I love this restaurant but they do nit serve nonalcoholic beer or cocktails. The only non-alcoholic beverages was sodas. I am surprised, particularly during this Dry January.

This was our first visit to NOBU in NYC. I was very pleasantly surprised by the cooked dishes. I regularly eat either ramen noodles or sushi / sashimi in a Japanese restaurant. The cod dish was exceptional! The beef dish was a close second. Dion, our waiter, was great. He walked us thru the menu and we took all of his suggestions. Very patient and caring. Definitely will go back soon to try more hot dishes.

This was my 2nd visit to the JC location and it definitely did not disappoint! We came to celebrate my brother’s birthday and it was his and my sister in law’s first omakase experience. They raved about the food, the ambiance, our chef and the entire experience! They’re definitely omakase fans now! Chef Gene was an incredible part of our experience! He was hysterical and so personable! He had us laughing the whole hour and made our dinner even more memorable! We’ll definitely be back soon and hope to see Chef Gene at future reservations! The music selection and playlist was also on point! Thank you to the entire Sushi By Bou staff for an incredible experience!
