big tuna japanese cuisine

my favorite restaurant. wife and i have been going there for several years. the food is just outstanding and the service is very friendly. love the atmosphere. my favoriteplaceto eat by far... i was never a huge fan of sushi until i found big tuna.

sushi is good for the soul. and thisplacehas good sushi. it was yummy in my tummy. but there were no 4rks. the service was good but not very friendly. there was also a crying baby in the kitchen and this scared me. i was scared. the food was good but i was scared. the wasabi was hot but i did not blink

onlyplacewe get takeout from in new berlin!. big tuna opened around the time we first moved to new berlin from chicago - holy crap were we excited when we discovered it was not just good but great. we've been getting takeout there at least once a month - sometimes 2-3 times a month when busy - ever since. have never had a bad meal here - we usually get sushi but have also had a number of the hot dishes as well. from a sushi standpoint, it is a bit pricier than some of the similar "hole in the wall" places in big cities, but the quality is right on par. totally worth the $ to be able to get in new berlin. and knowing you're getting excellent quality. during the whole "tuna scrape" fiasco, that affected "imitation" japanese/chinese restaurants here, big tuna stood out as aplacethat doesn't cut corners or compromise quality.

don't forget to look for big tuna coupons in the local biz coupon circular - can't go wrong with $5-$20 off your order.

p.s. - if you are a japanese sushi purist that prioritizes authenticity above all else, this isn't your spot: this is a combo japanese/chinese restaraunt that, not shockingly, caters a bit more to midwestern/wi taste. (cheese in some rolls, fair amount of cooked options in addition to raw, etc. that said, not hard to avoid as plenty of options, or ask for rolls w cheese to be made w/out etc.) but if you are simply hungry for quality, tasty raw fish or some delicious japanese/chinese dishes from aplacewith friendly staff, this is your place.

pretty good sushi. after i read the review where the person said the big tuna is really a chinese restaurant that serves sushi, i felt compelled to write a review, i mean the name of theplaceis big tuna, no where in the name should you get the idea that this is a chinese restaurant. every sushi restaurant serves dishes for non-sushi eaters. but i digress, the sushi here is good and fresh, the only knock i have is that the rolls are a little on the smaller side so don't be afraid to order the 3 roll maki or 3 rolls in general. i am not big on the saucy boutique sushi, and they do have sushi like that for those that prefer it (not that there's anything wrong with that), but they have good choices for good straight up sushi and rolls. their presentation is good, quality is good, if your in new berlin, its worth a try.

good sushi. i liked this place, not as good as the cities best, but its out in new berlin away from the main crowds and still manages to be fresh and tasty.

i had the black dragon roll and a roll special. the black dragon roll was good, not as good as many of reviewers implied it might be though (but it is hard to live up to that hype). the other food was also good. the ginger dressing is not on the list of good stuff though, i know everyone does it differently but this was pretty bad. the miso soup was alright if a bit bland. for a miso soup it seemed to be somewhat flavorless, but it was still good and i love miso soups so i will certainly have it again.

the service was top notch and even though we were not the only people in theplacewe were treated as such. that is unusual for the location, most places in this area tend to fall on the lousy side of the service wheel, often you have to find a more built up area to find better service, but thisplaceis the exception to that rule.

the decor is fun as well, as it is all done up in a more traditional japanese restaurant sort of way. of course it is mostly an americanised view of that style and it still has its non traditional things, it does add a level of atmosphere that many other japanese places, and especially sushi joints, have eschewed as of late and replaced with clean modern designs. this gives thisplacean interesting and enjoyable ambiance. i liked it.

all in all i recommend thisplaceto anyone in the new berlin area. its close, its locally owned and operated, its good, its not priced higher than other similar places nearby and in the end those things together make this a winning choice. that said they are competing with kyoto by southridge which for my money is the best sushi in the city (so far) and slightly better in most ways. but for anyone in the south western parts of greater milwaukee this is a compelling choice and one of my favorites. competition is good and i think this will make all of these places better, as there seems to be a market for good sushi in mke.

excellent all around!!!. wow! this restaurant was quite surprising.

i thought it was just a little hole in the wall sushiplacebut it is much more than that! it is decorated implacably and very comfortable. the staff is amazingly helpful and efficient and best of all, the food is fabulous!!!! and the presentation is amazing as well. (try the dragon roll, it's so pretty you want to take a picture of it, and it tastes good too!)

plus, everyone gets yummy soup to start with and super sweet, tasty oranges for dessert.

if you like sushi or hibachi, you have to try out this place!

big tuna = big flavor. i work near moorland and national, so i decided to give big tuna a try. it was a whim and i wasn't expecting much. this little restaurant really surprised me.

the sushi was incredible. so fresh and light that i didn't even reach for the soy sauce. i highly recommend the rainbow roll.

and the service was terrific, too. friendly and generous, the servers and hostesses really make you feel important.

give thisplacea try. you won't be disappointed.
