I've been to many Sushi Restaurants locally but Sushi Bada is by far the best. The staff is friendly and clearly aims to please. The dining room is very sophisticated and fun. Most importantly the food... The Sushi and Sashimi is by far the best I've ever had. You can taste the difference almost immediately. This is the best kept secret in Rockland but word has been getting around! Give them a try! You won't regret it! -Teddy PS Try the Route 59 Roll! read more

Omg is awesome place the food is fantastic the service is amazing definitely!! I need back !! Thanks for everything guys !!

This is my weekly spot for lunch/dinner. The sushi rolls are amazing. The price is very affordable also. I always order Red Mango and Tobiko Island rolls. They just hit the spot. The Bada Exclusive is also highly recommended. When you taste these rolls, you can actually feel the different textures melting in your mouth composing a symphony. It's that magically yummy! It is THE place of choice if you want a good place for lunch or dinner around Suffern, NY. LOVE! read more

Decided this was the most worthy place for my first yelp review. Hands down the best sashimi/sushi in the area. Typically get the selection sashimi (chef's choice) and it never disappoints. No better way to judge the quality of a place's fish by getting sashimi. That being said the freshness of the fish here is on point. This joint is pricey but well worth it for the quality. Have gotten their trust me sushi and selection sushi dinners and those are excellent as well. Their clam soup is also a must try. The place is always busy no matter what day of the week and the service is always friendly and attentive. Ambience here is also a big plus. The interior has a modern, trendy vibe you would imagine seeing at a restaurant in NYC. If you are convinced that your local sushi spot in town is great, you still have to give this place a try. Well worth the trip. read more

Not bad not the best. Food was ok, although service not too friendly. Our waitress wasn't the friendly nor the happiest at the place, and was more in a rush for us to finish than to offer a good service. Although on our way out another employee was more friendly and at least smile at us and even exchanged few words with us. read more

Best sushi in Rockland without a doubt. Love the ambiance . It is the closest to a NYC sushi bar you will find around the area .

This is primarily based on the service. I get that it can take time to make a great meal, but to wait over an hour for an appetizer is simply unacceptable. My girlfriend and I came from DC to enjoy a place we both found on our last trip and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. They didn't refill water and didn't even check on us while we waited. Overall the experience was painful and frustrating. I can not recommend this place to anyone. Go down the street to another restaurant. Maybe they will treat you with respect. read more

I have been here a million times, and I have not once been disappointed. The food is so amazingly fresh and the owner really takes care of his guests. This by far is the best sushi in Rockland County. I have lived in many different places and the quality of the fish is just like fish you would get on the west coast (seattle) Sean is a great owner operator, and once you get to know him, this place just goes up a notch period. Sean I will bit visiting soon. I heard you did a remodel, and I cant wait to check it out. Have some quail egg shots ready my friend. read more

Once again.. What an amazing experience!! Let me put it to you this way, it's art in edible form that you would only expect from a restaurant down in SOHO somewhere, but it's in Suffern NY! We live in Queens and every once in a while we make the pilgrimage to Bada. Yes, it's that good! If it wasn't for the hour plus drive, we would definitely be one of their regulars. Bada should open up a second restaurant right next to my house.. Just saying.. read more

Their avocado bomb and bang bang shrimp are delicious. Not giving this place 5 stars because 1) the parking lot is awful, 2) they barely pick up their phone and 3) they need more seating- it is way too cramped up in there. The sushi is delicious. That roll they light on fire is overhyped- really not all that special. Their dessert isn't great. Solid sushi spot if you're in the area and don't mind shelling out a few extra bucks. read more

Really nice interior, fast and courteous service, and all the food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the bang bang calamari. Will definitely return. read more

Highly impressed! If they had an all you can eat menu it would be heaven on earth! I never wanted to stop eating! The Avocado bomb is a must have, as is the tiger roll. The service was great and the fish was super fresh. I even tried a few things I've never had (always a plus). Try this place. You will not regret it! read more

Sushi Bada - Avocado Bomb! It was indeed Da Bomb! We loved it! They should call it Awesome Bomb! - Japanese Near Me - Suffern, New York

Went here at the recommendation of a friend who said the sashimi is really fresh and high quality here. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was excellent as well. We ordered the Avocado Bomb, Soft-shell Crab (appetizer), Spider Roll, and Bada Sashimi. They also gave us complimentary Miso Soup! When the Bada Sashimi came out, the waitstaff kindly explained what all the different cuts of fish were, and how they varied in flavor/fish. The Avodcado Bomb was actually so good that we ordered one to go. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, creative drink menu. Make reservations for Friday night or likely to wait. Will be a regular spot from now on read more

