Bada Story, Fort Lee

Came here because the place next door was packed and decided to give BadaStory a try.We ordered the two-person set.The sashimi was decent and fresh but nothing memorable.There was a live seafood sashimi platter with items like abalone and oysters.The texture was crunchy but the flavor was quite mild and lacked sweetness so I would not recommend that part.The set comes with a lot of small dishes and the portion is large but overall it felt more like a collection of casual side snacks rather than standout dishes.We were asked whether to have the soup served or packed to go and chose to take it home.Surprisingly the kimchi soup we reheated the next day ended up being the most satisfying item of the whole meal.Warm comforting and well balanced.That was the highlight for us.

The sashimi was fresh 🐟 :) I was deciding between assorted sashimi and live fish sashimi, and I kind of regret choosing the live fish. The salmon seemed a little fishy 🥲 Overall, the side dishes were tasty, and the staff were friendly 😊 I took the spicy fish stew home :)

We love that we can just order a set menu so we don’t have to think of what to order. It comes with lots of food that fits both kids and adults. Little kids can eat the fish tempura, cheese corn, steam eggs, pancake while adults can enjoy the boat of sashimi, spicy seafood stew that comes with white rice, fried whole fresh fish, tempura hand roll, soup, squid. We are 2 families (3 kids and 5 adults) and we basically can order a 3-4 person set meal and order 3 extra sushi rolls. Note that if you pay with credit card you need to pay tax and need to charge several % fees together with gratitudes, but if you pay with cash, you don’t have to pay tax.

Had an amazing experience The food was incredibly fresh and delicious definitely one of the best Korean seafood spots I’ve been to. Highly recommend!

Delicious food at this restaurant, especially high quality of fish. We liked the sushi, but the grilled fish was the star. Lunch sets were a great value, dinner is much more expensive.

I love this place even more than Bada Story at Englewood Cliffs. The manager is super friendly, and the food is always excellent! Although it’s a bit pricey, it’s definitely worth the time we spent there. Live octopus was definitely the start of the night!

Tried Bada Story in Fort Lee for Korean-style sashimi, and overall it was a great experience. The raw fish was fresh, well-prepared, and the variety of banchan made it feel like a proper Korean sashimi meal. That said, the vegetables, especially the greens and wraps, were noticeably dry and felt a bit past their prime, which took away from the otherwise well-executed dishes. Hopefully just an off day, because everything else was solid. Would still recommend for the sashimi and overall quality, but a little more attention to the freshness of the veggies would make a big difference.

Legit Korean raw fish sashimi (Hoe)!! Really fresh quality and good service.

My brother and I first came here for our birthday because we had seen Hometown Cha-cha-cha and wanted Korean seafood like they had on that show and the first time we ate here was so special. We loved it. This meal sparked so much joy and was such a lovely treat. The portion sizes are generous and can easily feed at least 1-2 more people than the menu suggests. The staff is really attentive but doesn't hover. We came back a second time with our parents and it was still good, but not the same magic as the first time. Still a delicious seafood meal with sooooo many things - just get the meal set and let it keep coming out. A delightful place to have in driving distance.

Absolutely 5 stars. Portion was generous. Quality and freshness of food are hit the spot. If you wanna experience Korean style Sashimi feast then this is the spot you have to check out. Great and friendly service. Normal Korean ambiance music and lots of laugh and cheers. Love to go back check pout more menu.

