We have been to No Relation several times when visiting Boston, as we live about two hours away. We have never had a bad experience, in fact, we have always left there saying it is our favorite Omakase experience. The staff is always amazing, explains things very well, and are very accommodating. And additionally, they are very fun and engaging. We will be back!

Let them decide! The waygu at the end is an awesome dish. Can't miss on the miso salmon either!

One of the best omakase experiences we’ve had in New England. Creative, beautifully executed and paired with an outstanding service. Truly memorable.

The ambience and atmosphere was great. The customer service of the chefs and server were amazing as well. I really appreciated how warm and welcoming they were and the music selections. It's modern, vibrant, and hip. My only thing is the menu/food. While some dishes were pretty good, others felt lackluster, unbalanced, or just... something you could find anywhere. For omakase, I look for a menu that's cohesive, delicious and a unique representation of the place or chef. For example, some of my nigiri had way too much wasabi. Another example was the tuna tartare which mixed in uni and tasted a bit confusing. Overall, the experience was great but the food was okay.

Disappointing experience. Found a bone in the fish, major technical failure for a $225 Omakase. The chef was also inattentive, the wasabi was so overpowering, yet no adjustments were made. For a place that includes gratuity in the price, the basic precision and care were missing

Fantastic hidden gem at the end of the Shore Leave restaurant, a small setting for 8 people to go through a delicate yet vibrant Omakase experience. Somehow feel the price is a litle over the top, but still worth it on a special occasion.
David
Amazing food and drink, staff also super friendly and knowledgeable, was a great time, would do again
Jeff
Truly a remarkable and unparalleled dining experience. Beverage manager is incredibly well spoken and educated on her curated selection of Sake, and the Chefs are second to none. Genuinely a life changing experience that I can hopefully afford again sometime. While pricey, not once did I feel I was overpaying for even a single bite. Thanks again for making our anniversary truly unforgettable. Jeff+Sally

Our group of five had a notably excellent time - Hannah was absolutely delightful and really contributed to the ambiance and pleasant experience. The premium sake pairing was well done and each of the dishes was creative and well-balanced. We will most certainly be back. Logistically, it's inside of Shore Leave so we grabbed a couple tiki drinks before dinner. Very fun and festive for the holidays!

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.
This is hidden within Shore Leave - lower basement restaurant. Very nice omakase, the service is included. Strong sake list, well priced, limited champagne and wine list, with nice options. You really go there for the sushi - they have great options. The service is attentive and the interactions with the chef are fun.

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.
Emily
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!
Joe
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.
