This was my first visit to BG Robata Sushi and I was impressed with both the food and the kindness of service. The restaurant itself is located in Bayside Bridge Plaza, near the center corner.The interior of the restaurant was open, airy and clean. Very comfortable and welcoming with a traditional sushi restaurant feel (No TVs, or gaudy decorations). Calm jazz and traditional music discreetly filled the air. There's a large comfortable bar, which I chose (though it does not have a footstep, so I used a neighboring chair for this purpose since I'm short). An open area kitchen behind the sushi bar was a pleasant surprise. There was table seating with half-booth style benches against the wall. No true booths though, for those that may be wishing a more secluded eating experience. I actually prefer this though my wife (who was not with me at the time) always prefers booths.I ordered Asahi beer with the sashimi lunch special and a side Japanese bagel roll. The sashimi special (pictured) was quite delightful as they included octopus, conch and crab salad with the traditional tuna, salmon, yellow tail, and escalar. These were bedded on fresh, crisp lettuce and beautifully displayed. It also included soup or salad. I chose the miso soup which came out nicely hot and flavorful. All the sashimi was clearly fresh and well kept.A wonderful eating experience!Parking: Typical shopping center parking.Kid-friendliness: Several high chairs were visible.

Good rolls and helpful service. Every time I see the sign outside, at first glance I think it says Big Robot Sushi. Honestly, that would have been a better name. But we liked it.

Hidden gem imo. Fantastic food, great service and decent prices for sushi. Location is ok, but inside it is really nice. Def stop by if you like good sushi. Also, very kind when we came with our toddler.

Im a big sushi lover and this is the best I have ever had. Better than any sushi restaurant in Clearwater. The owner has a true passion and you are reminded of it with every bite.

I was saying this a couple of times in Tampa Bay Area restaurants, but now I mean it. This is the best sushi I’ve ever tried in my life! We tasted a lot, but sashimi set and "Godzilla" sushi were just perfect. Very nice service and atmosphere. Thanks a lot!

The food was absolutely amazing. Tried some different dishes and rolls ? and every single one was a flavor sensation. Cannot wait to try more items we had a hard time narrowing down our selections so many tempting items on the menu. The service was spot on from start to finish. One of the chefs stepped out to make sure our dish wasn't too hot and we were enjoying it. We will be back and my recommendation make your way to this great place you won't be disappointed!!!

Have eaten sushi regularly for over 30 years. Ignore any reviews less than 5 stars. Recommend lunch special with best house salad around and high quality rolls to choose from. Special rolls are very large and masterfully portioned. Fun atmosphere and exceptionally kind staff.

My bosses told me about this place cuz we both like to go around trying new restaurants. All I can say is I have ZERO complain and WILL be back again soon. The vibe is so cute and the food is wonderful. The sashimi and nigiri is very fresh. we were eager to try their dishes so I didn’t take a picture of our main course. We ordered beef curry and Tonkatsu (pork katsu); They’re both really tasty. Highly recommend this place!
