Big Sushi

Service is friendly usually and food always comes quickly. My only real complaint is the man who sits beside the cash register who literally does nothing except play on his tablet. I went up to him asking if I could pay, and he just waved me off and told me to wait for a waitress.

Good value and decent price. Better than discount sushi places on spadina but nothing too special in terms of taste. F yo are hungry and in the area, stop by. Wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here
Fast service and easy to get a table

Decent Japanese Food, Great Service
Big Sushi doesn’t have the most modern interior however the prices are cheap and the service is very good, The feature a number of maki rolls and your basic Japanese bento boxes, sushi and sashimi, noodles and soups.
The Rainbow Rolls was good but assembled very loosely. The Spicy Salmon Rolls seem to not have much salmon in them and the Salmon Teriyaki in the Chef’s bento tasted pre-​cooked and dry. The Miso soup was good.
They have booths in the front, running along the side and at the back. There are few areas where you could fit a group of 6 or more together. The interior is a bit dated, however this place has great value.

This is the only sushi place I keep coming back to with friends. There’s plenty of restaurant space, the staff’s always, ALWAYS super friendly, the food comes fast and it’s inexpensive, plentiful, and yummy. Oh, and I’m a little addicted to their hot sake. Sigh, I’d like one now…

I usually don’t go for all-​you-​can-​eat («AYCE») sushi, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like it. I have to be in a particular mood (very hungry, obviously) and I need to crave it — I have to be in an I-​want-​to-​try-​everything-​now! state of mind and want nothing else but to devour large amounts of uncooked raw fish. Don’t judge, alight? There’s a time and place for everything, food included. Sometimes I long for fancy omakase, and at other times a standard sashimi and maki «love boat» will do. When I’m in no mood to deal with people I’d get a take-​out party tray and call it a night. It all just depends.
When it comes to AYCE sushi, I feel like I have a love-​hate relationship with it simply because I’m ridiculously happy once my craving is satisfied. I feel like I can conquer the world with all that yummy goodness inside me («conquer the world» usually means «I get a really good night sleep»). But right after, more like the moment I walk out of the restaurant, I would hate myself for wasting my precious calories on medicore, run-​of-​the-​mill quality AYCE food. That is what you can expect from Big Sushi.

I’ve gone a couple times normally around 5~ to get the lunch menu (for dinner). They have insane value with my favourite order being Udon with a Cali roll ($ 10) — chicken teriyaki bento is pretty great too. The service is mediocre, as I’ve had to flag down the waitress but the food is ultimately really great.

Big Sushi is a sushi restaurant located in the Annex on «sushi row». Big Sushi offers competitively priced sushi, tempura, teriyaki and other dishes found at a sushi place. It isn’t an all-​you-​can-​eat restaurant. Big Sushi offers more vegetarian selections than the typical cheap sushi restaurant. With some discussion and negotiating, many sushi rolls CAN be made vegan. There’s LOT of seating in the back of the restaurant, but the aisle you walk down is narrow. The bathrooms are located down a flight of stairs and are gendered.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive place for Sushi on Bloor, this place is great. As previously mentioned, the rolls can be ridiculously large. However, if you’re someone like me who wants «a lot» of sushi but can’t necessarily eat enough for all-​you-​can-​eat sushi to be worth it, this place is great. You can get a very nice sushi dinner with rolls, soup, and salad for $ 10 plus tax for dinner. Their $ 6.99 lunches are also a steal and worth trying.

This place is pretty decent. I wouldn’t say they’re the best, but they have a huge assortment of lunch specials from Monday to Sunday and go until 5 pm. I like the fact they have more vegetarian rolls than just the standard California or avocado rolls. They had a vegetable dragon roll, and it tasted just like a normal dragon roll. It was delicious.
I also ordered the vegetable udon lunch special. It was okay, a bit salty, but it filled my tummy.
Verdict: If you want cheap Japanese, this place is pretty decent.

It’s one of those places where I don’t expect anything much from food or service.
Their rolls and sushi aren’t too bad and the price is cheap enough. That’s probably the only thing you should go for
The seafood udon was so plain! Basically noodle soup and bunch of small shrimp thrown in.
Service is just meh. They’re nice enough but don’t expect anything above average.
3 stars cause their rolls are big indeed (but I suspect they got smaller since last time I went there)

My go-​to place for good, casual setting sushi ! I absolutely adore the fact that you don’t have to check for specific timings to get all the good deals — fancy rolls like eel, spicy salmon, etc. are only about $ 6 for a plate, and the dinner bento boxes are oh so filling for $ 17, especially for a sushi place.
I feel that the quality is fine, especially with how much they give you, so there aren’t any problems on that end. It has a lot of room in the back (closer to the kitchen), so there’s no need to worry about long lines, either! Wish you didn’t have to pay at the front though (along with waiting for them to see you) and maybe a router would do this place good. Other than that, the service was fast and friendly, and I was quite surprised with how I haven’t found this place before. Definitely one of the underrated favorites.

