"As the name suggests, the cool, casual restaurant’s menu includes more than just sushi — classic Japanese pub fare like ramen, gyoza, and bao, for example — but the move is the sashimi bar and one of Izakaya’s excellent cocktails. For a more intimate dining experience, you can also book a 12-course tasting at their lively omakase speakeasy known as Sushi by Boū ($65 per person, or upgrade for 17 courses at $125) in the back of the venue." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme, Ernest Owens
