We did the tasting menu. It was incredibly delicious! We also did the premium sake tasting. The sake was well paired with each series of tastings, but even better was the server’s depth of knowledge and explanation of each sake. I’m a budding sake buff, so I learned a lot. We spent about 1.6k on this birthday dinner, and it was worth every penny!

Our experience wasn’t the best, we thought for the value (1500$) for two people would be better. First, the food quality wasn’t up to par with other sushi restaurants in Boston. Second, we ordered the beverage pairing with both meals, the wine or sake was poured in the back, they then were brought out with the “bottle”. In my opinion it wasn’t a luxurious experience having the drinks pre poured. We are supposed to trust the restaurant we are getting what we paid for? Overall not a happy feeling leaving, we thought we could have ate a lot better for $1500 at another sushi or omakase restaurant.

So feel the need to add more of a detailed review of this restaurant, because of any restaurant, if I have to name my absolute favorite restaurant, it's O Ya in Boston. The price tag keeps me from coming here all the time, but it is worth every penny. The omakase experience here in terms of the food you get, the pacing of plates, the recommendations from the wait staff are absolutely perfect, and I don't drop the word perfect lightly. Come here, and you'll be guided along a food adventure unlike anything else you'll find anywhere in New England. The things they do with their plates are next level mind blowing and nothing else in Boston. The atmosphere here is not one that makes you feel out of place at all. Despite the price tag, you're welcome here in a polo and jeans just as much as a suit.

We had Hillary as our server. She was FANTASTIC! My husband had made a reservation for my birthday the night before and luckily we were able to get a spot for the next night! When we first got there we were un sure of how to get in but one of the hostess came out to assist. We were probably 20 minutes early for our reservation, the other hostess was extremely friendly and was able to sit us early. The food was spectacular! I will say for a 20 course meal try not to eat anything the day you are going. For small bites I was starting to get full after the 10th course. After getting a second wind we made it through all 20. Service, presentation, ambience was all 10/10. I highly recommend going. Thank you to the staff and the restaurant for a great birthday dinner and experience and to my husband for getting us a table. We will definitely be back!

O Ya had been a restaurant that I'd wanted to try for a long time, but it did not deliver on expectations. While many of the 20 courses served were excellent, some were not so good. On top of that, the atmosphere of the restaurant is not that of traditional omakase and it detracts from the special experience because it is so much more impersonal. The service was good and our server was very polite and helpful. At the extremely high price point and non-refundable reservations, O Ya simply cannot compete with alternative omakase restaurants in Boston.

Truly incredible. The ambiance is fun, the service was excellent (shout out to Tim), and the food is absolutely outstanding. This is definitely not your traditional omakase, but an omakase that creatively enhances each bite with new and unique flavors. Truly the best meal I’ve had in Boston. Would highly recommend the bar seating as it is so fun to watch the process happen. Also, we had an allergy and dietary restriction and they handled it so smoothly and confidently. We also were able to watch the vegan/vegetarian bites get made and they also looked incredible.

Our dinner at o ya was INCREDIBLE. We wanted to return the second we left and will be spending many birthdays eating here. Across our party someone tried the wine pairing, sake + wine, and sake pairing. All were excellent but the wine only pairing was the favorite.
