    It's always great to go to Sushi by Bou (probably our fifth time there at the Jersey City branch). I just find it a little too dark to appreciate how the chef is preparing the food, compared to the midtown branch. I just noticed a case of the incredibly shrinking fish on the sushi, hahaha! But it's probably expected considering the runaway inflation we're having... Have tried more expensive omakases, but always drawn to Sushi by Bou. Host is gracious enough. The cocktails could be a little more exciting...

    Everything was 100% on point except for one thing. They do a 12 course and a 17 course omakase, I opted for the 17 course. Don't do it. The 17 course is the same 60 minutes as the 12 course and is just too rushed. Oddly i would have enjoyed the 12 course better just to not feel rushed. Otherwise the entire staff is amazing. Fish was great etc.
