Best tempura roll I have ever had. Best egg white cocktail I have ever had. Service was fast. Bartenders are efficient and take pride in what they create. Ambiance was SUCH A VIBE. Surprised this spot does not have so many reviews!

This spot is located in the basement of sushi dokku! We entered the entrance in the sushi dokku alley. It's such a fun spot for drinks and i believe you can also order food! My friends and i stopped by for drinks and they definitely packed a punch but were delicious. Our server was also so helpful and kind. Putting this spot on my go-to cocktail lounges!

Had a reservation on a Thursday night for 7 people. We got a booth, but the table was a little small for us. We started off with a round of cocktails including a couple something spicy's, espresso martinis, eastern medicine and staycation. All the cocktails were amazing. Well balanced and tasted great! We also did a round of sake bombs and then additional beers. The service was on point! We were checked on often and the table was cleared of empty plates and platters quickly. We also got a lot of food to share, which was all amazing. The highlights and favorites for our table were definitely the takoyaki, the seared scallops, the fatty bluefin and the crispy maguro roll. Honorable mention goes to the karaage, spicy tuna roll and pork gyoza. Finally, the ambiance was amazing. It was a speakeasy vibe, so wasn't too loud to have a conversation, great cocktails, cozy atmosphere and unlike some, a huge selection of amazing food. 100% will be back again!

Booze box is a exciting--albeit somewhat mysterious--spot with a good selection of cocktails, pleasant music, and deep red lighting (further adding to the mystery). My drink was beyond good. Coming from out of town, I was a little startled to see cocktail prices at $15-16; however, everyone in my group felt very satisfied with their drinks! I personally got the Staycation which was fruity, subtlety sweet, and had just the right balance of coconut!

I visited Booze Box during restaurant week and absolutely loved my visit! I still haven't been to Sushi Dokku's main restaurant, but will certainly be going soon. Booze Box is Sushi Dokku's downstairs speakeasy style lounge and it's such a fun vibe. (If you're visiting, look for the red arrow in the alley!) They have a DJ on the weekends in the evening, but during the earlier hours it's a much more chill and intimate setting. We sat at the bar and the service was great, the bartenders/servers kept checking on us, but not in an overwhelming way.The restaurant week menu they had was amazing and so delicious. I loved everything I was able to try. Their sushi and nigiri is so fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend if you like sushi. It's hard to get a reservation, so be sure to book in advance if you plan on visiting either spot. Their drinks are also very unique and interesting, many use Japanese liquors which is their specialty.I can't wait to go back to Booze Box, and check out Sushi Dokku's main dining room upstairs!

This is a hidden gem in the Fulton Market area with a hipster, secret-bar vibe. Hidden in the basement of Sushi Dokku, entry is made via an unmarked doorway and down a darkened stairwell. It's cool in a "speakeasy" sort of way but gives off a bit of an alarming sense that you are walking into a den of thieves because the stairs are dim as they lead you into a blind corner. Once you make the corner and see the greeter, all is right in the world and then some!There is a central bar with seating and a perimeter of open, somewhat elevated booths which makes for some great people watching if you put your back to the wall. There are some inventive cocktail twists (several standards but using Japanese liquors in place of traditional spirits) and a nice sake' and Japanese whiskey list for those wanting to get their drink on with a Japanese fetish. It is worth checking these liquids out since some of are not found all that often around the US. The menu fronts items from the same kitchen upstairs at Sushi Dokku so the same quality food can be had here but in a much more intimate setting if you are trying to impress. Nothing is cheap but the product quality and prep is high-grade. This is not your supermarket grab-and-go style of sushi. Some of the best items of the night were the Japanese Manhattan (a riff off a regular Manhattan with Japanese Whiskey, sake', vermouth and some plum instead of a cherry; The oyster shooter (raw in a glass with ponzu and a raw quail egg); all of the nigiri bites, and the grilled lamb chops. I did not find a marginal dish all night. Everything can be plated out to share and it really supports a communal type of dining/social experience with others at your table. I was there on a Monday night and it was not crowded and there was no loud music going on so it was perfect for me. I did feel like the old guy in the room since the people that come in here are of the young, hipster variety. But they were happy to take my money and I was happy to ingest their food and drink. I left quite satisfied. This is a place not to be missed if you like this kind of thing.

A great speakeasy option! Had a late Saturday night reservation to kick off an evening on the town. It's the side door next to sushi Dokku - with a subtle bar sign above. Food/drinks - great options! Murasaki was delicious, I'm a sucker for anything ube. Also great snacking options for a quick bite. Highly recommend the deviled eggs, ultimate classic with an Asian twist.Service - very on top of it and helpful. They even circled back to confirm an order. Very open with when the kitchen was closing and checked on us to make sure we got final orders.Ambiance - great dark vibes, moody red lights. Great DJ and comfy booths. Definitely packed so expect to sit at the bar if you don't have a reservation. Also LOUD, no worries for a group but don't expect deep conversations.

Great speakeasy with amazing food and cocktails! If my friend had not shown it to me I would have never found booze box, there is just a small sign indicating its entrance but once you've found it you will never forget! Cool ambience and great service! Can't wait to go back!
