SHIKI Restaurant & Cocktailbar in Dresden

We recently visited the Shiki restaurant in Dresden – and it was a real gastronomic experience. The first thing that impressed us was the service, especially from the waitress Amélie. She greeted us with a smile, was very friendly, accompanied us to our table and set the cutlery with great care. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the start. Amélie didn't just care about the service - she really made us feel comfortable. She recommended dishes that were not only exceptional but also incredibly delicious. The service was of the highest standard – attentive, unobtrusive and warm. As for the food – it was simply outstanding. We ordered 10 oysters, and each one was perfectly opened, fresh and served in style. The salmon tartare was tender, delicately seasoned and the sesame oil gave it a special touch. Every dish was thought out down to the smallest detail – both in terms of taste and presentation. Our impression of the evening was simply unforgettable. It was one of those evenings where everything was perfect: atmosphere, service, cuisine and mood. We already recommend this restaurant to our friends and will definitely come back. "Shiki is a place where every dish is prepared with heart and every guest feels special. Thank you for an evening that we will remember with a smile for a long time."

I have rarely spent so much money on such subpar food. If you like good food, I don't recommend it.

The food is very good and the cocktails are incredibly tasty and an experience for the palate and eyes :-)

We were there recently, and it was a lovely experience. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. You could see how sushi is made live, which I really enjoyed. I can also recommend the cocktails. The interior is very cozy, and you immediately feel at home. However, I found it a bit cramped, as the restaurant was very busy, so be sure to make a reservation in advance! The prices were a bit high; from experience, I know you can get similarly good sushi in the Neustadt district for less money. Still, it was a great and successful evening.

Excellent food and service. I thoroughly enjoyed my non-alcoholic cocktail and my 3-course meal. I fully recommend SHIKI Restaurant & Cocktailbar if you like Asian cuisine and Japanese food. I will be back for sure.

We ordered the first menu. The food was small (only 1 dish with 1 variety of sushi), tasteless or very salty (it was different), the soy sauce was very salty and it wasn't worth the €33 they asked us for just this menu.

The food was truly awful. Aside from the fact that every single dish was either meatless or fishy, ​​it simply wasn't worth the price. The service was excellent, but the atmosphere was far too hectic, even though the chairs were very comfortable. I wouldn't recommend it.

In short, the sushi is simply amazing. They have fantastic cocktails that you wouldn't normally expect. I've been there several times and the quality has always been top-notch.

We went to SHIKI for lunch with colleagues today and were very impressed. A great selection of food, not only beautifully prepared but also delicious, was complemented by excellent service. We felt completely at home and would happily recommend SHIKI.

Food and drink perfectly fine 4 out of 5.

Great place with nice service. The food taste really good but the cocktails and drinks not so. I can recommend this place, especially for business purpose as the place is quite luxurious and high-quality food.

