Went on a Monday night to Shokitini. Be prepared to pay to park unless it’s a Sunday. There were a handful of other tables occupied when we got there, but we never had to wait long for service. Appetizers came quickly and so did the main meal and dessert. We decided to sit at the sushi bar per recommendation from a friend. We were given a complimentary salad and fried mushroom puff with tuna appetizer. We ordered a sushi dinner for 2 for $49.95. We put in the special request box that we love eel, but are open to trying new things. The meal came with an additional ginger salad and miso soup. It was such a neat experience to sit in front of where the sushi chef was making our dinner. He checked in on us while we were eating, and we got to rave to him about how delicious everything was. We ended up with a lovely assortment. Favorites were the bbq eel, conch, albacore, salmon, and yellowtail. Tuna and red snapper were alright. All of the fish tasted fresh, clean, and lovely. The conch had a nice firm texture and the bbq eel is just simply delicious. Hubby especially loved the shrimp tempura roll and double punch roll. Dinner ended with complimentary fried Oreos. I highly recommend coming and sitting at the sushi bar. Fabulous food and fantastic service. Absolutely delightful time.

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. Ok addition to the two appetizers mentioned, 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.
Absolutely amazing. Great/fast service. Nigiri and Hand rolls were perfect. Dinner came with complimentary mushroom puff and finished with fried oreo. One of my favorite sushi places ever
I’m giving this 5 Stars, but it definitely deserves way more. First of all- extra stars for staying open late. Secondly- more stars for having amazingly fresh sushi that is well-made and presented beautifully. The atmosphere here is great. I was here late on a Saturday night. The place was busy, but we were seated quickly and the service was prompt. We didn’t wait long for drinks, appetizers, or salads. The sushi was prepared by at least 4-5 Chefs who were fun to watch! We stuck mostly with Nigiri and passed on the rolls, but I’ll be back to try them because some sounded FABULOUS!! This will be my absolute go-to place for sushi in town.
This place was so enjoyable! Went after work on a Friday night and it was busy but worth the wait. Drinks are spot on and sushi is perfect. Server was very attentive and it was cool to watch the sushi chefs make our sushi.
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.