I am from California and came to visit my boyfriend (Korean) in NJ. We wanted to get a nice dinner one of the nights I stayed and his Korean friend recommended Bada Story. The friend spoke of this place highly.. We had reservations and upon entering the door, we were met with such a loud atmosphere. It seemed like a moderately busy night and there was one big party but all other parties were reasonably sized, being roughly 4 people. We were seated and had already decided to select a pre-set course recommended for 2-3 people. When the server came and tried to speak to us it was too loud and we couldn't hear anything he was saying. And he didn't really seem to slow down or speak louder after being told we couldn't hear him. When the dishes came out it seemed like an excessive amount of food. We knew that it would be a large quantity of food, but when all the initial dishes came out (prior to the sashimi platter) it just seemed like all the dishes were not carefully crafted together for a good quality dinner. These dishes were average, but we convinced ourselves to like it and hoped that the sashimi would be a good next part of the course. When the sashimi platter came out, it looked beautiful. BUT everything was disgustingly chewy.. i even had to split one of it out because, the taste was disgustingly fishy and the texture became bouncy and too chewy to even break apart. The waiter didn't bother to tell us which cuts were what fish and was always so quick to leave after dropping off the food. The only decent tasting sashimi pieces were the salmon and the otoro tuna (we are assuming). Even then there was still a slight chew to both.. Honestly we were both so disappointed and would not recommend this place to anyone. Even if it was one unlucky night, that singular experience should've not been that bad.

For all traditional sashimi lovers! The assorted sashimi plate for 2 was SO worth it and honestly could have fed 3. The assorted sashimi came with different cuts of tuna, red snapper, fluke, salmon, yellowtails, and abalone. Everything was very fresh quality. And the sea squirt, sea cucumber, sea pineapple were so tasty. Oysters were fresh as well, impressively large. For the side dishes that come out, there is a nice Japanese seafood pancake, on top there is two types of sauce, it would be nice if you could've asked for sauce on the side but we didn't realize beforehand. The spicy soup at the end came with a whole baby octopus, fish, 3 mussels and a clam! Some other side dish stars included the Chilean sea bass, which was so tender and fried to perfection. The oyster rings were also simple but delicious with lemon, garlic, and butter. The mussel clear soup was so fresh as well. Server was extremely knowledgeable about the fish in both Korean and English! He explained everything to us in both languages, and multiple times if we forgot. Restaurant is in a neighborhood with free parking, and it's a little bit outside of the city, which is nice.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants to dine at every time I came home for the holidays. However, the prices have gotten outrageously expensive. The "lunch specials" start at $20 for a bowl of udon and $30+ for 8-12 pieces of sashimi or two sushi rolls. Granted, the order comes with tempura and roe rice (see pictures) but you can find similar quality fish for cheaper. Food comes out quickly and the staff is friendly. If you pay with cash, they will give you a 10% discount off the entire bill.

Two Latinas walked into a Korean sushi place in Jersey to find it they were the only non Koreans in the house. Clean interior, busy staff, good food. I saw it on Instagram and 'had' to check it out while in NY because a. it looked amazing and b. they fly in their fish from Busan. I never had a pineapple fish before, and it was not to my taste, but it was interesting. The corn and (hard and chewy) abalone were meh, the pancake delish, the mussel soup made with the best stock, the fried fish and grilled calamari were exceptional. To be honest, we were starting to get full here, but then the sashimi came out. Some of it was hard as a rock (why?), some of it was delicious and some of it was ok. Next onto the really yum spicy hand rolls, and finally the spicy casserole/soup. It was amazing, but it was too much food at that point, and we took it to go. Would I go back? No, because I have to fly to NY, take a long hour bus ride from Penn station and there are too many other places to check out. But if I lived in the area, I would go back to check out their other dishes which smelled and looked good.

The food was delicious and great but the service was extremely lackluster. There was such a long wait between courses and dishes, it really affected the flow of our meal. It was also so hard to get a drink or the bill too. The boat sashimi was delicious and although marketed as 3-4 people, definitely could feed 4-5! Fish was all very fish and the sides were a great variety.

What a surprise inside! As the adage goes, don't judge a book by its cover!! What awaits you inside? Fresh seafood prepared with care, tasty food, friendly service and safety (partitioned dining experience + hand sanitizer at every table). Review my pics for food details. I would like to try other dishes next time!

service was one of the best- super helpful and informative explaining the dishes and good with timing each round of the dishes they brought out. we went as a group of 11 and sat 5 and 6. the roll combo came with a lot of sides like udon, vegetable tempura, octopus salad, and a fish roll. some of the fish were way too fishy / gamey but the salad was super fresh and the seafood stew hit the spot with the right amount of spice. everyone ate really well and they also gave a lot of uni which people highlighted multiple times throughout the meal. as a non sashimi lover, i thought it was a pretty good deal!

