 5 minutes. This can be understood as very good service, but unfortunately the sushi was lukewarm on the outside and very cold on the inside. In other words, they were just warmed up and for me that is no proof of quality. The tuna also looked a bit older. Unfortunately we were still hungry and had to bring dinner forward.

Four of us went for sushi today and were very disappointed. It takes a relatively long time for the order to be taken and the food to be delivered. Because of the good reviews, we ate sushi and were very disappointed with the price-performance ratio. The quantity was very manageable, the wasabi was bland and the rolls all tasted the same. They looked good, but the taste was a disappointment. The rice was like rice pudding, in the end the four of us ate it for €170 and went to the next restaurant.

Unfortunately we were not welcome. We didn't get anything other than an unreserved placement. It wasn't full and only those who made reservations received menus. That's why I can unfortunately only rate the ambience as good. Too bad.

The food was really good, but we don't speak German and the server didn't really try to understand us.

From starter to main course to dessert, super fresh and delicious, attentive service and nice atmosphere, fully recommended and we would love to come back 👍

Food, drinks & service are always excellent. Thank you

Ich kann mich den Vor-Kritikern hier nicht anschließen. Sowohl das Tartar als Vorspeise, wie auch der Thunfisch im Hauptgang waren sehr gut. Die Atmosphäre ist stylisch, der Service sehr gut.

Cool atmosphere, nice service, great food and delicious drinks! Top location in downtown Leipzig. Gladly again!

Very good food, in my opinion. according to the best Japanese restaurant in the city. For five stars when it comes to food, I would like an excellent steak (mine had too much tendon this time), but the steaks are still of a very high standard. I also want excellent service, but despite everything, this was very good (with a steak, I always expect the staff to ask how I want it). I would love to come back.

The service was really great! Unfortunately, one of my companions had a small spider in the glass. Our table was right in the entrance area, so our meal was disturbed by many people walking past. The menu is relatively small, as are the portions compared to the price. All in all, the Shiki seems a bit overrated.

Not particularly convincing! High prices and dirty menus as well as poor service don't go together. I didn't understand why we received a menu that is probably no longer valid but fits the crappy service. Despite the starter and main course (55€), I left the restaurant hungry… Nicely prepared but that's about it! Won't be coming back a second time.

Short, crisp card, everything essential mentioned Super Service Not cheap Coherent in the ambience

Freundlicher Service... Super Atmosphäre aufgrund der stylischen Einrichtung des Restaurants. Die Karte war übersichtlich mit sehr leckeren Delikatessen... Wir kommen sicherlich wieder!

Nice big restaurant with appealing decorum located in center city, ideal for pedestrian to get to on foot but if your driving prepare to pay extra for public parking in an underground garage close by. The restaurant had an extensive menu with Robata grill, sushi, and other oriental style food mixes. I specifically came for the sushi dish but was not impressed with either taste (bland) or freshness of the fish. The wasabi and soy sauce mixture was mediocre and mixing the two together only produced little kernels of wasabi floating in the sauce and not the fine creamy mixture you get from quality wasabi. The pickled ginger also tasted like it was from a commercial vendor. Maybe the hour of the evening I came to eat had something to do with the tired tasting sushi but if I should be in downtown Leipzig again I might consider some of the other courses on the menu offered and at an earlier time of the day.

The Shiki once again impressed with its usual quality. The only point of criticism is the worn-out menus that you don't want to touch anymore...

Very good modern cuisine. Prices are high, but appropriate for the quality of the food. Sushi was very good and the waiting time for the food was okay. If you want to eat well, you can recommend SHIKI.

Successful contemporary ambience, chilled beats. Very attentive & friendly service. Food excellent. Reservation process easy online. Always my pleasure.

So delicious and everyone was very friendly. Cozy! Something for everyone!

Super tasty and great ambience.

A special culinary experience 😋

Unfortunately, portions are now significantly too small for the prices quoted. Service often tends to be rather poor.

It was really a very nice evening. The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly. We had beef steak. Very tender - reservation is important. We'd love to come back.

Too expensive for what it is. Service is poor, quality of food has decreased and prices are too high. The last few times were unfortunately disappointing in terms of taste and service. A pity.

The dishes were all beautifully presented and tasted very good. The visit was worth it.

Very tasty, but not exactly cheap sushi. A more upscale restaurant

The quality that is delivered is simply unbelievable, the chefs and the service are simply exemplary, the freshness of the food is incredible, the ambience is modern, cozy but not exaggerated, a place to feel good and enjoy

Not recommended. A piece of plastic was stuck to my sushi, however it got there. I also ordered the lobster soup with two pieces of lobster and a sliced ​​tomato floating in it. This is a rip off for €15!!! This restaurant is by far the worst sushi shop in Leipzig. We felt like we got nothing for spending €100. I definitely don't recommend this restaurant, at least not if you want to eat good sushi!

Basically the food is tasty and high quality. We had the Shiki threesome. The price at 35 euros is okay. However, for the high prices you should also expect attentive service and ambience. Unfortunately, the menus were very worn out and it wasn't set correctly and the cutlery only came after the meal when asked. Unfortunately, the level suggested was not met during our visit

This place is expensive but it's worth it. I've only been there twice but both times the food, service and staff were 10/10 excellent. We recommend. I would give 5/5 stars but they lose one because of the high prices. This is a place you only go to on special occasions unless you are rich. However, if I were rich, I would probably eat there every day. Treat yourself and eat there!

Were very disappointed this time. Only one out of 6 friends was satisfied.

very nice lunch. good food and nice seating

Great food (it really was a special treat and looked fantastic too) and very attentive (yet very unobtrusive) service in a harmonious environment. We liked it very much. Highly Recommended!

Das Essen und Ambiente ergänzen sich ganz ausgezeichnet. So war es für alle Beteiligten eine schöne Erfahrung. (Wenn man alle Starter bestellt bekommt man 4 Erwachsene perfekt satt und alle können alles mal probieren. 😉)
