    I go here for business lunches and it is consistently amazing. I think it is literally the best sushi experience i have had in NYC. The food is perfect. My clients love the transformational experience of walking down those stairs into the “sushi speakeasy.” It just sets a mood. I love this place and will keep coming back.

    I have been coming to Sushi by Bou for many years now. This was the first original one I went to and have been here several times. This time however, I felt like we were not treated fairly. It seems like buying two 77 dollar sake was letting them know we automatically did not want the free sake that was offered to everyone else. Offering it to us is one thing. We declining it is another. There are other factors as well. But I think I am done with Sushi by bou establishments. Other places can have my business.

    Amazing intimate sushi experience. It’s just 9-10 people at the bar and two sushi chefs. Basically a sushi speakeasy. Fish was so well prepared and fresh. Everything tasted amazing. I don’t like scallops but even that course was so good. Def worth the price. Highly recommend and would go back!!
