Whatever you do, don't get the chirashi. It's the most disappointing sushi meal I have ever had. Like 5 pieces of badly cut fish and imitation crab stick cut into 2 unappetizing pieces... Also take a look at how they garnish their sushi - smh.

The course of the meal holds great value in comparison to its quality, portion, and variety. The food is exceptionally fresh, and the side dishes are delightful.

Some of the food wasn't fresh, so I ate it after eating it. Also, when taking my order, I spoke strangely in informal language.

It's delicious and friendly, but I'm not sure if it's good value for money. Personally, 3.5

My favorite local sushi spot. The service is great and the food is always fresh. It's also the most affordable sushi spot in the area!

Great korean style seafood place. Unique!

The reviews brought us here for dinner, and I was excited to try the food. The food was pretty good, but the service was lousy. It took 5 minutes to get a single sheet menu, which only showed a small part of the menu. Once the waitress returned, we got the full menus. It wasn't at all busy, but the service all through dinner was almost non-existent. I don't think we'll be coming back.

Stopped in here due to the many positive reviews and it didn't disappoint! The place looks so much bigger inside than it seems from the exterior as it's located in a mini strip mall. Our server was quick and attentive. The food was fresh. It was our first time trying a hand roll and I was impressed! Will definitely come back here in the future.
Was recommended to try this place by someone who lives nearby. On a Friday night it was not busy and our party of 11 were quickly seated. The. Maki platter was ok, nothing to write home about. I think platters from HMart would best this any day. The shrimp donkatsu was stellar. Shrimp was crunchy & light. It was a huge hit!

This is our second time at Bada Sushi. We literally drove 900 miles to eat here. My pops in law likes to eat here for his birthday dinner. For a large group it's a good idea to call ahead and reserve ahead. Our group already chose the set menu A. The kids ordered a bunch of rolls and don kat su dishes. It's a mom and pop operation and when you come here and order the set menu, plan on being here for at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours. You probably need all that time to be able to take in the gargantuan amount of food. It will take too much time to go over all the items that they serve for the set menu. I posted it so you can go over it yourself. I eat pretty much anything so a place like this isn't too much of a surprise but people that come here having only experienced Japanese style restaurants will be surprised. Some of the favorites of the set menu was the o deng guk, oysters (gigantic), sashimi, and the soup at the end. I wasn't so much the fan of any of the fried items. Also all the fried items were served towards the end of the meal when we were already stuffed. Pair it with a nice bottle of sake and you are in for a treat. Bada is a beast!

Bada Sushi is just bad. Places that are "meh" usually have prices that reflect that. Bada is charging the prices of high-quality sushi without coming close to measuring up. Go elsewhere.

The most amazing sushi restaurant in Chicago. Far better than nobu, Roka akor, and itoko in my opinion. I've never been to a Korean inspired sushi restaurant before. Prices are so friendly and although the set course prices may seem high THERE IS SO MUCH FOOD!!! Ban Chan/ side dishes were authentic and different from your typical Korean restaurant- all seafood focused and all delicious. So many courses in the set course- banchan, salad, sashimi, handroll, and soondubu at the very end. Clearly well known amongst Korean locals and definitely a spot to try if you're looking for delicious and fresh fish! Ambiance is okay but the food makes the experience feel amazing
