Sushi by Bou - Chelsea NYC @ Super Nice Coffee

Only omakase in the city I have been to where I genuinely enjoyed every bite. The staff is also amazing. Felt like we were catching up with friends. Highly recommend!

There are 2 options; a 12 or 17 course omakase for $65 or $100. Either way, the seatings are limited to 1 hour. We chose the 17 course option and were happy with the food quality, speed of service, and friendliness of both the chef and manager. Definitely worth visiting for a fast omakase. Note the restaurant has a cool entrance at the back of a coffee shop!

Stopped by Sushi by Bou for a quick dinner and I loved how it was a speakeasy-style spot hidden behind a cafe. The fish was fresh and it's a quick in and out kind of place, which worked out since we had plans afterwards. With only about 6 bar chairs, the restaurant itself is cozy and intimate. The sushi portions felt a lot smaller compared to other omakase spots we've been to. Overall, it's a cute place with fresh sushi, but considering the price, I think there are other omakase spots in town that offer a bit more for the same value. Not sure if we'll return, but it's worth checking out for the experience!

not all omakase pieces photographed fyibooked a bogo deal at sushi by bou which was incredibly worth it! i came with some good girl friends on a thursday night and we were seated immediately. they were confused on our reservation so although we were a group of 4 - 2 of us arrived a bit before the other 2. we were seated immediately and served - but before the other 2 arrived which was a bit weird - our 2 friends arrived about 5 min after the resy time. it was a 12 course omakase but i will say, ive been to a different location before and the pieces were much smaller here!! and at the other location- we got a lot of extra bites and shots and other free bees so i was surprised to not have the same experience. never the less - our omakase guy really did a good job and was really funny and kind. the 12 pieces HIT - tuna is my favorite and there were like 3 tuna pieces. also had scallop, surf and turf, salmon, and much more. at one point my friends and i were using one of those fore guns to cook our meat so that was a silly fun interactive experience!!! the price here bogo or not is very good for quality omakase - would definitely come back and recommend

Initially I had booked at time square but it turned out to be vegan sushi only (whatever that means) luckily we got changed to this location at a earlier time so ended up having to trek from time square to here but made it just in time. The sushi bar is located past the coffee shop and when we first walked through we were seated at the drink bar area so we were a little confused. Turns out they were clearing the table and setting it up for the next group of people. My friend and i ended up ordering drinks with yuzu she got the honey bee and I got the one that was more citrusy (hers was better) drinks go for about $18 here. Booked the Bogo deal and I think it was a good price for bogo but I probably wouldn't pay full price for it since time peices or the sushi were TINY! It was still good for the price, my favorites were the miso cod and the toro! The toro just melts in your mouth and you can't go wrong with cod. Our chef was funny and kept us entertained the whole time. Minus one star cause I'm not sure if the size of their sushi is normally this small or if it was cause it was bogo... but Would highly recommend coming for bogo.

Cute intimate setting. You have to walk through a coffee shop so it feels like speakeasy vibes. Sushi was great and you got a good amount!

While the restaurant was pretty cool, the sushi itself was disappointing. The sushi counter was hidden behind a coffee shop, and there were tables for you to grab a drink if you arrive early. However, the rice with each course was way too salty and so overpowering that it was hard to taste anything else. The meal itself was also pretty rushed. From being seated to paying the bill, it was about 40min. They have to pace it so that each round of reservations is seated at the same time, so there's not much leeway to stay longer or be late.

The sushi here was incredible!! And the vibes were impeccable as well. Our bartender, Stefani, was iconic. She has made the best gin martini with a twist I have ever had. I will come back for not only the meal but also the sushi!

In terms of vibes and ambiance, this location is definitely the most appealing visually. Service unfortunately was lacking- our 12 course omakase probably finished roughly within 30 mins of the first piece. The various fishes didn't taste the freshest either, slightly fishy. Wagyu was a noticeably chewy cut. Best piece was probably the scallops.
