I have to admit, I was never a fan of sushi actually, I had never even tried it until a friend invited me to Sushi Badaya in Highland Park. Little did I know, this visit would completely change my perspective on sushi and food in general.
The quality of the sushi here is beyond extraordinary. I tried eel for the very first time, and to my surprise, it was absolutely incredible! The variety of sushi they offer is unmatched, and every single piece is crafted with care and precision. The chef even prepared a special king crab roll for me, which was so unforgettable it has me planning my next visit already.
The freshness of the fish is something I’ve never experienced before it’s on a whole other level. The restaurant itself is impeccably clean and sanitary, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the servers are some of the most attentive and friendly I’ve ever encountered.
Sushi Badaya turned me, someone who had spent a lifetime avoiding sushi, into a huge fan in just one visit. This place is nothing short of amazing, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you’re a sushi enthusiast or even a skeptic like I was, this is the spot to visit. Thank you, Sushi Badaya, for opening my eyes to a whole new world of incredible flavors!
Whether you’re a sushi lover or just trying it out for the first time, I highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to come back!
If you’re looking for incredible sushi and a great dining experience, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!
Throughout the course, the quality and freshness of the fish were outstanding, with a clear sense of precision in aging, temperature, and balance with the rice.
The true standouts were the **tuna collar (kamatoro) and fatty tuna (otoro)**.
The kamatoro delivered a deep, savory richness with a beautifully structured texture, while the otoro melted effortlessly, its refined fat spreading gently across the palate without overwhelming it.
Both pieces showcased confidence in restraint, allowing the quality of the tuna itself to speak.
The **uni** was equally memorable—clean, sweet, and luxuriously creamy, with none of the bitterness or off-notes that often diminish lesser offerings.
It left a lasting impression as both a highlight and a graceful finish.
Overall, this sushi bar exemplifies **top-tier ingredients, thoughtful execution, and polished hospitality**.
For those who truly appreciate sushi as a form of fine dining, this is an experience well worth seeking out.
Beautiful decor, amazing vibes and authentic flavors, this is the place to enjoy excellent sushi!!
I travel almost 2hrs just to come here and eat!!
They have indoor and outdoor dining.
Can’t go wrong with anything you order.
My favorite, must try appetizer: Taco Tokyo ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS
Hospitality superb!
Presentation superb!
Chef Moon, his wife, and Brittany were amazing! Each dish was fantastic. Our friends that we brought with us said it’s the best sushi they have ever had. We happily drive 1 hour from Plainfield because chef moon is the best !