Enjoy the lunch special @ Bada Story. Visited the Fort Lee Abbott St. one instead of the one in Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, which we had visited a week ago. Been a while since the last visit before the beginning of the COVID of April 2020. All the lunch specials come with : 1) Udon - A bit disappointed since the soup was very lukewarm. 2) Tempura (assorted fries) - Shrimp, string bean, sweet pumpkin, sweet potato - Very crispy crunchy !!!! 3) Octopus salad - Just ok. 4) 2 small pieces of sushi - Very tasty ^^ And then, your selection of whether (in our case) assorted sashimi, live sashimi, or grilled (hamachi). Grilled fish was of quite a portion, served on a cast iron pan, a bit of teriyaki sauce (though not evenly pasted), not salted, so I could enjoy it with the soy sauce. Sashimi was very fresh too !!!!!!!! As big as the number of sides coming along, the lunch special is also quite expensive. 1) Sashimi special ($27.99) 2) Grilled special ($24.99)

The seafood was fresh and yummy. Multiple different types of fish with differing textures. Many side dishes to accompany your main order throughout the meal. Service was...as expected for a Korean restaurant. Although for lunch, it's hard to eat here often due to the price.

This place is fantastic. We ordered the set menu and it was a non stop PARADE of food before the main sashimi presentation. We were all blown away at the quality of the food. The sashimi presentation was top notch. Hat tip to the sushi chef. Everything was delicious and this is coming from a red meat lover. The service was great. The selection of drinks were plentiful. This place is a hidden gem in a side street strip mall. I don't leave too many reviews, but this place definitely deserves one. 5 stars!!!

Meant to go to Obaltan, but walked into Bada Story by accident and decided to stay. We got the omakase special for 2. It was a lot of food. This was the first time we had Korean style sashimi. It was interesting to try but we definitely prefer Japanese style sushi/sashimi more now that we have tried it. The appetizer platter of raw seafood (abalone, sea cucumber, etc.) was actually a little hard to get used to the texture, so we briefly 'cooked' it in the mussel soup. The grilled fish, fried fish, corn cheese, egg stew were good. Sashimi tasted very fresh. There was a spicy casserole at the end which we opted to take home as it was too much food. Definitely could've fed 3 people and maybe even 4. I think if we ever were to come back, we would try the lunch menu so we don't have to get a set menu option.

Service was good Presentation was beautiful Food was good but ended up getting food poisoning. My friend and I both got really really sick. Everything looked nice and there was more than enough food for two people. We had so much leftover and we took the leftovers but ended up throwing it away cus of how sick we were. We didn't even get the stew while we were eating so we had to take that to go too but it all went in the trash. It's unfortunate that we got sick. It really does not make me feel comfortable going back. I have gone before and tried other fish and steak and the steak is not good. I would go for fresh fish but after getting sick idk Parking: meter parking and I think it's free after a certain time

I have visited Bada Story every time I'm in the area and have always had positive experiences here. The set menus are perfect for any group and comes with a huge variety of side dishes, entrees, sushi/sashimi, and stews for the table. The service is also fast and the servers are friendly. All the seafood tastes very fresh and there is a large variety of seafood options (both raw and cooked) that will satisfy any seafood lover. Highly recommended and will come again!

Fresh seafood, fresh fish. None of that frozen stuff. Much better than that BBQ joint next door. You can tell from how they cook their steamed egg. That dish alone can tell you if they can cook or not. Not gonna lie. I ordered their fish hot pot non spicy. It was really fresh. That wasn't expensive at all. Two whole fish for $37. You can totally have it solo and just take home the leftovers. I've only been to Fort Lee a couple of times and this is the best I've been to. 5 stars. I was roaming around looking for food and this was the best I found. You know you're in NJ's Ktown when all the servers speak Korean. I had a hard time understanding my server.

