Dozo Dozo

To all sushi and sashimi lovers, Dozo Dozo on Long Island offers the best sushi I’ve ever had, possibly even in New York City. I’ve had sushi in Japan, so I’m not exaggerating. The fish is incredibly fresh and worth every penny of the pricy menu. We’ll definitely be returning to sample more items on the menu.

The food and service are great here. The food is fresh and they have quite a few different selections that are not offered in any other typical sushi places. A bit expensive than other places but I feel like it's worth the treat every so often.

The food was very disappointing. I was looking forward to very good quality sushi and sashimi,but it looked much better than it tasted. It was a pricey learning experience. The fish was not fresh tasting. Uni sushi a la carte was $15 each and there was more rice to (prop up the height )than Uni. The Sushi rice fell apart as I picked up the sushi! I could probably find better tasting sushi at the airport.

I had an amazing time at Dozo Dozo! Every dish was carefully crafted, and the flavors in each bite were incredible. The staff was friendly and helpful, though a bit understaffed. The crispy rice was absolutely to die for, and the Dozo special offers the perfect amount of sushi for the price it leaves you feeling just the right amount of full and thoroughly satisfied.

Wow this place!!! Been wanting to try their omakase and so happy I did! It’s around $100 per person and you get about 15 dishes. The variety is great, all their sushi were so tasty. Service was great and the restaurant was beautiful!

My friend and I decided to try out the new restaurant, where we indulged in the delightful Omakase menu. The chef impressed us with his exceptional patience as he explained each dish and its ingredients. The service was impeccable, making our experience truly enjoyable! We highly recommend this place to anyone nearby!

American diners are spoiled. There, I said it. We're spoiled. We have too much to pick from - too much variety when it comes to eating out. Especially when it comes to Asian eateries. What's wrong with a Chinese place serving just Chinese dishes? Better yet, what's wrong with a Chinese restaurant specializing in just one or even two dishes? In today's Americanized food marketplace, restauranteurs have decided that they no longer want to identify as just one cuisine, because Americans like variety (and we're spoiled! There! I said it again!) As a result, your local Korean BBQ now also has to serve Vietnamese dishes, and the village Chinese restaurant must now serve Thai, and when it comes to Japanese - oh boy - the restaurant must serve a little bit of every dish that the Nipponese culture has to offer. Restaurants in Asia tend to focus on a handful of items that they specialize in and perfect; and nobody does it better than Japan. When you go to a sushi restaurant in Japan, you don't expect to find Chicken Teriyaki, Yakitori, Katsudon, or heaven forbid, Ramen, on the same menu. It just doesn't happen that way. Pick a specialty, master it, serve your customers and repeat. That's how it's done. If done otherwise, menu items become mediocre, boring and lacking. That's why so many Asian restaurants are just... well, boring. It's not that the food quality is bad, or the ingredients themselves are good - it's that they aren't utilized to achieve their fullest potential. In some instances, It takes an apprentice chef YEARS to master both a dish and the skills required to prepare it. That is why apprenticeships are so crucially important in restaurant culture in Asia. After all, you don't throw a bunch of ingredients into a pot of boiling water and call it soup... well, maybe some people do, but there is a SCIENCE to making GREAT soup! Anyway, I've gone a kilter off topic - but there is reason for it! Dozo Dozo suffers from this 'Culinarsus Americanitus' - they have too many things on their menu! Specifically, too many specialty items followed by too many mediocre things. This restaurant screams, literally SCREAMS, Japanese Omakase. Hardcore. Japanese. Omakase. It is painfully clear that the establishment wants so desperately to just serve sushi - and I'll tell you what - the sushi here is F*CKING AWESOME. The fish is aged beautifully, cut perfectly, served precisely chilled, and seasoned magnificently. The accompaniment ingredients are all top notch and selected expertly. Even the soy sauce on the table has been specially selected to add that slight extra saltiness should you want it, but it's not really necessary because it's already perfectly seasoned. And speaking of perfectly seasoned... the sushi rice. HALLELUJAH! It's SEASONED PROPERLY!!! Those of you who've followed my reviews know how much a stickler I am about seasoned rice. And those who know, know. It's the RICE that makes the sushi, well, sushi. If this place JUST SERVED SUSHI, I would tell you that this place would be impossible to get a table at. Here's where it goes wrong - the other dishes are just... meh. The presentation is beautiful (despite my Ramen being served with the spoon submerged in the soup. Tsk tsk - 10 points taken from Griffyndor). But the cooking quality is 'blah'. My dining partner (okay, FINE, my mother) ordered the Beef Teriyaki. It looked beautiful, but the seasoning was flat, and the beef was tough; overcooked. My order of Ramen had a chance to really shine, but it, too, was weakly seasoned. That is not to say that it wasn't flavorful - the tonkatsu bone broth had a nice flavor, but the salt seasoning and 'fatness' of the broth were lacking. The ingredients - i.e., the toppings - were just nonchalantly placed on top, and it was missing the Naruto (fish cake, not Shinobu ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village). And, not to nit-pick, but to nit-pick, the noodles were overboiled. Service was great. The interior, beautiful. I will go back, but just for the amazing sushi.

