Review summary

Sushi by Bou at the Emily Hotel in Chicago offers a unique omakase experience with "amazing" sushi and a "fun, friendly" staff. The "intimate vibe" and "energetic" atmosphere, blending sushi with hip-hop themes, stand out. However, the experience is often "rushed," with small portions, potentially affecting overall enjoyment.

    It was my very first omakase experience. It was a great first time. The space was super tight, and not very comfortable, but the sushi selections were good (even though nothing special.) On the upside, the staff were amazing. I’ll definitely give the other locations a try.

    Fish was fresh and servers and chefs were friendly but the space is very small and the hard 60-minute timeline is extremely off putting, especially for the amount of money spent. You are rushed in and out because the next group is coming in. No time to enjoy your meal or conversation. And forget if you wanted to order more sushi or drinks because you won’t be able to if there is a group coming in after you. Not a good ambiance. Ownership should reconsider spacing out the times because the current set up is very rushed and rude to your customers.

    The atmosphere / vibe / ambiance was definitely a 10 out 10. The service was incredible as well. But let’s talk about the sushi itself. While the quality of every fish we had was excellent, I wasn’t too crazy about the fish to rice ratio. IYKYK. I definitely thought the amount / cut of fish could have been a little more generous for the overall price I paid. I also thought it was interesting that they ended the omakase with a nigiri as opposed to a light dessert. But that’s just me. While my friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time, we probably won’t be coming back for a second time.

    Great experience. Intimate vibe with chef introducing each piece. Nice pairing with Sancerre white wine. Left stuffed and more full than I was expecting, the time flies.
