Sushi By Bou- Boca Raton FL @ Royal Palm Place

Had our first omakase here and it was beyond amazing! Intimate atmosphere, delicious food, incredible service. Chef Jeff along with the rest of the team explained each course and we had really great conversations with them. Would highly recommend the 17-course omakase which we had; will be returning myself to try out more :)

If you love a speakeasy feel and Omakase and a good time this is the place to be. We have been by this place multiple times, trying out the other restaurants in Royal Palm, however After being reminded again, seeing a sister location at the PGA resort, decided to try this location out. One liner: if I’m rating solely on the food would give it a four out of five stars, however, as described below because of the experience would upgrade to five out of five stars. We will say it a nice touch to have such a small restaurant as a result, though the quarters are quite tight. Well, the concept is technically a more intimate experiences. There is a limited number of seats at the counter because of the spacing you are pretty much in the next parties conversation, and as a result, you lose that sense of intimacy. However, the service more than makes up for it. It seems like everyone has their dedicated chef. Our chef was Jeff and he was beyond fantastic. We were laughing the whole time and he made the experience. We decided to go with the upgraded Omakase experience and got to try some additional pieces in between the set course. Ended with some BOU –zy If it’s not part of the menu, but it was actually so delicious and came in a cute little container. Overall, the omakase is tasty, Is it the freshest I’ve ever had: No. Do I rate it up there with some of our favorite New York City omakase spots? Hm sure yet- will need to try again. But does the service make up for that: absolutely. The Omakase experience is exactly that it’s an immersing yourself and an evening of entertainment of labor and of exploration and that’s exactly what they deliver on. Please continue to appreciate the staff who are there as they are truly carrying the experience and the brand!

Smells incredible in there for some reason. Really good, I personally could have eaten more but it’s just the style so can’t blame it. Great variety and flavor. It’s definitely an experience, and great service and atmosphere.

Sushi by Bou in East Boca is sooooo darn good. Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, it’s omakase only. And yes… it’s worth it. Tucked into what used to be the original AlleyCat space, it’s small and intimate but done right. Cozy without feeling claustrophobic. Just enough room to feel exclusive without feeling trapped in someone’s pantry. The chefs were fantastic. Engaging, confident, and clearly proud of what they’re serving. The fish? Top tier. The kind where you take a bite and immediately stop talking. The uni is still living rent-free in my head. The tuna was incredible, but that’s almost expected at this level. I’m not usually a raw shrimp fan, so I asked them to torch it (and I thrilled that they did). Exactly how I wanted it. Perfect texture, slight char, still delicate. Yum. The only thing I’d pass on is the Big Mac. It’s creative, sure, but it’s overkill. Uni, scallop, toro, wagyu… it felt like someone said, “Let’s put everything expensive on one bite.” Sometimes less is more. If you’re looking for a great date spot or something different while staying in Boca, this is it. I honestly can’t think of another place locally that compares to the experience. Bonus: tons of parking since it’s in Royal Palm just south of Mizner Park. No valet stress, no circling the block. Pricey? Yes. Memorable? Absolutely.
