Editorial Description by Citysearch
In Short
One of the city's most modern Asian restaurants, Douzo serves inventive sushi rolls and wicked house cocktails in mostly black, New York lounge-style environs. Indecisive diners select from a lengthy menu of familiar and unique offerings. Fresh veggie and seafood tempura--from Japanese yam to eel--are served a la carte. Several torch and hand rolls jockey for attention, and offbeat options include the pizza roll (tomato, asparagus, cucumber wrap and shrimp, toasted with cheese).

Best sushi I've had so far... 5 Star Rating - World class

By MizZim

The sushi was so fresh, it melted in my mouth. The waitress was wonderful & very helpful, and her suggestions were on point. Their Cocolate Volcano Lava and Banana Tempura were out-of-this-world-delicious. I have tried my share of Martinies and had not found a Martini I could say I like, but after having their Green Tea Martini, I can now say I have a Martini of preference. It was all worth every penny.

Cons: The directions given by map quest weren't very helpful.

Overrated 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

By ChoiChoi

Fish on sushi is quite thin. You are certainly paying more for the rent, location and the decor than the food.

Very Average Sushi 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

By aaa1aaaa

I live in NYC but travel to Boston every week and since I am a sushi lover, I go to Douzo (I know of no other sushi place near my hotel). I like the ambience but I am afraid the sushi and maki is sooo average. Too much rice on the maki---much more rice than actual fish. To top that, the maki rolls just collapse as soon as one picks them up and dips them in soy sauce. Last night, I ordered some miso cod--which is supposed to me soft and buttery but Douzo's cod was dry and overcooked. I can order better maki and sushi from the small takeaway shop near my apartment at 1/3 of the price.

Pros: nice setting
Cons: very average sushi and maki
