    Great experience. Intimate vibe with chef introducing each piece. Nice pairing with Sancerre white wine. Left stuffed and more full than I was expecting, the time flies.

    The food was great, pretty filling too for omakase. The ambiance and venue is also really cool and interesting, seeing omakase blended with west coast rap/hip hop was something I didn’t expect but throughly enjoyed. However— the random man that pops out from behind the bar or maybe the back room? INSANE. He made our experience SO uncomfortable. Not sure if he is the bartender or the manager or the owner even, he didn’t introduce himself he just jumped right into harassing us. We(2) were there at 5pm on a Monday, both sober. Upon arrival the lady at the front asked to check our coats and handed us drink menus while guiding us to the seats to wait for the experience to begin. we both decided on water as we wanted to get the full experience and didn’t want to corrupt the taste by getting a soda or a mocktail. She brought out waters promptly and as we were ready to join the table she asked a second time if we decided on drinks and we shared that we were sticking with water. she politely said okay no problem and our experience began. Two courses into the experience the man says “SO WHATS GOING ON WITH THE DRINKS?!” from behind us leaving us startled and confused. We shared that we wanted to stick with our waters and he persisted listing out the various sakes he has and the cocktails he can bring out. We continued to explain that we wanted to stick with our waters because we both have work in the morning and that we didn’t want to drink on a monday. (truthfully not ever but didn’t feel like explaining) The man continues to persist and says one drink wouldn’t kill us…. which left us uncomfortable and SO bothered. I am not sure if the pressure was because the drinks are additional $ to the price for omakase or if the man is just obsessed with having people drink. But it quite literally ruined our experience because he continued to hover for the rest of the evening. Finished the courses within 30mins and decided to leave when we would’ve loved to stay for dessert and vibe

    Loved our experience here. The vibe, food and staff are amazing. Definitely will be back and want to try out the other locations. You won't be disappointed. Only thing I would want is I wish we get more than 1 hr. so you can eat and grab another drink or something. But regardless...love this gem.

    Sushi By Bou was having a special promotion for reaching 100K followers on Instagram. I got a promotion that gave me a discount for the Bougie experience (I paid $70 versus $100). My husband paid the regular price since I didn't realize the discount was only for one person. I have been to Sushi By Bou before but at a different location. We had a 10PM reservation and I went with my husband. The venue is pretty cozy; there were only three groups of people at that time. The music was very loud and contained a lot of swear words, which is personally not my taste. I was sitting next to my husband but found it hard to hear him and for him to hear me. The sushi was good, except for some of the pieces where the rice was really sticky or one of the pieces that contained a salt pocket (maybe because we were the last group of people they were serving?). The Bougie experience came with five extra pieces, as well as a little gift (a sushi headband that said Bougie experience and Sushi by Bou all over it). Overall, I think it was okay but I am not looking to go back...at least not anytime soon.
