    Absolutly loved the place, it was a unique experience. Sat at the bar while the chef prepared each of the nigiris, ready to be tasted as-is. Each of them amazing. All the staff were great and welcoming. Fully recommend it.

    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.
