    This is my 2nd trip to Sushi Bada and will not be my last. My highlights were the crispy rice, spicy yellowtail and the salmon avocado hand roll. The tuna mango salad was unique with added apple! My hope is that some items can be made with gluten free soy. The cocktails are so amazing too. No need to travel to Nobu, Masa or Tao we have our own gem now on this side of the GWB!

    Our Waitress Jessica was fantastic. She was attentive and had a positive energy. The food for the most part was great. Our pizza was raw unfortunately. Our only real complaint was that the serving wear did not seem clean. One fork was dirty and then the pizza server, had a crusted on piece of lettuce underneath which was extremely unpleasant and made everyone at the table not eat anymore. If the cleanliness would get fixed, we would definitely come back.
