The customer service was that authentic -- warm, efficient, and somehow reading my mind before I even opened my mouth. I half expected someone to hand me a JR Rail Pass with my check. The gyoza? Perfect. Like, "I should probably order 12 more just to be safe" perfect. The ramen was easily some of the best I've had in the United States -- rich broth, great noodles, and flavors that actually taste like someone's grandma in Tokyo whispered secrets into the pot. Now, full honesty: the egg was a little overcooked. But considering the American need for speed (and the fact that we treat restaurant meals like pit stops at Daytona), I get it. Cooking eggs to order in that environment is basically Olympic-level timing. And besides, the broth was so spot-on that it made up for everything. If you're craving legit ramen with service that makes you nostalgic for Japan -- even if you've never been -- Fuku Ramen is the move.

We started with the jalapeño calamari, which is always so delicious. We also ordered the spicy tuna tartare, and it was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. I got the hibachi salmon, and it was honestly some of the best salmon I've ever had. My boyfriend ordered the hibachi shrimp, which was also delicious. The rice and noodles were so flavorful--I could honestly just eat those and be completely happy. We also tried the vegetarian lovers sushi combo, which came with a tofu roll, an avocado roll, and a cucumber roll. Everything was very fresh and super tasty. Another great experience, and it's no surprise that we'll definitely be going back!

Let me tell you about our first rodeo at Shiki…read more We pulled up excited, walked in... and I ain't gonna lie -- the place looked a little drab. Not "health department issue" drab, just "could use a fresh coat of paint and a pep talk" drab. I started second-guessing all those glowing reviews like, "Did these folks eat at the same place?" Then came the entrance situation. The host stand was vacant. No "please wait to be seated" sign. Just us standing there like we were about to audition for a sushi commercial. So we start to seat ourselves when the lone waiter -- and I mean lone ranger -- glances over and says, "Just a minute." Oh. Copy that. We did the walk of shame right back to the door and waited properly this time. After sitting a spell, he got to us and took our order. Now bless his heart -- that man was running ragged. Every table was full and he appeared to be handling the whole dining room solo. Plates, drinks, orders, probably washing dishes in the back too. We waited... and waited... and waited. It was pushing 30 minutes before the food finally touched down. Now let's talk about the decor. The inside could use some TLC. Maybe a little facelift. Maybe some brighter lighting. Maybe a plant that's alive. But hear me clearly: What the front of house is missing, the chef in the back is absolutely making up for. From the first bite of that ginger salad to the last grain of rice, I started wondering if I'd accidentally walked into an episode of Iron Chef. That salad was crisp and fresh, the soup was on point, and then my salmon hibachi showed up like it had something to prove. And let me tell you -- that salmon was spectacular. Cooked just right. Flavorful. Tender. Seasoned like somebody back there cares deeply about their craft. That chef can flat-out throw down on the grill. Great food. Great flavor. Zero complaints about what hit the plate. Price? Outstanding. Party of two ate for under $50 at a sit-down restaurant -- and that's including a 30% tip. In this economy? That's practically a public service. So here's where I land: (4 out of 5 stars) If service had been quicker, we'd be talking five stars without hesitation. But I'm giving grace here because that waiter looked like he was one espresso away from levitating, and the place was packed -- which, by the way, is usually the surest sign the food's top-notch. We'll be back. And next time, we'll walk in with patience... and maybe a snack in our pocket just in case. Bottom line: Don't judge this book by its cover. The outside may whisper "meh," but the kitchen is singing hallelujah.

We got there just before the rush (and trust me, half of Tuscaloosa showed up right after) and put our order in just in time. I went all in on sushi--the Tuscaloosa Roll and Rock N Roll--and yes, I'll share... even though, as an only child, that doesn't come easy. The better half went with the teriyaki shrimp, and let me tell you--everything was top level. Iron Chef Bubba must be running the kitchen, because they're not missing. They must be hanging meat in the corners--it's nice and chilly inside, even for this warm-blooded physique of mine. Biscuit Bot Betty must be tired too--she's passed by a dozen times, making her on-time deliveries. Hey UPS, come kidnap this chick--have her delivering! All in for under $50, even with a $20 tip--ha, take that, Tuscaloosa! Not many places downtown are going to treat you that well--good eats and cheap for a party of two.

I ordered a side of fried rice, which is supposed to come with peas and carrots, but there were maybe 2 or 3 peas in the whole dish. The rice leaned on the gummy and sweet side, and it tasted very processed. The yum yum sauce was only .75¢ so I can't complain, but they did not fill it as much as I would've liked. The chicken egg roll was pretty good, but the sweet and sour sauce was very liquidy and I like it with a little more thickness. They only have pepsi products, so plan ahead. They were out of diet pepsi when I came. Not their fault, but it would've been nice to have it. I came during their specials hour so my drink was only .99¢, so I can't complain too much. Wasn't the best experience I've had, but not enough to dock more than two stars. I can at least say I've tried this place.
