He sold the business. He's obviously over with iT.He used to be the best place in Sac when he was off of Arden Way. Sad to see how things went down hill.

Probably the best sushi in the Citrus Heights/Carmichael area. So sad that the chef is retiring, and I'm happy I got to try it before he left.

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.

THE BEST AUTHENTIC SUSHI IN TOWN! Shige San makes amazing sushi and I really enjoy all the special fish selections. I break my bank every time I go there. Can't help myself from over ordering lol

Came in at 5:15pm and got seated right away. The nigiri were fresh, I specifically liked the ocean trout nigiri. The specialty sushi was also pretty good. The service was prompt. I recommend this place and I would dine here again.

So I walked into this establishment with an appetite! Unfortunately the server looked like she had been sucking on lemons all day! Not only was she so unpleasant she gave me the impression that she didn't want to be bothered with!! After waiting 45 minutes, my dinner finally came out. Not even with the big appetite I carried could I mustard swallowing this food! My bento box looked pitiful and tasteless. The Combo Sashimi didn't look any better. As per my husband, he rated his meal a high 2! Arigato / Makuni here we come!!!

Shige Sushi is our special occasion go-to place in terms of wanting to be satisfied in a delicious sea of Japanese nigiri. When we go, we stay by the sushi bar and order "omakase" - meaning, chef's choice selection. And the food will keep coming until you let Shige-san know you are full. From San Francisco to El Dorado County, it is THE BEST nigiri hands down. The fish is always the star of each nigiri, and anything placed on it - enhances the flavor of the fish. And the quality of the fish never disappoints. This place is nigiri heaven.
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.
Rodica O.
I'm very disappointed with the order, be very attentive with it. I've place a big order for the sushi roll, the person who took the order told in 30 min the oder will be ready and I told that my husband will pick it up and pay for the order, and guess when my husband came there was no order for me

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.
