This used to be my favorite sushi restaraunt, where I took all my friends and family whenever they visited and spent a ton of money there, as the food there is really quite expensive. Had two really horrible service experiences there, last one where the manager/waiter got a horrible attitude when we declined the "tasting menu" (that wasn't printed anywhere), and then was extremely slow with our order, and just didn't serve us, leaving dirty dishes on the table for us to pile up, and ignoring our table & basic service requests (like our check please). Then he gave himself over 20% tip (yes he wrote it onto our credit card statement for us to sign). He just lost 6 customers that used to dine there almost biweekly.

Great food, great atmosphere, would highly recommend you try it out. Also they always have a variaety of interesting drink and appetizer specials to try. Going there for my sisters birthday dinner tomorrow night, and I can't wait.

Salmon meets sea urchin in a wonderful way

Much attention has been paid to the superbly executed dishes. Highly recommended for Japanese fare and iconoclastic sushi. If you have a hard time stomaching hipsters in general, just stay out of Williamsburg and be contained to your local New Jersey mall. The food, as well as the Sochu, is not to be missed. I highly recommend the Ho-Ho pot, any of the Nabe dishes, and the salmon-sea urchin appetizer. A+

Not traditional, but still pretty good

The food at Bozu tends to lean a little heavily on the fusion trend, but I found the overall experience to be fun and satisfying. Although they have some of the more typical sushi rolls on the menu, they also offer sushi "bombs," which are reminiscent of Osaka-style sushi. Of the warm dishes I've tried, I particularly like the pork belly and fried chicken. Haven't had a chance to sample any cocktails, but their sake selection is good (and a bit pricey). Bozu really isn't going to hit the spot if you're looking for traditional Japanese cuisine, but this place is certainly worth a try if you're in the mood for something different.

I didn't actually eat here when I went, but I plan to return. They finally have their alchohol license and the shochu is absolute delicious. You must try the cumquat shochu infusion when you go if you enjoy a light fruity refreshing drink, otherwise there is a wide range of saki and other Japanese drinks to choose from. Luckily for me that night they now take credit cards. The staff is attentive and friendly. This is a great place to meet up with groups of friends. Enjoy it.
