I tried Chirashi and liked it. Other rolls and sushi plates were very good, too. Being in the city center, all the menus are a bit pricey. Worth spending some luxury money to enjoy nice food, service, and city-life atmosphere.

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

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.

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!

The food was very well made and the service was quick and efficient. Would love to go there again.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Great and fresh seafood. We love all the dishes we ordered. My personal favorite is uni.

A Fresh mouthwatering experience you can't go wrong with this place! I tried a little bit of everything and it was so delicious. quality sushi. I got a chef's choice sashimi plate and a few rolls the chef went above and beyond to make sure everything worked cohesively and even threw in some touches comparing to some of the starters I chose. I just can't say enough about this place the atmosphere was great nice and calming. Try it you won't regret it!

Here is a list of what I got

Starters
Fried tofu
Tuna tataki
Garlic edema

Dounzo chef's choice Sashimi plate

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.

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!

At first I honestly thought it was going to be another expensive fancy Boston restaurant serving another sushi menu. I was very pleasantly surprised. It was worth every penny. The selection, quality and flavor was some of the best sushi I think I've ever had. Good service, nicely paced. We sat at the sushi bar and were amazed at the constant activity of 6 sushi chefs slicing, rolling, and serving the entire time we sat there. The atmosphere is nice and modern. The food is pricey but really is excellent!

Excellent. Absolutely zero faults with this restaurant. The staff that sat us was very accommodating, even though we asked to be reseated to something a little more cozy. The ambiance overall is very nice, modern, yet not cold. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. Also very willing to adapt to special requests. The food was delicious, particularly the siomay and the crispy rice. Very much looking forward to our next visit!

Food is excellent. The vibe is probably between average and good. It was date night for me, and we were overall very happy. Popular place, so typically a decent crowd. But the food is solid.

Calm pleasant ambiance, delicious food, beautiful presentation, fast service.

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!

The specialty rolls were amazing (we got the Mt Fuji and Phoenix rolls). The chef's selection special was great value for what was received. This is the best sushi you can get at this price point.
