"One of Boston's most famous restaurants, O Ya, is still reliably glorious, even after running for almost 20 years. Tucked away near South Station, the omakase is opulent and decadent. But, the experience comes with a wink, with an alt-1980s playlist heavy on the Cure and the Smiths, with a little Lana Del Ray to keep things sexy. O Ya's only dining option is the $295 omakase (about $383.78 with fees and taxes), full of 20 courses of nigiri, sushi, and some surprises."
"One of the maki pieces is made otherworldly through a dark cloud of squid ink bubbles that hover above the fried Northern Belle oyster. It's brine-on-brine, with a soft and crunchy texture delivered on top of a sweet rice-nori bite. A version of the foie spoon has been served for a while, and it still hits. House-cured foie gras is frozen, shaved into tiny crumbs, dehydrated, and served on a wooden spoon with some miso and a sliver of preserved yuzu."
O Ya in Boston offers a single $295 omakase (about $383.78 with fees and taxes) comprising roughly 20 courses of nigiri, sushi, and surprises. The omakase features inventive presentations like a maki served under squid ink bubbles atop a fried Northern Belle oyster, and a house-cured foie spoon that melts with miso and preserved yuzu notes. Bluefin chutoro is served slightly thicker for two bites, accompanied by a small pool of wasabi oil. The dining room combines exposed brick, warm lighting, a long wooden bar, and a relaxed industrial ambiance. A truffle-topped fingerling potato chip is a recommended under-$15 add-on.
