Sushi by Bou - Chelsea NYC @ Super Nice Coffee

I had the best experience at Sushi by Bou with my man in Chelsea! The owner was so welcoming and made the night feel extra special. The food was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh — every bite was perfection. Jack prepared our 17 rolls for the night, and his skill and attention to detail were unmatched. Truly one of the best sushi experiences I’ve ever had.

100/10 recommend if you’re looking for amazing sushi and great vibes in New York City! 🍣✨

Best Omakase experience in my life. I stumbled on this place while walking back to my hotel and it was the highlight of my trip. Our chef, Koichi ensured we understood every item and treated us to a sake shot. Say 👋 to him if you make it there.

Reservations required for a one hour high end sushi bar experience. I ordered the basic Omakase package, no extra frills (until the end of the meal). You have the option to pick a prix fixe with more items - the menu is online to see. (Order whatever has the most UNI - AMAZING!). You can also request a sake pairing for additional cost. And, at the end of the service, you can order á la carte items as well. Sushi By Bou is designed as a speakeasy, behind a coffee shop (the coffee shop is not currently in operation, but they said they were going to start serving coffee soon). The sushi bar itself is dark, lush, and intimate, with a few bar tables for drinks while you wait (and possibly for overflow), a fully stocked bar, and a sushi bar. The sushi bar itself accommodates 10 in one hour seatings. The chefs behind the sushi bar are efficient and skilled. They announce each course as they serve it. For the people who get larger prix fixe meals, the chefs deftly serve those courses in between courses in the basic prix fixe meals. I picked sushi boo at random over several other options in the general area, and I was 100% satisfied and more than that, thrilled with the offerings. The food was outstanding, the service was efficient, the atmosphere was great and the people at the sushi bar were super friendly. For an extremely reasonable price, this was one of the better meals I’ve had in recent memory. I did have one à la carte Nigiri, after my main meal was finished, and next time I’ll go back for a larger prix fixe meal.
Cannot recommend strongly enough. Outstanding HIGH quality sushi experience.

Everything about our experience was amazing. We were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The staff was attentive and worked smoothly around us so not to disturb our conversation or experience. The chef's creations were delicious and he was clear to explain each dish. I highly recommend coming here!

This experience surpassed every expectation we had. We went with a party of 9 for a bachelor trip. The staff were excellent. The food was by far the best sushi I've ever had. I would HIGHLY recommend going with their 17 Course Omakase option, you will not be disappointed. Thank you to our wonderful server and outstanding sushi chefs!

If I walked through the desert for 40 years without any water, my first sip of still wouldn’t be as satisfying as the drinks are at Sushi By Bou.

If Michelin were to give this restaurant a proper rating it would take a galaxy of stars to appropriately rate how great the food is.

Imax and Santiago are always so welcoming and fantastic that when I depart this Earth some day, I ask that all my possessions be sold to pay for a monument to be built in their honor.

The chefs here are knowledgeable, fun, friendly, and beyond talented in the presentations and quality of the food.

They treat you like family here, and it shows.

We had such a lovely experience! This place feels like a hidden gem, the kind of cozy spot where the experience starts the moment you walk in. The ambiance was charming, the food was absolutely elite, and Imad took wonderful care of us!

The omakase was delicious, though it felt rushed. Half hr to dine. Had to chuck the sake down at the end.

I’ve been to a good amount of omakases around NY but this one was special. The employees are incredibly welcoming, gracious, and really just a fun time. The chef is knowledgeable and passionate. And the 17 course omakase was beyond delicious and just the right amount of food. 100/10 night out. Doesn’t get any better than this.

Went here to celebrate my friend's birthday. They were welcoming from the start. We made a reservation, sat at a waiting table until they were able to seat us at the bar. We waited about 15 minutes. Imax and the bartender were very pleasant and welcoming from the moment we stepped through the door. We ordered drinks while waiting to be sat. The drinks were great on their own and paired well with the sushi! Chef Koichi was extremely sweet and considerate of all of our preferences during our tasting. The serving staff checked on us just enough to ensure we had water and drinks the entire time. They were very kind enough to allow us to bring a mini birthday cake in with us and enjoy it there as well! This was one of the most fun and welcoming dining experiences we've ever had. If you're looking for AMAZING food and INCREDIBLY friendly service, go to THIS location specifically!