After we were in this restaurant for the first time shortly after the restaurant opened, we visited the restaurant for the second time yesterday, Saturday. After our first visit we had positive memories of the restaurant, whereas yesterday's visit was a complete disappointment. We were the first guests to enter the restaurant when it opened at 11:30 a.m. and were rudely asked about the number of guests by an employee at the door. My wife and I were then directed to the front of the restaurant with just a wave of her arm by the smaller of the two employees. When we wanted to sit down at a table for four in the otherwise empty restaurant because of the extremely small tables for two and by the window, the rude waitress immediately came over and provocatively asked again how many guests we really were. Since there were only two of us, we would have to make do with a table for two. Point! Actually, we should have left here already. So we moved because we assumed that a tour group would soon come along and fill the tables of four (which, as it turned out later, didn't come). When taking the order, when I lifted the menu card - due to the limited space on the table for two - unfortunately the cutlery items underneath the menu card fell to the floor and right in front of the employee's feet. The employee's reaction to my apology was simply a demonstrative roll of her eyes and crossed arms. The waitress didn't make the slightest attempt to pick up the cutlery. So, with another apology, I picked up the cutlery that was in front of her, which the waitress then took away without comment. However, I was wrong when I expected the waitress to bring me new cutlery. She didn't bring any new cutlery, either immediately afterwards or with the meal. I then inevitably had to take the cutlery from the neighboring table. The food, which came after an ordering time of no less than 40 minutes (!!!), was carelessly placed on the table after we had to make space on the small table ourselves by stacking the menu cards, bowls, napkins and other containers around the edges. “Enjoy your meal,” the waitress mumbled emotionlessly and was just audible as she walked away, when she had already turned her head away from us. The guests at the neighboring table later also had their food placed on the table just as emotionlessly. With regard to the long ordering time, we had the impression that the kitchen had yet to start operating and that they were not yet prepared for guests to order. Unfortunately, my significantly overpriced chicken meat was also dry and tough. Both portions, my wife's and mine, weren't exactly plentiful. At least we will be full immediately afterwards. Conclusion: You can't do your job more lovingly. Here it was shown to the guests that guests are seen as a nuisance and the guests whose wishes apparently only disturb the chatting and fooling around between the two employees, because this unfriendly smaller of the two employees was having a lot of fun with her colleague on the other side of the restaurant. Unfortunately, not the guests who were offered the whole thing for 65 euros. You can't really express more contempt for the paying guests. If you want to ruin a restaurant's reputation, do just that! Luckily in Dresden you have enough choice and you don't have to accept such behavior. We will not be visiting this restaurant again and we cannot recommend it in good conscience!

We were there in the late afternoon, so there wasn't much going on. The waitresses and the waiter seemed annoyed. We received the wrong order and therefore had to wait longer for the correct dish. Which meant we couldn't eat together. There was no apology or anything like that - a shame. The food was okay, but the prices are... not justified. We were neither asked if the food was tasty nor did we feel welcome. We won't be coming back. The service and food do not match the upscale atmosphere. We were disappointed and left with a bad feeling.

One of my favorite restaurants in Dresden so far! I left around €200 for 2 people, but it was still worth it, very tasty and great service 🔝🍣

Cocktails are awesome, the food is very innovative and delicious, despite the expensive price. Service was very friendly and always attentive, with a great view of the Zwinger by Night on the upper floor. I can only warmly recommend it. A little tip: make a reservation on the weekend, otherwise it will be tight. All in all a great experience, we would love to come back!❤️

Everything was super tasty. We were here in a small group on Saturday evening. The miso soup, the sushi platter for two people, the gyoza, the Japanese fried rice, duck teriyaki, etc. are of very high quality but also very expensive! You have to think carefully about this with your precious money. Service was super nice and very quick. It can get a bit loud there.

High-class cuisine that is second to none. Always enthusiastic and culinary delights. Whether sushi or other dishes! You can taste Japanese here!

Great restaurant with a feel-good guarantee! Fresh, healthy dishes with a “Wow!” look. Very attentive service. Chic atmosphere. Any time!

One of my go-to places in Dresden. Delicious, well prepared food, amazing service and atmosphere. Don't leave before trying Japanese Hotbox!

Great ambience, great quality and very nice and attentive service.

It was very nice and super delicious food. But nothing for those on a budget, but great for special occasions.

Unfortunately the price/performance ratio is not right here, the lobster ramen is a disappointment in terms of taste. The shrimp smelled very strong and were very firm. The sushi was nothing special & not worth the money. The service was good. All in all, I would eat somewhere else for that money.

We have eaten here several times, but unfortunately the taste has deteriorated considerably. The higher prices are no longer justified.

The hostess spoke to us disrespectfully, a dozen of us, didn't want to sit us at the table and finally sent us home, which spoiled our mood.

terrible service, the hostess sent us home because she didn't want to sit us at the table. SHE SPOILED OUR MOOD .

