Intimate sushi counter with 14-course tasting menus
"High-end sushi is great for impressing people. And hidden restaurants are also great for impressing people. So No Relation, a nine-seat sushi counter hidden behind the bathrooms of a tiki bar, is basically the restaurant equivalent of the Tenenbaum children. This is an omakase-only place where you’ll get 14 courses for around $150. That’s not cheap, but it’s about as cool a restaurant experience as you’ll find in Boston, and the high-quality pieces like sea bream topped with ginger and salted cherry blossom are worth it." - dan secatore
"It takes a little asking around to find No Relation, the sushi counter located in the back of tropical South End bar Shore Leave, but it’s well worth the effort. The nine-seat sushi counter offers a nightly omakase for $150 per person that includes 14 courses with sake and wine pairings (or you can order cocktails from Shore Leave’s bar during dinner, depending on how busy the bar team is that night)." - Erika Adams
"No Relation is one of my favorite restaurants in the Greater Boston area for its non-traditional kind of modern. I love the room, I love the vibe, and I love the cocktail that we always get before we go into the air-conditioned Eden. I really enjoy all of their sake and wine list, so I love that restaurant a lot. My wife and I go there quite often. — Jamie Bissonnette" - Tanya Edwards
"No Relation isn’t Boston’s best sushi restaurant, but it’s easily the most fun. A nine-seat sushi counter hidden behind the bathrooms of a tiki bar in the South End, this place only serves a 15-course omakase meal. The whole experience makes you feel like a yakuza-affiliated VIP eating in a secret restaurant no one else knows about. And yes, that does make great pieces of fish served with everything from cherry blossom and brown butter, to uni rice and jalapeno taste even better." - dan secatore
"Restaurants that can be mistaken for the bathroom are automatically cool, that’s just how the world works. No Relation is a tiny, nine-seat sushi counter hidden next to the bathrooms in the back hall of Shore Leave, which itself is a pretty cool tiki bar that will make you feel like a sailor working the spice route in the South Seas. The omakase costs about $15th 0 per person, which definitely isn’t cheap, but it’s one of the better omakases in the city, and you get it in a casual place where you’ll probably end up chatting up the other people at the counter and the chef making your nigiri." - dan secatore
