Really great sushi for the price. Service was awesome too, the guy really took his time to make recommendations according to what we liked. It seems like they mostly focus on rolls as most of their menu covers the various rolls they offer. However, we ordered some sashimi on the side too and it was fresh and tasted great. Would totally recommend. The miso soup was really good too. The presentation of the food is great and I thought it was kind of funny that we were eating off of a gigantic plate. The food all tastes as good as they look though so don't worry :D I have to point out that the hours of operation are kinda wonky, and they do make everything once ordered so it takes them some time, especially if they are busy. I believe you can call to order take out/pick up. We spent our time walking around the farmer's market as they give you a buzzer for when your food is ready. Wouldn't recommend as a place to grab a quick bite. read more

Big Catch Sushi - Roll Platter for 4 - 62.25 - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I ordered sushi for me and my friends during the Corona pandemic. They packed it beautifully with a little note on the lid saying 'Thank you so much Mitchell enjoy the sushi and have a beautiful night '. Even when you can't dine in due to the quarantine, they still find ways to be super nice. When dinning in they are the best service I have ever experienced at any restaurant. The sushi is a bit pricey, but TOTALLY worth it. It is absolutely delicious and I can't describe my love for their food. Friendliest staff and Best sushi Ive ever tasted. Very good sushi for a very reasonable price considering the quality. Would highly recommend for anybody don't miss out on trying the sushi from this small little restaurant, it is to die for. Thank you Big Catch! read more

Big Catch Sushi - The note - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Un. Freaking. BELIEVABLE. No joke. Big Catch was recommended to me by my brother and it was spot on! My boyfriend, my daughter and I went in on Saturday around 12:30 and were greeted by all of the staff. The ambiance was calming, but vibrant. We checked out the menu, boyfriend and daughter ordered sake. I had a house made ginger ale - delish! We ordered their speciality rolls, the Nine-One-One, the Y.R.A, the Wegyu, and the Magic Mushroom. The flavours were surreal. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Our servers explained every dish, and were super helpful. We crushed those and then ordered the Ebi Mayo, and the assorted tempura, they were all cooked to perfection. We finished off with the matcha panna cotta and the rose yuzu sorbet. TL;DR: everything about this place was amazing. The staff have an obvious passion for t what can only be described as art. Plating was stunning, and they used edible flowers! You can see the pride they take in their craft. I live in Saskatoon and am already looking forward to going back! read more

Such a beautiful sushi experience. Everything is presented so beautifully and the staff was all so lovely. We're so happy that we found this gem of a restaurant. It will be our go to for sushi from now on. read more

This is a great little sushi stand in the Calgary Farmers Market that is sure to satisfy any sushi lover but also has non fishy rolls for those who can't eat raw things. I'm in the former group and I really enjoyed my solo visit on a Thursday for lupper (between lunch and supper hour). Try the spicy catch combo because at 14 bucks it's super filing for 1. The staff is friendly too ;) read more

Outstanding sushi, as expensive as other YYC joints but this one stands out for freshness, creativity, and for delivering a great customer experience. Eat here. read more

Wow!! Super impressed with this place! For a small spot at the farmers market, this place has some serious flavour and freshness for sushi. Everything on the menu looked amazing and it was really hard to narrow it down as I was a solo diner that afternoon. I will definitely be bringing back more people so I can sample more items. I decided on the rodeo rider roll (based on the recommendations from other yelpers), the autumn haze roll, which was a new edition, as well as salmon sashimi. First and foremost, I want to say that the presentation of the sushi is beautifully done, complete with gorgeous geode plate. The sushi also was absolutely delicious. I loved the subtle spice and crunch from the garlic chips from the rodeo rider roll, I really recommend that one if its your first time. The salmon sashimi also tasted really fresh. Another bonus is that they have brown rice as an option for no extra charge! They have lots of combos and platters, so this is an excellent place for take out sushi. I can't wait to come back for more! The only downside of this place is their hours as they are only open during the farmers market. read more

