Had a reservation at Booze Box. Their cocktail list was excellent. Decided to try some of their dishes and we were not... disappointed. We were thoroughly impressed with their dishes and even tried some drinks that were off the menu. The staff(Jennifer) went beyond our expectations and had us excited to visit again. Very recommended, would want to make another visit. Read more

Came on a Sunday evening and there was no wait at all. I sat at the bar and it was fun watching the chefs make their food. I... ordered the Daisy Roll and a bowl of ramen. Both are really good, the roll is a bit spicy so beware if you can’t handle spice.Overall, I’d say that it was a bit expensive, both items came out to be $35 which seems a bit much for just one person.

Fantastic Japanese food! We had miso-tuna sushi, spicy karage, tempura, and even a matcha cocktail. Lastly, special shout-out to... the vegetarian “chef’s special”. It was hands down the best vegetarian sushi roll I’ve ever eaten and really appreciatedhow accommodating the restaurant was to different dietary needs. Read more

Drinks were OK, nothing bad but wasn't impressed with the cocktails. The okonomiyaki was a nice shared starter. Unfortunately... though, some of the worst sushi I've had including that from a Kroger in Kentucky. Would be perfect for someone who's looking totaste nothing but added flavors used to mask low quality fish. Read more

Definitely need a reservation for this place. That said I came on a Friday night without one and waited 15 minutes for a spot at... the bar which I think was a cooler experience because we got to see the chefs roll the sushi. The restaurant itself is smallerthan that I expected with tables placed incredibly close to one another. But the vibe is very lively and a great late nightdinner spot right next to soho house. The rolls itself were good — nothing absolutely amazing about them. The seafood wasfresh but the rolls itself were lacking flavor other than the freshness of the fish. There is a crispy rice on their secret menuthat I want to try that did look amazing. Otherwise I’d rather go to my local sushi spot than come here. Read more
