After so many visits this place still continues to be the best for sushi. Great food, great attentive service staff and ambiance. Can't fault the place for anything during several visits over the years! read more

Baba Sushi - Peacock roll - Japanese Near Me - Sturbridge, Massachusetts

I went on a double date here last Friday and this place was great. They have ample seating - including an upstairs area. They have sushi and hot pot items. I ordered 3 sushi rolls, and their crab rangoons. Everything was delicious. We would all definitely come back and try more items. Please keep in mind that their parking is limited, but they do offer a complimentary valet service. read more

Baba Sushi - a variety of sushi on a white plate - Japanese Near Me - Sturbridge, Massachusetts

This place is lovely, so happy we stumbled upon it during our short stay in Sturbridge!! At first glance, it seems small and expensive (they usually have valet) but inside seems much bigger, and the food is very high quality for being in the middle of nowhere. It seems like the farm-to-table of sushi restaurants!! We tried a lot from the menu, and everything was incredible. The menu was a little difficult to navigate, which took some time ordering. And the most notable issue we faced was that the spicy salmon roll that came with the pretty expensive sushi dinner was not the same as my ala carte maki roll I ordered on a whim (mine was better) just to note. Overall, we would add this to our regular rotation if we came back annually! It did end up being a very pricey bill to serve both people, but I think its well deserved. read more

The food was so good! Service was a little slow, we weren't able to get refills on waters for a while, but the food was just so good! The drinks were also quite good! The gluten free options were slightly limited (a lot of their specialty rolls had tempura in them), but they had gluten free soy sauce! The sensory experience was great, it wasn't too loud and the tables weren't too close together, and there were plenty of options for simple possible safe foods, so I would say it is autistic approved! read more

Baba Sushi - two pieces of sushi on a white plate - Japanese Near Me - Sturbridge, Massachusetts

Our party of four (plus an eight-month-old) were getting very hungry as we finished walking around Sturbridge Village. We hoped to dine outside on this beautiful day, and after Yelping the options in Sturbridge, we selected Baba Sushi (there is also a Baba Sushi in Worcester, which is pronounced "Woostah" if you're indigenous to the area!). It was quiet at Baba, as we arrived too late for lunch and too early for dinner, so we scored a great table on their beautiful porch. Though the porch does face Route 20, we didn't find the noise to be problematic. For our appetizers we ordered Gyoza (very good, but not very hot), Vegetable Tempura (very tasty) and Edamame which was also good. We also tried the Kani Salad and the Sashimi Tartare. Both were very good, and the tartare was an impressively large portion of salmon and tuna sushi with avocado and mango. It supposedly included caviar, but I failed to see any in the dish. And we sampled the Salmon Sashimi, a Peacock Maki Roll and Sushi Sandwich Roll. The Salmon Sashimi was very good, and though I was not a fan of the Peacock Roll, another diner greatly enjoyed it. The Sushi Sandwich Roll was good, but not outstanding. The Tryaki Chicken was tender and tasty and the Fried Rice was light and nicely prepared. All the diners (except the eight-month-old who was more interested in dropping things on the floor than participating in a Yelp review discussion) thought Baba deserved four-stars for this visit. Service was excellent throughout the dinner, and we'd be happy to revisit Baba Sushi. read more

I have come to this restaurant many times before and was extremely happy. Today when I came to celebrate my son's birthday, I cannot say the same. The chefs using electric zappers in the kitchen to kill flies constantly and the unpleasant swarms of fruit flies in the dining room was atrocious. The only thing that was good was our waitress and her herself was mortified. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant after today's experience. Unfortunately this restaurant has just gone down hill and I will continue to take my family to kaizen. All I can say is get rid of the electric zappers in the kitchen and get rid of the fruit flies in the dining room. No one wants to eat in that kind of atmosphere. Your patrons deserve better read more

I've been to this location, twice. The parking is valet, and they ask for cash tips or venmo. The walk in front of the building is beautiful. Positives- I've only been here for Hot Pot, Sushi, and Appetizers. The Vegetable Platter in the Party of 2 is a huge portion for two people, the sushi is wonderful, It is easy to customize your options, and the staff is very nice. Negatives- It's expensive, and I don't think the desserts are worth the cost. The smaller tables are not enough room for all of the toppings, vegetables and meats (server had to bring us a tray to use beside our table). It took about 45 minutes for us to even receive any part of our order both times and it was not that busy. read more

Just simply awesome. Food is great served as you'd expect and the service is top-class. Every item on the menu is done well. We've been dining here over a couple of years and have never been let down every time we've been. The food has always been fresh and tastes great. The decor is awesome and the bathrooms are clean and modern something that might do nothing to the food, it's taste or presentation, but it matters because it shows the owners care for their customers. read more

Great drinks great sushi with crazy combinations of flavors, great ambiance great wait staff! Thank you for everything!!!!! Highly recommend the sushi!!!!! read more

Baba Sushi - Godzilla Roll Peacock Maki Roll - Japanese Near Me - Sturbridge, Massachusetts

Great experience! Quiet (given we were dining in at noon on a Saturday). Jeremy made my first experience at Hot Pot enjoyable and fun.

