An outstanding sushi restaurant. The chef's preparation of the food was carefully crafted with the utmost attention and respect for the food and his customers. Add a Dragon roll to your meal for a real treat.
Like other ramen spots in Halifax, the broth at Sushi Shige tends to be on the salty side. It can be a bit clear and miso-like on occasion, though it's still savoury enough to satisfy an occasional craving. The vibe is bare here – a few tables lined up against the walls with hardly anything on them. Bar seating is available around the grill if you want to watch the magic happen and, while the decor may be minimal, the staff is friendly and the prices won't break the bank.
You will not find a bunch of over-the-top fusion rolls at this authentic sushi restaurant. What you will find here is a sushi chef with close to four decades of experience – 18 years of those in Japan. You should probably just get a full omakase dinner. Omakase, which translates to “I’ll leave it to you,” is a full course Japanese dinner that gives the chef full reign to showcase his creativity and expertise. Omakase starts at $60 (must be booked in advance) but there are also $30 omakase options on the menu.
