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.

    Very good Japanese food. Needs to have apecials to demonstrate freshness of fish. Prices are excessive for certain offerings. Salmon eggs piked in a lemon (about $1 worth) costs $12 and not worth it. A lovely lobster tail and uni is showed with two sharable pieces, but awkwardly served as one piece and unsharable had to be sent back. For a lovely lunch of shared delicacies woth a snall bottle of hot sake and green tea, cost was $250 for two including tip. A bit expensive for Boston. No rolls were ordered, but certainly some of the finer items. Still, excessive for this city. Felt more like NYC and higher end.

    It’s quiet, classy, and great for everyone whether you’re by yourself or with a party of 12. The food is amazing, and if I could, I would have ordered everything on the menu if I could. The waiters were friendly, nice, and always made sure my glass didn’t stay empty. Definitely a restaurant worth going to

    Our food was beautifully prepared and served, and the waiter was very polite and patient when he explained everything to us. We ended up having a more substantial dinner than we had planned, but there was nothing that we were sorry we ordered. It was fun to be able to watch the sushi chefs at work (all masked!)--they are so skilled and professional. It was a wonderful experience eating at Douzo--I highly recommend it to anyone who loves and appreciates real sushi and other Japanese delicacies.
