- ANAyu NabilahJan 30, 20265.0Went to Sushi by Bou once and immediately understood the hype. The experience was fun, intimate, and the omakase was so good I ended up going back three more times after that. Every visit felt just as solid. Fresh fish, thoughtful pacing, great vibes, and genuinely warm hospitality. One of those places that turns into a repeat spot real quick!
- CMChloe MacJan 29, 20262.0The host is rude and unhelpful. Walking into an entirely empty restaurant and the first thing you hear "do you have a reservation" "no" "um have you ever done omakase?" (We have many times.) 0/10 host and 0/10 vibes. Also really loud.
- LCLester ChongDec 30, 20255.0We enjoyed the 12-course set plus 3 additional personalized pieces curated by Chef Yang—favorites included the miso black cod and seared salmon belly courses. Excellent service from Roger and Tashon. Great art deco lounge atmosphere; highly recommend.
- ADAbe DaliskyDec 29, 20255.0Taeshaun and Roger were great! Super friendly service and great sushi!
- MJMartin JaloveDec 28, 20255.0We showed up as they were closing without reservations. They couldn’t seat us for dinner, but we got to sit at the bar and chat with the staff. These are remarkably wonderful people who love what they do and bend over backwards to please anyone who walks through the door. We can’t wait to go back for more than just saki.
