XOXO Sushi Bar

I came to Xoxo sushi bar for the first time and had the salmon and cranberry as well as the chef choice nigiri and I have to say it was one my favorite meals in a long time. The food has the perfect balance in flavor and I was so impressed with the variety of fish used that I never tasted before. I will definitely be back many more times!!

We chose this restaurant for an anniversary celebration, but the experience fell short of its "Best of Boston 2025" title. While the decor is cozy and the cocktails and Madai Uzusukuri were exceptional, the positives ended there. The music was way too loud for a refined meal, and the service felt disjointed; while a rotating cast of staff dropped off plates, our primary server was nowhere to be found when it came time to actually introduce the dishes. We also ran into some quality issues: The Nigiri: Mostly pedestrian, but the Uni Nigiri was nearly inedible due to an aggressively salty seaweed wrap. Quality Control: Finding A BONE in the Shima Aji is an amateur error that has no place in a restaurant of this caliber. The A5 Wagyu Toast: A significant disappointment. It was overly oily

As close to an authentic omakase experience as it gets outside of Japan. The quality of the food (texture + flavor) as well as the presentation were all mind blowing. Service was also great. Dan was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu, being able to give a detailed description about each item he was asked about. Same & Q killed it at the bar too! I’m definitely coming back!

Wow! Completely blown away by Xoxo! We had such an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and the service was genuinely attentive (and really fun!) without being overbearing. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious — you can really tell how much care goes into every dish. The quality cannot be beat. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the quality and the overall experience so perfectly. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend to anyone looking for a special meal.

We just visited this restaurant hoping for a memorable meal, but overall it was a bit underwhelming. The food was okay—fresh fish and decent quality, but nothing that really blew us away in terms of flavor. We were expecting more exciting or creative combinations, and it just didn’t quite deliver. On top of that, the service left a lot to be desired. Our waiter wasn’t particularly attentive or helpful, and a special request for a birthday candle on dessert was completely forgotten. To add to the disappointment, the prices were really steep for what we got—particularly the dessert, which, despite having a little drizzle or garnish, basically felt like a single scoop of mango ice cream for $20. All in all, it wasn’t the worst meal we’ve had, but it definitely didn’t live up to the price or
