    Everything was fantastic! To start, great ambiance and music! Everyone is seated at the same time and, yes, you do only get 60 minutes but, the whole meal is its own performance, perfectly timed. Each piece got more and more delicious! We did get a few extra pieces at the end. Cocktails were great too. It’s a fun spot and a meal not to be missed!

    Absolutely incredible omakase experience. We did the 12-course and added on some additional pieces and rolls at the end. Great selection and quality for your money. This was our second experience at a Sushi by Bou and it was amazing

    Never purchase the Friends and Family discount experience. No help from staff when trying to rectify the confusion. Just a heavy “I’m Sorry” come back and try again. No knowledge on how to help.

    Amazing food! We are used to omakase costing double the price here, and were so happy that the omakase came out better than some of those expensive places. And the service was top notch.

    Everything was really tasty! The customer service was amazing and so was our chef! But we did have to split a sandwich afterwards. I would do the 17 course next time to make it worth it. We did the 12 course and 3 al carte. Don’t come here on a completely empty stomach like we did! The hotel the speakeasy is inside of smells disgusting — like a public restroom that hasn’t been cleaned in days. But once you’re inside of the speakeasy, it’s completely fine. Would come back again!
