Shiki Norwich is a family-owned Japanese restaurant at 6 Tombland, close to Norwich Cathedral. Open since 2004, it has become a long-standing city restaurant with a relaxed approach that welcomes couples, families, groups and solo diners.
The restaurant takes inspiration from the Japanese izakaya, where several dishes can be shared around the table. Otsumami small plates and yakitori-style skewers provide a flexible way to begin, whether guests are planning a light meal or a broader tasting of the kitchen.
Sushi and sashimi are central to the menu, supported by tempura, noodle and rice dishes and convenient bento boxes. Vegetarian choices broaden the selection, while the varied format lets diners combine raw, grilled and fried dishes in one sitting.
Japanese beer and sake complement the food and reinforce the izakaya influence. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should check the latest menu and speak with staff about ingredients and kitchen preparation before ordering.
Address: 6 Tombland, Norwich NR3 1HE, England
