    I genuinely don’t understand the high reviews because my experience was extremely average at best. My friend made a booking last weekend, and this was my first time at Sushi by Bou even though I’ve been going to omakase at least once a month for the past 2.5 years in NYC. With that context, this was easily the worst omakase experience I’ve had. While the ingredients themselves were fresh, the portions were outrageously bad. The amount of fish and especially the rice was shockingly small. The couple sitting next to us even asked twice if they could get more rice, which really says a lot. On top of that, there was absolutely no creativity in the flavors. Every course blended into the next, and the entire meal was completely forgettable. To make things worse, they had also run out of uni. Basic inventory management should be expected... this just felt unprofessional. For the price point, this experience was unacceptable. I left feeling so hungry (never happened to me after an omakase) and ended up going to K-town afterward just to eat more food. My friend went straight home after and later told me she actually woke up hungry, which says everything. The seating was also uncomfortable, and the space was so dark it took away from whatever atmosphere they were trying to create. The only real positive I can mention is that the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, for this price, I would never return to Sushi by Bou unless it were free. There are far better omakase experiences in NYC that are more filling, more creative, and far more memorable.

    Very disappointed. The fish are okay, but the rice is super sour and even bitter. With the rice, everything taste very bad, even the wagyu and unagi. Chef said there is nothing they can do at the moment I understand. But the whole experience is just so bad I will never go to any sushi by bou restaurant again.

    Our experience at sushi by boy with Jack our sushi chef was amazing. All the fish was fresh and delicious. Each piece had been crafted to a delicious bite. We highly recommend sushi by boo, ask for Jack.

    Not even close being an omakase. Terrible omakase experience. Servers were nice but I've been to a many omakase places but this was the worst.

    Great food and service! Loved how cozy this place is! Two in our party canceled last minute and they were kind enough to waive the cancelation fee!
