When diners enter this stylish restaurant in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay – steps away from the South End & Theater District – they are immediately enveloped in earth tones, rich dark wood and the airiness of high ceilings reverberating with the energy and excitement of the space. The lively bar area is a popular gathering spot offering a selection of cocktails, sake, wine and beer. Guests look on as the team of chefs create cutting-edge sushi dishes, or they settle into an experience of award-winning cuisine in the main dining area.

    A group of 4 of us went to celebrate my partner's birthday. We had a fantastic time, and the food was delicious. Thank you to Aline and Walter for making our special night out a great one. We will be back!

    Everything on the menu is great, have not a bad item yet. Been back multiple times for regular meals and special occasions. Douzo Special roll is very good, soft shell crab dishes are lightly breaded and tasty. Drinks match the excellent variety of menu choices. Will definitely be back!

    Excellent food and presentation. Definitely on the high end pricing but worth the experience. They have unique dishes along with traditional ones. Very nice and trendy ambiance. Love coming here when visiting Boston.
