Douzo Japanese Restaurant

After hearing much hype about Douzo I decided to go for lunch recently. I was unimpressed to say the least. I asked the lunch counter gentleman if he could make me a small serving of seaweed salad with my sushi and he said yes, but charged me the same $6.00 as the large seaweed salad. The fish was good, but very skimpy portions. The sushi rice was bland and unimpressive. My Spicy tuna roll consisted of tempura flakes and spicy mayonnaise. There may have been some fish in there but it was honestly hard to tell.

Bottom line: I have eaten INFINITELY better sushi at half the price in this city (Genki Ya Organic Sushi, Super Fusion, etc). Some other reviewer noted all your are paying for is the rent at this pricey establishment, not the fish. I concur. This was my first and last trip to Douzo.

This was the best sushi I have ever had and the service was great as well.
If you are in the mood for good sushi and are in Boston, do not miss this place!

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

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.

I been going to Douzo since they open the door for business almost 2 years ago, Im huge huge fan of Douzo. great drinks & fresh sushi & great food, excellent service and freindly hostest. 3 hours parking for $5.00, very trendy, for the price you are paying for it, what can we ask for more, ,,,,,except they need more seats for restaurant , Keep up Douzo, Excellent Job
