XOXO Sushi Bar tantalizes taste buds with unrivaled Japanese flavors right in the heart of Chestnut Hill. Our culinary expertise lies in Edomae-style sushi, a traditional practice from the 19th century that masterfully preserves seafood using a variety of methods. But we don't stop there! We infuse modern dry aging techniques into our creations to combine the best of old and new, resulting in extraordinary flavors and textures that will leave you inspired.

We invite you to step into our intimate yet energetic space - where an exceptional culinary adventure awaits you. Adorned with custom millwork, vaulted ceilings, and captivating artwork, our ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The centerpiece is our eye catching sushi bar featuring our Omakase Experience. From any seat in the house, you'll witness our skilled chefs expertly preparing your dishes. It's a feast for the eyes and the taste buds

The food was excellent, fresh fish and all other ingredients. Servings though are pretty small so more like “bar eats”. Also we wanted a side of rice but strangely, they did not have rice except where it’s part of a dish, like unagi. Place is best suited for younger crowd for drinking and hanging out, not really for a sit-down immersive foodie experience.

Didn’t acknowledge that we were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday even though that’s what I put for the reservation. They also tried sitting us at the bar when I selected a standard table (there were open tables). Overall the food isn’t bad, but it’s very pricey for what you get. You’ll spend a lot and still leave hungry.

I won’t call it a Japanese restaurant. Maybe an Americanized version.
