Restaurants in Shiki

Sichuan-focused Chinese bar in Shiki (Saitama) requiring mandatory alcohol orders—two drinks minimum per guest. Counter seating for 16, smoking permitted, groups of two or more only. Named to Tabelog 100 – Chinese cuisine – EAST three consecutive years (2023, 2024, 2026). At JPY 20,000–29,999, worth it for drinkers who value pairing whisky or wine with ma la spice, but non-negotiable alcohol policy and smoking make this unsuitable for non-drinkers or families.

Shiki's Tabelog Sweets EAST 100 honoree six years running delivers cakes, bread, café items at JPY 1,000–1,999, now operating take-out only from a residential setting. Reservations help navigate Monday/Tuesday closures; parking suits two cars. At half the price of Tokyo pastry leaders, this remains the suburb's sole award-tracked sweet shop.
