" My recent visit to Big Tuna was a mixed bag. On one hand, the sushi was very flavorful and well-crafted. On the other hand, we waited longer than expected to be seated, despite having a reservation. The staff was friendly but appeared stretched thin. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and is perfect for a casual night out. If you don't mind the wait, the food will definitely pay off. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and the chef selection and thoroughly enjoyed both. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a regular at Big Tuna for several years, and I’ve seen both the ups and downs. On this visit, the food was still exceptional with fresh ingredients and creative rolls. However, the service seems to be slipping as we noticed delays in getting follow-ups. The atmosphere still holds a great vibe, but I wish they would get back to the stellar service I used to experience here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down one of the best sushi places I’ve been to! As someone who's tried sushi all over the country, I can confidently say Big Tuna stands out. The flavors meld beautifully and the freshness is evident. I fell in love with their unique Japanese tacos—what a creative concept! The staff was attentive and friendly, and I enjoyed the lovely design of the restaurant. A bit of advice: go during off-peak hours if possible, as it gets packed quickly. I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional visit at Big Tuna. The decor is modern and inviting, making it the perfect place for a night out. The sushi rolls were expertly crafted and were bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the salmon roll and the spicy tuna. Their service was friendly and attentive, adding to the pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for quality sushi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Big Tuna was disappointing. While the food had potential, it wasn't executed well and felt bland compared to what I've had elsewhere. The service also fell short as our order took too long to arrive, which dampened the mood. The ambiance was nice, but the lack of flavor and timely service would keep me from returning any time soon. " (*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*)