Second time visiting. Beautiful place amazing food ,really unique and fresh well made ! David was out servent and he was really nice . Service definitely improved since they open I highly recommend the crispy rice tuna and the hand rolls are all very yummy and unique.

Ordered the lunch special $18 for 4 rolls. Pumped to eat after the gym! I opened the bag and see only two trays. See pictures attached. I'm confused. Did I not pay for 4 rolls? I opened the lid and yeah, it's 4 different types of rolls with 4 pieces of each roll. So basically, 16 pieces which is 2 complete rolls. Did I just get played? Since when was a roll 4 pieces? I look at the yelp pictures and someone else had a take out sushi box with 2 rolls (6 pieces per roll) in there so 12 total. Unless it's 3 rolls since 4 pieces constitute a roll. Technically the definition of a roll is vague since it doesn't tell you the exact amount of pieces but I've eaten at so many sushi places and saw the yelp Pic so this was a bummer. I debated on this place vs others. Now I question if this is a Long Island thing or this place only thing since other sushi spots nearby also have a lunch special deal of $15 for 3 rolls or something similar. Unfortunately, minus 1 star for being different than the normal? Suggestion for them to ensure customers are aware? Sorry I usually don't discount a star for this but I was quite disappointed by my serving size. As for the sushi, it was pretty good. No complaints about taste, texture, quality and packaging. Loved the rice to filling ratio. The salmon was fatty. Restaurant looked very clean too. Order was made on time. Have I had better? Yeah, in Japan and surprisingly in Houston. How is this quality compared to other lunch specials? Pretty good and better than a few others. Would I be willing to pay this price? Yeah, if I knew I was getting into. Just a tad disappointed with the price for value of my lunch since I would've ordered differently aka more if I knew I wasn't getting 4 complete rolls.

Hidden gem in Syosset near dirty taco, taking on hand rolls as their speciality. It's small and dim in here but provides great ambiance. The food was very fresh and delicious and the service was fast. Came in just a little over a half hour before closing and they were more than accommodating. While I do think there are better sushi spots in the area, I think dozo dozo is one to try!

I just had a great experience here! So much so that I went back in the same week! The staff was super friendly and the food came out quickly. When one of my hand rolls took a bit longer than expected, I was given a complimentary glass of wine to make up for it. I recommend the crispy spicy tuna or crispy spicy yellowtail, SO good!