We were very satisfied! Food was excellent, service was very nice, we had a wonderful evening there :) and what I definitely have to mention, the restaurant looks really nice! Always my pleasure

I loved it each time, great drinks and awesome dishes nicely presented 👍😎

Shiki – A disgrace of a restaurant! What's happening here isn't just bad service - it's an insult to every guest willing to spend their hard-earned money. Our visit was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The waiter? Impudent and arrogant. When he came to our table, we weren't ready to order drinks yet - he then made an annoyed face, as if he had better things to do than serve guests. Thereafter? Absolute ignorance! He never came back to ask about our drink requests. Our glasses remained empty and his disinterest was almost demonstrative. The food? A joke! The prices are a complete disgrace for what is served here. You can get the same dishes for a fraction of the price at an average restaurant. But here you don't pay for quality, but rather for the feeling of being cheated. And as if that wasn't enough, our food arrived last - even though we ordered much earlier than other guests. Apparently there are no rules in this chaos shop. And then the cherry on top: the sushi rolls were so poorly made that they fell apart at the first bite. A pitiful sight. Eating sushi with a spoon – in a supposedly upscale Japanese restaurant? Ridiculous! As if that wasn't enough, the waiters right next to us were loudly polishing cutlery and clattering knives so that we couldn't even understand each other. A feeling of hospitality? None! The waiter treated us with open indifference, almost contempt. No smile, no effort, just disinterest. So if you have too much money and would like to be treated like scum, you should definitely go to Shiki. Everyone else: avoid this place at all costs! Chaos, arrogance and mediocre food packed into a hollow show. Embarrassing, shameful and absolutely not recommended!

We came without a reservation, but the friendly lady at reception quickly found a solution for us. The atmosphere and service were first class – simply at the highest level! The tea was exceptionally aromatic and unique. I ordered a salad with duck breast - fresh, with fruity notes, and the meat was crispy and delicious. I also tried the duck breast with noodles that my friend ordered. The texture of the meat was wonderfully tender, with a slight hint of smoke - it literally melted in your mouth. A great culinary experience – highly recommended!

My absolute insider tip if you want to eat fine in Dresden. Everything tastes very good, freshly prepared 😋 Be sure to reserve a table.

I would like to thank the entire Shiki team for our fantastic practice party last Friday. Food, drinks, service, decoration...everything sensational. I would especially like to thank Ms. Phan! Your professional appearance and your organization have saved me a lot of work...an "all-round, worry-free package". Thanks so much! We'd love to come back!

This store is simply a dream! The best sushi, the nicest staff and just a great experience from start to finish! Gladly again! ❤️

Delicious food, motivated employees in a beautiful atmosphere!

I was there for the first time the day before New Year's Eve. So delicious. Totally attentive and lovely service. From the appetizer to the cocktail - everything was really good. Despite the full house, it was still a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend the French toast as an appetizer. Be sure to reserve a table on the weekends!

Great restaurant, a very interesting menu and absolutely delicious dishes. The fish was first class! So far the best sushi restaurant in Germany for us.

We had dinner with friends in this restaurant. Unfortunately we did not get a table on the upper floor which really has the better atmosphere, because there are less tables. Less bistro style. Food and service were really good. So definitely recommended!

Found it by chance and absolutely loved it. From the cocktail to the food to the service, everything was perfect. Not cheap but absolutely worth the price.

Good food and very unusual, delicious cocktails. Unfortunately the armrest on my chair fell off.

Food was ok. But I don't think oysters are really fresh.

I was there yesterday and I'm really excited ;-)

It was our first time here and we were really impressed. Very friendly staff. We had really good sushi 🍣. Good wine! Highly recommended restaurant. Thank you 👍

Very friendly staff. Enjoy your meal. Good location. A bit expensive for the quality 😊

We had a really nice evening at Shiki in Dresden! The food was simply great – from fresh oysters to delicious appetizers to the perfectly fried filet mignon. The sushi rolls were also great and beautifully prepared. There was also plenty of champagne, which made the evening even more special. Great food, good atmosphere - we'll definitely be back!

