Sushi By Bou's Salt Lake City outpost sits inside the historic Peery Hotel, accessed through a concealed bookcase entrance that nods to prohibition-era speakeasy design. The space is counter-only, built around close interaction with the sushi chefs as they work through the menu.
The standard offering is a 12-course Signature Omakase built on Edomae-style technique, with an emphasis on seasonal fish. Diners can also upgrade to longer Bougie or Bou Reserve omakase formats featuring imported fish and additional courses, though the core experience follows the 12-course structure. A list of sake, wine, beer, and craft cocktails is available to pair alongside the meal.
The restaurant falls in the upscale price tier and is categorized as hard to book, reflecting its limited counter seating and speakeasy format. Reservations run through OpenTable, and given the compact size of the room, securing a seat ahead of a visit is advisable rather than walking in.
The restaurant operates evenings only, opening at 5 p.m. and closing at 10 p.m., with Sunday closures. Exact weekday operating days should be confirmed directly with the venue, as scheduling has varied between sources. The address is 110 W Broadway in Salt Lake City, with the entrance tucked within the Peery Hotel building.
