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. From the knowledgeable and attentive waitstaff to charismatic owner Jack Huang’s pleasure at meeting diners, expect the comfort of being warmly welcomed at Douzo. Like the atmosphere, Douzo’s healthy and fresh cuisine seamlessly combines warm tradition and modern innovation of Japanese classics. Douzo offers inventive dishes that make the restaurant both a neighborhood fixture and a critically acclaimed destination, signature items.

    We had a great experience and dinner! The sushi and rolls were fantastic as were the two main meals we had. We would definitely recommend.

    Great experience. Excellent sushi options. Drinks are good. Our requested booth was in the back in a corner surrounded by guests already. We requested to sit at the bar which was empty and the bartender did an excellent job. I will definitely return. Wagyu may be overrated but I say that for the entire city, not just this restaurant.

    Probably the best Japanese restaurant in the Boston area (or at least easily among the top 3). Sure, specialized omakase places are great (and we've been to the best in Boston), yet Douzo offers many items that are consistently of a similar highest quality (pretty much all sashimi items) in a more relaxed ambiance...and of course the signature wagyu, X toro, and softshell crab tempura dishes. Prices are fair; not cheap but great value, and we know quality will be consistent every time (we've been there around 10 times, if not more, and it never disappoints). Personnel, including the manager and waiters, are always nice, very kind, helpful, and efficient (we always request Adam as our waiter!). In sum, although we now live farther from downtown Boston, Douzo is a place we'll keep coming back to celebrate, bring family, or just for any reason! Definitely one of our two favorite places in greater Boston (the other one is a tapas restaurant).

    The raw fish is not fresh, not professional as a Japanese restaurant. Will never go there again.

    Douzo is a nice restaurant that offers great ambience and good drinks. However the price for the sushi is expensive for what it is worth. There are better options for the type of dressed up sushi offered.
