Was on the lookout for a new sushi spot in Boston - and really enjoyed Douzo. Sake and sushi very solid - not best in class but very solid. Service was super attentive and helpful. Wish they had slowed things down a little bit- but was fine if you manage the pace on your own. Space was a little 1980s / high ceilings and austere with dark wood - in need of a refresh. In short - a go to sushi spot at 50% the cost of a meal at Blue Ribbon. Worth the visit.

Top notch location. Being Japanese and finding halfway sushi is honestly hard in New Hampshire but Boston does offer excellent choices overall.
The staff here are very attentive; not just one waitress but multiple employees that's constantly checking and making sure small trash items and empty plates are quickly whisked away.
Sashimi cuts and sushi rolls are great quality. Very fresh sashimi at the right temperature. The steam bun others talked about are a must have. It's very delicious!
It's a fancy setting but still has a nice welcoming atmosphere without feeling like you need to dress up.
We will definitely be back here again next time.

We decided, on a whim, to book a table for 4 people at 6 PM. Showed up 20 minutes early, no problem. Impeccable service from the moment we walked in and we decided to order various dishes to try, which I would recommend. The Toto sushi wasn’t on the menu but the server recommended it so I said yes. It was amazing. I would ask them for anything seasonal and focus on what you love about seafood

You could walk by this place and never guess it was there. It’s huge on the inside & pretty nice! One of my favorite sushi spots.
My absolute favorite appetizer is the Miso Cod. I get it every time & love it.
My favorite special roll is the Tasty. I’ve tried several and this will give you a taste of everything. Personally, I don’t think are worth the price… so I then order a couple orders of regular maki rolls which are all amazing.

Clean and modern atmosphere, amazing/attentive service, and delicious/fresh sushi!
As we entered, we were greeted by a friendly host who took us to the sushi counter seats as we did not have reservations. We each ordered a chirashi bowl and an uni shot to share.
Uni shot (Quail egg, spicy daikon, chives, ponzu sauce) was delightful but a little overwhelming in ponzu sauce.
Chirashi bowl had a variety of fish including 3 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of tuna, 2 yellowtail, 1 albacore tuna, 1 white fish, 1 eel, a small bed of ikura, 1 shrimp, and 2 eggs. The fish were very fresh and thick-cut. I very much enjoyed every single bite!
I'll be back to try more!

Loved the sushi, loved the vibes and loved the service! Couldn't be happier with everything we ordered. Service was very quick and they were so kind and friendly. The food was amazing, baos are bomb and the pork gyoza were so good we had to order a second round. Overall would recommend to anyone!

Excellent food with flavorful mushroom skewers as appetizers, nicely portioned bento boxes with fresh maki rolls, and yummy unagi donburi. Service was very friendly, and the restaurant is nicely appointed with high ceilings and a contemporary decor, although the shallow shelves on the walls and the walls themselves could use a deep cleaning, especially given the pricier menu selections. Otherwise, it's a very pleasant dining experience!

I love this restaurant. Has some pricey items, but some are affordable and healthy. Good environment, I like the food as well and the service is good. I only have a couple of suggestions:
1) Please ask the customer if they want forks at the beginning.
2) It would be good to rotate the tables in the middle 90 degrees. Otherwise customers would be facing the other customers and is uncomfortable.
Thank you!

This was the best sushi I’ve had yet in Boston. The location is modern and casual, the staff are fantastic, and the beautiful presentation of the food is only surpassed by the delicious taste!

Situated in the busy district of Back Bay next to the Amtrak station, Douzo sushi serves clients of many demographics. Friendly staff, responsible management, and cozy ambiance, it’s a great setting for business meal or family gatherings. GM Eugene and Mgr. Ton were very professional and took patron’s feedback seriously, evidence of a well-run restaurant.
The dish presentation was very nicely done, especially the Douzo tasting boat, and the uni bowl was very very fresh, worth the price. Unagi rice was sweet and tender, great choice for lunch. Lunch bento box was very reasonably priced with enough quantity to serve one person. We went for a birthday celebration and were surprised to receive a complimentary chocolate fondue desert for the birthday.
Overall, Douzo is definitely a candidate for repeated visits.

Slightly upscale sushi spot with great Japanese tapas and decent sushi.
My friend and I recently took a visit hoping to find another good sushi spot in the Back Bay area. With modern interiors and the menu featuring a variety of Japanese small bites, this place initially reminded me of Uni on Mass Ave. We started off with some bites, and the creamy and umami finish of the uni shot and the buttery texture of the XO toro were particularly memorable. However, other dishes ended up being just okay for the price. The sushi was also a bit of a letdown. None of the sushi pieces stood out as impressive, and the overall quality of the sushi from the Chef’s selection wasn’t too different from that of typical neighborhood sushi places.
Nevertheless, Douzo is still a decent option whether you’re looking for a casual or a romantic sushi spot. The regular sushi selections may not be the best option, but some of their small bites are good enough to make the meal special.

This place is flat out amazing. The atmosphere is great. If you want to hit the bar, dine with a couple of friends or even have a whole group. Loved the waigyu beef bun and the shorts ribs were amazing. They also have an old fashioned here that is on legendary status. I will be here again a recommend this spot to anyone.