Love this place since my family loves seafood. This place is the most authentic korean seafood restaurant in New Jersey. We visit here often on special days ( a bit pricy ) and never gets disappointed. Staffs are chill and professional. Try to book ahead esp on weekends because tables go out fast. Definitely coming back sometime soon!

Highly recommend this place for lunch! They have really good options of lunch special sets ranging from $24.99 -$27.99, and the amount of food and the quality of food in the set will wow you! The service is always friendly and very prompt, you can also tell the restaurant takes covid precautions very seriously.

I'm beyond disappointed even on my first step into the restaurant. First I was told I have to choose a menu before my name is put on the wait list. Also I was informed the menu is not cheap (okay,Thank you?) Second, the menu looks great, our appetites are small so we choose 2 ppl menu for 3 ppl. This waiter rolled his eyes on me (okay?) Third, he asked for my name. I spelled it because he kept asking me . He rolled his eyes again and said just say your full name. Okay? I couldn't even get angry because I'm hungry and I don't want to be a ugly woman. This waiter is super nasty. If you are reading it. I mean it. Every customer should get respected in anyways. You don't discriminate customers by their face, race, or the language they speak or whatsoever. You don't want to work, just quit. No one is paying for your attitude. I really wanted to try the food but what you treated me making me Why do I have to give a star before I post a review! It's not even worth for a star!!!!!

Do not worry abt over ordering here cuz u will get your fill of food and more... They were super nice and let us order a set for two even tho we were three ppl and were stuffed! I used to not like coming here w my parents when i was a kid cuz i hated raw fish but i have since matured a bit haha. Back then id always eat up all the banchan and the spicy tuna rolls and both are still pretty good like i remember. I have to say tho -- the fish is good quality but overall i dont think the meal is 100% worth the high cost-- u get a lot of food but at times it feels a littleee quantity over quality esp w the banchans, some of them r cold or just not treated super well and then ur just left w extra. Koreans (including myself) do love getting a variety of different food options at one meal tho and u rlly wont find a lot of places like this in the states-- The meuntang at the end also hitsssss.

Really cant understand the price point for the food provided. I felt like I ate a lot of nothing other than the main seafood dish. The seafood tasted very fresh and was the star of the meal but most of the food is a bunch of small side dishes to make it feel like you ate a lot. Also they never gave us our hand roll which is a huge disappointment especially for a meal thats almost $200. Overall lacked excitement and left me regretful.

Seafood is really fresh. All staff were so fast and kind 활어회세트2인분 구성 메뉴 알차고 신선하고 모두 맛있었어요. 한국에서 먹었던 횟집 생각났어요!! 감사합니다.

I always love this place because the food is delicious! And so fresh !! And portion is so big !! This is a meal for two but it can feed for 3-4 people ! Will come back again !! Always recommend to my friends as well !

Is too much food a bad thing? We were a family of 8 and we ordered for takeout the deal for 6-8. We had SO MUCH LEFTOVER. I love that spicy stew at the end and it was super easy to make at home using their kit/instructions. Eating IN the restaurant is a different experience since you get the hand rolls and the food is delivered in "courses". I recommend both takeout and dine in but be really hungry or order conservatively if you don't want a lot leftover.

This restaurant by far has the freshest sashimi I have ever had in my life! The salmon and tuna were extremely soft and I couldn't stop eating. We ordered multiple courses of food, and I loved the fried fish and corn cheese starters. Towards the end, we also had fish stew to cleanse our palettes. I will definitely be coming back here for a special occasion.

Went there for weekend lunch. Food was soso, portion small as expected. Hiwever the worst part is service. Server mase mistakes and now apologies. No greets, no eye contact. Never coming again. There are better options it there

While not everyone's cup of tea, this place was awesome for us. A seafood lovers paradise. Ordered the omakase set for two. Multiple courses, all seafood themed and expertly prepared. The sashimi platter came, all were just delicious. Some of the best toro tuna, salmon, uni and yellowtail that I've had in a long long time. Definitely different than Japanese omakase, but I really like the Korean version. Enough food for at least 3, but we didn't complain. Great deal for 139. Not an everyday meal, save it for a special meal for a special moment.