This is a decent place. Me and my friend were looking for an all you can eat place but ended up here instead. No worry. For 35 bucks total we were able to get our fill. The unagi and dynamite rolls were good. Bear in mind when you order the rolls are quite big. It really does live up to their name. I do wish the fish to rice was better but what are you going to do. One thing that worried me about this place was how empty it was when I went. I usually try to go to busiest sushi restaurants because that gives you a better chance have fresh fish (which is a big deal when you’re eating raw fish!). At the end of it my stomach was perfectly fine. It might actually be a plus if you want to have an intimate date with a lovely dining partner.

Was very surprised with how large the rolls were. The udon came with a decent amount of chicken pieces and the sushi tasted fresh. The service was also friendly and attentive.

Staff are friendly and accommodating. Ample portions for affordable prices. Food is good. Definitely a quantity over quality type of restaurant. Will come back again if I’m in the area and I’m super hungry. 3.5 stars.

The name is very fitting. Rolls here are bigger than usual.
I had the combo. Miso soup wasn’t good, and the salad was made entirely of lettuce that was browning, with two slices of cucumber on top… I didn’t eat any of it (no oxidizing lettuce for me, please), and it dampened my appetite.
However, the rolls themselves are passable. I could taste and see that a lot of ingredients were not that fresh, though.
The lunch special is not a bad deal (2 large rolls for $ 7 – 8 with not-​so-​good miso soup and brown salad), but this is in an area with even better deals (better food and good quantity for price) all around.

You can’t go wrong with a large sushi platter (take out) for $ 35 taxes included! The quality of sushi is average, but comparable to sushi on bloor and other all you can eat sushi places in the Annex. The staff is friendly and you can pay with credit card.
Definitely a bang for your buck!

It’s our favourite go to for quick and cheap takeout. $ 35 (tax included, cash only) for 54 pieces of take out sushi. It’s nothing fancy or over the top, and we’ve never actually had a sit in meal, but their sushi is fresh, tasty and quick!

There are quite a few sushi places in this area (Annex), and I think Big Sushi continues to be a returning favourite of mine for its environment, food portions, and value. You normally get quite a bit of food for what you pay, so A+ for that. The food (rolls and bentos) are average quality but huge, so it’s not like they skimp on quality for quantity.
They also have a few signature rolls that are fun to try. I normally order a bento + roll, but have yet been able to actually finish that.

Best bargain bento box lunches I’ve found in TO
Decent quality, it’s not top end so don’t be moaning
$ 9 bento lunch and I’m stuffed
Good tempura
Good service (except they never refill tea)
Sushi isn’t high end, but nothing to complain about, it’s Korean owned and ran, as are many in TO.
You get what you pay for, and I go often for bento lunch… Love the shrimp tempura, and sweet potato tempura the most.
Not many $ 10 meal places left these days,… Hope it stays this way.

Read as 1.5
The food here is slightly below average — quality of the sushi can sometimes dip, and their sushi rolls have a tendency to fall apart while their fish can sometimes not be very cold or fresh…
The price is fairly standard for sushi joints in this area, which likely attests to why the food here is slightly sub par quality. The service is horrible, it takes forever to flag down a waiter/​waitress and get anything done — get water/​tea, get your order taken, have the bill, etc. The servers here can also be extremely brusque and rude. I’ve also seen waiters glaring at customers at their tip, if it isn’t that substantial. But honestly, how do you expect that much tip, if your service was so poor/​almost nonexistent?
If you’re in a rush, this is honestly not the place to do, they food doesn’t come that quickly and getting a waiter/​waitress to get anything done will take up most of your time!

I came here today after school.
At first, I wasn’t liking the idea of walking from college to bloor in the cold just for dinner. However, I’m glad I did!
Friendly service as soon as my friends and I walked in. We sat near the door although there were more seats inside. Pro: we were near the washroom. The washroom is average looking and fairly clean, which I did not expect at all based on the aged décor and location.
My two friends ordered the Maki combo ($ 13)
while I ordered the Phila Volcano roll ($ 5.95 for 8 pieces). I was very full by my fourth roll and I’m usually one who could wipe out AYCE restaurants. It was exactly what it was said to taste like: crunchy, creamy, sweet, spicy. As for my friends, neither of them could finish and had to pack to go.
Definitely will be returning!