Absolutely awesome! Food like this makes me reconsider my 5 star reviews at other places!

Was there for the second time - the food is really excellent! Everything is fresh, superbly prepared, very well presented and tastes great!

Very, very friendly staff and the food was great.

Unfortunately I can't rate the food at all because we left. In front of the restaurant there was a large display with offers and low prices without restrictions. When we went inside to look for these deals on the menu, the waitress informed us that they were only valid Monday through Friday, but it was Saturday. We are of course aware of this regulation and it is completely fine, but it was not to be found at the exhibitor. When I pointed it out to her, she claimed it was there. When I showed her that it wasn't true, she said that it had been washed off by yesterday's rain (it hadn't rained). That was too cheeky.

The rooms were a bit too dark for me but otherwise it was really worth the visit. We had really quick and very friendly service and the food was really worth the money. A fresh food and special creation, simply wonderful. I had such a delicious non-alcoholic cocktail that I will visit this restaurant again in the coming days for that reason alone.

The reservation was uncomplicated. We received a very friendly welcome. Food and drinks were top. The waiter was super nice. It wasn't the last time we were there.

Top address for an extraordinary evening. Great service that leaves nothing to be desired.

We were thrilled with the sashimi platter from the sushi chef, the friendly service and the appealing ambience of the restaurant. We are happy to recommend it.

Best restaurant in Dresden! Top food, great service… attractive location.

Mega leckeres Essen, nicht ganz so preiswert. Aber man darf sich ja auch mal was gönnen und hier macht das auch Spaß, da es sehr abwechslungsreiche Speisen gibt. Egal ob man Sushi mag oder nicht - es gibt auch sehr leckere Alternativen. Die Weine haben uns nicht so überzeugt, aber das ist ja bekanntlich Geschmackssache.

Four of us were guests on a Saturday evening and we were not disappointed. The service was attentive, wait times were short and the food was excellent. The only (small) point deduction I actually have to give is for my lobster ramen. A great dish in itself, but I would have liked the lemon pepper sauce to be a little more intense. However, it's fair to say that I had the really outstanding Seafood Soup beforehand, which was really rich and strong and therefore probably influenced my taste. Final conclusion: I would eat here again and again. Keep it up

All around just a great restaurant. Great ambience, very friendly service and the cuisine and drinks are great 👍🏼 Keep it up Team SHIKI

The food was very, very good. A real pleasure. Can be recommended with a clear conscience.

Very nice restaurant, cozy and stylishly furnished. On a Monday evening we even got a table without a reservation, despite the restaurant being pretty full. The table was beautifully set and the service was very friendly. We were advised that the sushi would take a little longer as the sushi master was busy. But the wait was definitely worth it. The sushi was really perfect. The salmon was super tender, the vegetables were fresh, the avocado was perfectly ripe. The salmon tartare on the sushi was also delicious!

What good sushi! Absolutely great!!!

Fast and courteous service. Food extremely tasty.

Without words. Food, service, ambience. Everything great.

Very high price, but the food and service are top notch. Super friendly. The fish (sashimi) melts in your mouth. A top address for sushi & Co. in Dresden. On weekends it is advisable to make a reservation in advance otherwise it could be tight.

Absurdly expensive. The udon noodles with chicken were absolutely nothing special. Unfortunately the chicken was particularly bland. Sushi looked amazing. Aperol Spritz 9 euros.

Very nice service and really good food. I had a very nice evening here :)

On a city trip to Dresden - we were actually looking for another restaurant, on the way there we passed Shiki or decided we would rather eat there. What a pleasant surprise!!! Modern but cozy atmosphere with a shelf that reaches to the ceiling, filled with various vodkas, gins and whiskeys from Asian production. The service was very nice and attentive, the meal was much more tasty than average, grilled duck breast with various vegetables and teriyaki sauce for my wife, also grilled duck breast with Asian noodles for me - EXCEPTIONALLY tasty, the duck breast grilled to perfection (i.e. still very light in the middle bloody) - for me the best duck breast so far! The service, ambience and the meal deserve at least five stars and we will definitely eat something delicious there again on our next trip to Dresden. Absolute recommendation!!!!!

