    I've been to several omakase spots, and this probably by far, one of the worst omakase spots I have ever been to. The only redeeming parts to this restaurant are the bartender who makes fantastic cocktails, and the sushi chef's hilarious personality. I don't mind spending money at omakase, but who can't resist a good deal? I decided to try this place out because we saw an ad where they were running a $70 12-piece omakase for $55. However, when we got our check, the math didn't seem to make sense. I couldn't lay my finger on what was wrong, and the workers kept watching from behind us and kept saying "Don't worry, you got your discount. It's right here." Granted, I've paid nearly $200pp pre-tax/tip before for omakase. It's not about the money but the principle. After we left the restaurant, I realized that the restaurant had charged the tip % based off the subtotal BEFORE the discount, and not AFTER the discount. This does not make sense. My boyfriend thought he was paying 18%, when in actuality, we got scammed to pay nearly 25% for tip. Beware of these scammers and their tips/tricks. They also watch you while you click which tip percentage you choose, which is weird because most restaurants these days have the workers look away as courtesy. Never again. Won't be coming here, and make sure to check your bills, folks.

    As a seasoned sushi eater, this was my first omakase experience, and it was exceptional. From the start, the vibes were incredible. Host Imax made us feel right at home in a space that feels elegantly decorated yet intimate—almost like visiting a friend’s home. The sushi itself was outstanding. Each piece was expertly balanced with the perfect touch of condiment to highlight the fish, with the toro being a clear standout. We were able to linger over our bottle of sake without ever feeling rushed. I will definitely be back!!

Special shout-out to Imax who took care of us from the minute we walked in the door. He added so much to our celebration and made us all feel like royalty! Coming back soon!

    We had THE MOST INCREDIBLE experience last night at Sushi by Bou. First of all, the vibe is everything you want from NYC. The hidden entrance, the private intimate feel, the attentive service making you feel VIP, and of course the sushi which was out of this world. We were celebrating so we went for the 17 course option, and each bite was exceptional. It's more than just a delicious dinner out, it's a whole experience from start to finish, and I can't recommend this place enough. 10 out of 10. RUN!
