We Didn't Get the $300 Sushi Boat But We Still Spent Too Much On Our Shiki-Sai Review

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya is the newest restaurant at the Japan Pavilion in EPCOT replacing what was Tokyo Dining. This seasonal restaurant is truly a festival of the four seasons and will be updated accordingly and features a variety of Japanese dishes that are served as soon as they are ready rather than how you ordered your meal - so if you order everything at once be prepared to get random dishes at random times.

@Craig, we can really see your production skills ramping up. Polished intros, background music in appropriate places, it's really coming along. Also, good job rerecording the menu. Viewers want the info. It doesn't matter if it wasn't in the same take. Keep up the good work, and keep pushing your production limits. It makes a difference in the quality of the videos. Kudos to the whole team getting better and better!

[@DISUnlimited]

Thank you. This was a tough one and I wasn’t happy with a lot of it so the comment helps out greatly.

[@bdchiaccio]

You really give care and attention to what you do, as does the team in their commentary!

[@franklinmimi]

I love this style of review . Very good , I loved it.

[@franklinmimi]

I would love an overall number rating . You could explain a little, but not over due it. People will make their own choices in the end .

[@TheRich330]

Production value has really improved lately.

[@cindy0717]

Really nice and refreshing to see the team's mood so lightened and enthusiastic! Feels like we get to see your actual personalities shine through now that there is no longer an "audience of one". Nice job!

[@rachelb9060]

I cannot express enough how much I enjoy watching Ryno, Craig, and Erica together. They are so enjoyable to watch and when I go back to WDW I will book through Dreams Unlimited Travel specifically in support of and to show gratitude for the enjoyment Craig, Ryno, and Erica give me everytime they do a vlog.

[@MayForz912]

Loving the dining reviews with humor mixed in. Feels more relaxed.

[@libraryminnie7674]

Proud of all of the team for rising to the occasion, this has been a very trying time for so many people. I am happy to see as much ‘back to normal but better”, content being released. In a weird way I feel bad not getting any vibes of what was going on under my nose. Keep moving up and up, Dis team!

[@marjielalonde3875]

You guys do the best food reviews! You`re comfortable together, you have different tastes so diverse feedback, and you keep it real! A long time sub who appreciates people who tell it like it is with no attitude!

[@DanceByYourself83]

These past few dining reviews have been SO fun to watch! The whole vibe is enjoyable; love the direction your videos are moving in.

[@crgmonroe]

At this point, I think it's safe to say Pete won't be coming back. And furthermore, i think the team is benefitting from it.

[@Spykid2002]

Do you know what happened

Pete won't be coming back??

"Everybody back off and leave me alone............ It was good." LMFAO. Ryno, you are a national treasure. Great video, guys. I don't eat sushi and will never eat here, but I watched the review for y'all and you didn't disappoint.

[@lindamemo5224]

Great job team. Moving up and moving on. 👍👍

[@melissaslater2575]

Really glad to see Ryno acting like his happy light hearted self again.

[@jessicalyn84]

Ryno’s comment about the scallops almost made me choke I was laughing so hard. Great job on this vlog, Craig! You’re producing is A+. Everything is so light hearted and fun!

[@shannonp888]

craig, ryno and erica are the dream team!

[@cliffloyd5557]

Yes. Love the group feel they have. It's a real group of friends out to eat. Not forced and scripted.

[@paulawheeler2220]

Absolutely agree! They’ve been phenomenal of late.

[@CrazyMagicalAdventures]

We loved watching this one! I think our absolute favorite part was at the end when Craig joked about John having to let one of them go! We are really loving the light-heartedness of these new reviews, etc. We’re so glad John is letting you all run with your personalities! It adds so much and is so enjoyable to watch now. It’s still info. we all want to know, but now we can’t wait for each new content to drop. Great job everyone. 😊

[@KatMatthews91]

Great video y’all! Long time fan and continue my loyalty to The DisUnplugged because of you three. Also, the music is a vibe. I’m in love!

[@gagnor3]

Craig's reaction to the price of his drink 🤣🤣 Was looking forward to your Shiki Sai review, didn't disappoint!

