Sushi by Boū, a quickly expanding omakase sushi experience, will open a location in Cleveland this spring. The innovative concept typically takes up residence in unexpected places — tucked away behind a vintage storefront in the East Village of New York, just through a secret bookcase at Salt Lake City’s Peery Hotel, or on the rooftop of the CitizenM Hotel in Washington DC.
Sushi by Boū’s Cleveland home will be The Ritz-Carlton, specifically the sixth floor lobby level alongside TURN Bar + Kitchen. The concept, while unique in every city, consists of an intimate arrangement that accommodates up to 16 guests. Every location has its own distinctive vibe and design, with themes such as hip hop, disco, Tokyo nights, art deco and coastal chic popping up in various locales.
“We’re excited to debut this concept that balances our commitment to hospitality excellence with a fresh, modern energy.” said Todd Temperly, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland.
Unlike the extravagant omakase bars that have been making headlines over the past handful of years, Sushi by Boū bills itself as “sushi for the people.” Whereas as many Michelin-star omakase counters can easily run north of $500 per person and last many hours, Sushi by Boū trims the cost, courses and time commitment.
Standard offerings include a Signature 12-course Edomae-style omakase, an Elevated 17-course omakase, and the Bou Reserve, a 17-course omakase experience with add-ons like caviar bumps, wagyu upgrades, bone marrow and truffle. The 75-minute dinners cost around $70, $125 and $175, respectively.
Diners can tack on orders for cocktails, premium sake, and Japanese spirits.
“The Ritz-Carlton has long set the global standard for luxury hospitality, and we couldn’t imagine a better partner to introduce Sushi by Boū to the vibrant dining scene of Cleveland,” Erika London, CEO and Founder of Sushi by Bou, stated. “Bringing these two brands together creates something truly special for guests — a refined, immersive dining experience that complements the elegance of the property while introducing the city to our signature style of high-energy, luxury omakase.”
Look for Sushi by Boū to open in the coming weeks.
