Shan Kishi Japanese Hibachi

Horrible! My family and I ate there last night at the hibachi table and our chef did not interact with us at all; no tricks, no personality, no nothing. He was the Hispanic looking chef. On top of that, the waitress we had gave me an attitude each time I asked for something. I had to remind her 3 times about the white rice that was suppose to come with one of the meals. This is the second time we been to this restaurant with horrible service. Never again!

Service is awful! Server didn’t give enough time to read the menu, was asking if we are ready to make an order every few minutes. There supposed to be some shrimps which come with the entrée, but when we got the food, there were no additional shrimps with it. When we asked server, she said it was added to the entrée plate, even though menu stated it was an appetizer, and the entrée already contained shrimps, so they just added apetaizer to the main dish. I was still eating my sushi when they come and took my sauces away… Looked like they were in hurry even though there were just 3 tables occupied… Would NOT recommend this place to my friends and will never come back again.

We went with a large group (14), and we had to wait a long time to eat. They made us wait for everyone to get there before they seated us (even though the place wasn’t busy), and then we sat at the hibachi tables for a very long time before they took our order and got things rolling. The entertainment at the table was good, but the food was only OK. The steak and chicken that we ordered were both overcooked a little; the shrimp wasn’t bad. I imagine that I’ll end up going here again eventually, but probably only because some other friends really like it. My expectations aren’t all that great.

Some of the best sushi I’ve had. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves sushi and is visiting Pensacola. The staff was helpful and really attentive to our needs.

no. don’t go there. nihao this is fake chinese sushi place. too small, no fish, expensive. nothing is here.
i can not give any star

Don’t go. we are 3 people still Hungry. we paid 60 $ but they gives Half sushi than Another Place. really verry thin rolls and they just try look good decorate plate.

I told to them «Oh my god this is so small!!! » really i never seen ever ! maybe few month ago i went fake worst sushi place like Here name is Kaapa they sucks too and chinese. Ugh i was so mad where is fish at??? they don’t want to use sushi (fish) and so low qualitty! And where is my sushi??? we are order 3 sushi plate. But we saw fish like my Little fingers nail. OMG. Fake fake fake. so disapointed. Ichiban is best in Pensacola area. well. No where good sushi place in pensacola. I know so much about sushi and i went so many places. But not this fake sushi place. my cooking sushi is better That i bought from Joe patties.
率直に言うと、あまりにも味がないんです。が。 行かないでください。 全部中国人たちです。 ロールの厚さが非常に薄くて少しだが、とても高いです。 近い水産市場で刺身を購入することがもっといいのです。

Great sushi, fast service. Reasonably priced.
What else do you want?
We didn’t try the hibachi, so I can’t speak to that. But the sushi was fast, high quality, and delicious. Will eat here again when visiting the Pensacola area.

Consistently very good sushi. The Jasmine Tea is awesome! Friendly staff and very good service. Great lunch specials with generous portions!

So sweet tonight was my 16^th birthday, and the staff helped make it a special night. Thank you so much. I loved the food it was amazing.

Food was delicious and the kids loved it, highly recommend it and would definitely come again. We had Hibachi Fillet Mignon, shrimp, steak, & sushi. Thank You!

Very rarely am I completely dissatisfied with any meal and I never complain. But, my meal at S. Kishi last night was totally awful. Terrible water logged salad. Cold mizu soup. The Katsu chicken was under cooked/​fried and greasy. There was so much grease that I could not remove the doile. I ate some of that too!!! My dog did enjoy half the meal it did not eat. The manager was condescending about it all so, I didn’t argue or explain all my complaints to her. I left, never to return.

Elegant, clean, authentic, and delicious. Shan Kishi is a hidden gem in gulf breeze proper and worth the drive from Midway. I’ve dined at pretty much every sushi restaurant between Pensacola and Destin and I have not found a better dining experience than Shan Kishi. The quality of food is impeccable and the attention to detail and presentation always helps to make the dining experience extra special. For the ultimate experience, sit at the sushi bar or try hibachi. The sushi chefs are very interactive. You’ve got to try the monkey brains. It’s a new special and delicious. You won’t be disappointed.

