  I went for the happy hour $55 at 5:00 and it was good but I have to say you get what you pay for. The fish was fresh but after 12 orders I was still pretty hungry. It’s a good deal but upgrade to the 17 pieces.

  Was served by Chef David, we got the base set omakase - incredible! I personally liked the fatty tuna, but my gf liked the yellowtail. You can’t go wrong with whatever they give you, but it was our first omakase and it was out of this world. 1000% recommend, make sure to buy your chef a drink 👌

  The service was excellent!! The food was amazing too though the salmon roe one was a bit too salty.

  We had an 8:00 PM reservation on Sunday, February 15, 2026 at Sushi by Bou Chelsea. What was meant to be a special evening turned into one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences we have ever had. As we were being seated at the counter, a staff member who identified himself as “IMAX” repeatedly told my husband to sit down. We are French, and my husband did not immediately understand. Instead of clarifying politely, the tone became increasingly irritated and aggressive. When my husband calmly said, “Please speak easy, calm down,” the situation escalated further. The staff member then switched to French and addressed us using slang, saying: “Frérot, I’m speaking calmly. If you’re not happy, you leave.” (For context, “frérot” is slang equivalent to “bro,” which is inappropriate when addressing guests.) He then said in French: “Just sit down, shut up and eat.” Being told to “shut up and eat” by a restaurant employee is unacceptable under any circumstances. We decided to leave immediately. As we were putting our coats on near the entrance, he came back and told us: “Come back inside, sit down, I’ll offer you the meal.” However, at that point the damage was already done. The pressure, the tone, and the way we had been spoken to had already ruined the evening. I was in tears. Although he offered a complimentary meal and partially apologized, he also stated that he has worked in food and beverage for 50 years, that he “always speaks like this,” and that he would not change. That statement is deeply concerning. Professionalism and respect are fundamental in hospitality. We had arranged childcare for this evening and were genuinely looking forward to it. Instead, it became an extremely upsetting experience. We will not be returning.

  My girlfriend and I absolutely love Sushi by Bou – Chelsea NYC at Bosque Flowers & Coffee — it’s become our special date night spot. The atmosphere is intimate, the management and staff make us feel genuinely cared for, and every visit is such a great experience that it makes us fall in love all over again. This review is way overdue… and after writing it, we’re already looking for a reservation for TONIGHT.
