| - This place has a super cheap lunch special that rivals even non-sushi hotspots in the nabe. Their lunchtime meals average $6-7, which includes miso soup, iceberg lettuce salad, and unlimited green tea.
Big Sushi's rolls are definitely big. Their Spicy Maki Combo ($10.50) has got to be one of the most filling on their menu. It's just rolls upon rolls of spicy salmon/tuna stuffed with tempura bits to add crunchy texture. For dinner, my boyfriend and I split this dish with their Veggie Maki combo ($10) to make a complete meal for ~$20 (includes soup and salad for both).
The front of the restaurant is deceiving as it looks quite small. But their back area is huge and if you are a "OMG! I love booths!" type of person, this place is your friend.
Unlike 'New Generation' and 'Sushi on Bloor', Big Sushi actually de-veins their shrimp! I stopped going to New Gen because I was so sick and tired of losing my appetite over Dynamite rolls that have little black dots of poop and silt in the cross-section of the shrimp. Yo, that is gross.
I agree with the first reviewer--At peak times, you may feel neglected. The wait staff tend to get flustered during prime dining hours.
I offer 4 out of 5 because it's not highly sophisticated sushi. But for their location, portions, and comfortable seating, it's a deal!