This has been our special occasion place even before the Sturbridge location existed. Actually the place where my boyfriend and I had our first real date 3 years ago... It's so incredibly good every single time. The surf and turf roll and sushi spring rolls are heavenly. Everything is always so fresh and flavorful. If I had any complaint it would be that the banana flambé in Worcester is insanely delicious and it tastes a bit different in the Sturbridge location. Other than that - perfection! read more

Always the freshest most tasteful ingredients. Service is always with a smile and you are treated like a VIP. Hot pot is the most reasonably priced. read more

Baba Sushi - Hot Pot - Japanese Near Me - Sturbridge, Massachusetts

The service here was wonderful. The food was also great. When I showed up, the lot was nearly full, and I accidentally parked in the employee parking area. Immediately afterwards one of the employees at the restaurant informed me that I was parked in the wrong spot, but said I could stay there and he would block me in. I should just let him know when I needed to leave and he would move his car. This guy was so cool about the whole thing, I felt like I should ask him questions about how to improve myself. Then, I was stupid enough to ask for outside seating while the sun was setting in September. Naturally, the mosquitoes were out. Our server, Jakob, comes out with bug spray, and saves the day. Another great guy! Really, the food was great and I can't say enough good things about the employees working at this restaurant. read more

Have eaten at Baba sushi several times and each time the meal was excellent. Always ordered the hot pot which came with huge portion of meat and vegetables. The broth was spicy and very tasty. Service was very attentive and friendly. Will always eat here when in the Sturbridge area, cannot go wrong. read more

The sushi salads are great specially the one with sriracha, some of the sushi is pretty good, sadly they use to much of that soy paper on rolls which don't taste great excellent service place is nice! read more

We went for my daughters birthday. It was incredibly loud, I think it's the acoustics of that room. The table wasn't totally clean, we didn't have silverware/napkin setups. The food was all very good and fresh. The service lacked. The hostess and our server seemed disinterested in being there. Our server never came back to see how things were, we wanted to order a couple more rolls. We waited and waited. Everyone was completely done when he finally showed up again. We ordered the rolls, again food was great. The bill was high and I don't mind that if you are getting the full experience of good service, food and atmosphere. We just won't go back. Kaizan a few doors down is incredible, we just wanted to try something new. Live and learn. read more

We ordered the deluxe hotpot for 2, but it was more than enough for our family consisting of 3 adults and a teen. Our server, Anthony, was so friendly and patient explaining how to do everything and all the various choices. It was a delicious and fun experience! Compared to other places I researched, this was the most reasonably priced hotpot place around and it did not disappoint at all! Will definitely be back. read more

Great oysters for appetizer!!! Fresh oysters and the sauce that came with complimented well!!! Shrimp tempura maki was very yummy and $7 for sake (salmon) 4 pieces of sashimi also delicious!!! Tobiko nigiri was alright, the seaweed was a bit soggy! I prefer a better quality of Nori!! More crunchy :) Would definitely come back on Friday night because they have live band playing upstairs!! read more

Going under- please check the kitchen it's disgusting! It's very not clean I wouldn't go back

Food was phenomenal, no doubt some of the best sushi I've had. It's a bit pricier than average but not too expensive. Highly recommend 10/10

Such a fun experience! I had never had hot pot before and I really enjoyed it! We got the mala broth and the miso both were so flavorful and went well with all the meats and veggies we had! I loved our drinks. Our waiter was also super nice and gave us the how to on doing hot pot and some recommendations on cooking. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant very relaxing and fun. read more

Friday night double date - environment and staff were excellent. Perfect culture for a nice double date. Restaurant was spacious and under Covid felt clean and welcoming. Food was decent - not the best. We ordered three rolls - two basic Maki and one speciality. Again food was good, not great, but good. Disappointed by speciality roll - felt more basic and thrown together, versus the more detailed speciality rolls expected from a nice sushi pace. read more

Ok so here's a 2022 update. Beware lots of businesses have been jacking up their prices due to inflation and the quality has also gone down. Prices will probably stay as is with most establishments...Baba Sushi is no exception to this at this moment. I went there for my sons birthday and one of things I really noticed was the maki sushi was a lot smaller than before. The hot pot broth we got was kimchee flavor without much flavor and tasted watered down. Cutting back on ingredients but increasing cost is not going to get you more business. If your prices go up then the quality should be the same in my book and I'm sure with 99.99 percent of all people. I hope the owner or establishment is reading and taking notes. Hopefully, they make a change. I gave it a 4 star due to the fact that food was still good overall...mostly the sushi but the portions were cut down and the broth was watered down, and the price was increased. Not a good combo. read more