The food was amazing. The staff friendly and attentive. This was my first time but it won't be my last

This place is fantastic. They recently re-did their menu, and there are so many offerings it's hard to choose. The sushi is creative and fresh, and the staff is so friendly and helpful. I had a chef's selection sushi platter, and my husband had an udon noodle bowl. Both were so good we went back two days later. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Sushi Bada - Japanese Near Me - Suffern, New York

Let me start by saying, do yourself a favor and get the crispy rice. It is absolutely phenomenal. I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered here. Including the cocktails. Such fun and creative rolls along with the standards - super fresh read more

Upon entry, this intimate sushi bar instantly grabs your attention with well put together décor, and a top notch staff. Being a local, I frequent the restaurant, generally ordering once every week or so. With a wide variety of delicate sushi items, Sushi Bada brings a refreshing taste to this global phenomenon. Even as a vegetarian, I've found many options that are filling and affordable, though there're some items that can be a bit pricy. These elevations in pricing are more than accounted for when you factor in quality of product and service. I'm excited to visit the new location located in Downtown Suffern, and anticipate continued high quality sushi that I've come to expect from Sushi Bada. read more

Definitely the best sushi in 10 miles. Its now my go to sushi place. Just keeps getting better

I came here after a friend recommended the quality of the food and drinks. I really wanted to love it - the cocktails were tasty and beautiful, and the ambiance of the place was very comfortable yet hip. The food overall though, was just okay. My favorite thing we ordered was the soft shell crab, which was fried nicely but for two tiny pieces, was not worth the price. As for the sushi, the quality was truly just subpar. What makes this review an even three-star however is the experience my s/o and I went through. I believe the manager at the time came to us personally to recommend us to I guess, "upgrade" our chosen fish selections free of charge. He said it was because this fish was much better and it was to accommodate us waiting for a long time. It was free, and the "upgrade" also sounded very neat so we complied. A bit after, our server came to ask us if someone had come to us to talk about the change to our order. Something about tuna and salmon. We said no, and explained that we were just told we were getting something better. Confused, he said nevermind and went away. When we received our order, it was disappointing. The roll was not what we had ordered, and the pieces we got to choose (we chose a variety of different fish) were mostly just repeats of tuna and salmon. Confused, we asked the waiter what had happened to the chef's recommended upgrades. He finally explained that in actuality, the kitchen had run out most of our selections and had given bigger fish to rice proportions to compensate it. No "better" or "upgraded" fish like the manager had said. We would not have been too bothered by this change if the sushi had been amazing, but it wasn't either. During the time the dining experience was okay, but thinking back, I felt like the establishment handled the situation poorly and unprofessionally. They were dishonest about our order and tried to maneuver us into thinking we got more desirable things off the menu by substituting quantity. I suggest that the next time this place runs out of something that the customer had ordered, instead of offering a false pretense, offer a discount or free drinks. The interior and drinks had made this a neutral experience, but I highly doubt I'd be back here again. read more

Had a wonderful lunch here with my father. The service was great and the sushi was delicious! Even though we got there close to 3, we were able to enjoy a nice lunch. I'm curious why the hours don't run later. Or perhaps they only do on certain days. In any case, I would definitely go back. read more

We finally made it to the new location and we loved it! We have been a fan for years for the great food and friendly staff. read more

First time here, and a really great experience. Staff was super sweet and friendly. And the food - WOW. Do yourself a favor and order the Bang Bang Shrimp. Amazing. Will return! read more

My favorite local Japanese restaurant. Very innovative and tasty! However...the past two times I have been there the service has been very spotty. The servers have been distracted and inattentive; items were forgotten, WE were forgotten... The food quality continues to be excellent, and we will be back, but I do hope this gets read. read more

Ate lunch here yesterday with my family. My observations: location is in a small nondescript strip mall - but inside is reasonably comfortable and clean. Despite the Japanese category this place is run by Koreans - but they know their fish (bada means "sea" in Korean). My two kids (age 9 and 10) had plenty of options and went with the pork katsu and udon soup. Both were very good and they scarfed it down. What blew my mind was the "trust me" lunch special (and it was very cool they still provided lunch specials on Saturday). For $17 I got what could arguably be called a high end omakase meal in a high end Japanese restaurant. Bottom line - trust them! And another benefit was that their 300ml sake bottle selection was (while limited in choice) both good and very reasonably priced. If I were closer I would go here every chance I got. read more

Good food good service ... dafinally going back again I also recommend korean food as well read more

