Omakaseed Vegan by Sushi by Bou is an entirely plant-based omakase experience, coming from the amazing team behind Sushi by Bou 🍣🥬 they’re located in the back of a hotel with some of the most beautiful classy library decor i’ve ever dined in 🥹📚 this restaurant is part of their mission to make omakase-style dining accessible to everyone ✨ and i’m SO here for it

honestly i was a bit skeptical at first on how vegan omakase would work, but was amazed again and again by how the chefs were able to transform plant-based ingredients into these incredible and unique bites! their techniques like dehydrating & marinating watermelon 🍉 and creating sour cream using tofu blew my mind 🤯

there are two menus available:

🥬 classic: 11 courses for $60

🥬 bougie: 15 courses for $100

what we ate (classic menu, 🫶🏼 = my faves):

-drinks: practice what you peach, shiso southsider 🫶🏼

-edamame pani puri

-banana w/ ginger & crispy onions

-tofu w/ shiitake, ponzu, chili crisp 🫶🏼

-wood ear mushroom borscht w/ dashi (made in house!) 🫶🏼
