Chelsea Omakase Speakeasy Hides Behind a Flower Shop Door
Omakase in Chelsea hides behind a flower shop door, with Edo-style cured fish served in a 1920s-inspired room.
🌸 Edo-Style Sushi Behind Flowers
Sushi by Bou runs a Chelsea omakase speakeasy at 232 7th Ave, tucked behind the door of Bosque Flowers and Coffee. The front works as a flower shop and cafe, and the intimate sushi bar waits beyond it.
Two menus set the length of the night. The 12-course Signature Omakase covers the core experience, while the 17-course Bougie or Bou Reserve option goes longer. The fish gets Edo-style cured preparation, which lends it texture, and one diner singled out the chopped tuna and the wagyuni, a wagyu and uni piece. The room draws on 1920s Prohibition-era glamour with modern culinary artistry at the counter.
Arrive on time, with a bar ready for anyone who shows up early. The counter opens 5 PM to 11 PM Monday through Thursday and Sunday, and stays open until midnight Friday and Saturday. Handroll classes and private buyouts are also on offer for groups.
