Shiki Japanese - Cody

My girlfriend and I have eaten here several times and have loved all of it. I've lived in Yellowstone for many years and have held off of eating here because I didn't think a place like Cody WY would have decent sushi, but we were both pleasantly surprised, to say the least. The owners seems very sweet. They were open this past valentines day and it was honestly the best valentines date we've ever had. Our server was young but tried at least, but again the owners clearly cared about the food and service, and we could not have been happier. We now have two go to restaurants in cody, Michael's Tacos, and Shiki, the rest seems to be tourist trash.

I know Ikuko and her Husband, since they opened the Shiki here in Cody. While I love Sushi, I love the people who own this restaurant. They are cheerful, warm and sincerely wonderful folks. They make amazing, authentic and inspired cosine for folks that are often travelling through our area without much care, or thought about what living here in this community and climate is like for a business owner the other 9-10 months that they need to make a living. Locals usually, if they give it more than one chance, find they love the Shiki! The food can be hit or miss, and a lot of that is due to The Owners teaching others how to master the simplicity of what comes naturally to them, as cheeseburgers do to us. Another reason the service can be lacking is that we are a TOURIST AREA, and therefore have a constantly changing (quitting, moving, lackluster people) service base to choose from. All of the restaurants in Cody have these issues. And all of the Owners, and really great, cheerful and helpful folks that do work in these places suffer along with the worthless with poor comments and a one off review. I live here. I have for over 20 years. I have eaten at this business for almost 10 years. Read my review also, and maybe come in for lunch, and a few days later on your way home, try dinner. It might just make you a believer.

Wow I just got the chicken satay and nearly 9 dollars for two small skewers and they are cold and dry how expensive. Its just chicken?

We have eaten here twice now and my wife and loved it both times..My son served two years in Japan and told us about the sushi there and how much he liked it so we tried it in Cody and got to say we are hooked! My sons girl friends uncle has eaten sushi all over the Orient and said this is as good as it gets for authenticity.

You can�t say it gets any more unique than a Japanese restaurant sitting just a block or two from Buffalo Bill�s famous old �Hotel in the Rockies�, The Irma, on main street in Cody, WY. It may not be as unusual as you would think, considering one piece of local history: Heart Mountain. Shiki sits about 10 miles south of Heart Mountain itself, and about 12 miles southwest of its infamous namesake: The Heart Mountain relocation center. One of several Japanese internment camps set up in World War II by the U.S. Government. Makes the fact that Shiki is here all that more interesting.
