Speakeasy, meet sushi. From the back room of Izakaya Fishtown, Sushi by Boū dishes up a traditional 12- or 17-piece omakase experience with a dash of hip-hop. From its decor to its cool vibe, the restaurant takes inspiration from the golden age of the art form and Philly’s place in hip-hop history. Massive murals of the Notorious B.I.G, Questlove and Black Thought overlook the intimate chef’s bar as the nationally recognized master sushi chefs serve their choice of fish to the bars and beats of throwback rap classics.
