    Awesome experience! The chefs explained what we were eating very well and kept it a great atmosphere! Only suggestion would be to turn the overall music down as it was difficult to sometimes hear the chefs.

    If you like good sushi, I would not recommend this place. The service was good but the sushi was mediocre and the place was pretty dead for a Friday night. Seemed like a place you go to take instagram pictures.

    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.
