Good Service, But Very Disappointing Food. I really wanted to enjoy my experience at Big Tuna, and I'll start by saying the customer service was good. The staff was attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, the food was a major letdown. The sushi was very bland, had almost no taste, and honestly didn't taste fresh. For a sushi restaurant, freshness and flavor are everything, and this just didn't meet expectations. It felt very underwhelming and not worth the price. On top of that, the place itself feels outdated and could definitely use remodeling or refreshing. Overall, good service but very disappointing food. I don't see myself coming back anytime soon. read more

Food is okay for the price, there are better options in town for what you get here in quality, from what I hear the quality used to be so much better here but if you just want a place to grab a quick bite you can do that here. read more

Staff were kind and service was decent. Just not our favorite sushi in town. Have tried it a few times.

Super nice staff. Food is excellent quality and extremely authentic. Very reasonably priced. Ambiance is very stylish. Highly recommended read more

Tonight I tried the gyoza (forgot to take a picture) and 2 rolls: dynamite and Oh no. Definitely preferred the Oh No more as it had more flavor. Overall, the experience, ambience and customer service was great. read more

Big Tuna is the best mid-priced sushi option in Chico. Rolls are consistently good, even for takeout.

My second favorite place to eat sushi. It's my OG place for comfort sushi. They do give a good amount. The flavoring is good as well.

The lunch special is such a good deal! Ordered the A+B lunch special and a yellowtail handroll. It came with overall great sashimi (the salmon was so fatty, the tuna was alright, and the albacore was mild, soft and slightly sweet), tons of fluffy rice, a light and refreshing tempura medley, chicken katsu, side salad, and an orange slice. Oh and miso soup! I took the food to-go but the inside is very spacious with high ceilings. read more

Great experience here. The sushi tasted fresh with very big pieces. Even though I received 2 pieces of tuna, they made one a little different by drizzling a light sauce with some thin green onion. I chose the 8 piece sushi and would get it again. Friendly staff and fast service. It's located on the round road that goes around AV mall. You can park in their parking lot or in mall parking. read more

Big Tuna - Cucumber Christmas tree on my sushi!!! So cute!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Palmdale, California

Dined at this location several times. This visit we placed an order for pick up. Service was great upon arrival. Everything was correct in our order bento boxes and sushi rolls. nicely packaged and separated so things aren't soggy and cold foods aren't mixing with the hot, plenty of sauce for sushi, ginger and wasabi. Teriyaki beef, shrimp skewers, yakitori (chicken & vegetables), crunch roll, ca roll, mixed tempura, soup and salad. My parents are faithful patrons to this establishment. Nice space to enjoy a night out or celebrate special occasions. read more

I've been coming here for years. This place has great service and the food is always incredibly delicious.

Although a bit pricey the food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice the staff on top of everything

Pleasantly surprised. We normally drive 60 mins for GREAT sushi..... BUT a 5 min drive for something decent to fill the void is fine. Fish cuts for nigiri were sizeable. Overall price was great. We'll be back... read more

Not the same. Quality of the food has gone downhill. The sushi used to taste fresh and satisfying, now, it's mediocre at best. We have been going to Big Tuna for over fifteen years and while I'm upset that they no longer have the all you can eat, the quality has taken a nosedive. Save yourself some money and go grab yourself some 7Eleven sushi because it's comparable at this point. read more

Ordered through Post-mates and I'm hoping I don't need to go to the doctors tomorrow after having a bite. I love sushi. And this wasn't it. Soggy rice. Old fish. Not even enough to cover the roll. Sauce that tastes like old oil. Just all bad. Never again. read more

Big Tuna - Trash - Sushi Bars Near Me - Palmdale, California

I ran into an embarrassing situation today. I decided to take my kids out to their favorite sushi spot (here), since we've been homebound since my husband had surgery last week, so an evening out sounded nice. Well, I left my purse at home (I live 25 minutes away) and thought it's ok, I can pay with my Apple Wallet, but our waitress informed me that they don't accept Tap payments. I was able to speak to management, who was able to accommodate a different form of payment and let me just say how grateful and relieved I was! THANK YOU! I won't forget my purse next time, but that's what I get for getting the kids' things ready, except mine lol Food and service was great as ALWAYS. read more

