Douzo Sushi

Wanwan Fei

A years-standing date-worthy Japanese bistro perfect for presentable meet-ups with people you sort of know but not really know of. You’ll get to enjoy a decent, lightly boozed conversation and delicious Japanese food catered to the educated upper-middle class in a sophisticated yet still relatable environment. This restaurant miraculously resolves the dichotomy between formal v. casual, business v. personal, and fancy v. reasonable. After paying three visits this place spread over a decade, I wish it continues to flourish and serves the Back Bay audience to the same high standard it has always had.

Our experience started with reservations. We had originally placed a reservation for 5 people but last minuet had to change it to a table for 6. We called and let them know the day of. They were able to make this modification for us over the phone but let us know we could only dine for 2 hours maximum. I understand the time cap for adding an additional person last minuet, but I didn't like feeling that we might have to rush our dinning experience beforehand. We parked in the parking garage next to the restaurant. Something cool that they do is validate parking for 3 hours but only if you park after 5pm. This was not advertised on their website, it was just on a poster at the door. We parked at the parking lot only to go to this restaurant and arrived at 4:45, we asked for validation on our way out and they said they wouldn't do it because it wasn't exactly after 5. I understand that we were not there exactly at 5 but we got to our reservation early. That was a pretty disappointing experience because we would have parked after 5 if we knew ahead of time. They were quick to seat us even though we arrived early and the service was very fast and efficient which was very nice. Our waitress was kind and knowledgably about the menu and was very willing to answer any questions we had. The food is expensive for what it is. All the food had great flavors, I didn't dislike anything we ordered. But, it didn't taste very much different from other medium grade sushi restaurants I had been too. I thought I was going to be blown away because word of mouth is that this is the best place to get sushi in Boston. In the end, its just a good sushi restaurant with inflated prices. All in all, I would not go back to Douzo but I am glad that I finally got to try it.

Delicious food. They have gluten free options. I visited them for lunch. Smaller plates and more reasonably priced. Veronica was serving us. She was incredible! I highly recommend this place!

It is a modern or fusion typed of Japanese sushi with a trace of traditional sushi house. Restaurant is clean with practical table arrangement. Friendly and knowledgeable staffs to help and explain to guests. Convenient location near Boston Copley Place, and next to a validated parking garage. Foods are decent in portion, quality, as well as price wise. Reservation is recommended during peak hours.