[@jcrotchfeltjr]

I am really enjoying your content lately. The 3 of you are perfect together. Your reviews and just how you all get along ao well. You were forced to change directions here lately, and it has been working so well. Thanks for everything.

[@jennifersmiley3895]

This was a great review. We're not all sushi eaters but the review made us want to eat there. It was nice to see so many things we'd like. Recent posts/blogs have been great!

[@rachelfithian3257]

Great work everyone. We appreciate the content!

[@thomasadrianna]

It’s such a huge difference in everyone’s energy ❤ i feel it through all your recent videos!! It makes me happy as a long time viewer to see your passion come back into what you love! Keep the content coming!!!!

[@cathymasters1536]

Videos are getting better and better. Ryno and Craig you guys are the best ☺️

[@sharri115]

I’m not a vegetarian, but I really appreciate Erica’s choices. They are items I would never think to order and I like hearing her opinions on them. I hope to see another review from these three!!

[@codypollard]

Steps in the right direction. The thumbnails are starting to pop more and getting me to click straight from the homepage instead of me searching for it because I couldn’t find it. Great work!

[@cliffloyd5557]

I always use dreams for my Disney vacations, just to do my part to keep these guys fed on food I can't get while I'm there. LOL.

[@johnmillsjr.4315]

I don’t think I love anything more than I love that mural with the frogs in their hats…

[@kathymitchell273]

You guys are fun, look forward to these reviews every week.

[@tombangalter5924]

I love the new format for Dis Unplugged. You guys are doing a great job. The vibes are positive and you are keeping it focused on the Parks and experiences first hand. Well done.

[@paulawheeler2220]

This was a doozy of a restaurant to try and review! Thank you for the attention to detail and going over the menu. Craig-your humor and personality is *shining.” As someone who loves sarcasm and puns-great job! 🙌🏻

[@kirstiekernutt133]

this was a great review, you can see the improvement in all of you already so much more relaxed. going through the menu really helps, keep it up the hard work and recent stress will start to pay off

[@stevenweatherman7325]

That was an excellent review. I want to eat there, and I don't even LIKE sushi! I also think Erica is coming out of her shell, and better able to give the boys a run for their money. Nice rant, Ryno. Nice lush, Craig.

[@CocoFirenze]

@DISunplugged This was so great! you guys are killing it!

[@alandenniston8209]

Great review, cracked up with Ryno saying the scallop was like sucking on a human tongue. 🤣

[@andreahiggins2662]

I like that the menu has pictures. I wish more restaurants would do that

[@harredondo1]

The joy is apparent! We support businesses who treat their employees with the love and respect they deserve!! Love you guys!

[@dianahall8304]

Great review! And fast turn around time since you mentioned the hurricane, always impressed with the quality you can produce in short timelines (it takes me HOURS to edit a 8-10min video or even a 60sec tiktok). Hope y’all stay safe with the weather

[@codenameu.arctos3747]

whoa. 40 minutes just flew by. Enjoyable video couple of requests: 1- Benchmarks for each of the rating categories would be great. 2 - For the next festival, if it is possible and all parties are up for it, it would be great to have a channel crossover event with you guys, Deni, Panda, and any other vlogger friends.

[@kareys4656]

Great job!!! Thanks Craig, Erica and Ryno.

[@ClarkyAv]

You're clearly pushing to improve production quality and it really shows - your videos keep getting better! I am really enjoying the videos from inside the parks and restaurants as it gives us a real idea of the atmosphere and what is going on currently. Would love to see some walkabout-style videos with no commentary in the parks just to show what crowd levels, construction walls and atmosphere is like at the moment (good way of taking the temperature of the parks for us planning trips). I also really enjoyed it when you both switched from "presenter voice" to a more normal conversational voice - it felt more engaging like you were talking to me rather than at me 🙂

[@waddellerik]

Really liking the content these past two weeks. You all seem to be enjoying yourselves. Hope you all are safe from Idalia.

