    I would say this is one of the better quality rotary sushi places at the Aurora/Naperville area!…read more This place looks better than its previous store with new designs and more TVs for entertainment. The restaurant is also very clean with good ventilation and brightness. As for food quality, it is quite decent as well! I love their sushi with scallops as I could taste its' flavor. The salmon sashimi was also very fresh. They also have a good variety of appetizers and options such as ramen, udon and desserts. The staff are also very polite and attentive. If you crave for rotary sushi in Aurora/Naperville, this restaurant would fit your craving!

    Visited on a Saturday night after 7. Was very busy and ended up waiting about half an hour. The…read moreplace was very full and I totally get that. I had a little time to look at the interior and people watch. It was a younger crowd and probably data night for a few. Interior did remind me of trendy hip style you see in some sushi places. When I got seated the waitress was helpful pointed a few things out and showed me the conveyer and the ordering tablet. I was looking forward to trying the rotating meal options off the conveyer belt. I have been to a couple of these style places before. Now I did see they were going to stop serving before the actual close time so I wanted to dig right in and get a few things. I ended up with 3 places which were ok a spicy tuna, tuna nigiri, and one of their custom rolls. Fish tasted ok and rice was not dry. I waited and watch for about 10 minutes for other things of interest to rotate around and there really wasn't much(not much on the conveyer or new things being put out) I ended up going to the tablet to just place orders there, which was a little bit of a bummer. I like the mystery of what is going to come around the conveyer next and trying something random. It was around 8:15 and I wanted to make sure I got food before they closed kitchen. The delivery for the tablet ordered sushi was on a little vehicle that rolled out on top of sushi conveyer, which was cute I could seek kids getting a real kick out of that. I decided to try a ramen which ended up being hand delivered. Soup was not hot it was more just warm which didn't work great with the noodles. They have to sit a little to soften up. I think it would have been better if it was hot. I could have probably just ordered the ramen alone because I did end up with too much to eat. Be careful how you order. If I was to go again, I would definitely try to go earlier to give more time on the conveyer maybe closer to 5. The place is a little far away for me to just do a causal meal so I will probably stick closer to my local favorites. If i was taking 3-4 folks out I might go for the place as a fun dining out place. Parking not a problem. Staff was pretty friendly and they did a good job of cleaning up after people dined. Prices were in line for other rotating type sushi bars I have been around Chicago. Most plates fell between $4-10 depending on what you got.

Their rolls and Appetizer's are very good. We come here one or 2 times a month. The Hostess Dalia knows our order by heart. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

    Checked out this classic sushi restaurant in Aurora. It has a lunch special allowing you to order…read moreall you can eat. Big Sea Sushi & Noodles has a lot on the menu but most get the sushi of course. Get as much of it as you want but you better eat all of it or they get mad. The prices are great especially if you eat tons of sushi. Basically they have a list of things you can order at lunch. It's all included in the special. The only thing is if you can't finish everything they charge extra for the waste. Best to order a few things at a time and finish these before ordering more. There's a pretty good variety. It's about $20 for the special at lunch. There's sushi rolls, as well as miso soup and salad. A good variety of rolls to choose from. The ones we ordered included the asparagus, pickled radish, and shiitake mushroom. All were good. The rolls were filling just enough to be able to get more. For sure the best time to come is at lunch. It's closed Sundays. There's plenty of choices for seafood eaters as well as vegetarians.

    It'sa chain, and I have to stretch a bit holding places as such to the same covenant as restos…read morelaunched by a chef, a veteran restauranteur, or an ethnic family who knows the ropes. Chains are usually ruled by their finance departments, and everyone knows nothing kills a restaurant's menu like an accountant. The tolerance on sushi and ramen is dynamic. As long as the fish wasn't spoiled, I've never had really bad sushi or ramen. I've had both that were not great, but ultimately edible (meaning it was better than going to McDonalds). In 1964, Justice Potter Stewart famously said "I know porn when I see it". And I know a chain restaurant Sushi menu when I see it. Subsequently, Chain restaurant Sushi is recognizable. Better than "Supermarket" Sushi, but not the same as a serious Sushi joint. I had a non-interesting Maki roll, one order of run-of-the mill Gyoza, and a "Ramen" wot had shrimps in it. All decent, but not championship. Not cheap, either. The most distinctive thing (and not exactly a positive thing) was the square-ish soft drink glasses. Pretty to look at , but they didn't hold enough drink to last through the meal. As I was a solitary diner, I was seated in an empty section, thus not being in the normal path of the server who seemed more interested in chatting with the Sushi "Chef", than paying attention to my empty glass. Maybe the raison d'état of innocuous sushi/ramen joints like this is to initiate squirmy eaters to the joys of Japanese eats. You know, like "training wheels" for cuisine...

    First time here. Stopped in for a quick bite. I was nervous…read morethat there were no other patrons (7 pm on a Wednesday night). Pretty atmosphere with calming music. The service was great and attentive, the sushi was oh so delicious. Fresh and pleasantly arranged . Saki could be hotter but all good. Definitely would recommend.... we will be back
