    I look the vibe of this place. The food was okay. It's fusion, but I think some pieces added too much seasoning and lose the original taste of the fish.

    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.

    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
