    Pad see ew
    Yara F.

    Walked in on a Saturday night with a friend around 7 PM and were seated immediately. We wanted a late dinner to share, and were happy with the dumplings and pad see ew that we got! The inside of the restaurant has a good amount of seating, it's pretty comfortable, and the service was quick!

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Stephon M.

    Pretty solid local spot. Eating in person is better than takeout. All the noodles are great. Service is on point too! Sushi was solid as i had a spicy yellow tail. I recommend the drunken noodles with beef. Ambiance is pretty nice here too especially at the window where you can eat and people watch.

    Vegetable Basil with Steamed Tofu
    Elias G.

    I've been to Sweet Rice countless times and am never disappointed. Usually I go for sashimi, a fish dish, or drunken noodles with tofu. I wanted to try something a bit more veggie-packed, though, so i opted for the Vegetable Basil; it was good! The steamed tofu I added rounded out the dish well with brown rice, and I liked it enough to add to the top of my rotation! As always, it was a bit busy but not loud, and the staff were very friendly; we did sit by the door, so it was cold with the winter wind, but nothing I couldn't ignore.

    The stingy amount of rice that the restaurant allowed me to have.

    Good flavor on the Tofu Avocado Curry dish but horrible with rice. Not even one cup worth of rice.

    Haven't been to Sweet rice in a bit but decided to stop in. Historically we have enjoyed this restaurant, but they must've changed something with their chef or food because we had a very bad experience dining here. Probably will not be back.

    Pad C-U with shrimp
    Olaedo E.

    My mom orders for takeout from here often and there's always quite a few people dining inside when we go to pick up. I really like the pad c-u. It's very tasty. The basil fried rice is good. I always ask for them to make my food spicy and they don't deliver, but the food is still flavorful. Their portions always vary. A lot of the time, the container isn't even full. The sweet sticky rice with mango is my absolute favorite.

    This is my go to Thai spot- it always hits. I get the crispy chicken drunken noodles -highly recommend. Their sushi is also really good and I love the Thai iced tea

    John H.

    I stopped in for sashimi lunch. Fish wasn't the best grade but edible. I wouldn't mind stopping in again, but probably for their cooked Thai menu. Pleasant staff.

    Panang curry chicken - tasty
    Ronny T.

    Interesting Thai and sushi bar(?j. We stuck to the Thai menu and enjoyed the delicious food. We had the crispy chicken, panang curry chicken, and Thai basil vegetables. Everything was good and I particularly liked the crispy chicken dish. Service was good and the vibe is of a local neighborhood place.

    Douzo Sushi is an upscale Japanese restaurant in Back Bay that focuses on sushi, sashimi, and…read moremodern Japanese small plates in a polished, stylish setting. We walked into a sleek, slightly dimmed space that felt more refined than a typical sushi spot, the kind of atmosphere that works well for a date night or a special occasion. The room was quiet and intentional, with a modern design that kept the focus on the presentation of the food and the pacing of the meal. The quality of the sushi is strong across the board. We ordered a few dishes and found the fish tasting fresh, with a clean texture that came through clearly in the nigiri and sashimi. The menu includes a wide range of nigiri, specialty rolls, and chef-driven items that go beyond standard sushi options. Dishes like tuna tataki, creative maki rolls, and wagyu-focused plates stood out for their presentation and attention to detail. Everything felt carefully prepared, with a focus on balance rather than overcomplication. What stood out to us was the consistency in execution. Even with a large menu, the dishes felt cohesive and well thought out. The flavors were clean and refined, and the plating added to the overall experience without feeling overly flashy. There were also cocktails and sake options that paired well with the food and made it easy to build a full dining experience. The main drawback is the pricing. It leans on the higher end, and while the quality is good, portions and value can feel a bit tight compared to other sushi restaurants in the area. Service was generally attentive, and reservations are recommended since it can get busy during dinner hours, especially on weekends. The staff moved through the dining room with professionalism, and the pacing of the meal was well handled, with courses arriving at a comfortable rhythm. Overall, Douzo Sushi delivers a high-quality sushi experience in a polished setting, with fresh ingredients and strong execution. It does feel slightly overpriced at times, but the consistency and atmosphere make it a solid choice when we are looking for a more elevated sushi dinner in Boston.

Now let's talk food -- because Zaku lets you choose your own experience. If you want to keep it simple, grab some sushi. If you want to take it up a notch, go for sushi and combo plates. If you're in the mood for something hearty, the entrée options deliver. They also offer wine, beer, and other spirits, so you really get to decide how you want to take flight. We ordered a variety: orange chicken with rice, a combo platter filled with everything from edamame to octopus, and I enjoyed shrimp tempura maki with bibimbap (they kindly removed the beef for me), plus miso soup and a Sprite. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The space is cozy yet lively, giving you room to relax and enjoy your meal. The menu is robust -- so many choices my guests had trouble deciding! Zaku gave great food, great service, and a great experience. I'll absolutely be back.

    Extremely fresh fish with generous portions in a casual, underground space…read more I think this is a reasonably priced establishment for the level of fish (phenomenal) and service (reasonable and attentive, but not like a fancier sit down restaurant) that you get. I am always surprised at how full I am when I leave! I'm stuffed every time. There is complementary miso soup with all of the bowls I've tried, outlined below. I really loved all of the bowls I've tried but my favorites are probably the Sake Aisuru Don and Kuromon Don. I just prefer more salmon to more tuna though, and they're all very good! Food: - Sake Aisuru Don: their classic all-salmon bowl! I loved the larger cuts of salmon, and I was pleasantly surprised that even the more pulverized salmon was flavorful! - Kuromon Don: loved the yellowtail in this! Each fish comes with two pieces (except the mackerel for which there are four), and I liked the sampler style for the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and izumidai. - Maguro Toro Don: so much tuna! And all such high quality. The otoro was so fatty that it practically melted in my mouth without chewing. - Sake Maguro Hamachi Don: a mix of salmon, blue fin tuna, and yellowtail. I liked the yellowtail in this a lot and found that it stood out the most from the other two fish in this particular bowl!

The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!
