About this business

Douzo means welcome in Japanese and this restaurant has certainly been welcoming guests on a regular basis. Creative sushi rolls and delicious cocktails are served at this eatery.

Go ahead and order a variety of these tiny treats and combine them with some of the unique sakes on offer. Afternoons feature an affordable lunch menu. The interiors are simple with a touch of elegance a... read more

Highly Recommended – The food and decor may be the best for Japanese in Boston. We sat at the sushi bar and highly enjoyed the chef's recommendations. The flight tastings are fantastic for wine and sake. If I wasn't driving home I would've stayed and had a few more. Really enjoyed the overall experience, you won't be disappointed by the sashimi here - it's extremely fresh

worth the wait – my friends convinced me to check out douzo despite some reviews we saw here and i'm glad they did. we did have to wait 40 mins for our table but there was plenty of room in the bar areas and it gave us a great chance to sample some unique sakes and wines. douzo has a sampler that lets you try 3 different wines or sakes in ascending order and we found the tast tests to be pretty fun. thumbs up for the modern decor and good beats. we thoroughly enjoyed the view once we were seated to our table and found food t... read more

My New Favorite Hot Spot! – The food here is a 10. This town has been missing fresh sushi and I'm glad Douzo finally opened. Dinner gets packed on the weekends so come early or later in the night. I live in the area and appreciate their later than normal hours.

Great, fresh sushi – I was surprised by the negative reviews that I read--I went to Douzo extremely excited, and I was not disappointed. We went on a Friday night, and it was busy, but was able to get a seat in the bar area after waiting less than 10 mins. The food was fabulous--the sushi and sashimi were delicious and very fresh (try the japaleno roll and the spicy tuna and the spider maki). The service wasn't the best in the world, but the bar was packed and our waitress did the best she could and had a great personality, ... read more

Great experience – I had a wonderful time at Douzo the other night. First, a friend of mine drove in and was delighted at the parking situation - garage parking for $5 with validation. I liked the interior of the resturant, too - very stylish with the simple and elegant Japanese aesthetic. We had some cocktails in the lounge area before moving to our seats. Our waiter was pleasant and knew a lot about the vast sake list. We loved the food - the sushi and sashimi was so fresh - and really beautiful - and the was tempura light... read more

Worse Hostess Ever – I would have liked to have experienced the food and Ambience, but the moment I walked in the door with a group of 6, we were greated with a cold shoulder and a miserable hostess. We were told not to even consider sitting for an hour. We went for a drink and came back an hour later, to find our name not on the waiting list. A 20 person reservation being sat which was news to us, as we were told they did not accept reservations by the same hostess. This new resturant needs a new beginning. Start with the f... read more

Long waits !!! – I went there with high expectations because Douzo is run by one of the co-founders of Fugakyu, but to my disapointment, the only good thing there is the hip, young and upscale feeling that Douzo gives. The wait there is at least one hour and the food is not worth the wait. The staff was not very polite to our party. I tried to make reservations and they just allow reservation for parties of 5 or more ! If you are a party of 2, they let you wait for tables of two, even though there are tables of 4 open ! It h... read more

Sushi--for those who don't know sushi... – This latest export from the Far-East is brimming with potential but fails to live up to the hype. It is the type of restaurant that one so desperately wants to like: grand and chic yet still beautiful in its simplicity. A place where hipsters, families, and power brokers can all feel comfortable, douzo blurs the line and repeats this theme as it occupies a spot on the back bay/south end border. The only problem is the food. Aside from new-restaurant-type service which has yet to smo... read more
