    The food was amazing, received great service, a bit pricey but worth it. We had a great experience. We wish there we a few more options but we had no complaints! The Brussels sprouts are everything. And that Sweet Chili glaze goes with everything! That sauce is top tier!

    The *GRILLED Maitake mushrooms were to die for. We ended up ordering something every time the waitress walked by with someone else’s order because everything looked so delicious. Did not disappoint!

    Waited 1h for teriyaki salmon - and that did not seem to shock anyone. Food was average +. Overpriced. Waiter was absent. And to top it all they charge you a 'convenience' fee for forcing you to use their phone app to pay the check. Would not recommend.

    The food was surprisingly mediocre. I’ve dined here before and loved very bite. The service was as off as well and could have been helpful in guiding us through ordering. My drink had an unexpected purple ice globe. And the it felt as if we were being asked to buy more drinks.

    Love the interior. Good vibe for a date. Menu was very limited (maybe 10-12 items total including apps sashimi etc. & 5 specialty drinks) but the food was delicious and fresh. We had the Beef Gyoza (dumplings) 10/10! Rolls were tasty and drinks were good as well. I will say its a little overpriced in my opinion for such a limited menu. Service got better with time. I’d return for a pre-dinner cocktail, maybe if I were in the area. But with the amount of sushi options out there, you can probably pass.

    Terrible terrible! Will never come back here! Food wasn’t that great, very overpriced and they overcharged me for two shots of tequila. The server was fantastic, no complaints there. And the manager ended up fixing the bill when I gasped at the total and said there must be a mistake. He said I was right, they charged me for the wrong tequila. The broccoli dish was soaking in oil and the mushrooms were drowning in sauce. This place is awful, but if they fixed the food it could be okay.

    My boyfriend and I have been to Bully Boy three times in the past year. The first visit was absolutely phenomenal - food was amazing, service was great and the ambiance was straight sexy. While the service and ambiance continue to be great, the food is wanting. I’m not sure why, but in the three times we’ve visited, Bully Boy has had three different executive chefs, which may explain why the food quality changes each visit. We came in today craving the smoked duck paella and was told by the host that the paella was still available despite it not being on the menu. Come to find out the paella was not available, which severely dampened our appetite. The brussels sprouts are always a hit but they recently removed the crunchy element (peanuts) so the flavor profile wasn’t as robust as we remembered and liked. Bully Boy is a great vibe, Taylor, our server, was superb, and we enjoyed the experience for what it was, but we probably won’t be returning anytime in the near future.

    My husband and I were excited to try this restaurant. We were seated early, but had to wait 15 minutes for our server to take our drink order. We ordered 2 appetizers and 6 sushi rolls when we ordered our drinks. The food took so long that we canceled the last 2 sushi rolls. The server did what he could, but the food took too long and the sushi wasn’t as good as we hoped. It’s a pretty restaurant, but we won’t be back

    I’ve been plenty times to Bully Boy and always had an amazing time. Drinks food and ambiance is A1. But this particular time our waiter was a tad bit off. Really nice but just off and missed a few things. Of course I’ll go back but don’t want anyone to think it was horrible because it wasn’t. You’ll definitely enjoy yourself. So sexy especially for a date.

    I was blown away with the presentation of the food as well as the flavors. It’s Tapas style but 2 of us filled up on 3 plates. The beef wrapped asparagus, Chinese broccoli, and syrainglensishi roll with something seared on the outside were so good I couldn’t believe it. Can’t wait to go back!

    Every dish we had kept getting better and better! The service was fast and friendly without feeling rushed. Our server was knowledgeable but not pushy or scripted. Do not miss dishes from our meal would be the Brussel sprouts, lobster box, ceviche and oysters! They somehow manage to be fun, casual, upscale and romantic all at the same time! I highly recommend

    My sister-in-law came in town, so I booked Bully Boy after hearing great reviews from a friend. I think the location is convenient, they even have valet plus self parking. The ambiance is nice, tables nicely positioned. I enjoyed the space between tables, it wasn't overly crowded. Our service was great. The waiter, I believe his name was Bee, was very knowledgeable of the menu. We tried many things, and loved them all. However, the rock shrimp did not stand out like the others. My absolute favorites were the brussel sprouts and both sushi rolls! Overall, great experience! I would recommend this place for small groups and dates. I would also return. I am interested to experience the menu changes, as I noticed a few photos from previous reviews were not on the menu anymore.

    This was our first time dining at the restaurant and the menu selections are awesome. Unfortunately, while our server was very nice, he didn’t know much about the menu and unable to make any recommendations. We had shrimp shumai and shashito peppers which were both good and generously portioned. We then had the octopus, which we asked to send back. While the flavor was very interesting and creative, the octopus was like rubber. We also had the tuna hamachi and black cod. Both were just ok.
