I’m a bou fan so when I was in town I had to check out the west loop location. All the spots have such a unique feel- this was very upscale compared to the disco and hip hop themed in NYC but equally as amazing. Have never left a bou unhappy!!
Been several times over a long period of time. Used to be great. The servings of fish on each bed of rice are now infinitesimal. Seems all good things must come to an end.

I’ve never been to a less authentic omakase. This is my first 1 star review, it was very disappointing.This place is run by people who know nothing about the art and craft of great sushi making. All they do is throwing in what they think the right ingredients are and treating the experience like fast sushi.They only care about money and flipping tables, to the point where sushi pieces will pile up on your plate. We were rushed to wrap up in under 30 mins.There’s no interaction with the chef. The rice is not great and the sushi falls apart immediately. The quality is only slightly better than Whole Foods sushi with fancier ingredients.

Food is good, but we felt rushed to have to eat a 12-piece meal in 30 minutes. We could have used an extra 30 minutes, at least. 175 USD is quite expensive for a 30-minute meal you don't have time to appreciate ...

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! If you're in NYC you absolutely HAVE to go. The chef was absolutely amazing, you'll meet a wonderful gentleman who will help navigate the experience as well. The ambience was exceptional. Great music, people, and vibes. I would have eaten here several more times if we had the chance. Experience AND food was 10/10. Highly recommend and absolutely WILL be back next time we're in New York!

We felt a bit rushed (12 pieces served in less than 30 minutes). The food is amazing, though, and the experience unique. Quite expensive (175$US + tip for 2 persons, 12 pieces each, and only one cocktail).

Top secret hidden gem with style. They had 12 straight different types of sushi hand made in front of you. Only seats 8 get reservations, flavors you've never experienced in every unique masterpiece.
Just a great omakase experience all around, and in such a cool, intimate space. Fish is incredibly fresh, rice is well prepared, and staff is knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. Cocktails are delicious and they do have non-A options. And the price is not bad for the quality! Hard to beat in the Times Square area.

This is definitely a one time experience you must try. My biggest concern was the price is crazy. One glass of wine and sushi for 3 people, (8 pieces each) came to $277.00. That included a $45 tip. When we left the restaurant, we went and got pizza. I was expecting a little more of a dining experience.

Absolutely amazing experience. Every single bite was stunning and the service by the bartender was amazing! We especially appreciated our sake send-off shots! Great for a special occasion dinner before a show/event in the theatre district

I have visited Sushi By Bou and the experience left a lasting impression. The 12 course omakase dining journey was nothing short of exquisite, with each dish thoughtfully crafted to perfection. The Hamachi (9/10) and Hotate (9/10) stood out as exceptional highlights, showcasing the chef's skill and precision.The atmosphere at Sushi by Bou is both hip and young, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The service was attentive, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the evening.From the melt-in-your-mouth Toro (9.5/10) to the delicate Akami (8.5/10), the menu boasts a diverse range of sushi options that cater to various palates. The Gindara (8.5/10) and Maguro (8.5/10) added another layer of sophistication to the culinary journey.While some dishes like the Botan Ebi (7/10) and Wagyuri (7.5/10) scored lower than the others scored, the overall dining experience was undoubtedly one to savor. Sushi by Bou is definitely a place to visit carved its place as a destination for those seeking a culinary adventure in the world of sushi.In summary, Sushi by Bou offers a commendable blend of quality, service, and a diverse sushi selection that makes it a noteworthy spot for any sushi enthusiast. I look forward to returning and exploring more of their culinary offerings.
