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.

    The food at Douzo has gotten even better and the service is markedly better. Our server was fabulous! Attentive but not intrusive, extremely efficient without being rushed, knowledgeable, articulate, and delightful. Douzo also has been remodeled since our last visit, and the improvement is marked. There’s more of a sense of separation between the tables/booths and the noise level is no longer so loud as to make conversation difficult, although the music was still too loud.
