As you enter Baba Sushi, you immediately see a small space. The sushi bar in the front room dominates the area. A few small tables surround it, but it is quite a tight space.

Going to the back room, you drop down a few steps and enter a very different atmosphere. Predominately natural wood, skylights, and windows are everywhere. You feel like you are dining outside even though four walls surround you. Personally I would request the back room when being seated.

We ordered the deep fried gyoza to start our meal. This delicious appetizer was nicely fried with a crispy exterior texture and creamy minced pork filling.

Then, I ordered three Maki rolls.

The Rock’n’roll Maki—spicy tuna and eel sauce covered the shrimp tempura and cucumber in a nori wrap—was fantastic. I would order this roll again.

The Alaskan—smoked salmon, cucumber, and avocado—was a very enjoyable maki roll too. My final roll was a tuna and avocado roll. All my sushi was excellent. The presentation detail was beautiful too.

Our server, Brad, was excellent. He was attentive, courteous and knowledgeable.

I would recommend Baba Sushi to my friends and family. I look forward to sampling more of their offerings in the future.

Baba Sushi is a fun place to go. The atmosphere is bright, cheerful, friendly, clean, open, inviting and casual yet elegant… what more can I say? Go and experience it for yourself—you won’t regret it.

It’s been at least two years since I’ve been to Baba Sushi on Park Ave. but Wilson, the owner, recognized me immediately and greeted me with a big smile— fantastic!

Not sure why I have been away for so long because I always enjoy the lively atmosphere and the delicious food.

Our server, Brad, was friendly, polite, and charismatic. He was there when needed and perfectly absent when not. The orders all came out correct—not one mistake. He gets an A-plus from me.

I ordered three types of sashimi—salmon, tuna, and smoked salmon. The portions were more than I expected—four large slices of each. The presentation was gorgeous and tempting… begging me to dive in.

Brad was prompt and efficient when bringing out our food. Before long I had a beautiful plate full of colorfully displayed tender morsels of tuna, salmon, and smoked salmon sitting in front of me.

The plate looked so appetizing I couldn’t resist the temptation to dig in.

My chopsticks seemed to have a mind of their own. I watched as they began mixing chunks of wasabi with the soy sauce. Then a succulent chunk of salmon was plucked from the plate, dipped, and in my mouth before I knew what was going on. I don’t remember talking to anyone—all I remember is pure deliciousness filling my mouth … and then it was over.

Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Everything about Baba Sushi is top notch. So know this: I won’t let another two years slip by before going back for more!