[@jonathansakura]

Pre pandemic I used to have the Epcot annual pass and came to the Japan area all the time Luckily I moved to Asia in early 2020 and can just experience the real japan now all the time 😊😊

[@edstrong597]

Keep up the good work, I enjoy all the videos the 3 pillars of the DIS make.

Loved the review. So glad you covered a cocktail. It is definitely a part of the dining experience in Disney so please do it as often as it's applicable

Craig are you kidding me?? The production values are so much better!

[@julietredinger1532]

These dining reviews are on point lately! I had stopped watching for several months because they seemed stale. Keep up the awesome work!

[@WorkerBeeSupply]

Thank you so much for introducing this restaurant to me! I wasn’t aware it was in the Japan pavilion and the menu looks very good! Love Izakaya-style food and of course sushi as well. I think you all did a job with the pronunciations! My friends taught me that an easy way to say Japanese words is to just break up the syllables, and say the parts of the word exactly as written, which I think you did well! 😊

[@patriciarussell1576]

So enjoyed this! Your humor is contagious as are your spirits. The videos are refreshing while being completely professional!

[@donna0805]

Please don’t ever feel the need to read the entire menu again, LOL! Thanks for the detailed review of the new restaurant, hoping to try it myself soon! I also like the new ratings you guys have been doing too, it’s nice to hear overall thoughts. Keep up the fun dining reviews! 😊

One of your best reviews yet. You three are a great team. Thanks

[@rayjr96]

Good to see you guys in a happy mood

[@laurenmichero9003]

All I could think about when Craig was talking about eels were the shrieking eels from The Princess Bride. Also the moray eels from the little mermaid are Flotsam and Jetsam. Neither of these references are conducive to enjoying sushi with eel in it but there you go lol Oh also Ross from Friends when he kept saying “Unagi” 🤣

[@careyanglemyer4893]

Fabulous truthful review. I too had a delicious meal at Shiki-Sai recently.

[@Tank3278]

great fun and review, you three work so well together, can't say I'll being eating there anytime soon, will stick with my local sushi restaurant with somewhat more reasonable pricing and super fresh fish , Craig may I ask what watch you have on, looks great

I'm hoping the sushi bar is open for walk-ups? It would be great to have another bar option in the park. Everything in your review looked and sounded delicious. Always good to hear that a new offering is positively received and that you're looking forward to going back. Hopefully they can maintain the quality and service. It's great to see you guys genuinely having fun together. :)

Hey @Craig, any idea on when you guys will have a new Tuesday Disney World show in the new studio man? If you can't answer because of the you know what, I'll totally understand. Its just that I miss the Tuesday shows, that's all.

Wait til you go to Takumi Tei. Save up and go to Takumi Tei. I will never forget that experience and the food. I still don't understand how a mushroom sushi could have so many flavors and textures.

[@ScottUllmann]

This was awesome, please keep doing dining reviews ON LOCATION. I know it’s more work but ambiance is everything for me and when you used to do dining reviews in the studio, i lost interest pretty quickly.

[@MirabelFan]

Excellent review. I'm like Craig and Ryno; I love sushi but tend to like the more Americanized stuff. I would try the raw sushi but I have a feeling it's not my thing. I prefer the cooked stuff with sauce ontop. This place reminds me of the first place I actually had sushi and it seems to be more authentic sushi. But with that menu, there is for sure something for every sushi lover.

[@caroleflynn761]

We were told yesterday, one stamp for each season, and then we will get a fan.

[@crowolf3862]

As a warning to vegeterian/vegans about agedashi - double check with your server as traditional japanese dashi has fish stock in it. You can get a seaweed only version, but that’s usually special order

[@bodyloverz30]

The Comped $300 Gift Card, would cover dinner!

[@mushusmom1239]

I look at it this way. They have to appeal to a large cross section of people. The quality is there, but flavor profiles (heat etc) will tend to be more middle of the road.

@ryno they got michelin bib (great value) this is what I was curious about !

[@kristindewitt9059]

We tried Waygu in Kyoto. Amazing!

[@TheLumpinator]

Great video! This place looks great but I think it’s a little asinine that Disney charges an extra dollar for sauce when you order $120 sushi dish. I’ll probably still try this place out when we are down in October.