We went to Baba last night and it was excellent. We were greeted well at the door, seated right away in the upstairs loft which is a really good location. I know they have hotpot and it is great but we did sushi and it was so good and so fresh. The sashimi tartar for an appetizer is amazing must have. The drinks weee fantastic and the staff were great. Overall excellent night!! read more

Third time at this restaurant. The sushi and soup is delicious. Make a reservation because it gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights. I also never carry cash so I was a little thrown off by the valet parking but my wife had a few bucks to throw their way. If you are reserving for two and don't want soup, pick the bar. Seating for two at the soup tables are small. Overall 4.5. Definite GO TO for me again read more

Staff is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Ambiance is amazing with multiple party rooms available on request and most importantly, the fish is far fresher than neighboring sushi restaurants. Try the seafood tomyum!!! read more

Not the best Baba experience we have had. We have been going to Baba Sushi since they opened in Worcester. Sushi and cocktails are always excellent and I would never dream to complain about the quality of the food. However, last night we tried to the Hot Pot at the Sturbridge location - ordered the TomYum broth, and it was like getting water with a few cilantro leaves. It was so flavorless the meal overall was kind of a waste. Oyster appetizer and the drinks were on point as usual though. Hoping it was just a tough night, but I probably wouldn't do hot pot there again. read more

I love Baba Sushi! Hot pot is so much fun and as a vegetarian I have so many options! I highly recommend the vegetarian tom yum, it's got a nice heat and great flavor! We had a picky eater with us and they found stuff to eat. It can be a little loud in the restaurant, but otherwise it's one of my favorite places to eat in the area! read more

Their sea weed salads are huge for $6. My boyfriend and I probably should've shared one lol My spicy tuna's rice was hard and not spicy. As for the scorpion roll, my first bite was amazing! The avocado paired well with the eel sauce. The sweet potato roll was also tasty. The spicy scallop I didn't get that crunch feom the tempura crunch. The service was great between the hostess and our server. The ambience was chill and mellow though it seems like a mixture of snobby business workers and an older bar crowd go to the place. I wouldn't say they're the best sushi in town but they are worth a try. read more

Visited Baba Sushi Saturday night and as usual everything was fantastic. Their sushi is always so fresh and the staff there is the best! We usually sit at the bar and this was no exception and we had the pleasure of being served by Fischer! Fischer is always on point with drinks, food or anything else you need. He is attentive without being overbearing. Another plus of sitting at the bar is you get to watch the experts making sushi. What knife skills!!! On to the food. We had the King roll which is Alaskan king crab. This is one of our go to rolls always a hit. We also had a spicy scallop roll and a rock and roll. All fresh and perfect! Finished it off with two different orders of different kinds of tuna sashimi. They also have a decent collection of craft beers which keeps hubby happy. Give them a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Beautiful restaurant, good cocktails and large sushi menu! Had the Rangoon for an appetizer and it's made with lobster sounded amazing but you get a finger tip size of meat inside so not worth getting you're paying 10 bucks for a fried wonton! Other than that may come back to try the hot pot read more

Residence in the area- this go-to sushi fix and not Kaizen. Fresh shashimi, sushi are wrapped close to the standards of NYC and Boston. I wish prices were slightly more reasonable, and a better hotpot experience. I 5star recommend sushi on a regional scale; but can't push for hotpot if you're already eastbound to Boston on the Pike. read more

Ordered the $9 banana flambé on the app. Highly disappointed but mostly comical. Appears to be an old banana floating in some type of brown liquid water with a random banana peel. Not at all what the description promised me. I was scared to eat this. Not appealing whatsoever. read more

Ordered via doordash. I was so excited to have sushi nearby. Ordered a spicy tuna roll that tasted like canned tuna and a salmon roll and the salmon was definitely off. Will NEVER order again. Food was horrible. I'll travel to Auburn or Boston from now on read more

We had the edamame app and the tempura snapper app. The tempura snapper comes with 4 pieces of fish, 2 pieces of sweet potato and 2 asparagus stalks. All were delicious with the dipping sauce!! The edamame is always good here. I tried the Down East Aloha Pineapple Cider, also pretty yummy. The 4 rolls were good as well. The standout here was the service. The young man we had was absolutely great! Highly recommend giving them a try if you are in the ar read more

Baba Sushi - Random Rolls - Japanese Near Me - Sturbridge, Massachusetts

First time. Inside this building is a beautiful interior. Courtney was our waitress and she was OUTSTANDING. My boss had Sushi for 1. Big portion. I'm not a big Sushi eater but tried some. Salmon was so smooth and tasty. I had Sea Bass. One of my favorite fish. Had a special sauce that in its self very tasty. I thought it was acting more important than the fish so next time I'll get it on the side. Excellent meal. Asparagus were Perfect. The Miso soup was the best I have ever had in the States. So they are number two to a restaurant in Singapore. This is a must go once and it soon will be your number 1. Am driving wife from N.H. for dinner this weekend it was that good. read more
