Absolutely a five-star, must-experience adventure! Jeff and Jordan are simply incredible, radiating an infectious energy that transforms the atmosphere. Their vibrant personalities make every moment enjoyable, but it’s their culinary skills that truly steal the show. Each dish they create is a masterpiece, showcasing their passion and talent as chefs.

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and excited. Jeff and Jordan’s enthusiasm is contagious, and their ability to engage with guests is unmatched. The whole experience is not just a meal; it's a delightful journey filled with laughter, creativity, and exceptional food.

I can’t recommend this experience enough—I’ll definitely be returning again and again. If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure, look no further!

The omakazi was well worth it! The layers of flavors with each course was beyond what I expected. The atmosphere was lively and service was very attentive.

We did the bougie experience and it was awesome! They definitely give us an upscale experience. The only downside was when I was making the reservation it did not reflect the TOTAL for 2 people so at the end of the night I was surprised when it was double.

I thought this was a decent omakase experience. Went on a Sunday night and they limit to 8 seats which I liked. The sushi was really good and service from the hosts were amazing. The only negative was that the chef was a mime. No interaction no conversation. I even yawned at one point. Also the sushi were inconsistent size/presentation/cut. Still tasted good.

This was my first experience at Sushi by Bou in Ft. Lauderdale. My first experience with the brand was in Albany, N.Y. My review is by comparison. Entering SbB in Ft Laudy was fun...upstairs in a small intimate setting like a speakeasy. The disco decor was really great and was very energetic. I love how there are areas for cocktails before dining. Our host was attentive and made sure our drinks were made as requested. At the time of our seating, we were moved to the sushi bar area, where we met both chefs. Jeff was the chef closer to our side of the bar (only 8 of us). He was personable and funny. I liked that you could watch how they prepared each piece of nigiri! Jeff explained what we were eating and ensured we enjoyed each bit. We enjoyed the choices the chefs chose to serve and then added a few other items from the menu. Delish! Afterward, we were moved to a lounge area overlooking SALT where we enjoyed cocktails and dessert. At that time, we met another couple at the other end of the bar and continued our evening together!

My suggestions to improve our experience: We need napkins when we eat! We all had to ask for napkins a couple of times. Having our empty glasses and napkins taken as emptied or used would have been nice; across the bar, several empty glasses and napkins were scattered. Omakase experiences differ, of course, but in a small intimate setting, introducing everyone to each other, engaging with the customers, and a clean "table" would have elevated the experience for us all. (other couples said the same thing)

We are eager to try the brand in another area and see how they compare!

Sushi by Bou is a MUST for a fun omakase experience. It’s totally affordable here and the quality is top notch for the price point. We’ve been to omakase experiences in Seattle, NYC and Miami where pricing ranges from $150/pp and up. Sushi by Bou makes this omakase experience affordable. Especially for people who have never experienced omakase before, this is a great spot to try omakase. Plus it’s just a fun vibe all around. Staff is AMAZING here!

We checked out Sushi by Bou for the first time back in July for one of our girlfriend’s birthday. Went on a Sunday night around 7pm. Had Jason as our greeter and server and he was awesome! Had Chef Daniel and Chef Nick for our sushi chefs. They were pretty awesome too. Honestly, we had the best experience and so much fun with these guys. The energy was high and lots of laughs were had. The staff was great and even came out with the birthday cake we bought with singing and dancing. No joke. I have video! Lol. We knew we had to come back.

Fast forward, our friend told us about the “Two for One: Friends & Family Summer Special” for $70!!! Like an omakase BOGO ya’ll. So I snagged the deal. AMAZING DEAL!!! Bought the deal in mid August but forgot to make my reservations until mid Sept, deal ended at end of Sept. Ha. The only reservations left was for 10pm on a weekday. Went on a Wednesday night with hubby at 10pm. It was torture because so late, but also worth it. Lol. Had Jason as greeter/server again. For sushi chefs, we had Chef Daniel again but met a new Chef Jeff who was hilarious. Not gonna lie, this is the last omakase experience of the night and the energy level is way different. I’m sure everyone is tired, including us and wasn’t as crazy or fun as first time but nice and chill. We still had a really nice experience. We finished at 11:30pm and couldn’t wait to go home and sleep.

Sushi by Bou Omakase Options:
• 60 MINUTE, 12-COURSE BOUMAKASE $65
• 60 MINUTE, 17-COURSE BOUGIE OMAKASE $125

This vibe is so different here. The Fort Lauderdale location has an urban feel with modern art, disco fun and colorful theme going on. Total lounge vibes! Sushi by Bou is located inside Salt 7 on the second floor. Once you arrive on the 2nd floor, you walk into a cool space with the bar on the right and a small lounge space where you can get a drink while you wait for your experience to start. You can see the other group finishing up their omakase from the lounge area. The greeter will seat you once they are ready. The chefs do their thang and it’s really cool watching them during the entire experience. Entertaining. After you’re done, you can order desserts too. They offer a matcha cheesecake or mochi ice cream. During the earlier reservations, they will lead you into two other lounge rooms next door. One is dark and intimate and the other one overlooks Salt 7. Very cool space to chill and lounge with cocktails.

If you’re still hungry, they promote the Big Mac. The Big Mac at Sushi By Bou is a sushi piece that features wagyu, scallop, o-toro, and uni. OMG!!! It’s an additional $28 but damn, it’s a great freaking combo of flavors!!! They say one bite but no way anyone can eat this in one bite. I shared with hubby and it was perfect so we could both try it. Worth it.

Totally not into overpaying for food but this was an interesting place with great chefs that have a very infectious positive demeanor. Oh the food was really good too. I was expecting only marginally better sushi compared to more affordable options but this place really exemplifies the saying “you get what you pay for”

Had a wonderful girls night enjoying 12-course omakase experience at an accessible price. We were served by friendly sushi chefs Daniel and Nicholas. Worth experiencing for yourself for a fun date or girls night.
