Excellent service and excellent omakase. Space is very ambient and houses a cozy group of 5 making it an intimate space with the group. Staff is attentive and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Love Bou. I've been eating at David's restaurants since he was at Sushi Dojo. I ate at this location twice. The food is great. You know what you're getting. I've been to $200-400 spots that aren't as good. My only issue was one time, the chef was a bit of a diva (this was when this location first opened). Parking is a little difficult in this area, so I was paying on the parking app, while sitting at the sushi bar, and the first offering was sitting on the plate too long for his liking. After that, he was rude the rest of the dinner. The second visit, everything was fine. I've sat with David a few times (not here), he even gave me free rolls after all of the dinner courses. Great guy, I wish him all the success in the world.

Best place I’ve been to for sushi outside of Japan — especially Adrian and gene!

We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday and they made sure everything was delicious and fresh. Alex and Bryan made us feel welcomed and ‘emerged’ on every stage of the omakase experience. Will be going back soon!

Great omakase experience. Food and drinks were worth it

DA Tejero

Wonderful omakase experience. Chef Gene's skills produced delectable sushi and Adrian gave us refreshing cocktails. Both were very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic in what they do. Ambiance is cozy and dim with upbeat music playing in the background. Highly recommended. By reservation only.

This is the only sushi by bao I have ever been to and it has spoiled it for others for sure. I love the atmosphere, the service and the music. The food is amazing and such an experience. Asia (bartender) and the amazing hostess last night were the best! Plus I had bought a GC that expired that day and they called me to let me know it was expiring so I wouldn’t lose the money!

What place does that??

I love this is place for the food, the environment and the people! Such a great way to start my week.

My husband took me here after proposing last year and I loved it so much we decided it would be our yearly tradition to celebrate our engagement here! The sushi is hands down the best we’ve had and even though he’s not much of a sushi guy he absolutely loves it here! It’s also such a fun and intimate experience, I highly recommend!

Celebrated a friend’s birthday the other night and had such an amazing experience! The omakase and drinks were amazing! The bartender Robi made me a wonderful off menu cocktail. Adrian was also great and provided great customer service. Overall, thankful for Chef Ryan, Chef Thai and the whole staff for a memorable time!
