This place was great! We love sushi, and we are so glad we found this spot. I was in the area and was looking for a good spot for dinner. I'm so glad I found this restaurant. We were seated in the back private room because the front room was packed. We watched them make all of the rolls, as we were right at the sushi bar, where all of the food was being made. We had bang bang sushi, edamame and I had their orange blossom roll. This was the freshest sushi I've ever had. It was amazing. We'll definitely be back! read more

The sushi is amazing here. This restaurant is definitely in my top 3 sushi spots in Bergen County. We had edamame, gyoza, the omakase (although forgive me I think it was the 12 but can't remember). I've been here twice, both times in January and the food is top notch! Follow for more on ig: chaya_loves_wine read more

I've been visiting Sushi Bada several times since it opened and it has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants for its high quality of sushi, tasty cocktails and modern & trendy atmosphere. I usually order omakase 9 or sushi selection and they are both very good . If you like fancier and creative sushi, then you can try omakase 9 , sushi selection is for the sushi lovers who prefer their sushi in the traditional way. I was going to give it 5 stars but the service we received during our recent visit is a bit sloppy. Our sushi dish came with complementary miso soup and salad but they never gave them to us until we asked for it. read more

This was my second time there and I was equally impressed both times with their Lunch specials... especially the Bento "box"... the presentation is beautiful and is very plentiful. The "Chef's Choice" sashimi was delightful. The place is modern with an upscale vibe. The service is attentive but not overbearing- we didn't feel rushed. I will return. read more

A busy night vibe for dinner. Food was good and the service was great as well. The sake we ordered was nice and dry. I didn't love their salad dressing, liked their kind Kong roll, wasn't a fan of their samurai roll but overall enjoyed dinner. read more

What a great spot for sushi! If you're looking for high quality sushi delivery, you've found the right place. Definitely on the pricier side but it's worth it. We also came here to dine in for lunch and really enjoyed it. The lunch sets are great! The inside feels like a trendy bar/Japanese place. Service was great. The restaurant is perfect for date night or a quick bite with friends. read more

The place is sexy. Don't let that intimidate you; when I went, there were people sitting at the bar unwinding to good cocktails and food. It is chill. Whether you are alone, on a date, or with friends...you are welcome. The bartender, Carlos, was spectacular and attentive. How he managed a packed Friday night with dexterity, handling drinks washing glasses, remembering every single order, while being alert and engaging. That's a G. The sushi was spectacular. Something like that, in Manhattan would cost you $100+. I had the sushi set of 8. And my hot date had an omakase set. We shared and both were amazing. I always order handrolls, because i am wary of straight up raw fish on a bed of rice....but the sushi was so fresh and soft and well seasoned with garlic and ginger and what not...I unexpectedly loved both the handrolls and the sushi. read more

High-quality fish and beautiful ambiance though be expected to wait for your table. My partner and I had made a reservation at 7:15PM and were disappointed not to be seated until closer to 7:45, nearly 30 minutes after we arrived. Although I appreciate that our host was apologetic and service once we were seated was nice, it would have felt better not to have waited - especially on such a cold winter night. In terms of the food we started off with the agedashi tofu and tuna tartare. Both were excellent and I especially liked the tartare, though you can upgrade to a version with uni and caviar if you're feeling fancy. The sushi (we did the two special roll combinations as well as a sushi dinner) was high-quality and fresh and we were pleased with the speed and quality of the rolls. We finished off with black sesame ice cream and were greeted with two large scoops of ice cream, in addition to a dollop of whipped cream. They also feature a rewards program which I thought was interesting. I'd recommend coming back and making a reservation on the earlier side so you're not waiting too long. read more

Running around all day and needed to stop to grab a healthy lunch to go. I see Bada and decide to pull over and try it out. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful! I was sorry I couldn't stay to enjoy it longer. The gentleman at the reception desk was gracious, attentive and kind. I ordered, he offered me a drink while I waited. The food came quickly and it was delicious!!! Avacado Bomb and the Mahwah. I highly, highly recommend. read more

The trust me set was super filling and all the pieces were super fresh. The bangbang shrimp was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Both cocktails were delicious and we were able to take ingredients out (ie. rosemary syrup) & ask for slight modifications:) The manager & waitor also checked in on us to make sure that everything was good. Overall, great service! read more

