Sushi Shige Japanese Restaurant

Feels like a low end sushi shop when I walk in but the food was amazing. I had omakaze for takeout and it was fresh and good. My kids had udon and salmon terriyaki, both were very good. They use traditional ways to make the broth and your taste the fish in the soup. The only not so good feedback was the tempura roll that came with the omakaze has too much mayo and rice.

We arrived around 1:39pm not knowing they were closing at 2pm. Despite the short amount of time they welcomed us in. Delicious food, great service and clean place. Great spicy miso soup and great quality fish ! Recommended

The best Sushi in Halifax! You can have authentic Edomae sushi which is provided by Japanese chef here! There is also Canadian style sushi. Sushi which is made by Shige-san is not just a dish. It's kind of an art I guess! Definitely come back to this place :

Ordered the Omakase dinner for $70 and it was well worth the experience! The taste, portions and presentation of the offerings were superb! Even the fruit dessert dish at the end was delicious! Thank you for introducing me to sea eel and for such a lovely time.

THE most authentic, exquisite sushi by master chef Shige. The Chirashi is fresher, better price point and most variety than Chirashi in all of North America. The chef inspired Omakase is second to none. Highly recommend this sushi experience.

We ordered Sushi Omacase, zaru soba, shrimp tempura! This is the only Japanese restaurant with Japansse owner and the only Omacase in halifax! We enjoyed this! Thank you!

Phenomenal! Swung in for a bite to eat after running around the city and found the most stunning bowl of sushi I've ever eaten, the kind of thing I've been dreaming about for years; the Chirashi is a mountain of unique and delicious nigiri, generously cut and piled artistically on a bed of savory rice. So much colour, variety and dynamic textures. Well worth the price in every way. I'm so glad I happened to be in the neighborhood and decided to spend a little extra on dinner. There was even more than enough leftover to take home to my girlfriend, who enjoyed it as much as I did. We'll be going back here many times, that's for sure.

My wife and I enjoyed a beautiful Monday night dinner at Sushi Shige tonight - consisting of the most artfully presented and curated fish available anywhere in this city. The simplicity and austerity of their new location adds to the focus on the food, and attention to the spotlessly clean dining room. The service was very attentive and not overbearing in the least. Everything was prepared 'a la minute', and without delay - an advantage to there only being 5 tables available for seating. Congratulations to the family team, on their new venture! A must, for those who appreciate more than the usual dishes available at many Japanese restaurants in Halifax. We will definitely return for the Chef's Choice. : Very reasonably priced, excellent food in an informal setting.

Incredible disappointed. These salmon sashimi I ordered might be the smallest pieces I ever seen. Surf Clam is not fresh. Also order Oyako Don and Salmon Teriyaki. Same level as Japanese buffet restaurants. Add on June 9th,2020. To respond to owner’s reply: If I didn’t eat the Surf Clam, I would not know it is fresh or not. The salmon pieces are very very small. The picture shows the full piece. Your restaurant were used to on my To-Eat List. I don’t have to and there is no intention to defame. However, your reply are trying to say the salmon because I eat half piece, take a picture and saying it is small. I said I was incredible disappointed due to my high expectation that Sushi Shige are able to make much better food than those I ate on that day.

The food was delicious, make no mistake. The broth in the udon was amazing, the Inari and sweet potato was so delicate flavourful. However, the place gets 4 stars out of 5 because of portion size. I don't know if I'm just too used to North Americanized sushi portions which might be larger but this seemed like a small roll even with 6 pieces. Definitely delicious but don't come for a massive feast unless you want to pay premium dollar.
