" I had high hopes for Big Tuna based on the reviews, but my experience fell a bit flat. The sushi was tasty, but it was not as fresh as I expected, and some rolls were smaller than others I've had elsewhere. Service was decent, yet it took too long for our food to arrive. The atmosphere is pleasant enough, but I doubt I would return unless I hear the quality has improved. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t great. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Big Tuna last week for a birthday celebration. The food was absolutely fantastic! We ordered a variety of rolls, and each one was fresh and beautifully presented. We also got the calamari and tempura, which were delightful. The staff was very friendly and surprisingly attentive given how busy it was. The atmosphere was vibrant, with a lot of energy in the room, but it never felt overwhelming. I will certainly recommend this place to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Big Tuna for dinner, and I have mixed feelings. The food was good, especially the sushi rolls, which were authentic and flavorful. However, our server seemed overwhelmed with too many tables, and we waited a long time for our drinks. The ambiance is pleasant enough, but there could be improvements in service efficiency. I would love to see their menu expand a bit. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there's room for optimization. " (*Curated Review*)

" Big Tuna has some of the best sushi in Chico! The ingredients are always fresh, and the flavors are vibrant. They have a fantastic selection of rolls and their Japanese tacos are a must-try! The atmosphere is lively and fun. The service, while friendly, could improve, especially during busy hours. But overall, the food quality makes it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Big Tuna was enjoyable, but there was room for improvement. The sushi was fresh, and the flavors were delightful—so fresh! Service was slower than expected which gave us doubts about whether we would get everything on time. Nevertheless, I would recommend this restaurant to sushi enthusiasts, especially for their inventive rolls! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Big Tuna recently and was pleasantly surprised! The sushi was fresh and tasty; everything was beautifully arranged. The Japanese tacos were a delightful spin I hadn’t tried before and paired well with the meal. However, I did experience slower service on this visit, as we had to flag down our server multiple times. Despite that, I would still recommend coming for the quality of food and the atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Big Tuna Sushi Bistro and was quite impressed by the variety of sushi they offer. The Japanese tacos were a unique twist that I had never seen before, and they were delicious. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great place for a casual outing. However, the service could have been a bit quicker as we had to wait longer than expected for our rolls. Overall, a lovely experience and I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
