    Incredible. We did the omakase and it was an amazing experience. We had Harris as our chef and he was the awesome. He was very personable, cracking jokes, answering questions, and giving us recommendations for other great sushi and ramen in the city. He really enhanced the experience and knows how to make some damn good sushi!

    We were disappointed the location was only BYOB but Mitz is the absolute best sushi chef on this Earth. He always treats us like we are rockstars. We love your omakase chefs so much and they are super interactive with everyone, you can lose the liquor but don't lose those chefs!!!!!

    Izakaya currently doesn’t have a liquor license - we were not made aware of this ahead of time. It was my gf’s birthday, so we arrived early to get a cocktail, they said sorry we’re byob right now. So we just waited up front until our seats were ready for the sushi by bou expereinxe. I spent $350 for 2 people on the sushi experience & had the choice of 1 type of wine (overpriced). We ordered the wine in the beginning & received it during course 6 of 17. You would think the restaurant would give you a heads up about the liquor license issue. I was super disappointed in how the night went. With that being said, the sushi was amazing & our sushi chef was awesome (personable & knowledgable).

    The fish is good quality, but there's nothing special about the food. I was really disappointed that the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink, didn't provide a drink menu, then suggested we have sake. Later on the bill I learned that the sake costs $31 per glass. We only ordered one glass, but they brought us two. Feels really pushy and bad value. Never had this happen to me at another restaurant
