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!

I went for the Omakase. Overall, it was a great experience with a more Japanese style menu. We did a total of 20 courses. It comes with a preset menu (dessert included) based on your allergy selection which is very accommodating of them. You also have a few add on options and drink pairing add on. Parking: plan ahead, very limited meters/street. There are some garages nearby Ambiance: small with some tables and a counter. Heads up it will be a long meal sitting on a stool chair if seated on the counter. Food: great variety of good quality fish selection Service: amazing. The only thing is there were a lot of people for the number of chefs there so the wait in between courses may be longer than preferred.

Shout out to Tim and colleagues for a nice evening. We enjoyed the tasting menu and pairings (plenty for us without any of the extras). Food and service were great.

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.

O Ya has been on my Boston bucket list for years. I was consistently deterred by the price tag and couldn't justify spending that much on a single meal. But after being generously gifted a birthday dinner, I can say I think it's worth it for a special occasion. The 20 course omakase feels like it's more than just a meal - it's an entire experience, comparable to a dinner + a show. We were there for over 3 hours and left completely satisfied.  Each course was unique and inventive. Individual components were well-crafted and balanced each other out perfectly. The progression from course to course was well done and takes you on a beautiful journey with wide ranging flavor profiles. If you spring for the sake pairing, it is an incredible complement to the meal. You get one pour for every 3-5 courses and the selections truly enhanced the food. As a sake newbie, I discovered a couple types I didn't even know existed. Although expensive, it did feel more worth it than a single $16 Sapporo beer. The service and ambiance were both so warm and inviting. I know it's not the most accessible experience and I am very fortunate to have dined here. I'd certainly be a regular if I could!

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.

We came in on a super cold evening and the hostess asked if we like some hot tea while our spot at the sushi bar was being prepped. Our coats were taken for us. At the bar there are hooks to hang your bags. The restaurant has about a dozen or so seats at the sushi bar; roughly five tables seating four people each. We were lucky to sit in front of the main chef, it was a show in itself for the evening. The omakase had 20 items total, the last one being a dessert. There are plenty of great itemized descriptions in other yelp reviews, so I'll keep to the general overall experience. The freshness of all the ingredients, was what I would expect, from a place of this caliber. The culinary inventiveness & cuisine fusion is refreshing and fun. A few favorite ingredients were the urchins and truffles. A few of the favorite dishes were the Hamachi; really well played with the Viet flavors, thai basil, and fried shallots. The Bay Scallops in the sake sea urchin jus was amazing in flavors and texture. For the most part, the flavors for each piece were incredibly balance. A few of the items were not as attention to detail. The bluefin maguro & Kyoto mushrooms were over powered by the salt/soy sauce. I expected to taste the Kyoto mushrooms as the prominent flavor with salt to enhance the mushroom flavor; we were not able to taste the mushroom or anything else. The Yuzu broth was dominated by red pepper flakes. Sadly, no other flavors came through from the broth. The experience was fantastic. The staff is very attentive. I'm glad I finally went. Parking is street, give yourself enough time to find parking.