Food used to be better but I guess because it's COVID it's been a bit rough. The sashimi wasn't as fresh and the broth that comes at the end of the meal was pretty water down. Go at your discretion during this time because 3/4 people got food poisoning when we went. But overall, the service of the staff and numerous side dishes that come, and the overall presentation of the dishes are great.

If you're coming here, be prepared to have an unshakable and bottomless appetite cuz when the food starts hitting the table, it's like playing tetris to find space to squeeze in the dishes cuz it will be a lot of food. It's very similar to another restaurant in Boston called Oppa Sushi. I will have to say that our waiter was very kind and made our dining experience pleasant. We ordered the Boat Sashimi special which serves 3-4 people but really feeds twice as many. Salads, sides, soups and grilled dishes come out first in rapid succession so you'll have to prioritize which dish to try to avoid any cooling down too fast. By far, the best were the fried fish, grilled black cod, the soup and the more tender abalone (we got two versions - one tender, the other like chewing through harder cartilage). When the sashimi boat arrived, it was definitely a newer presentation to us with the lobster at the fore of the boat and dry ice to keep the sashimi cold but the placement of the dry ice dish could have better as the liquid could teeter and land on the fish. The best sashimi were the lobster, scallop, salmon and the European sea bass. While we knew there would be different kinds of sea bass (instead of the nine as advertised in the menu), they gave us only three kinds and twice the amount of each of these which ultimately had very similar texture and taste. For one of them, I had to remove a long bone (about two inches which spanned the width of the piece) twice from two pieces I had in my mouth and pointed this out to the waiter, who understood and apologized. He brought over a few pieces of chutoro which was nice gesture of the chefs but it was frozen, so we needed let it thaw for a while before eating it. A restaurant serving sushi and sashimi should not have these mistakes since they should be inspected before serving. Bones in sashimi and frozen sashimi. Unacceptable. To round out our meal, we were served a seafood stew with lobster, crab, mussels, clams, tofu and vegetables. The broth was rich but clean and mildly spicy but still flavorful. At this point, we were already full but did find some space to enjoy it. From our dining experience here, the cooked food is really good but if you're calling your restaurant a sushi and sashimi restaurant as well, then you definitely need to live up to the standards of quality of serving the fish to have customers return. Don't think we can say the same for us.

Always fresh, great value for the price. Definitely a must-try in Fort Lee. Definitely so much food though so make sure you come HUNGRY.

High quality sashimi for a decent price. These dinner sets contain a wide variety of side dishes, fish, and vegetables. The restaurant also had a welcoming atmosphere.

Definitely come HUNGRY. You will definitely have a feast at Bada Story, which is kind of in its own category as a restaurant. You order a set for a certain number of people and it comes with a lot of different included dishes and sashimi. It's kind of a place you go when you have some kind of occasion or large gathering of people. You should certainly make a reservation here! It's always busy especially weekend nights, and I saw many people walk away disappointed. The service is excellent, and the food comes out at a moderate pace as well. The seafood is all very fresh. We had the flounder set for four people. I enjoyed trying all of the different dishes, even though I didn't love all of them. Most of them were solid though. They also serve you jigae at the end which you can also take to-go if you can't finish.

Bada Story is a solid choice when you're feeling Korean style sushi (yes there is a difference, and when it comes to fresh sashimi I may arguably prefer Korean style more than Japanese style). You can dine on individual entrees, but why when you can go the chefs choice omakase set route? I feel like every time I get the set the choices presented are the same every time (although the menu presents it differently) but the sashimi they give you is fresh and tender... there are times though that minor dishes like the abalone have been clearly sitting in their fridge for a few days (you can tell by the hard rubbery texture), but the most important parts of the meal are always fresh. You also get a lot of food, so while the prices are steep, you get a ton to eat from the slew of appetizers, seafood side dishes, to the main dish, and the stew at the end. But, more importantly than their dinner selection is their lunch specials! Between a $19-$25 price range, you can get a tasting of their dinner menu for lunch at a steal! Given it isn't the exact same selection, nor is it as much food, for the price they charge you, you get a great value and a good amount of food as well! They don't take reservations, but every time I've come, I could tell that the host has always feels bad that they weren't able to accomodate our group of two quickly so they always recommend that we call ahead and get our name on the waitlist (minimum 30 minutes). My only complaint about Bada Story is that the servers always make you feel rushed to finish the dishes quickly... many a time have I been there eating and enjoying my meal with friends when a server comes to indicate they want us to eat more quickly so they can bring us the next dish. Take that away, and it's a great experience!

