PHILADELPHIA, PA — Sushi by Bou, the culinary brand known for revolutionizing the omakase dining experience, is set to make its mark in Philadelphia’s Midtown Village. Located at 1224 Chestnut Street, this new venue offers an exclusive 10-seat omakase counter along with a vibrant BouBar lounge, merging traditional sushi craftsmanship with a modern twist.
Originating in New York, Sushi by Bou has gained fame for transforming unconventional spaces into sought-after dining spots. From hotel rooms to mop closets, each location offers an intimate and unique dining experience. The Midtown Village outlet takes over what was once Leda’s Cocktail Lounge, turning it into a Studio 54-inspired disco haven. The venue dazzles with its velvet booths, glittering mirror balls, and a gallery of iconic images from the disco era, creating an atmosphere that blends nostalgia with modern flair.
Michael Sinensky, Co-Founder of SimpleVenue, the group behind Sushi by Bou, expressed excitement about the Philadelphia launch. “With this opening, SimpleVenue is proud to debut a new concept. Sushi by Bou Midtown will feature our first BouBar—a fun and lively lounge atmosphere with live DJs playing a blend of timeless disco and house beats,” stated Sinensky. This new concept is expected to roll out in other locations across the country.
Sushi by Bou’s Philadelphia expansion is a collaboration with local hospitality leaders Glu Hospitality and nightlife impresario Richie Romero. The partnership aims to enhance the local dining scene by introducing a fresh, lively experience that combines exquisite cuisine with a nightlife vibe. The venue’s “Disco Sushi” theme is expected to attract a diverse crowd looking for a unique dining adventure.
The omakase experience at Sushi by Bou features two options: a 12-course menu at $65 and an upgraded 17-course “Bougie” menu at $125. Both options showcase expertly crafted sushi using premium fish, sourced both locally and globally. Accompanying the carefully prepared dishes are handcrafted cocktails and an impressive selection of sake and Japanese whiskey, adding to the restaurant’s allure.
Operating Wednesday through Sunday, Sushi by Bou offers a seamless transition from a refined dining experience to a high-energy lounge setting. With live DJs and a selection of exotic cocktails, the BouBar promises an evening where guests can dine and dance, capturing the spirit of a vibrant night out.
The introduction of Sushi by Bou in Midtown Village is not just about expanding the brand’s footprint; it’s about setting a new standard in Philadelphia’s dining landscape. By integrating high-end sushi dining with lively entertainment, Sushi by Bou is poised to become a staple for both locals and visitors seeking a memorable culinary experience. As the city’s dining scene continues to evolve, Sushi by Bou’s innovative approach may well influence future culinary and nightlife trends in the region.
