We came to No Relation for our anniversary and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences we've ever had in Boston. From the moment we sat down, it felt special. The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited about what they're doing — it never feels pretentious or over-scripted. Just real hospitality. The entire omakase was unreal. Every course was its own moment — perfectly balanced, thoughtful, and presented with the kind of detail that shows how much pride goes into the food. The fish is unbelievably fresh, the flavor combinations are creative without trying too hard, and the pacing of the meal is perfect. You really feel taken care of the entire time. The energy in the room is also part of what makes this place stand out. It's intimate, cozy, and somehow both elevated and relaxed at the same time. You get to enjoy insanely high-quality sushi while still laughing, talking, and taking in the vibe. Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels forced. It's just curated, intentional, and honestly — memorable. For a special occasion, this couldn't have been a better choice. We left feeling full, happy, and genuinely grateful for the experience. If you're looking for a spot that delivers on food, service, and atmosphere, No Relation is in a league of its own. We can't wait to come back.

Wow, wow, wow, we are well traveled and love food. Overall enjoy the special moments of connection and simplicity. No relation surpassed all expectations. The food was amazing and delicious with attention to detail. The chefs were artists and Chef Kyle We could have not asked for a more down to earth human. We will be following and expect greatness. One of the best dining experiences of our lives.

No Relation put thought and care into every course. We loved looking at the world map to see where all the ingredients came from. We were celebrating a birthday and they gave us a couple small pours on the house which was so sweet. Will be going back!

An incredible dining experience, from the reception and seating, to the chefs explaining where the fish was sourced, including what amounts to a floor show between each course. incredible freshness and amazing flavor combinations, 17 unique courses with flavor bombs going off every few minutes.

No Relation is a truly amazing restaurant. Our experience there for the Omakase dinner was nothing short of spectacular. The food was fresh and beautifully presented. The service and atmosphere were truly special. It has the feeling of a genuine Omakase experience with its extremely small setting and intimate feel. Overall No Relation is an amazing experience and beats out much of the competition in Boston, especially at its price point.

Best omakase I have been to so far. The fish tasted very fresh and I felt full by the end of the course that we didn't order the special nigiris. I will be recommending this to my friends in the area and to those who are traveling here. The omakase was a great value. Service was good. The icecream at the end was a great way to end the course. The chefs also checked in with us if we needed to order any more nigiris and asked our thoughts as well. Overall I loved it and cant wait to come back again. The sake pairing is a must!

Came here for the Omakase experience. I really enjoyed it - one of the best I’ve been to. Clearly a lot of thought and intention went into curating this dining experience. A small, intimate setting, which I enjoyed; I went alone but had great conversation with the couple next to me. Dishes came out at a great pace and were all delicious. The whole thing was elevated but not too hoity-toity.
By the way, if you’re having trouble locating it, it’s down the stairs and connected to Shore Leave!
One of the best dining experiences of my life. It’s very intimate (only 9 diners when we went), plus the hostess and two chefs in a small room. It was quiet but I’m sure with the right mix, people might talk more. We were celebrating our anniversary and kept to ourselves. If you want a memorable omakase experience go here. It was also the most “affordable” I found in the area but there’s lots of additions and courses you could add.

This is a favorite spot for my fiance and I - we've come here two separate times to celebrate our anniversary/my birthday (about a week apart so we often do one "big" date to celebrate both), and it's been incredible both times. Very friendly and informative chefs and sommelier/hosts, good music/ambiance, and overall just a joy to experience and taste such excellent food. They are also incredibly accommodating - I am not a big fan of uni (sea urchin), and with advance notice they prepared me the same courses as others while omitting the uni from the couple of bits that normally had it. Highly recommend coming here at least once, and budgeting some extra for drinks/pairings as well as supplements or additional rolls - we have added caviar and black truffle to courses in the past, and often get a repeat of one course as well as Wagyu. The bar that No Relation is inside of, Shore Leave, is also excellent and has stellar waitstaff and tasty bites. Our most recent time there, we booked a table at Shore Leave to have a drink and a snack prior to Omakase at No Relation - we loved it!

This was a lovely experience celebrating our anniversary. The food was great and met expectations. The sake pairing elevated the meal and was well curated. The chawanmushi was good and I’m not big on them normally.
The only odd part (I say odd because we’ve done over 3 dozen omakase and never experienced this) was the owner/ manager talking us through the courses. I’ve only ever heard directly from the chefs.
Outside of that it was exactly what you’d expect from an omakase. Can’t remember the particular course but one of them blew us away and opened up every sinus. Must try when in Boston!

We held a private party at No Relations. I cannot overstate how excellent an experience it was from planning to execution. We had some very complicated issues with some people eating sushi, some people wanting to order off the menu of the sister restaurant Shore Leave, we had some of the sushi people with many food allergies . Basically, we could have been viewed as a pain in the neck to deal with, but the entire staff, including the manager Alexy, was wonderful. The food was superb and everyone had a wonderful evening. I cannot offer a greater recommendation to No Relations!
