    My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary and we had the best time ever!! The head chef Alexis was funny, made delicious sushi, and put on a show — I even got to get in on the action with torching the wagyu!!! It was so much fun, the vibe, atmosphere, music, people — everything was spectacular! 100/10 would go again for sure.

    Chef Sean did an extraordinary job the evening that we decided to spend at Sushi by Bou. I would highly recommend their omakase as I believe it's certainly the best quality food you can get for the price.

    Not worth the price. Didn’t feel authentic. Could’ve gotten better sushi somewhere local

    Wonderful Omakase experience. Every type of nigiri we tried was fresh. We tried some of their a la carte hand rolls as well and were satisfied after it all. Definitely will plan to come back

    Chef Shawn was theeeee best 🍣💜🍣💜. It was my second time here and by far the best. We had Chris (female) as a waitress while we were waiting for the experience to start and she was the coolest. I would recommend
