“ We've been to quite a few Michelin star restaurants and omakase's and O ya might have been our favorite omakase and one of our favorite restaurant experiences of all times. First off, it is conveniently located with plenty of paid street parking. The interior is more laid back and trendy than I was expecting. Definitely a great vibe (not stuck up like some fancy restaurants). The waitress came over and started explaining the menus and add ons. The meal is quite expensive, so we didn't do any add ons, but for a very very special night out they really did have a lot of options for up charges. Our waitress (and all of the staff) were excellent. They even printed out a special menu for me because some of my items were modified since I'm dairy free. Each bite was a truly unique experience. The fishes were unique and eat had a topping and/or accoutrement that enhanced the fish. There were no misses, as every dish was as good as the last (and as unique). The staff explained all of the dishes as well which really enhanced the experience. We were truly blown away by this experience. If you are in Boston and like raw fish, you need to give O Ya a try for your next celebration. ”

“ The meal of the year for me. If Boston paid Michelin to visit, this would have a couple of stars. The ambience/atmosphere is low key fancy modern with dim room with pleasant feature lighting. Love the bar area. The low top tables are nice but nothing over the top. The focus is on the meal, and I'm here for it. Service was phenomenal. Our server was a little irreverent and we loved it. He was on top of the offerings, gave his opinion when asked (love it when people are direct!) with whys, and super flexible as needed. Exactly the kind of experience you'd want to ensure a 5 star experience. Food came out at the cadence you'd hope for multicourse experience. Food: just wow. Quality, temperature, plating. All wow. I'm still thinking about this meal on a weekly basis. I'd say more but less is more and I'm at a loss for words. Appreciated the upgrade options. Companion loved the vegetarian options, and she usually is disappointed with vegetarian tasting menus that usually lack creativity and just sub a bland veg for a protein. Not here. Major wow factor achieved. Tough customer is very pleased. Drink: the pairings were done very well. I appreciated that they weren't intimidated to have some inexpensive options that paired very well. All about accessibility and helps for me to have followed up and gotten a few bottles. They even helped tell me the purveyors with contact info to get them! Price: it's expensive. You know it is. And I'd pay it again and hope to again soon. When you pay this much, you want a standout tasting menu. They outdid themselves. This is my new go to big celebration spot. Bravo! ”

“ Certainly a unique food experience in Boston that came highly recommended. I didn't like you have to pre-pay completely up front ($700 for 2 people). With no option to change the reservation.. emergencies and things happen and I find this to be a bit insensitive. Upon arrival we were seated at a table near the front door, fine but the vibe is different at the tables as opposed to the chefs counter. I did hear it's hella uncomfortable to sit up on those backless stools that long so maybe for the best. I found the service overall to be very good but seems we were not tended to as much as the night went on. Food was great & certainly a more relaxed, unique take on omakase. We liked everything with the exception of a few pieces. The nigiri offerings were lovely but we really found their use of wasabi on them to be very aggressive. It wasn't necessary and took away from the flavor components. As others have mentioned, the time you are here is kind of crazy. We arrived at 7 and weren't walking out until just after 10. I really feel like they have some figuring out to do regarding timing/coursing. At the beginning the pace was great but at our about 6th course, we didn't receive the 7th for 25 mins. Bizarre. I'm glad we came and had the experience but it's not somewhere I'd frequent often. Nearly $1k for two people (who only had 2 add-ons total & 2 drinks each) is steep for what you receive. ”

“ An absolute MUST in Boston if you love a surprising tasting menu. Our server was amazing. We sat at the counter and were kind of squeezed into the corner so I feel they could've spaced everyone out a bit better to prevent this from being an uncomfortable spot. Nonetheless, the restaurant is beautiful overall. The chopstick rests are so cute!! They all seemed to be different too The food was absolutely amazing. Most are 1 bite type of dishes and the flavor profiles were all so well balanced. I honestly do not feel there was a single bite we did not love. See the pics for some delicious foodporn. ”

“ Attentive and friendly service. Awesome food. So this is more fusion than traditional omakase. So if you come in thinking it is you'll be turned off. This is a fun menu with great cuts of fish with flavorful sauces and toppings. So if traditional omakase is a whisky tasting o ya is more a cocktail tasting if that makes sense. I enjoyed every dish. I added the potato chip, uni toast, and the A5 wagyu. I suggest all of them if in your budget. I would highly recommend giving this place a shot and enjoy a menu that doesn't take itself to seriously but still maintains a super high level. 5/5 highly recommended. ”

“ A hidden gem in the streets of Boston. With an inconspicuous exterior, O ya offers a satisfying 20-course omakase in a calming yet vibrant setting. The 20-course meal takes an individual on a gastronomic experience. Each dish is made with the highest quality of ingredients. Sashimi slices melt in one's mouth and flavors are deep and refreshing. Expensive? Yes. But I would recommend dining at O ya at least once in your lifetime. It is worth it! ”

“ Celebrating our anniversary, my partner and I indulged in the Omakase tasting menu the drink pairing at O Ya, and it was an absolute highlight. The ambiance was a serene yet vibrant atmosphere, setting the stage for an unforgettable culinary experience. The servers at O Ya were warm, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. We got to ask questions about the food and wines and were met with a deep understanding and care for the menu. I'd highly recommend the tasting menu. Each course was had different but complementary flavors and textures that showcased the freshest ingredients and innovative culinary techniques. The drink pairings were equally impressive, enhancing the flavors of each dish with precision and creativity. What truly set O Ya apart from other tasting menus I've tried was its ability to balance sophistication with approachability. Despite being a fine dining establishment, there's an air of ease and warmth that makes guests feel welcome and at home. For anyone seeking an unparalleled culinary adventure, O Ya is an absolute must-visit destination in Boston. ”

“ This is a Omakase style restaurant which means "it is up to the chef". The chef determines the content of each one bite course. I like sushi so the 20 course meal was great for my palate. I was doubting that 20 courses could be served without being seated for 4 hours but alas, each course arrived promptly after the finished plates were removed. I felt like this was an experience rather than a dinner. There isn't a traditional dinner flow to the evening. The course arrives, you get the overview, server leaves, you eat your one bite, the server appears and takes away your plate. Repeat 20 times. It is fun and delicious. The beverages are crazy expensive. Stunning in fact. So, not a place to focus on getting a bottle of wine. Have a beer or glass of wine. Service was spectacular. Friendly, extremely accommodating, knowledgeable about every dish and best of all..they kept the meal moving. Overall I am happy to have had the opportunity to try this multi year best of Boston restaurant. Pricing is impressive but so was the food. This is a good place to go for a special evening with friends; wealthy friends. ”
