Boston Restaurant O Ya Is the Best Omakase | Eater Boston

"Still reliably glorious after almost 20 years, this opulent, decadent omakase tucked near South Station comes with a wink—an alt-1980s playlist heavy on the Cure and the Smiths, with a little Lana Del Ray to keep things sexy—and offers a single $295 tasting (about $383.78 with fees and taxes) of 20 courses of nigiri, sushi, and surprises. One maki is made otherworldly by a dark cloud of squid ink bubbles hovering over a fried Northern Belle oyster, a brine-on-brine bite with both soft and crunchy textures atop a sweet rice-nori base. A version of the foie spoon has been served for a while and still hits: house-cured foie gras is frozen, shaved into tiny crumbs, dehydrated, and served on a wooden spoon with miso and a sliver of preserved yuzu; popped whole, it melts into a creamy pool of foie and miso with almost chocolate notes. The beautiful fatty tuna is bluefin chutoro cut a little thicker than expected—enough for two bites—with only a small pool of wasabi oil adding slight heat to balance the tender, rich meat. The industrial space is welcoming with exposed brick walls and warm lighting, seating guests at a long wooden bar or a few tables, and for an add-on that doesn’t break the bank, the under-$15 fingerling potato chip topped with truffle plays beautifully against the chip’s crunch and oil." - Tanya Edwards