Yummy sushi place in Palmdale! The food: I was pretty impressed by the sushi here! We went in for lunch and for a lunch special. I got a bento box with sashimi and chicken teriyaki (which comes with rice, salad, vegetable and shrimp tempura, and miso soup). The box was very filling as I couldn't even finish it all. The sashimi was all very fresh. The one fish in the trio of fishes that was not great was the tuna - it was very rubbery. I didn't even end up eating the tuna for that reason. Besides the tuna mishap, the others were delicious!! We also ordered the 911 roll and I LOVED the flavors that were present. The atmosphere: the location was great!! It's new renovated location is great. The vibe is good and the setup is open. It's not a traditional sushi bar but they pulled it together very nicely. The staff and sushi chefs were helpful and accommodating. Will I come back? Yes! read more

Big Tuna - Albacore Special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Palmdale, California

I've been here several times before, and have never had an issue. However, almost two weeks ago I decided to grab a couple rolls. I realized one of the rolls had a parasite, commonly found in yellowtail; which was the roll it was on. I called and wanted a refund and they said they couldn't because the merchant has taken the payment. That makes zero sense, they then offered a gift certificate to purchase at their location in either Palmdale or Lancaster. I don't think anyone would go back after seeing a parasite in their sushi. read more

I found a piece of hair on my salmon roll. I told the server and they didn't do anything about it.

Great presentation, great service, clean environment okay sushi. Half of the sushi, especially thw fresh rolls were good. Anything that was fried had a bit of an old oil taste. I wish I would have known they put Bonito flakes on alot of the rolls. I personally am not a huge fan of them as they taste very "fishy". Not bad but not great. read more

Waitresses have attitude. Concerns were voiced with owner , he just rolled his eyes and said "yep" . To give context, we came 22 mins prior to closing. We asked if it was okay and were told yes , we have 5 mins till kitchen closing . We complied. We weren't expecting to get many things or make it difficult for the server. Been there done that. Right when we sat down , we were given waters and told "you have 5 minutes" with an entitled attitude from one waitress with long dark hair. It ruined the entire mood. When we got up and left asked for the name of the employee we were told they aren't allowed to give a name. The other waitress said "I don't have to give you my name and I been here all day". I work 12-16 hour shifts, I don't pay for bad quality and overly expensive food for its portion size for bad service and still expect a decent tip. To the two girls, it doesn't require much skill to work in an air conditioned room and take orders so your long day Isn't equally as valid compared to someone who worked all day in the sun doing manual labor or one that requires skill or brain power. To the owner, if your employees have this much attitude and are "overworked" , hire more staff instead of keeping miserable employees that ruin the entire experience and integrity of your restaurant who don't want to work . When there are people who would probably appreciate the opportunity and do a better job than entitled grown adults who want to act like children and depend on their mother and father. read more

Just a review for the food/take out. The udon soup and garlic edamame were perfect. The soup ingredients were fresh, and the broth was separately packaged and secure with no spills during the drive home. We plan on dining here again. read more

The good was not that great and same with their cocktails. The service was slow as well. The sushi wasn't that great and does not taste fresh. Their martinis taste water down. read more

Great service for our little birthday girl thank you! Food was as expected delicious! This is a very consistent restaurant...making it feel trustworthy for sushi. I'd def recommend this place. read more

Damn. Where do I start.... okay, if you like sushi that has plenty of sauces that cover the actual fish then this place is for you. All you can eat is a decent price, but the rolls and sushi were done sloppy, falling apart. Thought it was going to be good and delicious but I have had way better. Plenty of parking for sure, but the wait can be ridiculous since all you can eat is only at the bar not at a table and your whole party needs to be on time and ready to eat. Not Big Tuna, more like a goldfish to me. Try it out for yourselves though. read more