Mighty fresh and tasty. Very clean and modern. Excellent experience with the service. In addition to the sushi basics, they had some very good custom items. Worth trying just for their own custom items. read more

I started eating at Big Catch years ago when they were still in the market. I was so pleased when the brothers moved to their current location. They did a fabulous job decorating, and making the space feel modern, comfortable and current. The food is always delicious. Everything is made from scratch and is PERFECT every single time. They have inventive new rolls on the regular, and their cocktails are incredible. I normally don't indulge, but it's impossible not to enjoy a drink there. My absolute favourite roll is the Green Halo, and my partner is obsessed with the dumplings. I really can't say enough good things about Big Catch. Service, food, ambiance and consistency are all grade A. Takeout during Covid times has been easy with their online ordering system. As usual the takeout is beautifully made and displayed, and accompanied by handwritten thank you notes with little water colour sushi rolls. The personal touches bring me so much joy. This restaurant is maximum effort allllll the way. read more

So fresh and beautiful presentation. Was in a hurry and I was accommodated within a short period of time. Tempura shrimp were huge. I will be back. Very clean inside. Very friendly staff. read more

Quality sushi at an unassuming location. Coming from Vancouver, and now living in Edmonton, it was a nice surprise finding an authentic Japanese run sushi joint on the south side of Calgary. Service was excellent and selection varied with something for everyone. Quality of fish was fresh though consistency was not 100% through every dish. The house made drinks were quite refreshing and unique, and pair well with the seafood offerings. Price was on the expensive side and overall comparable to places such as Miku in Vancouver, though with value being slightly lower. However for all sushi restaurants in Alberta this is to be expected. Would definitely visit again if in the area. read more

Absolutely delicious!! Fresh sushi, creative rolls, and super friendly service. Try the miso soup with the salmon dumplings. The miso is not too salty and the dumplings are melt in your mouth. They also have a fresh seaweed salad, which is a mix of sweet and crunchy, and a really cool Japanese soda that's a mix between cream soda and sprite, but on the less sweet side. Comes in a neat bottle that they will show you how to use. Yes, the bottle requires instructions. read more

I can't believe how awesome this sushi is. Seriously. Not only is it presented beautifully all the time, but it is ALWAYS so FRESH and delicious. The unagi is some of the best I've ever had. (and I eat sushi A LOT) IIt is also a very good value for the price. I've been to "fancy" sushi places that don't do it even half as good as these guys and for twice the price. Try the passion sunrise roll (crab, avocado, topped with salmon, tobiko and a yummy sauce) too -- so good! Great for take-out or grab a plate and sit and do some people watching at the farmer's market. So so good. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. :) read more

This is my favourite sushi joint in town. The staff are attentive and friendly. Their sushi presentation is impeccable! Wasabi dragons, squid flowers, and radish petals. They even made me a wasabi bear for my blog! You can see them prepare the sushi as soon as you order it so it's super fresh! I have tried almost every single roll on their menu and have never been disappointed. Wait, OK once. But that was because the 911 roll didn't burn my tongue like I thought it might have. The sushi rice is also perfectly prepared, something that is often lacking at other restaurants. If you haven't tried some Big Catch sushi, you're missing out! read more

It was a bit tough for me to go to Big Catch because of the Kingsland Farmers' Market is only open between 9-5 pm. If you want to try it, it might be a good idea to come for lunch. I stopped by on a whim on a late afternoon and I was surprised to find the market open so I ventured inside. Big Catch is good, the staff is very friendly and the food is priced very reasonably for sushi. There is a good variety of creative rolls. You can tell it's a small start-up and the staff really appreciate your business. Being in the food court of a Farmer's Market, there are many things around it to supplement to experience, try the juicer in the market if you want something to quench your thirst. I would go again if I'm in the vicinity, though I'm not sure if the market will always be open when I'm around. read more