If an experience was simply about food, Sushi Bada gets five stars. But you do not just eat out for food. You eat out for the experience. I had made reservations for my friend's birthday. We arrived on time, and were told we would have to wait ten minutes for the table to be ready. Ok, fine. We sit at the bar for twenty; during that time we were not asked once if we wanted a drink. Given, there was only one bartender serving the entire restaurant, but there are also servers, hostesses, and waiting for twenty minutes without acknowledgment is bad business. Unfortunately, this was a sign of things to come. Our server was uninterested - that is the best word to describe her attention to us. She took her time getting us menus, taking our order (I think we waited another twenty minutes just for that). We had to ask three times for utensils; we had to ask twice for water; we had to ask for more drinks...the only time she seemed interested was when we were finished. Then, she was attentive to getting us the check. I love the sushi. The avocado bomb is a work of art. Their rolls are super fresh and the presentation is beautiful. And the space itself is impressive. It feels like you could be sitting in a lounge in NYC. But I will not eat at Sushi Bada again until they sufficiently staff their restaurant. read more

Back it again with my sidekick. Today we hit up Sushi Bada. Overall great place to get some great sushi. Presentation was perfect. The scenery was beautiful. The restaurant puts a modern twist on a layed back and relaxed design. There is a bar along with a sushi bar. And the few pieces of art hanging around the restaurant really ties it together. The food was so fresh. I highly recommend the avocado bomb with spicy tuna. So flavorful. Final statement: this place is amazing highly recommend it. Peace. read more

Very good sushi place. Sashimi re very fresh. We ordered the avocado bomb, dragon roll, bull fried rice which is amazing, and absolutely sashimi. Dragon roll is so so, but fried rice and sashimi are very tasting. For dessert, we ordered chocolate mousse and green tea cheesecake. We both like the chocolate mousse more. Overall, a great dining experience. Definitely will come again! read more

Overrated and overpriced. The reviews were so positive that I was so excited to try this place...but every single dish we ordered - from the edamame, to the sashimi and sushi rolls were so overly sweet! Cute restaurant, and I guess there aren't too many options around, but the prices are wannabe city prices. read more

Interesting... I posted a negative review only to have the owner reply saying I wan't telling the truth. I can assure all...I told the complete truth. They may be experts at fish but we had bad service. I would probably never have commented on Yelp just because of bad service. I've never reviewed any restaurant with only one star. BUT cleaning with a harsh chemical while we were still eating even when we asked them to hold off until we finished was unacceptable and unhealthy. Comment from David K. of Sushi Bada Business Owner 11/17/2018 We care about all of our customer at Sushibada and we appreciate our patron's feedback whether it is compliment or critical only when it is true. We at Sushibada are experts on fish and we are calling out Allison's review as really"fishy read more

Absolutely the WORST service in Suffern. The are always too busy to have pick up food ready. It's the ultimate in obnoxious!!! And the food at Nagoya is equally as good and service is excellent!! David... I have been picking up food from your establishment for years. It's constantly terrible. Perhaps you need to improve that piece of your restaurant. I will not be back! read more

Going to any other sushi restaurant I'm always comparing it to Sushi Bada. It's just the best quality, great textures to the rolls and delicious. Crispy rice is a MUST read more

Awesome place! One of my favorite local eateries that I frequent. The food is always on point, fresh and consistently good. The wait staff is fabulous and very attentive and they always remember you. The drinks are amazing and they have a drink mixologist at the bar making sure the drinks are mixed exactly the same way every time. Most places you go, you are lucky to have the drink taste somewhat the same. The drinks will taste the same every time and The food is also as consistent every time. I encourage you to try it out, I assure you it will not disappoint. read more

Sushi is delicious, best around, hands down. It only gets 3 stars for me though due to pick up chaos. The wait to pick up is always way too long, they often leave things out of the bag, and even gave us the wrong order. My husband had to drive back to get the correct order making our wait to eat even longer. We would order more if things were run better. read more

Great place for Sushi. A hidden gem. Great atmosphere, food, and experience. These guys truly enjoy their jobs and have fun doing it. Can't wait to go back. Please keep up the passion for delivering an enjoyable dining experience and fantastic Sushi. The best by far in the area and absolute must try. read more

NYC quality sushi in Rockland? Yes. I was apprehensive before I came in, but I was converted after sampling the toro tartar. The menu is beyond extensive, the staff courteous, and the chef brilliant. I told him I wanted to see what else he could do with toro, and what followed was exceptional...toro four ways, including my first sample of Spanish toro (which was my personal favorite). I cannot praise the food enough. read more
