12 Pieces, 50 Dollars, 30 Minutes: Sushi By Bou At NYC's Sanctuary Hotel

Tucked away in the basement of the Sanctuary Hotel in NYC's midtown neighborhood, Sushi By Bou offers 12 pieces of sushi for $50 in 30 minutes.


Ikura and Akami (x2)

Ikura, or salmon roe, is gently laid on a bed of warm sushi rice wrapped in seaweed. Fresh pieces of Akami, or lean piece of tuna, are rubbed with soy sauce atop perfectly seasoned sushi rice,and topped with garnishes.

Salmon, Albacore, and Botan Shrimp

Melt-in-your-mouth piece of Salmon is topped with spicy yuzu sauce, while the seared Albacore is flavored with ponzu sauce and scallion. The raw Botan Shrimp is a nice change from the typical cooked Ebi nigiri.

Toro, Uni, and Scallop

One of the most coveted pieces of sushi, Toro - or fatty tuna - is torched and has a buttery texture. A generous amount of Uni sits atop a bed of sushi rice. The raw Scallop is sprinkled with black truffle salt.

Wagyuni, Unagi, and Yellowtail

The Wagyuni features the best of surf and turf with seared wagyu and buttery uni. Finally, the flavorful Unagi is seasoned with slightly sweet glaze and wrapped in seaweed. The yellowtail melts in your mouth and pairs perfectly with well-seasoned sushi rice.