Best sushi in Calgary by far. Amazing service, doesn't take long to get your order and the food is absolutely amazing. Decently priced too for such great quality. read more

Big Catch was such a great find for us. We have tried sushi all over Calgary and it is generally okay and often overpriced. Big Catch in my opinion is leading the way in the Calgary sushi scene with very high quality sushi prepared with incredible detail at very reasonable prices. They also seem to always have toro in stock which makes me very happy. I can't tell you how many places in Calgary are always sold out of tuna belly! I generally like having a beer with sushi so we almost exclusively do take away (no license at the Farmer's Market... yet!). We pretty much place an order every weekend or so. I hope they decide to open up a licensed place some day. They are masters at what they do so they will be successful no matter where they end up. When you serve amazing food, people will always find you! read more

I love Big Catch. Both my daughter and I are gf and they will ensure you your dietary restrictions are accommodated! You can order half roll orders on most rolls too , if you can't decide on what to eat! Non and his team are great! Can't wait till they are open full time Green halo is my six year old's favorite dish these days. Amazing people and food in a casual setting. read more

The big catch is the best sushi in calgary. There, that's done. Somehow their sashimi is fresher and fresher every time I eat there (which is quite often.) they are true artists as well, and the presentation is so delightful that it makes a lunch out an enriching experience. The young fellow at the register (whose name I can t remember) is so nice and always has a smile and is so thoughtful and considerate that he brightens my day. But it really comes down to the Toro. It will transport you to a special place. read more

My daughter and I visited Big Catch today inside Market on MacLeod, first time and my first impression is that the taste, texture and presentation of the dishes we ordered were excellent. We were quite impressed, not only with the quality of the food but also of the service. I didn't expect them to bring out our dishes and also take them away as we finished eating, perhaps it helped that we were sitting right across from them but kudos to them being quite observant even though they were quite busy when we ordered. We placed our order and we were given a buzzer/pager and we took a seat; we only waited roughly 5-7 minutes while we strolled casually at the adjacent produce market and patiently anticipated our page to buzz. We ordered gyoza, the Dragon roll, Dynamite roll and California roll. We were pleased with all of them. What I've noticed was that the different flavors from the ingredients in each of the rolls were distinct, fresh and delicious! I'm definitely going to recommend this sushi bar to my sister and her family; I will definitely be back to try the other items in their menu. Keep it up Big Catch, good job! read more

We are on a road trip from Southern California, and had a hankering for sushi. This has to be one of the best presentations of nigiri that we've ever experienced. The attention to detail of decorations on the plate (all edible and suitable for dabbing up with the nigiri) was an unexpected treat. We had the yellowtail nigiri and the iron goddess roll, ginger beer and ginger creme brulee, all outstanding. The service was very friendly and personable. Highly recommended! read more

I should snap myself why I been there so many times and haven't write a review about them....... Sorry Big Catch... This is a hidden gem inside the farmers market serving fresh quality raw seafood and prepared by ethnic Japanese sushi chef in Calgary. I always ordered Spicy Big Catch roll and seaweed salad couple times in the past, and it was fresh, good portion and well decorated on the plate presentation with modern garnish and hand crafted wasabi. Services always busy but they always walk by and double check with us, to ensure their customer satisfaction into high standard of what products they served. I will definitely return for their Spicy Big Catch roll and other rolls. However, their spicy sauce always changing, sometimes it was perfect spicy, and sometime it was overly sweet. read more

4 stars for the sushi 4 stars for the service 2 & a half stars for the value 1 & a half stars for location The best sushi in Calgary? I see that several times in the reviews here. ...kinda makes me glad I haven't craved sushi too often in Calgary. Don't get me wrong, I like Big Catch, and bought lunch here several times, as I worked close by. But it's a take-out joint, people, serving very standard fare of rather good quality - at fairly premium prices, considering that there's no restaurant or decor or even seating provided. If you're in the neighborhood you should check them out, but this is no destination for foodies seeking excellence. read more

Beautifully made sushi, and you can watch them make it. Best sushi that I've had in a long time.

