   I LOVE O Ya. Used to go to the NYC location before it closed. Now my friend and I travel to boston twice a year to experience amazing food. This is the best omikase experience m, in my opinion. Amazing food, amazing service - worth every penny.

   O ya is like the French Laundry of sushi. Every bite is perfect — thoughtful, intentional and layered with flavors. A truly unique, magical and delicious experience.

   I’ve been here 4 times and I’ve been blown away by the food and the staff every time. If Boston had Michelin star restaurants, O-Ya would be ranked at the top. Perfectly crafted bites of sushi that will leave you dazzled. The staff is wonderful and fully invested in making sure you have a wonderful experience. On of my all-time best meals ever, anywhere.

   If you understand what O Ya means, this is exactly what we have experienced tonight. Literally a What?! taste palette explosion on top of very tasty Japanese seafood dishes and absolutely further more. Of course you would dine here every day. However, the jolt of your much needed and unexpected experience beyond already delicious Japanese seafood is right here, and onl Our server was also exceptional and knowledgeable as well as enthusiastic.

    Exceptional food. Beautifully executed. Fantastic flavors. Generally a sushi restaurant but so much more unique and innovative. We hadn’t been there since before the pandemic and we were really glad we went back. I was wowed by the mushroom dishes in addition to the sashimi and nigiri.

    The food was absolutely amazing and the service was great — the sommelier gave us a complimentary glass of wine half way through the meal and told us all about where it came from and how it was made. He made the experience a very memorable one!

    Would not return. Delicious sure, but the service was lackluster and the ambiance was terrible. Extremely over priced $250 per person and all plates are one bite.

    NOT A Authentic Japanese Omakase experience! Over rated For $250 the menu was very average, fill with cheap fish, mushrooms, and some of the cuts were chewy. The desert at the end was terrible, label something sweet in reality it was just over powering yogurt. Finally at the end we waited a good 5mins near the podium just to receive our coats. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Personally grill steak at home was a better choice

    Having high expectations toward Oya while having several disappointments. Food is fine with certain creativity. However, the way of cooking is not very traditional with a combination of Western style. Instead of the display of original food taste, the flavor is too heavy and too much. One huge downside is the atmosphere and background music. For traditional or typical Japanese restaurants, a quiet vibe is recommended in order to enjoy the meal. However, Oya uses disco, a bar voice level around 80-85 db, as bgm. A normal and formal meal for Japanese Omakase is around 3 hours. Under 80-85 db, the music will certainly harm human hearing permanently.

    Everything was great other than one of the last courses that came with a “sip”. The sip turned out to be alcoholic and once I pointed out that I don’t drink, the waitress just took it away but did not replace it with anything. My partner would have been fine drinking it if there was no nonalcoholic option.

    All around enjoyable experience, but not worth the $950 tab (two omakase and one bottle of champagne). The champagne was delicious, and while each of the 20 bites were good, nothing truly wowed us. I’m very well accustomed to omakase, and perhaps I’m more of a purist, but it seems O Ya tries too hard to get creative with their dishes, rather than focusing on perfecting the rice and serving the best quality fish they can find. Waitstaff were wonderful and on top of everything. Hostess was oddly overly-chatty and informal when we walked in - just seemed a little unprofessional (perhaps we gave off a chatty vibe, so maybe it was our fault, I don’t know). With prices this high, it’s not unreasonable to expect perfection - and this just didn’t cut it. So while it was an enjoyable meal, I likely won’t be back anytime soon.

    There is a good reason it's considered the best restaurant in Boston. This was an absolute treat. The Omakase was divine and the servers were incredibly knowledgeable about each item and appropriate pairing. Sitting at the chef's counter was an added treat as we could see the preparation of each course as it came to us. Standout favorites included the Ora King Salmon and both cuts of Blue Fin sashimi.

    The food was exceptional. We did the tasting menu and wine pairing. The place and service were not at the same level as the food itself. For such an expensive dinner I just expect all the details to be perfect.