Some of the freshest and best sushi on Long Island hands down. Service is great as well. Their lunch special is reasonable and they do a great job with their sushi and sashimi

Great service, extremely friendly and super attentive. My Omakase,was everything I hoped for and thoroughly explained.The fish was the most perfect temperature and the taste of each plate served was amazing. I don't eat eggs and I actually devoured the egg tasting. My guest enjoyed their soup and the sake was lovely. We left a cell and when we returned the restaurant was closed but the gentleman host was in the lot and ran up to assist us in retrieving the cell phone. I really enjoyed my meal

A Total Joke of an Experience - Save Yourself the Headache We placed an order from Dozo Dozo through DoorDash, and after waiting over an hour with zero updates, the order was just randomly canceled. No explanation, no apology, no food -- just an hour of wasted time and growing frustration. We contacted Dozo Dozo directly hoping to get some clarity or at least a basic apology, but they were completely clueless and unhelpful. They didn't offer a solution, didn't take any responsibility, and clearly couldn't care less about the customer experience. The attitude was dismissive at best. If this is how they handle business, it's not a place worth giving your money or your time. Totally unprofessional and utterly disappointing.

Was in Woodbury for an event and decided to dine at Dozo Dozo for dinner with my family. The service was top-notch!! My kids were handed their personal plastic cups of water, which were tightly closed with lids. My younger one still managed to spill it all over the table and a nice wait staff understandingly came by with napkins and said "it's okay, I have kids too." They were also friendly and very attentive to our needs. We ordered the handroll set, sushi for 2 and edamame and everything was freshly made and so delicious. My only feedback is for the handrolls, which arent your traditional Japanese handrolls. Rather, they're in seaweed "tacos" which made it kind of difficult and messy to eat. Otherwise, I would return again and try other items on the menu! This time I will say no to water for my kids.

Service was top notch . Food was delicious. I came here for the omakase experience for $120. - @ 15 course deal. And well worth it! I'm not a fan of ikura. However, they made it super tasty alongside the uni..I'm so speechless. The best one I had tasted was the Toro w uni. And Toro w something else. Sorry I can't remember I was too bz stuffing my face. One would think 15 pieces of sush/ sashimi i? That's not filling! . however.... and I say this lightly.... I was super stuffed by the end of my meal. -no I was super stuffed in the middle fo my meal that I requested for less rice on my.sushi pieces. No need to trek to the city for good omakase. Dozo dozo is the place to satisfy that craving. By far theee best I've ever had! Needless to say. I def recommend!

Had omakase here, every piece was very fresh and delicious, a rare gem on Long Island. Although I loved my dinner, I was hoping for more creativity in each fish, I felt most of the flavors were pretty one note. The children were also very hungry due to the slow service, our server was running and his forehead had beads of sweat so I assume they might just have been short staffed for the night. It was a pleasant dinner and I would definitely come back for my omakase fix, hopefully things improved even more!

The place is intimate and cozy and their sushi is fresh and delicious! Love that they had variety of selection of fish and the cuts were generously served. Love that this place has ample amount of parking and its more laid back. My kids also loved the tempura udon. The broth savory and the noodles were super chewy perfectly cooked. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Def worth a try if you are in the mood for japanese food.

I got the sushi-sashimi combination. The sushi was fresh. One of my favorite sushi spots on Long Island for the quality of fish. The service was great as well. Will definitely be coming back.

Went on a Monday when a lot of other sushi places are typically closed. I am happy to report that the fish was very fresh. We did the omakase. It is $120 a person for 15 tastings. They also offer 10% cash discount. The staff were very attentive. The inside is very modern and clean. The omakase was a great experience with various different flavor profiles. I liked that the omakase included appetizers and dessert. Definitely would recommend.

Excellent omakaze for Long Island. Can't go wrong here. Top notch food quality and good ambience. Good choice for date night or business dinner.

Very nice interior and friendly but unprofessional service earns 2 stars. Zero stars for the barely super market level sushi. Actually may super markets are better ! After waiting 46 minutes for our meal, I asked for Wasabi? They didn't have any just some powdered product available. I unfortunately put a piece of uni in my mouth , I wanted to spit it out but refrained in public. I tried a couple of pieces of fish and a scallop. It was all tasteless and mushy. I sent back the entire platter for fear of food poisoning. I was really hoping for a nice meal ! I rarely if ever give a bad review but this is a public service announcement. The management wasn't professional nor apologetic. Perhaps they thought the service and sushi was acceptable which is scary.