A great value for good sushi. Fish is very fresh and portions are perfect. The service is friendly and efficient. I love that they use white ginger! I always get the big catch combo plus an unagi roll. Yum! Take out is super awesome and always made fresh to order. Will definitely return. read more

Big Catch Sushi - Mmmm Sushi! Spicy Tuna, Unagi, Dynamite & Passion Roll (top left to bottom) #bigcatch #sushi - Japanese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The only reason for the 4/5 rating is because of the incredibly welcoming and accommodating staff. While the restaurant is well kept and quaint, the food was nothing special. The rice on the oshi and nigiri tasted a bit mushy and the fish itself was average. The plating is beautiful and they really mean well, but I wouldn't return for the food. read more

Have always enjoyed their sashimi & rolls. Presentation is beautiful. Very fresh & delicious! Service is always friendly as well!! read more

I've had a physical addiction to Big Catch Sushi ever since they came to the Market in the late Spring last year. The things they do with sushi are so wicked that even the appearance of the rolls cause me to fall in love. I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER EVER had better Sushi in Calgary and perhaps anywhere else. They use fresh, tasty and sustainable ingredients and prepare it for you the second you order it. The guys are friendly and knowledgeable and are not only Sushi Masters, but artists. The more success that comes to these guys, the happier I am. read more

Fresh, clean, appealing and great tasting food! The Premium Sushis are a must try. Love love love the calamari with arugula and buttermilk dressing. The staff are very nice and has a genuine Japanese hospitality. Menu selection is limited unlike other Japanese restaurants but I think this is an advantage as it is not mind blowing on what to order. Despite the limited number of items, the food is exceptional! Quite different from the usual Japanese resto. Will definitely come back! read more

The place is super small, but we were seated quite fast even though it was super busy . I checked this place out online and looked at the menu. We went for dinner and the menu was completely different and had very few options. However, what we did get tasted amazing ! Big plus is that the staff are incredibly nice! read more

Best sushi I've had in a VERY long time. Had the bento box for lunch (~$18) and it was amazing. The seafood they use is so fresh it melts in your mouth and the rice to fish ratio on their nigiri is perfect. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I am Japanese. I went to there on Wednesday at 7pm with friends. It wasn't busy night. There was only few customers. I ordered OSHIZUSHI. But taste like a left over meal! I know how to make OSHIZUSHI, also i was chef. Their OSHIZUSHI are very very disgusting! Sushi rice is really dry and hard. It was kind like a flied rice. And over price! I will never go back there again! read more

From the Seattle, WA area so definitely spoiled with amazing sushi and sashimi and was craving some good sushi after a few days visiting Calgary. Was a little hesitant and ready to be a bit disappointed with any sushi we tried but this was definitely not a disappointment in any way. Excellent quality, beautiful presentation and very creative rolls. A great find and would definitely recommend. read more

Best sushi in Calgary. The owner and well-trained staff take customary Japanese levels of service seriously. Not the cheapest in the city, but you get what you pay for. Home made ginger ale and sockeye salmon sushi are some of my favorites read more

This was always my favourite sushi at the market on McLeod, and their restaurant does not disappoint! The sushi is so fresh, and the environment is great with very friendly staff read more

I had my best sushi experience here in Calgary. So fresh and delicious. The chef is so warm and friendly. It was a cosy place but the style of serving, the quality of food, and the hospitality was 5 stars. I strongly recommend this place. I can't wait to visit again. read more

Great place for sushi in a casual atmosphere. I come here quite often and they never disappoint. Limited but focused menu and you can tell they care about their food. Fish is always excellent, and in all the times I have been never had a bad meal. Very friendly guys. Totally recommended! read more
