ON THE SCENE: Sushi by Boū – known for reimagining the omakase experience-

Sushi by Boū is changing the sushi scene across America. With an ever-growing list of locations, Sushi by Boū brings a high-end Omakase experience to the people in a fun, speakeasy environment.

The timed Omakase (30-minute and 60-minute options) is served at intimate 4- to 12-seat counters and features the freshest of fish, both locally sourced and brought in from all over the world. The seasoned sushi chefs serve you directly, guiding you through the meal and providing a truly exclusive experience.

The elegant cuisine is greatly complimented by a selection of handmade cocktails, imported sake, and rare Japanese whiskeys.

As part of the bespoke and discovery speakeasy dining experience with Sushi by Boū, each location has a customized theme to offer a unique, new memorable guest experience. Other themes include 90s Hip Hop, Roaring ’20s, Disco, Whiskey Library, and Tokyo Alley.

The newAstorialocation will have two experiences in one with the newestDisco Sushiwith table service and a full bar – as a juxtaposition to the intimate sushi counter – to offer guests the option to order from a menu with a selection of maki rolls and hand rolls.

While at the sushi counter, rather than experiencing omakase in a dark atmosphere, enhance your every bite with the beautiful blue sky with floor-to-ceiling windows and a roof that opens (weather permitting!)

Omakase means “I trust you”, which is a beautiful ode to the chefs at work. Guests may sit back and let the chef decide their menu placing utmost trust in them to deliver.