Fabulous you must try the «Monkey Brain» special with tuna, mango and avocado and the bomb lobster roll OMG!!! Everything is amazing, I am from DFW AND THIS PLACE would rate among the best there. Service and food incredible!

Best Sushi by far in Pensacola area. I highly recommend.
This place does not have enough 5 star reviews.
Sushi is very fresh.
Presentation is excellent
Service was excellent
Atmosphere was excellent.

Ready for a food fight?
This place, in a word:___________________s! Yea, plural.
So…Maybe you’re looking for that for a special occasion atmosphere to pop the question or prom date when, you know, the FOOD doesn’t actually matter!
But if you ARE going for good food then this review is for you! For starters, this isn’t Japanese food at all. The honest description would be, «Asian Fusion» which is restaurant-​speak for:, «we don’t know Japanese food and so we’re going to charge you a lot of money and be really rude to you while we’re doing it. (Not nice).
Nutshell: The udon was lukewarm and full of strange, non udon food items… sushi bad and extremely un-​inventive, teriyaki beef tasted old and the shrimp tempura — - (well who can screw up fried shrimp???) was served with some tar that was supposed to represent tempura sauce??? Man, if you can’t get the right sauce, get out of the kitchen!
Service: Sour and slow; Our youngish waitress looked the part, but seemed extremely put out that we were in her station at all. The only thing that came on time was the check. (ouch).
Bottom line: These teppanyaki places have the same formula: serve up heaps of cheap food, offer a big show charge a lot of money and for goodness sake, don’t order off the menu!

Probably best sushi in Pensacola. It’s not on the menu but ask for the «low country roll». It was my favorite also ask for the «tuna tower». It’s not on the menu either.
The presentation of the food is a bit cheesy although the spider man roll was cool. I have not tried the hibachi.

Great service, great food and a very nice atmosphere. Another place I’d recommend to eat if you enjoy great sushi.

Holy sashimi if this the best sushi in pensacola then I won’t be living here long!!! Insanely expensive for small, mediocre portions. Gonna have to hit up McDonalds on the way home.

I would have to really give the food 3 stars, but everything else was a 2 at best.
Sushi — average. Presentation was good. Rolls were nothing to write home about. Ginger and wasabi had to be requested 2x.
Service — so totally weird! I felt as if perhaps I was part of a Candid Camera episode! There were servers everywhere — and all they did was stand and stare at us! The restaurant was not very crowded at all, but getting anyone to wait on us was difficult.
The waitresses seemed perhaps resentful, or at the very least, reluctant, to provide service of any kind. How hard is it to deliver a glass of water, and perhaps refill it once? Instead they huddled in a pack, not speaking, just staring. It was very creepy.
I did not care for the layout of the restaurant.
The whole experience could have been amusing if it would have been:
Free;
Filmed;
Someone else’s story!

May 2013 Update.
The food is the best Japanese and sushi in the area at a reasonable cost. But they need to adjust the servers attitude. They exude attitude at every request. The place was empty the other afternoon and I was the only person at the bar eating. Four servers were standing and talking and one was indignant when I asked for some more water.
The best Sushi in the area.
But the attitudes of the servers may force me to reduce my return trips.

THE BEST SUSHI in Pensacola!
They have the best prices and you get more of what you would expect. Large portions, fresh at a great price.
The sashimi appetizer is 9 pieces of sushi (tuna, salmon, white fish and chefs choice) for $ 10.95 — fantastic
The tuna and salmon sashimi comes with 3 pieces each. Great large portions. Absolutely fresh and Sushi grade product.
The have a well stocked bar and do table cooking and regular seating.
Why people go to H2O at the Hilton for Sushi I do not know.
This is the place to go!
Great service
Will I be back: I have been coming in twice a week now!
