    This place is amazing! Highly recommend the omakase here, not too filling either with the 12 or 17 piece option. You also have the option at the end to order more. The sake flight pairs very well with the omakase. Great vibes with old school hip hop playing while eating amazing sushi. The chef and host were super nice. Everything was wonderful, we'll definitely be back!

    Unfortunately, Sushi by bou is starting to become cheap with the Omakase experience. Our favorite piece was the Uni with the wagu. Now they take a little bit of the uni and mix it with the sushi rice and top it off with the wagu. Extremely disappointing and it degrades the entire experience. I have to rethink about coming back once I've noticed the standard is going down. Super disappointed. Also, the regular Omakase pieces need a bit of TLC. I shouldn't have to ask for a bit of soy sauce because of the piece was bland or had no flavor.

    Let me tell you. This is Not Omakase. I have dined in at least 50 Omakase restaurants and this is just normal sushi bar. Service & Atmosphere was good tho. Food is just okay. I thought the price was reasonable (we did 17 course, $100 each person) but after trying it, it is overpriced. If you are looking for just Casual Sushi Bar, this place fits that Category but definitely Not Omakase.

    Fast food style omakase, dining time is exactly one hour. I have no issue with that, but overall sushi quality is very mediocre for the $150 price. It went heavy on sauces, which covered the texture and taste of the fish. Also, I had the worst toro in my life here - tendon in toro, can you believe it??? Maybe it is okay in NJ standards, but it is FAR from the average quality in NYC omakase for the price. Worst experience was, SUGGESTED TIPS PERCENTAGE WAS AFTER TAX, which is totally unacceptable. Will not visit again.

    I stopped in this restaurant for their sushi special! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and found the restaurant. It was small and cozy and I loved the Playlist! I had their special with the the 12 piece sushi. That included: Yellowtail Lean Tuna Spotted Prawn Salmon Roe Albacore Chopped Tuna Scallop Miso Cod Fatty Tuna Salmon Surf N' Tuf BBQ Eel The sushi was really good! I also had the old Fashioned Pearl drink which I enjoyed! All in all a great experience!
