    This was so unique and so New York! Little nervous walking down some cement steps below street level and having to knock on the door, but service and food were great! So fun! We even told them we were from Wisconsin and as we were finishing they played “Jump Around”!

    Excellent food and service. Our sushi chef thoughtfully explained each sushi piece. Don’t be discouraged by the quirky downstairs entrance because it opens to a beautiful cozy space.

    I go here for business lunches and it is consistently amazing. I think it is literally the best sushi experience i have had in NYC. The food is perfect. My clients love the transformational experience of walking down those stairs into the “sushi speakeasy.” It just sets a mood. I love this place and will keep coming back.

    I have been coming to Sushi by Bou for many years now. This was the first original one I went to and have been here several times. This time however, I felt like we were not treated fairly. It seems like buying two 77 dollar sake was letting them know we automatically did not want the free sake that was offered to everyone else. Offering it to us is one thing. We declining it is another. There are other factors as well. But I think I am done with Sushi by bou establishments. Other places can have my business.
