A brand new Japanese restaurant is on its way to Chestnut Hill.
According to a post within the jobs section of bostonchefs.com, XOXO Sushi Bar is planning to open this winter, with the spot featuring "top of the line modern Japanese cuisine, fun and innovative creative cocktails, wine, beer & sake mixed with a fantastic experience and atmosphere." The corresponding map for the place shows Misono, a Japanese and Korean restaurant and sushi bar in West Roxbury, so it may have some sort of connection to that space, though if we find any additional updates, including its exact location, we will post an update here.
[December 8 update: A press release indicates that XOXO Sushi Bar plans to open very soon (we were told in the late fall) in a space across from The Street at Chestnut Hill (at 1154 Boylston Street). The press release also says that the kitchen will be led by PABU alum Desmond Chow and that it will feature a rotating chef's choice omakase menu while also serving sushi a la carte and robatayaki cuisine.]
