Shige is solid

This is one of the "original" upscale sushi places in Boise. There were a few others before Shige arrived, but it's fair to say that he took sushi to a new level in Boise. It's a good place. The fish is fresh and the sushi chefs are the real-deal. I recommend sitting at the bar as the atmosphere at the tables isn't anything special.

Best in Town

The amount of sushi you get with your order is as good as the food. The fish is the freshest in town. Cooked food is just as good as the sushi so if you don't like sushi you can still get great japanese food.
