If you are looking for a perfect sashimi experience that you will never forget, go to this place! It is worth the price. They suggested me to try the Bluefin Otoro Sashimi instead of my order (I usually eat Salmon Sashimi) and it was so perfectly delicious and it melts in my mouth. I can’t wait to have another bite. I also ordered the Tokyo Smoke and surprisingly, I finished all the 8 pieces. They provided an excellent and super friendly service. 11/10 ❤️

Good tasting westernized sushi. This restaurant is marketed as an authentic Japanese restaurant, which I believe is false for a couple reasons.
1. For the price of the sashimi platter, I would consider this a higher end sushi restaurant. However, they do not provide fresh wasabi, nor do they have it on request. I also noticed their sashimi platter did not come with ginger to use as a palette cleanser. When I asked, they said they do not give ginger for sashimi, only for their nigiri.
2. They falsely advertised their Akaebi Nigiri. In their menu picture, their Akaebi Nigiri was pictured with the shrimp head deep fried and served on the side. When the nigiri came, the head was missing and when asked, they responded that they used to do this but not anymore. I have attached a picture of the menu item during our dinner, which has subsequently been taken down. No alternative or solution was provided by the staff for this mistake
3. We also ordered the Hokkaido Scallop Nigiri which was marketed as a single scallop butterflied with a dash of soy sauce on top. When arrived, the scallop was torched, which masked the natural sweetness of the ingredient.
4. The two best items that we ordered that night was the Kyushu chicken nanban and homemade ginger ale.
Overall, the food here was tasty, but I don’t think it was authentic in my personal opinion. I’ll put it this way, if someone were to ask me what I think of big catch, I’ll say it’s Instagrammable.

+ Food tasted great and was presented beautifully! A little smaller than other sushi places, though.
+ Service was great. Servers were very friendly, kind, and polite. Food also came out fairly quick.
+ Ambiance was nothing special. It was clean but there's really nothing special that makes it stand out — Not that it's a bad thing.

If I could give zero stars I would. Their take out menu is a fraction of the price of dine in, OK fine charge more to eat in but the pricing is outrageous. $10.50 for Edamame beans or 10.75 for a cucumber roll... We eat sushi once a week, this is the last time we ever eat here, hopefully you read this before it's too late. Try Miku or anything else.

Favourite sushi spot.💖🌷
Hopefully they can add a dedicated oil just for the dynamite shrimp sushi, something suitable for people who don’t eat pork, not mixed with any pork frying oil.

I’ve been going to Big Catch since their Kingsland Market days, when it was easily one of the best sushi spots in Calgary. Their Halo Roll and Magic Mushroom were incredible back then.

But over the last few years, the quality has dropped significantly. Portions are inconsistent, and the food feels like a victim of shrinkflation. They also changed their signature seasoned brown rice to plain white rice, which took away a lot of their original flavour.

The biggest issue is the fish quality — everything I had recently tasted overly fishy, almost like it had been sitting out all day. I couldn’t even finish my meal. Even my favourite rolls, once 10/10, are now closer to 2/10.

The service is still very friendly, but the menu hasn’t changed in years, and there’s no innovation despite the high prices.

Big Catch used to be great, but unfortunately it’s become a shadow of what it once was. I really hope they can turn it around. However this will be my last visit.

Absolutely one of the best sushi restaurants in Calgary (and this is coming from a massive sushi fan who lived in Japan for three years). Highly recommend!!

Absolutely loved this place! The sushi was incredibly delicious, everything tasted super fresh and was prepared with great attention to detail. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, and every bite was full of flavor. The service was friendly and fast, and the whole experience felt really well done. Definitely one of the best sushi spots I’ve tried. Highly recommend!

Big catch is small in space big on flavour and details. The food is beautifully prepared and served very fresh. Best sushi I have had in awhile with interesting choices to try. The sashimi was melt in the mouth delicious.