I was there for the second time and I'm thrilled again. A great restaurant with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff! The sushi is great, but the other dishes are also delicious! You can watch the chefs preparing the food. I will definitely come back on my next visit to Dresden.

It was a very nice visit to the restaurant, the sushi is one of the best in the city. I would come back.

Who knows what the food tastes like. Even after an hour you still get nothing. The organization is obviously more than questionable. If you cannot adequately handle large numbers of guests, you should not accept guests. I am very disappointed and upset.

Very tasty, clean and nice staff. Clear recommendation.

There were five of us in this restaurant and unfortunately we had some negative experiences with the service. At first we had to wait a long time for the menu and finally got it ourselves because there was no waitress in sight. While the starter came quickly, we had to wait significantly longer for both the main courses and the dessert. Another problem was that no soy sauce was served with the sushi. We spent a long time trying to get the waiter's attention to ask about it, which took far too long. The positive aspects are the food and the ambience, which we liked overall. The drinks and food were beautifully presented and there was a wide variety of dishes. However, neither the sushi nor the Thai curry was particularly outstanding - it was just good. All in all a mixed experience where the food was good but the service was disappointing.

I like it very much. And since we ended up there the first time unintentionally, it's all the better. The food is really amazing. Prepared so lovingly and never had better sushi. The service is great, attentive but not intrusive. I feel comfortable and would like to come back.

It tastes really good, but I get more for the money in other good sushi restaurants

Delicious! The carpaccio is great! The tuna tataki is an absolute recommendation. Very friendly, attentive staff!

A very special place! We've been there a few times and are always thrilled.

The motto seems to be that the more expensive, posh ingredients combined at once, the tastier. But I can't confirm it. In any case, the taste doesn't justify the price. (4 dishes were tried)

You cool restaurant in the middle of Dresden. We had great service, very nice and friendly and attentive. The food was excellent in terms of taste and presentation. FULL points.

Top location, very good service and delicious food. Everything was fine. Perfetto

Will be back again. Lovely restaurant

Delicious food, very good service 😊

Great food. Inexpensive on the lunch menu. We recommend

If goggle had more stars I would have given it more than 5 the food was damn tasty the chiller instinct I could have drank liters of it it was so delicious everything was perfect I'll always be happy that was the first time I ate crunchy rolls and fresh oysters and I loved it, it is a recommendation for anyone who wants to go out for a meal rich in vitamins

Very tasty food, many vegetarian alternatives and delicious exotic drinks. The staff is friendly and courteous.

We went there on a spur of the moment and got a table without any problems. Food & cocktails were really tasty and the staff was very friendly. Price/performance okay.

By far the best meal during our week in Dresden! An excellent salmon sashimi, tuna on the stone and, and, and. Plus an absolutely great service! Always happy to be here.

Was there outside yesterday after work. It was quite loud the whole time due to tram and car traffic. Almost all of the tables were bare - no napkins, cutlery, etc., and no soy sauce on the tables. Ordering the drink was relatively quick. I chose the fish soup as a starter. Then a small bowl arrived that wasn't worth the money (€14.50). Too little content for too much money! Then I waited 45 minutes for my Sushi for One menu (recommended by the waitress) for €33.90. I was simply forgotten. While I was waiting, I wasn't asked if I wanted a new drink. When I asked about the menu, the waitress who took my order thought I wanted to pay. 😎 I turned down a half-price dessert to compensate. The trouble was too great and it wasn't that full of guests. This was my first and last visit there!!

Everything is really right here, the dishes are super tasty, the atmosphere is nice. Furthermore, the cocktails are very creative!

