XOXO Sushi Bar
Day 1: 5-Course Edo-Inspired Omakase Tasting Series
Opened in March of 2024, this Chestnut Hill eatery was a 2025 Boston Magazine “Best of Boston” Award-Winner and was named to Eater’s 2025 List of “Best Sushi in Boston.” Chef Kegan Stritchko is a sushi ace with more than a decade of experience under his belt, notably with stints at Uni and Fat Baby. At XOXO, he is practicing Edomae-style sushi, a traditional practice from the 19th century that masterfully preserves seafood using a variety of methods. XOXO infuses modern dry aging techniques into its creations to combine the best of old and new, resulting in extraordinary flavors and textures. From any seat in this modern izakaya setting, diners can watch the chefs expertly preparing dishes, making XOXO a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. “Casually elegant, modern, and cozy…a great addition to Chestnut Hill [with] some of the best sushi I ever tasted,” raves Passionate Foodie. If you love sushi—and don’t we all?—then you won’t want to miss what promises to be a very special event. See you there!
