Uni’s late-night ramen is served Thurs-Sat after 11 pm in two great flavors. One is more traditional, with roast pork . The other, called umami ramen , features barbecue eel and a rich, intense broth. Read more

Slight step below O Ya, but w/better cocktails . Don't miss the Ika (w/smoked beef drippings), Hon Hamachi Toro (w/pork belly), and Spicy Tuna & Foie Gras Tataki. Tako in hot oil was great, tender.

Not your typical sushi spot : Great gourmet sushis . Even sitting at the bar is very intimate and perfect way to enjoy the delicately prepared sushi and sashimi . ????

Oyster with oxalis, melon and Darjeeling: Sashimi chef Tony Messina uses West coast oysters , preferably Kusshi, Kumamoto or Shigoku, for this preparation, which he insists is simpler than it sounds. Read more

From the minute you walk in the door friendly smiling welcoming staff from chef to hostess - genuine hospitality which is rare and to be envied plus ramen is incredible

Ben Rawitz

Have to get this lobster . And a side of Brussels sprouts . But honestly everything is amazing. A real treat

Sean Patrick

Much better than it is rated. The omikase is much better than O Ya's, and at a discounted price. They recently expanded their space and it looks great! Highly recommended

Amy Diaz

Late night ramen from 11pm-2am Thursday - Saturday. Get there before they stop serving cocktails at 1am. Get something from the "Mad Scientist" section of the drink menu by mixologist Todd Maul.

Barron Roth

This place blew me away. Get the chicken & (macha) waffle and dine in Southern / Japanese paradise.

Think long, rectangular plates holding tissue-thin slices of raw seafood dressed with seasonal fruits , vegetables , herbs, and esoteric ingredients, like Korean pepper threads. Read more

So good - absolute musts are the shishito peppers , popcorn shrimp , and foie grad unagi ❤️

Late night ramen starts @ 11pm and its good ramen ! Ramen was $10. :D they have umami or traditional. I'd recommend! I also tried the pork bun but the bun wasn't really soft. It's alright.

Heather

The food is fresh and amazing. The chefs put their heart into the food and it shows. Try the chefs omakase and late night ramen .

Mike G

Late night ramen is amazing. The pork bun comes with a glorious fried piece of pork belly in it.

(Best of Boston 2013-SUSHI) Improper Bostonian says, "Not your average sushi joint , unless average means sashimi so bejeweled and breathtaking that you'd never dream of soiling it with Kikkoman."

The Chiang Mai duck carnitas are on my bucket list and they should be on yours too.

Lillian Chan

pork buns , shishito peppers , sashimi and drinks are awesome!! <3 them! unfortunately ramen is not. my veggie ramen broth was so salty and this comes from someone who likes salt.

D J

The spoonful is amazing. Also, try the tostadas !

Seung-Jin Ham

the tuna ceviche is amazing! you can order it even if it's not on the menu .

Adam Besvinick

On Thursday - Saturday come for late-night ramen and the best craft cocktails in Boston.

Rachel

Authentic sushi . The salmon and tuna nigri pieces just melt in your mouth...

Anne Mai Bertelsen

Best omakase in Boston. And, late night ramen is divine!

Alexandre Munhoz

Fois gras and spicy on the tuna Sashimi was overwhelming. Toro nigiri was poorly cut (chewy membranes). Outside seating was extremely cold. Not what I expected for a $150 meal for one person.

Kenia

Everything we ordered was delicious!

Water Water

By far the best Japanese food in Boston -- much BETTER than Oya

Despite being part of the popular Ken Oringer restaurant club, this tiny sashimi bar in the Eliot Hotel still feels like a secret. Read more

I'm over this place. Good food but wait is too long. Servers are disorganized and messed up our order. Second time it's happened in two times.
