    Loved our experience here. The vibe, food and staff are amazing. Definitely will be back and want to try out the other locations. You won't be disappointed. Only thing I would want is I wish we get more than 1 hr. so you can eat and grab another drink or something. But regardless...love this gem.

    Sushi By Bou was having a special promotion for reaching 100K followers on Instagram. I got a promotion that gave me a discount for the Bougie experience (I paid $70 versus $100). My husband paid the regular price since I didn't realize the discount was only for one person. I have been to Sushi By Bou before but at a different location. We had a 10PM reservation and I went with my husband. The venue is pretty cozy; there were only three groups of people at that time. The music was very loud and contained a lot of swear words, which is personally not my taste. I was sitting next to my husband but found it hard to hear him and for him to hear me. The sushi was good, except for some of the pieces where the rice was really sticky or one of the pieces that contained a salt pocket (maybe because we were the last group of people they were serving?). The Bougie experience came with five extra pieces, as well as a little gift (a sushi headband that said Bougie experience and Sushi by Bou all over it). Overall, I think it was okay but I am not looking to go back...at least not anytime soon.

    Fish cut too small. Not enough area to sit. Just overall poor restaurant planning on reservations vs. space

    It was a good experience but not worth 100 dollars. The seventeen courses were not filling enough. Need to add more substance to the courses to make it worth it. 17 courses should fill one up. The quality of the fish and sushi was great.