We went for a lunch as the reviews were very good. As a Japanese most of the time we disappointed with the quality of food and we were very skeptical about here as only one table was occupied where we arrived. There is no lunch special and the menu is pricey. The tap water was nuke and no tea was offered as we expected. I thought I would be disappointed. We ordered a regular sushi and 5hand rolls. And to my surprise, they are very fresh and tasty. Hand rolls didn't look like authentic ones and too little rice, but new toppings were pretty good. I hope they serve teas for free like authentic Japanese restaurants and I will definitely come back.

This place is great! I think it's hard to find good takeout sushi on LI but this place definitely achieves that. Highly recommend.

Loved the place! Quiet, great quality food, clean and modern. Service was great excellent too!

Delicious! We went for the omakase but having been seated by the chefs, we got to see everything that was being made and if all looked amazing. The fish was extremely fresh and creatively plated. The chefs were very friendly and they explained each dish nicely. Our waiter was also very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is very warm and inviting but modern and clean. Would recommend for a group of friends or even a date night. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

5 stars for everything. Warning: that is NOT a dinner mint in the little glass dish! I'm glad we asked - it's a hand towel to wipe your hands, and it was kind of fun to watch it expand after they poured water on it. (Oops, I hope I didn't spoil the surprise!) I was reminded to add that there are a couple of spots on the menus are hard to see because they appear to have worn off. I could make it out if I looked closely, but I didn't care that much because they weren't dishes for which I wanted more detail, so it wasn't much of an issue for me. When someone eats stuff they normally pick off their plate (and not so sneakily transfer it to your plate) you know it's a winner of a place. They make their own dashi, and you can taste it in the miso soup. Normally I'm the only one who likes the miso black cod (it isn't popular with my dining companion because it can be fishy) but this one was a hit with both of us. Not too sweet, and fully cooked through, which is the complaint about Nobu's version. Personally I could have done without the Japanese mustard, which I scraped off, and then it was perfect. The sushi for 2: you get 10 pcs each, plus 2 special rolls. The thing with getting a sushi set is there's usually at least one (sometimes several) piece that is "meh", or there are a bunch of different kinds, but only one of each kind. That was definitely not an issue here! We got the Hakata roll (deep fried soft shell crab, asparagus, avocado, topped with spicy tuna) and Dozo Special Roll (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, topped with toro and scallions, with truffle caviar). No picking the asparagus out, we ate everything. I prefer not too complicated rolls, so I hope they will let me substitute rolls next time. Then we got seconds of the scallop sushi (which is also something I am the only one who orders), and I got a piece of the Hokkaido Uni - best uni nigiri in a long time - finally, crispy seaweed! It makes a huge difference, though I am still going to eat the uni sushi if the seaweed is a little chewy. It was good to get a partial preview of the omakase (oysters with uni and yuzu foam, miso black cod, and chawan mushi) - it's now on our list to try. This is the best sushi place we've been to on Long Island, and I am pretty sure we will end up here if we can't agree on what to have for dinner. (I foresee many "disagreements" in the future!) FYI, the sushi bar is all wood (see pic) so we didn't get to actually watch the chefs making the sushi, but if that's the only "disappointment" at dinner, it's a very good dinner! There was also a promotion on (10% off for cash). I don't know how long that will last, but I am definitely going prepared in the future.

I've been here many times (probably 7 including when they had a soft opening) and I would say in general it's very good. The last couple times it seems like the sushi is coming out soggy for some reason. Like the spicy tuna is not hard enough or cold enough. The valentine roll was mushy and as they get busier the service seems to be declining a little. I do think for this area it's pretty good and authentic and fresh. I will continue to go there however I think the rice and some of the rolls need to be looked at for consistency in texture.

Unbelievable quality, on par with some of the better sushi I've had. Highly recommend!

