Sushi by Bou - Bayside NY @ Baraki

Second time coming here - Rachel was our host and she was attentive, sweet, and was definitely a plus to our experience. Sam was our chef, and we couldn’t have asked for a better chef! He was really nice to speak to, respectful, very knowledgeable about the fish when we asked questions, and making sure we were satisfied and indeed we were!! Exceptional service & fish.

My favorite omakase place thus far!!! Been here 3 times and all my friends that I brought loved it as well. Chef Kin made our experience so exquisite. Def will be coming back! Came back again and wanted to praise Chef Sam! After a disappointing experience in Times Square location, I wanted to show my bf the experience I always had in Bayside. He was very welcoming and accommodating. He took his time to explain the whole process to my bf who is new to omakase and we both loved it. Everyone at the bayside location is professional and very accommodating. Much appreciated!!!

We love coming here, Sam the chef is the best!!! he does magic with the sushi pieces, everything is very fresh and well balanced making us enjoy the food, ambience and the drink every time we come here.

Amazing omakase-- with a small group and attentive sushi chef. The fish and wagyu were fresh and delicious! The back area was more for tapas like croquettes and seasoned edamames. The cocktails (esp the jalapeno strawberry margaritas) were so good that I had to order 2 more! And I'm not a cocktail kinda girl :)

Sushi by Bou is your ticket to a nostalgic omakase journey, where culinary art meets 90s nostalgia. Upon arrival, the 90s-themed decor immerses you in a world of neon lights and retro charm. Their 12-course omakase menu offers playful twists on classic sushi. Impeccable sushi craftsmanship and perfectly seasoned rice shine in every dish. Pair your meal with a themed “90s Nostalgia” cocktail for a complete experience. The maple syrup old fashioned was quite a hit. Friendly and knowledgeable staff elevate your omakase adventure. If you’re craving a taste of the 90s with exceptional sushi, this is a must-visit spot. We’ll be back soon

Like other sushi by bou locations in the city, the Bayside location is also a speakeasy style behind a Greek restaurant. I’ve been to other omakase spots in the city, but this was my first time at Sushi By Bou and first omakase in Queens. Being in Queens, the place was very spacious with a separate bar and long seating area which is great for if you arrive early and the group before isn’t done yet. The bar offers a great selection of cocktails (and mocktails!). The bar counter during omakase sat around 8 people and it felt a little cramped being shoulder to shoulder with other diners, while the chef had to reach pretty far to get to my area in the corner. I was initially disappointed by how small the pieces were but remembered it was only $50 for 12 pieces, so not bad at all - you get what you pay for.

My first omakase experience and it was so good! Every single sushi was delicious-seriously. Every single bite was so flavorful and you just want to savor every bit. I honestly was very sad with each bite knowing I had one less piece to eat. We also added the big Mac at the end and my goodness. It's the mother of all sushi. It's a must try at a very affordable for omakase standard pricing.

Fantastic Omakase experience. My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint! Tucked behind a little greek restaurant we walked in and were sat quickly. This was my boyfriends first Omakase experience so Rachael and Chef Lee really made it special. The place is gorgeous and we made sure to take some photos with the "don't forget where you came from" sign. We got the bougie option which was 17-courses plus a handroll and a shot of sake for $100 per person. Every piece was extremely fresh and delicious. Mazin explained the barkeeps cocktail special to us and we were sold, it was delicious and very instagram worthy! When we were finished Rachael got us a table in their backyard and the vibes were immaculate. Super cute forest vibes with hanging Japanese umbrella's. The happy hour was still going on so we sat down and got some more amazing drinks from the bartender Erika, and played some games like connect 4 and Jenga. We were having so much fun so we invited our friends to come hangout with us. While my boyfriend and I were stuffed, our friends got the $3 chicken skewers which they said were amazing. They have a whole separate menu out there which we'll be back to try. Overall, a great edition to the neighborhood with such friendly staff, we can't wait to go back!
