Shokitini - Athens

On Monday evening after shokitini. be ready to pay for the park, unless it is a Sunday. there was a handful of other tables that were occupied when we were there, but we never had to wait long for the service. the appetizers came quickly and so the main meal and dessert. We decided to sit at the sushi bar pro recommended by a friend. we received a free salat and roasted mushroom buffer with thun fish. we ordered a sushi dinner for 2 $49.95 we put in the special request box we love eel, but are open to try new dinge. the meal came with an additional ingwersalat and a misosuppe. it was such a nice experience to make our dinner before the sushi cook. He checked us at lunch, and we need to get him over what was delicious. we have a nice sortiment. favorites were the bbq eel, conch, albacore, salmon, and yellowtail. tuna and red snapper were in order. all the fish are fresh, clean and beautiful. the cone had a beautiful solid texture and the bbq eel is just delicious. hubby loved mainly the tempoura roll and double-stamp roll. dinner ended with free roasted oreos. I recommend to come and sit in the sushi bar. great food and fantastic service. absolutely beautiful.

I love Japanese food. The meal consisted of a seaweed cucumber salad, sea bass soup, and a Blackberry sorbet for dessert. Each dish was well done. The soup arrived in a teapot which kept it warm. I sat at the bar and watched the chefs work. Again, a nice relaxed meal in a beautiful setting.

Shokitini is the best restaurant in all of Athens! I always sit at the bar when I visit, which is usually 2-3 times every week. The three bartenders, Mitch, Tim, and Evelyn, are phenomenal. They are the three best bartenders in town too. They give the absolute best service and talk to you like you're a very good friend. They always make me feel welcome and loved. Truly the best of the best. The food is delicious too! I have never had a bad meal there which is also another reason as to why I keep on going back. Having dinner there is definitely one of the highlights of my week. I will truly miss this place once I graduate from UGA and move out of Athens.

Went here for dinner on a weekday evening and sat by the sushi bar. Wasn’t too busy but not totally empty either. They gave complimentary appetizers of a small salad and a mushroom puff with tuna filling. Both were nice. We also ordered the edamame and a seaweed salad as appetizers. The edamame were cooked properly — neither over nor undercooked. The seaweed salad was decent too. Got some salmon nigiri, tomago (egg omelette) nigiri, salmon small rolls, and the eel hand roll. Everything was good, but nothing was exceptional. Have had better versions of each of these dishes at other places. The quality of the raw fish was acceptable, though nothing to rave about. The service was good too. In addition to the two appetizers mentioned earlier, they also comped a dessert of fried Oreos. At times the server failed to notice us when we were trying to catch her attention, but that was fine. Overall, I’d say it’s a solid four star experience. Am likely to return sometime, but probably not in a great hurry.

Took my wife here for karaoke for her birthday. Good selection and she had a blast. Room reservation process was easy, just make sure you reserve with plenty of time in advance because they're very popular. Our room server Frances was very attentive, kept the drinks coming and was super nice and personable. The only thing I didn't care for was that I told them our party would be dining after we were done in the room to which they said they would take care of getting us a table. When we came out of the karaoke room, no arrangements had been made and it would have taken another 40 minutes to get a table for our party. Just a minor oversight.
