   It started with Sam for the whiskey selection and ended with the amazing sushi chef (food recon 1984). But I would be amiss if I did not mention Kate. Her bartending knowledge and detailed description of the sake completed the night.

   I've been to a few other Sushi by Bou locations and they never disappoint. The sushi is always so delicious and fresh and for $50pp, it really is such great value. It definitely has a fun vibe, rather than the quiet settings you sometimes get with Omakase restaurants - they were playing 90s hip hop tunes when we were there, so it is definitely a super fun place and a great date night spot. The service is exceptional. Whilst they say it is 30 min seating, you don't feel rushed at all and there are lounges to sit and drink before and after dinner.

   Nama kun and Brandon took good care of us. 30 min is a little rushed but good business model and easy to get a reservation. Will definitely come back

    Amazing service with great ambiance. Intimate but not uncomfortable. Host and chef Ramon were very personable and knowledgeable. Omakase with Sake pairing was great. Fun way to try items you wouldn’t normally order! Would definitely recommend.

    Overall everything was great, I think the experience could have been stretched just a bit. Being informed about a 30 minute experience is good. But I think making it 45 would make it easy on people to enjoy the moment just a bit more

    My wife and I went for our anniversary, first time Omakase dining. Loved every minute. Well-paced, delicious, very laid back. I had the Sake flight which complimented my meal perfectly. Great friendly service, very knowledgeable and informative. Wrapped up with drinks in the lounge afterword. Will definitely return with friends. Fun night out!

    Found this in an article about things to do in Chicago. The atmosphere was different on the second floor inside the Lincoln Park hotel. The group before us was running behind and we were offered menus while waiting. I wish we could’ve ordered drinks while waiting also. The omakase experience was very intimate while seated at a bar to observe the chef preparing the sushi. Out chef wore a mask and gloves to assure germs of any kind were not be transferred to our sushi which was much appreciated! The fresh fish and meat were mouth watering and small details of additional flavors were delicious. Drinks were very good as well as the host!

    I had a good experience here - the food was better than I was expecting especially the miso cod. That was delish. The sake I got was good but at times I felt like the wait staff was too attentive. Yes, I get some people want to make a big deal about an omakase experience but we were just there to eat sushi and have a night with each other. I chose a sake for instance because I know what kind of sake I like and I didn't really need the whole schpeal about the sake after the fact. I think trying to read the customer's body language and asking "would you like to learn more about that," for me, is more effective. I just like to be left alone with my hubby when I'm out on a date.

    I was recommended by a friend to visit but was a little disappointed because we only had 11 out of the 12 courses they had advertised. Maybe we ran out of time but we were on time, it just started a bit late. The menu said there is otoro but we were given chutoro instead. Overall the price was great but just a little disappointing we didn’t get the full experience/full menu.

    Omakase experience was good but some of the courses were overloaded with soy sauce and wasabi and the ratios were off. The fish quality was spectacular but drowned out by the soy sauce. Other courses were very good. Overall a good experience for the price.

    This place has a good vibe. Sitting at the bar for the omakase and moved to the lounge in the same room is kind of interesting experience although it's only allowed to be there for an hour. The sushi was ok but as the chef said you can't beat this by 50 bucks.

    Went to Sushi by Bou for date night and it was an amazing experience. I took my boyfriend, who’s not a sushi lover, and he enjoyed every bite. The staff was extremely friendly and informative. We had such a great time, we stayed for a round 2. Luckily it was a slow night and they were able to accommodate us. I will definitely return!

    Absolutely my favorite omakase I have done so far, while it might not be the BEST fish I had the quality for $50 I thought was insane. The people working there was the reason I would put it as my favorite. The energy and hospitality they gave was amazing! I can see myself coming back whenever I want sushi and just good vibes

    I didn’t know what to expect. The dining experience was spectacular! The food and service were on point. They informed us each step of the way. People were friendly and social. We did not feel rushed. We went on a Thursday night so the experience could be different on a weekend. Highly recommended if you want to try omakase for the first time with out spending the huge bucks….unless you have (multiple) cocktails. Cocktails are perfect! We will try the sake next time!

    The service was amazing. Sake selection was also exceptional. However, some of the fishes wasn’t as tasty or tasted fresh. A few of my all time favorite were a bit fishy; fatty tuna and salmon.

    This place was incredible, very intimate experience. The food was delicious and the drinks were strong! I was with a party of 2 and did the 30 min experience. Even though it was timed I never felt rushed, there is also a lounge to hangout in after your experience ends. 10/10 would recommend!!

    Amazing experience! The chef shared his experience of how he joined this restaurant. It’s a private setting. Only serves few people at a time. It would be better if the next group could wait outside or a bit far from the dining area cus it’s a little bit awkward when somebody is waiting to take your seats. In general, good value, great food and service. Willing to come again!

    Easily the best sushi I've ever had. The chef was great and everything was delicious. The 30 minute intervals are a bit strict and doesn't give myself or my girlfriend a whole lot of time to conversate and enjoy the food. I definitely felt a bit rushed. Would prefer maybe a 45 minute time to be able to truly enjoy my experience. However, overall I had a great time!

    Our sushi by Bou experience was exceptional. The service was incredibly prompt and I loved the intimate experience provided with the omakase. I will say as a con, we felt very rushed through our meal overall and I would’ve liked some more time to savor each bite and take my time. The sake pairing we chose paired very nicely with our nigiri bites. The ones that stood out the most were the Ikura salmon roe, prawn, and surf/turf with uni. I think the price point is fair if you know exactly what to expect and know that any additional add ons will be charged. Lastly, I will say a left a bit hungry still. The bites are on the smaller side, would’ve been nice to have a few more included or larger items. We will be back for sure! Thank you.

    This was a fun and affordable omakase experience! The sushi tasted amazing and fresh, and the chef and host had an amazing energy. The only thing that prevented me from giving this 5 stars is that, at the end of the dinner, the chef said he could give each of us an additional piece of sushi from the menu - anything that we wanted! We were so excited thinking this was a complimentary offering, so it was bit of shock to see the bill come out much higher than expected because they charged us for each piece of extra sushi. It just would have been nice to know up front that the extra piece was for a fee to avoid any surprises. Despite that, would definitely go again!