I really wish this new business the best of luck because the quality of the food is very good and the decor inside is very nice. We stopped in for dinner one night and we were able to be seated right away because we were the only people in the restaurant for our entire meal. Hopefully when they get their liquor and/or beer-wine licenses they will attract more of a crowd. The competition for food two doors down had no problem attracting a crowd and even had a few people waiting outside. Prices for rolls and almost everything in general were very high even for Long Island. We tried the 5 for $40 roll menu and while the food was excellent, the "rolls" were more like tacos in dried seaweed and served on one of those triangular taco gizmos that keeps everything upright and together. My daughter had a bowl of clear broth and some ramen inside-$17 for a bowl of soup- hmm. Rock shrimp appetizer was good but nothing super special. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we wanted for nothing as they were always available. On our trip there were 7 people working to serve the three of us. I hope they begin to start attracting a bigger crowd and again, I wish them the best of luck.

New place in the woodbury commons. Nice ambiance. Place is decorated nicely. Service was good. Prices are fair. Got the valentine roll. Spicy tuna. And a roll with fried oysters which was the best of the bunch. If you live in the area. Its worth a visit. They don't have a liquor license yet. So bring your own sake

Alright I think I found my new favorite Omakase spot in Nassau County today! I went for the Omakase chef choice special which ended up costing $120 in total. This set included 3 appetizers and 10-15 pieces of nigiri sushi and then I ordered a little more for good measure. What can I say I'm a glutton for punishment (in a good way) lol! For starters I had the oysters with some green form of ponzu sauce that tasted amazingly sweet and savory with a hint of a Japanese soda zest yummy! I have never had Japanese oysters taste so good before wow! They had Ikura and uni on them I think under the foam green sauce hidden in plain sight. Second I had the Miso cod cooked or grilled to perfection with that ever so slight char we all know and LOVE! Then lastly I had a mushroom soup or maybe it was a clear soup not sure exactly but it was hot and contained those nice shiitake mushrooms I like and the smaller ones as well with the long stems forgot the names of them actually sorry. After that the main dish came with all the nigiri pieces looking all shiny and silky the way I like it. The usual suspects were here toro, uni, sweet shrimp with the head, aji, horse mackerel, red snapper, egg custard, etc. Last but not least for dessert was fried ice cream tempura I chose the vanilla flavor very tasty and creamy. All in all I had a great time and for short measure they even added a 15% discount for paying cash and I guess for gratuity as well. I had a great time love the decor and ambiance of this place for sure I will be back there was more than enough parking. Please make sure to call ahead and make reservations and tell them NEV sent you from YELP. Hope this helps peace!

AMAZING!!!! I went with my dad and tried everything!!! Incredible food and amazing service! I wish this place the best!!!

Dined at Dozo Dozo in Woodbury tonight. Beautiful restaurant, more upscale and refined than most sushi restaurants I've been to on the Island. Had heard great things about the 15 selection omakase, but they couldn't offer it tonight because they ran out of some special fish selections. So we went with the sushi for two, which consisted of 9 different fish preparations and two specialty rolls (we chose the Black Dragon and Dozo Dozo roll). Wow is all I can say. Felt like Manhattan quality sushi at non-Manhattan prices. It even rivaled the omakase that I had in Japan earlier this year. I had previously dined here for lunch a la carte, it was good but I strongly recommend letting the chef choose for you for a very memorable experience. This has has spoiled us for sushi on Long Island. We sat at the sushi bar which also made for a more intimate setting, where the sushi chef was able to present his art to us. If you are looking for a more upscale experience, I recommend you give this place a try.

Very fresh sushi with excellent presentation and good service. They didn't have liquor license so it was BYOB. I will be back. Recommend the asparagus in butter sauce as a unique side dish.