This place quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in the area after our first meal here. If you're into fresh seafood, you're going to absolutely love this place. Let me preface by saying the price tag here may seem rather steep when you look at the menu. However, I can say it's 100% worth every penny you pay given the quality of the food and portions that you get. Every time I visit this place I made it a habit of ordering the tuna set. I'm a glutton for good tuna so I always find myself ordering that whenever I visit. The star of the show is (duh) the tuna, which they serve a mix of maguro and toro slices on a giant plate. Even though it's advertised as a set for two, there is no doubt in my mind that this can easily serve three (or even four) people with a decent appetite. That's because before they serve the main event .. you get a lot of dishes such as a tasty octopus salad, two selections that you pick ranging from abalone to sea cumbers to sea squirts to oysters. That's not to mention you get stuff like a giant corn and cheese dish, some clam soup and also some egg custard, along with some other side dish (we got tempura on the house) along with shumai with edamame. All this comes before the giant sashimi plate shows up. By the way, after all that you also get some hand roll (super tasty!) and a giant pot of soup + noodles to finish up the meal. If that sounds like a lot .. well it is. So in the case of the tuna set ... the $129 price tag isn't nearly as crazy as it seems, and trust me it's definitely worth it just for the awesomely fresh tuna that they serve there. Don't just take my word for it. This place can get super packed and you'll want to (and most likely, need to) make reservations especially during peak hours.

This location is better than the Englewood Cliffs and I went in a weekday but it was still packed. The food quality is not as good as it use to be and they give a lot less sides than they use to. The price went up and the quality went down. Boo hoo

The food here is so good. The live octopus is really good too. There was way too much food. The only thing I don't like is the sea squirt.

Take out package is good, the staff help me take care order to my car. Three stars for him. Not happy with sashimi plat. Every items have 3 pieces, except tuna which have 1.5 pieces. It seems like use the Leftovers to make up the number. I ordered omakase kits for 2 Person, but only one of each in the tempuras. In my opinion, it should has two pieces of each to share.

Bada story really is my happy place. Although, I had an unfortunate experience previously, I decided to return after their staff reached out to me. I returned for a delicious seafood dinner, for a party of 8 on a Sunday night. Highly recommend you to make reservations because we had a table waiting for us so that meant 0 wait time. Oh yesss. We decided to order two sashimi boat sets for 8 people;definitely ordered more than enough good. I would say 5 people per boat set is good. As usual, they kept giving us more and more food including, but not limited to: octopus salad, sea squirt, corn cheese, fried fish cutlet, fresh oysters (oh I liked this a lot), steamed octopus with edamame and so much more. I've said this before and I'll say it again: you are the KING here. They will feed you like it's your last supper and you will need to wear stretchy pants or to take off your belts because YUM. To top it all off, they take your leftover lobster parts to create hearty, spicy stew (although you can request a non-spicy version if you want to be a weakling). Bad experiences aside, I am so happy that I decided to return to this establishment. Their customer service is amazing;the workers checked up on our tables as needed and they were all very nice and easy to talk to. I even waited 3 days to make this review to make sure I won't get sick like I did previously and my body is a happy bean. So bring your wallets and your stomachs because you're about to come in for an experience of a lifetime.

A great spot for some fresh sushi and sashmi! I was a bit confused though when they were rushing us to order because the kitchen was closed by 2? They had to get our orders at the door before we were even seated. I saw a few customers walk in after we were seated... Anyhow, our meal made up for it and portions were surprisingly large!

