Food: Juicy meat, one mouthful at a time

Forget everything you know about Korean fried chicken, because Shiku's Spicy version just rewrote the rulebook. Its Braised Pork Belly plate too, reinvents the timeless favorite, offering tender, juicy portions that have even grandmothers questioning their recipe. What's that? You wanted Beef Short ribs? Look no further, because they're caramelized to perfection here. Packed with freshness that could rival a farm stand, and portions that would make a professional eater blush - the food at Shiku is a trove of unforgettable flavors.

Vibe: Cramped shelter, amazing adventure

A visit to Shiku feels like a treasure hunt. Sure, it might be a bit cramped and noisy, something straight out of an Indiana Jones adventure, but the treasure trove of flavours bustles down on sensory overload. It's a bustling little wonderland filled with taste-tingling wonders - not quite the calm picnic, but the wild adventure we all secretly itch for.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Cramped, noisy environment with sensory overload feels unwelcoming.

Perks: Parking's a squeeze, it's worth the eke

Much like in the final stages of a treasure hunt, parking at Shiku feels like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole but the treasure certainly outweighs the effort. The service is as friendly as a welcoming bark of a puppy, even if it does occasionally get bogged down amidst the rush. The place might not be ideal for groups, echoing its adventurous appeal to lone wolves and duo explorers.

  • Okay Service

    Friendly service, but experiences with speed and professionalism were mixed.

  • Bad For Groups

    Cramped eateries stacked, creating sensory overload, not group-friendly.
