Sushi By Bou 218A Newark Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07302

"My husband and I are huge fans of sushi by bou we always have an amazing omakase experience with the best drinks. The fish is fresh and delicious, they get their fish from the same place the michelin star restaurants do. Both chefs were fantastic and I really liked the variety with the bougie experience. I’m blanking on the hosts name which is annoying me bc he was so personable and friendly, made the night that much better! And lastly the bartender Mike was the man! My husband loves going out to try new drinks and Mike made all these different tequila specials throughout the night that were fantastic. Highly recommend for a great date night or girls night, just have something planned after because it’s only an hour experience."

"its not bad, but the omakase has some strong sauces and was scorched by blowtorch (for what seems like majority of the dishes) . Im a big fan of sushi and omakase and things like essentially lightly cooked fish is not what I was expecting. I think the quality of the fish itself is not that high which is why its covered up via searing all of it and or using some powerful flavors that mask the fish (the few ones where they let the fish come through, didnt taste very fresh) , interestingly enough seemingly no soy sauce in those flavors they use. Music was very loud for a place so small so couldn't hear the chef explain what we were being served. Though I think if you are relatively new to sushi and omakase in general, you will enjoy your time. If you are all about the fish and its pure flavor and quality, then maybe not so much"

"Delicious sushi! We got the "bougie" experience and thought it was definitely worth it for the cost. Our favorites were the scallop, surf and turf, uni, toro, and eel. The host/bartender was awesome and super engaging and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. I had noted that I'm currently nursing, and the sushi chefs thoughtfully swapped out some of my sushi pieces so I could still enjoy the full meal without being concerned about my mercury intake. We had a great time and would definitely come back again."

"Great quality sushi at an affordable price. The 12 piece omakase $50, they also have a longer and high tier omakase for $100. Great space and friendly staff. All the pieces that we had were very fresh and well made. Worth trying if you want to have some good sushi without breaking the bank."

"This is the best sushi I've ever had in my entire life. The atmosphere is unmatched - it's for small groups of up to 8. The host Anthony is a party and so personable and attentive. The chefs I've had each time are so friendly and knowledgeable (Chef Kevin pictured) and the bartenders serve up the best cocktails and sake (shout-out to Nick, a mixing master!). They have a 12 and 17 course omakase and every piece melts in your mouth. Such an amazing experience and worth every penny!!!"