Superfreundliche Bedienung, Essen hervorragend und ein Geschmackserlebnis, wir kommen bei unserem nächsten Dresden Besuch auf jeden Fall wieder

Price-performance ratio not good

We were disappointed.. a salad for €16.00 which had a few lettuce leaves in it which unfortunately tasted like earth and 4 small pieces of duck, the peanuts described in the salad were completely missing. The sushi tasted good but fell apart a bit. Drinks were good. Overall a bit disappointing though, we went in hungry and left hungry.

Appearances are deceiving. The employees are very friendly, but unfortunately not very accommodating. Unfortunately, the typical questions about whether everything was okay didn't materialize, and when we were clearing away we didn't ask whether it was tasty, just whether we were full. The food itself was very tasteless and every sushi tasted equally bland. I never thought salmon could taste like nothing. Wasabi and ginger were okay so far but that's not what I go to a sushi restaurant for... Maybe it's nicely prepared for taking photos and as an influencer, but unfortunately it's tasteless. The prices are also very inappropriate. No recommendation from me.

The interior is beautiful, the staff is very friendly, there is nothing to complain about, the food looks wonderful and it tastes exactly the same. Only recommended

A super central corner with a nice view (albeit right on the street but in the 30s zone). The food was tasty and the portions were a good size, the non-alcoholic cocktails were great! However, the price (probably due to the location) is steep in relation to the food. Not recommended for regular visits but recommended as a special event

Incredibly delicious! Very personable and professional service, obviously only the best, freshest ingredients. Gladly again!

Very nice restaurant with nice service staff and delicious food The prices are a bit high

We were at SHIKI on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was busy at 6 p.m. but not crowded. The noise was pleasant and the ambiance was chic and upscale without being too over the top. It was just SHIKI (: The food was really very tasty. There was nothing wrong with it. The menu was very diverse and included vegetarian, vegan and meat dishes, so that everyone got their money's worth. What I personally found lacking at Lobster Ramen was the service. On the one hand, the menu doesn't say that you are served king prawns, which you have to cut up yourself, and on the other hand, a refreshing towel for your fingers and an additional plate for the shells were only brought after I had given a clear indication. There was no special cutlery, but that was okay. However, these are things that, in my opinion, really have to be in a restaurant that charges €28 for 3 king prawns with 100 g of ramen and some salad. Apart from that, the menus unfortunately stuck terribly, but that can be overlooked in the overall picture. It was definitely a nice evening.

What a great restaurant! The sushi was top notch! We'll definitely be back!

Since we were brushed off at 10:30 p.m. on a Saturday with “we’re closed,” I unfortunately can’t say anything about the drinks. Online opening time 00:30. 1/3 of the places were still occupied. The mood in the store has already completely gone down to zero. Next time call ahead? Or just don't come back.

I was very impressed with this restaurant. I received a very friendly welcome. I didn't have a reservation and I was even allowed to choose a seat that was still available. The staff is friendly and courteous. I had a cocktail drink brought to me called CHILLER INSTINCT, simply refreshing. The restaurant also has a cocktail bar that offers various spectacular drinks. I would love to try all the cocktails... As a starter I had Tom Yam Gung (soup), it was simply amazing! Intense flavor and slightly spicy, you have to try it! For the main course I ate grilled duck a la EXOTIC TAMARIND STYLE. The meat was delicately pink and tasted slightly smoky, excellent flavor, vegetables were crunchy as they should be. For dessert I ordered chocolate mousse, which came with three different “cams”. - Matcha - Chocolate - Fruit Simply a dream dessert! I'll come back on my next visit! :)

Very good cuisine... always happy again

More cocktail bar than sushi - if you like that, you've come to the right place, lots of sushi variations with cream cheese - that doesn't have much in common with traditional sushi - little selection of nigiri, salmon and scallop and salmon sashimi was good, we would have liked more sushi, next time that's enough us the cocktail menu.

We haven't been here. We just looked at the menu. Although it is quite expensive, it seems very good.