We've been to Sushi Bada several times now hoping to have better experiences because the food is amazing but unfortunately I don't think we will be giving it another chance after our last visit. Let's start with the positive- vibe is great, dim lit nice bar, sushi counter, and standard seating- perfect for any occasion because it does feel elevated. Food is great- we've tried different appetizers, rolls, pieces and omakase combos. The fish quality is superb especially the fatty tuna, fatty salmon, and scallop. They also have delicious wagyu that melts in your mouth. The omakase is definitely worth trying, they really excel in this category and easily rival some of the top NYC restaurants I've tried. So why the 2 star review? Unfortunately all of the above was really overshadowed by the service quality. For our latest visit, we actually brought our elderly grandparents. Took 3 times of asking to get them forks and spicy mayo. Upon asking about menu items, the server wasn't really helpful. My husband and I also got our food about 40 minutes earlier than our grandparents did. It's hard to have things come out in sync which is understandable but we were long done by the time their food even started coming out. They waited probably close to an hour between ordering and receiving their meal which was some special rolls, regular rolls, and a sashimi combo. They brought out a complimentary roll because of the hour wait time but no apology and to be honest, we just wanted to leave at this point. There were also so many plates on the table nothing was being taken away so my grandpa ended up accidentally spilling a bit of soy sauce. None of the servers even brought over a napkin. It was just truly a disappointing experience overall because we think the food is incredible. I would love to give this place another chance in the future but it won't be any time soon. read more

Came here for the first time last night and it was really yummy! The Hamachina roll was the best, followed by dragon roll and dreamy salmon roll. We also enjoyed a Kani salad and the yellowtail appetizer was divine. The cocktail drinks were okay, that's why I knocked off a star. Our waiter was new but kind. The restaurant overall is a really nice. read more

Excited to check this spot out. The last restaurant that was home here was a fan-favorite. Today is their soft opening. Server was knowledgeable and made great recommendations. He was helping out from their first location located in Suffern , NY. Cocktails: Peach pomegranate Martini (fruity / sweet) & Fall-Fashioned (Smokey, strong bourbon with a balance and uniqueness of rosemary) Appetizer: Shumai, edamame Sushi rolls: J-5 roll (shrimp tempura based with a nice kick of spicy) & Dreamy Salmon (2 types of salmon and a nice aftertaste of cilantro) Great first experience. Hope this venue does well it's in the perfect neighborhood. Been waiting for a new sushi spot to open up in Cliffside Park! read more

I had the most delicious, fresh, quality sushi here recently. My friend and I came for dinner on Saturday night and the restaurant was already packed by 7pm. We both went for the omakase for 9 and boy, were we in for a treat! Each piece melted in my mouth and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor and creative toppings. Sushi chef definitely knows what he's doing and you can tell they get their fish from high quality sources. Every piece was creamy and heavenly. One of my favorite pieces was the unagi topped with quail egg, out of this world! Sushi Bada also has a full bar with a variety of top shelf liquor. My friend and I finished a bottle of sake with our dinner. Afterwards, we hung out by the bar to enjoy some of their cocktails. The ambience is intimate and modern. It's perfect for a date or a hang out with friends. Because the space is on the smaller side, some of the tables are seated very close to each other. I did request for a different table by the corner and the manager quickly catered to our needs. No matter how busy they were, the service was outstanding. The staff is wonderful and accommodating. They checked in on us multiple times throughout the night, making sure everything was perfect. I can't wait to come back again! 10/10 :) There are tons of street parking, free after 6pm and a municipal parking lot across the street. Definitely make a reservation for weekend dinner & no need to go into the city! Quality sushi right here in town. read more

Big statement coming. This may be some of the best sushi I've had ever, and quite possibly one of the most underrated places in the country. From the timing of the plates arriving, to the knowledge of the service staff, to the great setup of the venue and availability of the sake. This place truly shines, and won't break the bank. A six piece Omakase was $36. The food was soo incredible, I giggled in disbelief after every portion. Been here twice already and may go back again today. Outstanding on every front. Great job by Sean and Dave bringing this amazing experience from Suffern NY, and now to Cliffside Park, NJ. read more

This place hits the spot with some of the best quality sushi, sashimi, and modern interpretations this side of manhattan. They have perfect cuts, and balanced flavors, letting the fish speak for themselves rather than slathering on tons of mayo, filler or sweet sauce. If you're craving great sushi, chirashi, or sashimi, give this place a try. read more

I must say the quality is unmatched. To start, the chef really takes pride in his work and it's beautiful. I came in for a late lunch and got the 7pcs lunch set. For only $30, the quality was unmatched. They kindly informed me they also do omakase so I look forward to coming for a special dinner. Thank you for your kind service and healing meal! read more

Sushi and sashimi was absolutely delicious - it melts in your mouth. I had the "Trust Me" special and my wife had the "Sashimi Sampler". It was so good we had a few a la carte pieces of our favorites at the end. Food quality is awesome, ambience is really good. They have a bar area and I saw tons of people ordering drinks. Food portions were small but prices reasonable (compared to NYC). Only negative was that service was a bit slow - forgiven since this was only their third day being opened at this location. Will definitely come back - as a foodie, I'm really excited about this place. read more
