2024 Update: They are still amazing!! Please go eat here if you are reading this!! If you aren't sure if you would like it, go on a day the boats are running and sample to your hearts content. It is the easiest way to figure out what sushi you like and are ridiculously affordable ($20 for 10 plates on the boats). Shige's takes immense pride in the quality and freshness of their fish used, and you can tell. You won't find better quality fish/meats anywhere else in Idaho (even going so far as to have authentic fresh Wagu Niguri on the menu recently). You will never have to worry about what you are eating here, and it will taste absolutely delicious. So whether you are a sushi veteran or just trying to get someone else into it, this is the place for you.
Shige, his family, and all of the staff are nothing short of perfect and make every customer feel like part of their family. They love to chat and are happy to explain any dishes/ingredients, recommend new things to try, take requests, or are happy to show off new ideas they are trying! I've never seen anyone leave unhappy or even mildly discontent.
I have even gone so far as to recommend them to folks visiting Idaho on a trip and have been informed by a New Yorker who I brought here that Shiges is probably the best sushi resteraunt they've had, and between the food and the atmosphere they beat out even NYC's sushi bars. They go here every time they visit and have never been disappointed.
So, if my essay of a review isn't enough, just read this: Try it. You won't regret it, and it will be your new favorite resteraunt.
(P.S. I personally recommend the G Roll. It's a house roll and one of my favorites)
2021: Love the food and being able to have such a variety without spending too much! Great for a date while trying to save.