Why do you hide your price online?? I feel so scared to order not knowing the price. It is very uncomfortable to ask prices over the phone. :(

Great value sushi and Korean food for the amount that you get! Soup and fried vegetables/shrimp were amazing with the sauce, especially the okra & shrimp! Honestly you could prob make a light meal out of just this. Next up was the sushi.. several varieties of rolls that we got ranging from white fish, salmon & eel. All of the rolls turned out exceptional! Remember that if paying by cash there might be a slight discount!

My friends and I were craving for Korean food so we yelped for restaurant and we saw this place with good reviews. We decided to come here for dinner. It was around 8pm and the place was packed. We asked for a table for three people and the host stated that we must look at the menu first because the food was not cheap (I can't believe he said that) that we need to make sure that we decide what we want before putting our name on the list for the table. I don't live in NJ. I live in NYC for over a decade and never been asked to look at the menu first before to be seated. This type of behavior is really rude and it's not the right way to operate a business and to treat customers. My friends and I were hungry already so we looked at the menu and informed the host of our choice on the menu. Then, he asked my friend for her name to put us on the list. My friend provided her name but it seems that the host didn't get it, so my friend spelled her name and the host was rude and said " just say your full name and your phone number" (the way that he said it was really rude) and he rolled his eyes. We waited for 1 minutes and saw the host treated the next customer the same way, the customer got upset and said "he is an a&%" and she ran out. After few minutes, my friends and I decided to go to another restaurant. We really wanted to try the food here but we can't eat in a restaurant with horrible service. This place deserves zero star.

I recently came here with my family during memorial day weekend from Philadelphia and let me tell you OMG it was awesome. A couple of my friends came here in the past and they mentioned the the portion sizes here were massive and I was abit sceptical but they were not wrong. My family of 5(all adults) ordered the set menu that could feed like 6-8 people and let me tell you I never been so full in my life(I can eat,trust me)!!! You get 2 plates of everything from my pictures. The food was so fresh and the employees were all super nice. In total it was around a little over $100 per person for 5 people (meal that feed 6-8 people), but it was worth every penny. If you love sushi, Sashimi and seafood go check them out.

The food is not bad and their service doesn't deserve these bad reviews.How ever the ambience of the restaurant/restroom needs to be updated!I understand its an old building but its really NASTY!! I see all the reviews about food poisoning,but its probably from their sink faucets...Especially for a sushi rest,its pretty BAD!!I should've snapped few photos. If the restrooms are that bad,I dont even want to see their kitchen area.. I would update if it was my petsroom! Never ever want to visit Bada again!!

Went for Daily Lunch Special Food - 5/5. Udon noodles had good bite with a nice broth. Tempura was crispy and well seasoned. The octopus salad had a refreshing gochujang dressing that had a little bit of zing. Flounder sushi was fresh with good texture. Service - 4/5. Service was quick and attentive. There is a button to call for service like in many Korean themed restaurants. At the end of the meal, they bring fruits with your receipt! Points! Value - 5/5. The seafood is fresh and delicious. They give you a huge variety of different dishes to try for $20 and the lunch special is everyday. Great place for Korean sushi! Parking - Mall Lot/Street (Metered)

My favorite Korean styled sushi place in NJ! I love their tuna special. Great quality and different types of dishes. They also have lunch specials for more affordable choices as well.

The food is good and the meal is big and this is now my favorite Korean Japanese cusiden!!The service is quick and fast there the people who work there are also kind!

This location had been closed for Covid but recently reopened. So we came and checked this place out. They do temperature check and let us do the COVID form. All the foods were fresh and delicious but somehow the service wasn't it was used to be. They kept coming to us and "suggesting" to order the bigger portion when we didn't want to. I remember I used to have great time with the staffs but not anymore.

This place is my favorite place. Dodari is soo fresh and has great texture. We always order raw fish hansang charim with soju and then add more extra plate. Their side dishes is very affective for us and seafood stew is so amazing for soju. We will def be coming back soon!
