Sushi by Bou- Fulton Market Chicago @ Emily Hotel

This was my second omakase experience and it was delicious! After a few bites, I knew I'd want to come back. It didn't want it to end. I even did an a La carte and got the Big Mac. It was delicious! So many flavors of all things inside the roll.Sushi by bou is a signature timed omakase experience. The ambiance is inspired by the Hip Hop Era of the 90s, with graffiti-covered walls, playlists dedicated to the best of the '90s Hip Hop, and murals of Chicago Hip Hop legends. There are 10 seats to the counter and they have a lounge to hang out and enjoy craft cocktails and the great music!I really liked the options they served during the omakase and I got the Big Mac after. Soo good! I'd come back! It was a very cool experience!

Not sure, but maybe it was the day (edit: have gone again and it was similar...). Wanted to ask the chef, but the fish was very small - maybe it was cause we just did the standard course? Almost kid size IMO. I've been to sushi by bou in Gold Coast and in nyc and it's a clear difference.Overall ambiance and service was great however

This was an amazing experience, I cannot wait to attend one of their limited seatings when I get back to Manhattan.12 course omakase tasting menu and they played old school hiphop and rap from the 80s and 90s all night!

I love sitting at sushi counters and getting to see them work, I love the stimulation. Service was outstanding the chefs made wonderful reccomendations including their secret menu item ' The BIG MAC' Ambiance was killer and its a small space with limited seatings every night. Perfect for a sexy date night experience and great for talking !!

Super cool space, u didn't realize how intimate it was! Service was amazing! Super quick and the chef did a great job explaining everything!I did the 17 course boujie lunch! I left feeling full, each piece was unique. I loved the pieces that had the pickle wasabi! We were in and out within an hour!

We love the bougie experience so very much. Always a wonderful experience across different locations. Love every piece. The service is always great. Can't wait to have the next date night there!!

Super cool spot! It's super tucked away and hidden and you literally almost think that you're walking into a broom closet when you finally find the place! LolRegardless, the experience is pretty dope you get walked through all of your Omakase courses but I loved how you got a welcome shot of sake! Each course taste unique and any questions we had, our chef didn't mind answering. The place is super tiny, very cool in decoration but small, so yes, it can be rushed. I think they should space the reservations out a little better- I think my group had to wait about 20/30 mins after our reservation time to be seated. There was little time to linger at the end, hence being rushed, before they were saying you had to go. The hostesses/waitresses were super nice though! Give it a try just to experience it once! Enjoy!

Insane value. With a promo code, you can get $60 for a 17-course lunch.Our chef didn't really interact with us much (maybe his English wasn't good?), so it was a little different from what I expected from my first counter service omakase.Starting with the bad: wasabi was pretty inconsistent. Some pieces exploded my nose while others were fine.The good: I don't want to have to rattle off all of the courses, but pretty much every course was excellent.Really cool and unique underground hip-hop ambiance. This is the best deal on omakase around. Highly recommend!

The restaurant in Fulton Market does not offer outdoor seating, the Yelp listing currently says it does.

Really good value for some good sushi in West Loop! My friends and I came for a $60 lunch omakase. There were 17 courses in total and I was very full by the end. Out of the 17 courses, I liked the hamachi, the maguro, and the otoro courses the best. The fish tasted so fresh and the seasonings were very unique- from yuzu, to truffle, to simply perfectly balanced soy sauce. The other courses were good too, but not as good as those three..The one thing I wish they could have done better with is the wasabi to sushi ratio. Some pieces were quite heavy on the wasabi- so much that it tasted like an unpleasant surprise. The good part is that these didn't happen too often.Our chef didn't really take the initiative talk to us a lot, but he was friendly when spoken to. He was quite informative and explained what each piece was well.

Sushi by Bou was a fantastic experience! Located in the Emily Hotel, this hidden spot is great for omakase. We did a 9pm reservation for restaurant week - the menu was the 12 piece omakase. The space is located near the back of the hotel - the door had their branding on it so it was fairly easy to find. We waited in the nice hotel lobby space since we arrived a little early, but we got drink orders taken and were sat right before our start time of 9. The staff were extremely welcoming and the service was exceptional. The ambiance was my favorite as this West Loop location has a fun hip-hop flair with the best music! Our chef was great and it felt like each piece of sushi gradually got better and better. My favorites were the Yellowtail, Cod, Spotted Prawn, Scallop, and Salmon. The Kyusho Cove cocktail was also refreshing! Will be coming back!
