The Best Dishes Eater Boston’s Editor Ate in July 2025 | Eater Boston

"There’s a new omakase spot called Yoshida that just opened up in Back Bay, and I got an invite to its eye-popping opening collaboration dinner with chef Tadashi Yoshida (he’s not involved with the new spot but is the force behind NYC’s Yoshino, which former New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells declared the best restaurant in the city in 2022). The dinner, priced at $500 per person, was a gilded parade of one luxury bite after another, but the mackerel stole the show: kissed with burning-hot charcoal, then laid over rice, wrapped in nori, and presented to each diner, so the fatty oils drip down into the rice for a creamy, extra-rich effect and the fish melts like butter in my mouth. Yikes, it was good." - Erika Adams