Sushi excellent quality ! We didn't mind they did NOT have liquor license yet - we heard from a friend and brought our own - most people did - I did over hear a visibly upset patron that did not know - but otherwise pretty and delicious addition to shopping center

First time trying Dozo Dozo and let's just say I will 100% be a returning customer. The inside is so beautiful decorated and the bathroom's are super clean. The food came out rather quick, fresh and hot. I just wish they have more customers they deserve it! 10/10!!

Fairly new food place in the Woodbury commons nestled in the town of woodbury. right off Jericho Tpke The eatery is decorated nicely and lit well. Service was ok. Prices are on the higher side. Got something someone here mentioned being a good choice: valentine roll and a few spicy tuna rolls with extra spicy sauce. Parking was a challenge as it shares a lot with other businesses. Accessible and bathrooms were cleaned ( I guess other diners werent as respectful as they should have been with the receptacles). There are choices for every palate although be careful with your food allergies. This was why i rate they way i do. It is a serious problem for us. Otherwise nice experience. Was a long drive for us and not too many people here. Maybe offer some discounts or coupons.May be back...

We sat at the bar for omakase and loved our experience. First off, the ambiance was very modern, clean, and intimate. The service was exceptional and sushi chefs were very friendly and knowledgeable. Staff were very attentive. The quality of seafood and fish was also fantastic. Overall, I thought it was good value for the quality you get. I especially liked the Hokkaido uni.

The food at this place is even better than the beautiful decor. We were seated around 9:00 when they close at 9:30 PM. The staff were happy to serve us and were very attentive. It was some of , if not the best sushi we have ever had. We had a great first visit and cannot wait to come back!

Had an awesome dinner last night at Dozo Dozo. After recently moving from Forest Hills to Syosset we have been trying out various Japanese restaurants in the area in search of good sushi. Very happy to say that Dozo Dozo more than exceeded our expectations. Great service and fresh fish that melts in your mouth. Definitely will be coming back. Please note that their soft opening sign was still up. The place is not large but the decor and ambiance was elegant.

NYC quality sushi. Hand rolls are their specialty! Chefs from NY sushi restaurants. Really delicious!

Adequate free parking in rear. Reservations accepted. Staff pleasant and very accommodating. Was recommended by a friend to try this particular sushi restaurant in woodbury even though there were a few other nearby sushi restaurants to choose from. Very extensive sushi menu as well as dishes for non sushi eaters. Two of our friends choose Sushi for 2 come with miso soup and small side green salad. Nicely presented and delicious. Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

I have been to Dozo Dozo twice in the last month, each time ordering the Sushi for 2 ($100). A fantastic selection of quality fish, far superior in quality and technique than other high end places on long island. Special rolls are fine but are not the stand out. Get the sushi, sashimi and/or omakase. Service is top notch. Ambiance is clean, modern, and comfortable. I would definitely recommend.

My review is for take out only as I have not been to the restaurant itself. Too many local sushi spots are lowering their quality (most likely due to prices and economy) but this is unacceptable to me. Sushi is a treat and fish must be fresh or else customers don't come back. Who wants to eat fishy salmon? Not me. Searched on Uber Eats and found Dozo Dozo. Wow! I was very impressed. Have ordered 3x since then and fish is very fresh and packaging is beautiful. There is no place to pour the soy sauce (normally you pour it on the lid) but this packaging doesn't really allow that. Regardless that is the least of my worries. Thank you Dozo Dozo! Will be a returning customer

I eat Omakase at all the best places with Michelin stars all over the US. . This is by far the best sushi on Long Island. It's not even close. They have fish flown in from Japan. The Chef used to be at Blue Ribbon sushi in the city so he knows how to prepare the nigiri.

Excellent quality sushi. It is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. While they do have speciality rolls, this is more of a sushi purist type spot. That's not to say that the rolls are not good, but it's the fish itself that's the star. Staff is friendly and the place is brand new so it's spotless. Nice decor, better sushi.

Very good food. Interesting and unique sushi rolls. Friendly service. Take the Foodie card too.

Really fresh fish and great atmosphere. Definitely one of the better sushi restaurants on LI. Will be back!
