Big Catch Sushi Bar

+ 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.

Beautiful presentation, incredible service and the atmosphere is relaxing.
Presentation and flavour will keep you coming back time and time again.
Lots of parking.
The rolls are not their strong suit. They were not as flavourful or presented the same way as the rest of the menu.
They went out of their way to make the birthday boy feel special. This is the fourth time I’ve been to this restaurant and I look forward to going again soon.

If the fish is good the quality will speak for itself. There's no need for scoring or flowers. Scoring the fish makes me think they're hiding the quality of the otoro by cutting it. The cuts also change the texture of the otoro and make it seem stringy.

The food is fine but I expected better. The good news is that the rice is well seasoned and perfectly textured. The fish seems high quality. The most surprising part was the saba. Usually very strong and leaves an aftertaste but the saba was pleasant. The presentation was nice as well.

The menu is surprisingly small because it is a sushi bar but it's fashioned like a sit down restaurant. Even for a bar the food selection is very small. So the expectation is off. They also have a hard to use app. Just ask for the menu.

Big Catch could easily compete with quality sushi spots in Japan. Each plate was an art form and each piece was a delicacy, the staff were very kind and accommodating, and the atmosphere was calm. A very rare and very welcome gem in Calgary, and our new favourite!

Service was bad not recommending this Restaurant. I had a bad experience just coming to this restaurant. I call to book a table for two. The person I talk too said I can just walk in. After 5 minutes we arrived at the restaurant. Told her for two and I saw lots of available table about 7 table then she told me I have to wait for 30 minutes. I told her I call like literally 5 minutes ago, and told her you should’ve told me to book so I don’t need to come and wait here for 30 minutes all I got is 30 minutes I am sorry.
