We came back to O Ya to celebrate our anniversary after having such a fantastic experience there for a birthday a while back. Honestly, even with the high expectations from our first visit, it still holds up as the best meal you can get in Boston. I know Michelin recently passed them over for stars but that feels like a massive oversight on their part because the consistency here is wild. We went with the omakase and the beverage pairings again. Our server mentioned they started measuring the pours now, which is fine by me because last time they were heavy handed! The selection is spot on and actually adds value to the meal rather than just being an afterthought. The vibe inside is great because it lacks that stiff, white tablecloth energy you usually get at this price point. It is lively and loud in a way that feels intentional. The food isn't your traditional purist sushi. They play with flavors and textures that shouldn't work but somehow always do. We actually ended up adding the potato chip nigiri as a supplement because it was a highlight of our first trip and we couldn't stop thinking about it. My only real warning is that at twenty plus courses, it is a massive amount of food. I was struggling to finish the last couple of bites. Definitely skip lunch or just fast for the day so you can actually appreciate the final rounds. It is expensive but not out of the realm of other omakase in Boston and for a special occasion I haven't found anywhere else that competes.

What a treat! Perhaps the best portioned tasting menu I’ve ever done. The courses are innovative, clean, and delish! Lots of ways to customize your experience. Highly recommend the wine pairing as well.

Sat at the bar and had the full omakase experience. Dinner is expensive for the full set menu and additions, but the quality of the fish is excellent. Very unique fish and flavor selections tailored to adventurous sushi eaters.

Dinner was wonderful! We had two vegan tastings and the courses were delicious and diverse. We sometimes worry about the value of a vegan tasting at a sushi restaurant, but this one was very well-executed with many different vegetables and TONS of flavor. Really enjoyed the wine and sake pairing as well. Staff was lovely and knowledgeable. One of the nicest dining experiences I’ve had in the Boston area!

O Ya was good, but definitely not mind-blowing. We’ve had better sushi in a landlocked state — which says a lot. For the $825 we paid, the experience just wasn’t satisfactory. The sushi was fresh and well-made, but nothing particularly memorable or unique. At this price point, you expect something more elevated. It would feel more reasonable if the pricing were adjusted. The physical space also left a lot to be desired — we were seated at a bar table that felt old and worn, and my chair was wobbly. There was little attention to detail, and the atmosphere didn’t feel refined or special. Honestly, I would’ve been happy with the experience if it had cost about half of what we paid.
