This is a real Japanese sushi restaurant. Food is excellent, with beautiful presentation, and service is superb. Chef Shige's wife is always courteous and kind. If dining in, make sure to have reservations, as this location has only around 20 seats. But I noticed they are always busy with takeout.

Sushi Shige is absolutely delicious and fresh. There are plenty of options for vegetarians. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

I've been coming for years now - still the best sushi I've found on the penninsula. The owners and staff are super friendly as well. It is probably worth booking a table in advance if you want to make sure you can go!

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.

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.

WOW. I wish I had discovered this place sooner! Incredible sushi, best I've ever had. Blows every sushi place downtown Halifax out of the water. I will be back asap.
I recommend the fresh tuna sashimi, sushi rice, eel cucumber salad, and edamame.

A "typical" family run Japanese restaurant. If you are familiar with Japanese restaurants you will feel right at home here. To my knowledge Shige is the only authentic Japanese restaurant in Halifax.

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

Probably the most legit sushi in Halifax. High quality authentic Japanese food all around. The sashimi is excellent. Don't expect fusion rolls covered in mayo here. Just the best ingredients, traditional preparation and beautiful presentation.

I wish I could give this restaurant 10,000 stars, it's worth every one of them! Shigeru and Aya know how to deliver on fantastic sushi, every time! I have been visiting Sushi Shige for over 15 years and have not had a bad bite. It's authentic, exciting, fresh and delicious, and I do not have anything but positive things to say about this cozy and intimate restaurant. They are lovely, friendly and caring people, and I'm so floored they chose Halifax to deliver on this amazing and creative food... don't be surprised to find them on the Michelin Guide some day!

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.

My family and I dined at Sushi Shige and had a fantastic time. It is an authentic Japanese cuisine restaurant with high quality sushi and sashimi. The dine-in experience was cozy and the staff was helpful and tended to the table regularly. It helps that the place is small and has about 4 or 5 tables only.
We tried a variety of dishes. The portions were reasonable and the fish was fresh. My family liked the teriyaki salmon and their miso and udon soups. The fresh ginger was appreciated too and is better than that pink stuff other restaurants serve. The only thing is that it was a little on the expensive side (should probably be $$$ rating). Nonetheless, it was money well spent.

Absolutely the best sushi in Halifax. Amazing fish, the nigiri is the star.
I highly recommend going omakase and getting whatever the chef wants to make, you will be in great hands.
Service is also wonderful, I love dining in here. Looking forward to my next visit!
