Went last night and had an amazing experience! We did the 12 courses and it was still pretty filling. I think next we will do the 17 and that will be the perfect amount. Definitely recommend

Wow. It’s simply impossible that fine dining could be this fantastic. Tashon, Jens, and Jackie rolled out the red carpet so amazingly, you would have thought our last name was Bou. Chef Sebastian was simply breathtaking. We’ve had omakase at some of the world’s leading places in Miami, Seattle, LA, SFO, NYC, and Tokyo (all the ones we’re supposed to love) led by folks who were trained by one of the global icons or their mentees. But, I have to say that Chef Sebastian’s ability to create absolutely new and inventive tastes and flavors - while adhering to simple, yet complex and gorgeous presentations - was simply unmatched. While Chef Sebastian was working his magic, the rest of the team was working hard to make sure every other part of the experience was simply flawless. Water? Always full. Cocktails? We were always asked about how we enjoyed each one well before it was empty, by the expert mixologist who was able to explain the difference between how American mint and Japanese mint can enhance the flavor of certain beverages. Plates? Cleared instantly. Feedback welcomed by the chef? Absolutely. The energy level is not “watch me make your next item while the brightly lit room cowers in awkward silence” - like so many high end omakase spots. This experience is more like “Do you want to be sad when your dinner ends because you don’t know when you’re ever going to feel this happy with a meal?” There’s so much more I could say, including how the effective background music vibes by Englewood’s legendary R&B and old-school midtempo DJ T-Sizzle made us want to sing the staff’s praises all evening long. Here’s the only problem. Every single dish was so spectacular that we can’t even pretend to have a favorite. But what we all noticed is how carefully Chef Seb curated each one with a unique combination of subtle flavors that it felt that ALL of the entire meal was just our favorite. Thank you so much, Team Sushi by Bou Fulton Market!

Such an amazing experience. The entire place can only hold 12 people. The interplay of high end omakse and classic rap makes for the perfect vibe. We did the 17 course experience, and our chef Jens and our hostess/bartender Skye gave great explanations. They were also able to safely accommodate my crustacean allergy. We had an incredible time

While the sushi itself was good, $65 for just 12 pieces, is overpriced. Every piece of sushi is considered a "course". When you factor in tax, tip, and a bottle of water, it came to a staggering $89 per person! The sushi is served piece by piece as you are seated at the bar. Each hour is a new seating. We ate, paid, and left all within the hour.
In the end, I can’t recommend this place. It’s overpriced and underwhelming.
