After several visits I still haven't tried anything other than Shige's sushi selection so I can't comment on anything outside of the incredible nigiri that has been served to me. The blue fin belly is unbelievable. Like eating butter only better. The aji was served perfectly, and that had been (until the blue fin) the meter I gaged a true sushi chef by. If you're a true fan of nigiri, I highly recommend sitting across the chef and putting your meal in his hands.

Came in at around 5:15pm on a friday and got seated right away. Food and service are great. One of the freshest nigiris I've had in the area. The specialty sushi is not bad either.

Sushi is ok, but service is lacking. They don’t put wasabi in with orders so if you like wasabi, I guess you have to specifically ask for it.Salad is just a bunch of whole lettuce leaves thrown in a box, like a mediocre pizza place.Whoever is crafting rolls seams to have their act together, but whoever is prepping plates and serving has zero attention to detail. Pretty disappointing.

Came here for lunch today for lunch. I knew what I wanted from their online menu so I didn’t need to see a menu. Tell her what I want only for her to come back and charge me $33 for a roll online listed as seven dollars and another listed as 11.95. When I asked to see a menu, asking her why so much? She got defensive telling me one of the rolls are no longer on the menu so they charge more. It was still a basic roll. I never asked to cancel my order but she insisted. Basically not serving me since I had a question. She was very rude and I was as polite as could be when I simply asked why.

BBQ Albacore, Wakame Salad (from Oto's), tenpura veggies, tenpura shishito appetizers were all as expected. Saporro and Echigo stout were correct in temperature and flavor. Chirashi sushi and nigiri/shishimi combo dinners were fresh and correctly prepared.Service was inconsistent and items ordered were forgotten or delayed.

I went to dine in there. Food was great!! Service was horrible. The waitress brought my meal with the bill and she asked right away to pay it. I put it aside and move my plate to start to eat since I was so hungry and wait for my meal almost half hour. She came again to request to pay my bill gave her my credit card and brought my back the bill and asked my for 3rd time to sign it. Which I did. I was so upset since this happen within minutes. I signed and only left less then 10% tip. She came back to arguing why I did left her less on han 10%. Asked her if there were any gravity to the bill?. Anyway no coming back there. She was rude.

I wanted to try and I make one phone order and they told me it will be ready for PU in 40 min. When I was ready for PU my order it wasn't prepared, they trying find out a differents excuses and the lady who was rude. Very disappointed and the customer service suck.

beyond pathetic, if I could give it less than 1 star I would, waitress was very rude puting in very little effort as if she didn't want to be there which was very noticable when she kept messing up our order, me and my friend ordered 2 sushi rolls each but the waitress only brought out 1 roll for both of us which was suprising that something that tasted like it just got out of the microwave took 30 minutes to make even though me and my friend were one of the only people there which i obviously see why, and when she gave us the food it felt like she was throwing the plate on the table as if she didn't want to serve us. We than told her we ordered 2 rolls each and by the time we were done eating our first sushi roll we were still waiting another 15 minutes for are second roll which by that time we just asked for a check than left, but as we were leaving the waitress runs outside demanding a tip and calling us "losers" even for how poor the service was. overall, theres a lot of sushi resturaunts in Sac, Id suggest explore other options.

Service was awful. Waitress was rude when asking a question about an item. Even if she is having a bad day, I’m still a customer. If I am showing you respect; I deserve the same back. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!!!

Laid back place but very high quality fish. Nice sake selection. Always delicious. Not cheap but not unreasonable.
Is it world class sushi, no. But it’s damn good sushi at an affordable price. Can’t beat the location for a quick layover on your way to Tahoe.

Came here from word of mouth/reviews online. We made a reservation and we’re seated right away. Very small mom and pop place, so I highly recommend calling ahead of time since they are only operating at 50% capacity. Excellent sushi - some of the best I’ve ever had. Appetizers were delicious too - we had the shishito peppers. I will definitely come back here!

On my way home from work I had a craving for sushi. Normally when driving this way, I stop at Teriyaki Express across the street (VERY GOOD, but decided to try Shige Sushi for the first time. I was a little leary since their parking lot is always on the empty side. I like my sushi fresh, and a slow sushi restaurant isn't a good sign for fresh fish, but decided to try.I walked in, looked around at the empty restaurant, just 2 people sitting at the sushi bar... That's it. I told the sushi chef this was my first time here, could i please see a menu. He didn't say a word, but pointed to the far right of the sushi bar where I seen menus stacked. On my way to pick one up, an older lady (the waitress ( walk out and stops me from picking up a menu. She never said hello, smiled, or anything like that. Instead she ordered me to sit at the table in front of the door and wait for her. I told her i wanted to order to go and just wanted to look at a menu. She pointed to that table again and told me to sit and wait for her. The restaurant was empty mind you, I just wanted to see a menu.Needless to say, she was so rude, I said nevermind I'll go somewhere else and I walked out. I went across the street where they're friendly and their customers are important to them.I don't know how Shige Sushi stays is business. So rude!I won't be going back. The owner should know that waitress is losing customers.
