O Ya Boston Reviews from The Last Year
Our anniversary meal was wonderful.
4 of us, one with shellfish allergy. Very smoothly handled. Service helpful but never intrusive. The many courses were terrific--highly recommend for special occasions (given $$$). And we enjoyed exploring wine and saki list, left happy.

I've never encountered a restaurant with such an insane reservation policy. You are required to pay for the entire meal during booking, including a mandatory 20% tip. If you are ill or have an emergency they will not refund or let you reschedule no matter how far in advance you give notice. They won't even refund the TIP. Yes you're tipping a waiter for a meal you never ate. Their website equates the reservation with an "experience" like getting a concert ticket - calm down O Ya, you're a restaurant not Taylor Swift. The person at the table next to us was visibly ill and coughing. Clearly health and safety isn't a priority here - nor is customer service. The food is good but nothing outstanding and the portions of sashimi and sushi are offensively small - think tiny slivers of fish in sauce and miniature sushi. There are several upcharge options littered through the menu. The foie gras, toro, and sea urchin were stand out dishes - but as for the rest they rely heavily on torched and smoked flavors, truffle and shisho. I don't think I got the chance to truly enjoy the flavors of the sashimi itself. Worse, for a sushi place this hyped and expensive, what I really looked forward to was a variety of raw fish options that one would not find at a typical Japanese restaurant. It just wasn't all that special, and the selection minimal. The restaurant is very small and the tables are just a few inches apart from one another. The decor is upscale but most of the diners were in casual wear so I wouldn't say the vibes were fancy or anything. We actually felt a little overdressed. The person next to us was visibly ill - I don't blame them for coming anyway because of the unforgiving reservation policy. Another person pulled out a mask. The service was friendly, very chatty, but slow at times. The entire omakase took 2.5 hours. Most of the time was spent waiting for the next tiny bite and there weren't any apologies or stop-gap dishes to make up for the delays. At one point we waited 30 minutes for the next course. Overall this is an overpriced restaurant that has little respect for its customers who booking two months in advance may have to reschedule a weeknight dinner. If you're looking for a high end Japanese dining "experience" there are way better options in Boston.
I'd give this place 3 stars.
In short, at ~360/person you expect to be blown away in some way and we simply weren't and the meal just wasn't that memorable in any dimension. Theres a right price for everything and if this was more like 200/person it wouldve made much more sense. If someone else is paying for it, definitely do it but if you are paying then I would not recommend. - decor: it's very relaxed and casual with loud pop ish music all night long, but in any case I expected more luxe experience and this was not. - service: service is okay, again nothing special - food: most courses were heavily flavored with various sauces and condiments that it was often difficult to really appreciate the fish. Also the portions are pretty small especially the sushi. In my opinion it's absolutely unacceptable to feel rather hungry after a 18 course meal but we were. We were also disappointed with the mochi donut as dessert. It's all good food, just not worthy of the price they are charging. - nickling and diming: also a bit of a turnoff to be charging 10 dollars per regular small 300ml bottle of San pellgrinos.
O Ya has been on my Boston bucket list for years.
I was consistently deterred by the price tag and couldn't justify spending that much on a single meal. But after being generously gifted a birthday dinner, I can say I think it's worth it for a special occasion. The 20 course omakase feels like it's more than just a meal - it's an entire experience, comparable to a dinner + a show. We were there for over 3 hours and left completely satisfied. Each course was unique and inventive. Individual components were well-crafted and balanced each other out perfectly. The progression from course to course was well done and takes you on a beautiful journey with wide ranging flavor profiles. If you spring for the sake pairing, it is an incredible complement to the meal. You get one pour for every 3-5 courses and the selections truly enhanced the food. As a sake newbie, I discovered a couple types I didn't even know existed. Although expensive, it did feel more worth it than a single $16 Sapporo beer. The service and ambiance were both so warm and inviting. I know it's not the most accessible experience and I am very fortunate to have dined here. I'd certainly be a regular if I could!

This is a Omakase style restaurant which means "it is up to the chef". The chef determines the content of each one bite course. I like sushi so the 20 course meal was great for my palate. I was doubting that 20 courses could be served without being seated for 4 hours but alas, each course arrived promptly after the finished plates were removed. I felt like this was an experience rather than a dinner. There isn't a traditional dinner flow to the evening. The course arrives, you get the overview, server leaves, you eat your one bite, the server appears and takes away your plate. Repeat 20 times. It is fun and delicious. The beverages are crazy expensive. Stunning in fact. So, not a place to focus on getting a bottle of wine. Have a beer or glass of wine. Service was spectacular. Friendly, extremely accommodating, knowledgeable about every dish and best of all..they kept the meal moving. Overall I am happy to have had the opportunity to try this multi year best of Boston restaurant. Pricing is impressive but so was the food. This is a good place to go for a special evening with friends; wealthy friends.

I mean, it's not cheap, especially the wine list, but the food is like nothing I've ever had. Amazing experience, especially since I wasn't the one picking up the tab.
I don't know where to begin.
The sushi is unlike anything I've ever had paired with incredible service. The restaurant is very cozy with bar seating in addition to dining tables. Make your reservations months in advance!

BE WARE!! DO NOT GO!!! Made reservation 2 months ahead of time. Unfortunately I was hospitalized at Yale Hospital in CT. right before reservation date. When we contacted them about the emergency and need to cancel we were refused the refund on the deposit. They were insensitive rude and inhuman to the my medical situation. The deposit was substancial(600$) and we gave enough notice so they could book another party. I have reached out via email to restaurant again and got one response stating that they use a booking service and would look into it. NO FURTHER RESPONSE. I will be lodging a complaint to the city of Boston and state of MA./consumer affairs. CT patient

I really wanted to like this place more based on all the prior accolades. The presentation for all dishes were excellent and clearly superb techniques were used. I just wish the flavors were more there. A lot of the dishes or thr current menu were overpowered by the additions of too much salt or truffle. Truffle seemed overdone actually. I love truffle but in a course it should strike a couple courses at most to highlight those dishes. Also I was expecting more from courses like the Toro since it is euch a fatty, delectable cut. This course was just undercut by the additions and the Toro didn't come through. A lot of the courses I think the fish, which I think should be the central feature of omakase, was muted by the added ingredients. Were fish cuts sacrificed for expensive ingredients? That being said a few dishes stood out to me and my dining partner. We both enjoyed the ora king salmon courses and the hamachi with the "viet mignonette" (which seemed like nuoc mam!). The service was excellent and a timing lull was acknowledged by the waitress and apologized for. The ambiance was good too.
No longer worth the money.
This used to be by far our favorite restaurant in Boston. But ever since they switched from an à la cart menu to a strict prixe fixe menu, it went downhill noticeably. We were there tonight - a party of six. The food was just OK. But what really made things terrible, was that the time between servings was outrageously long. Average was 15 minutes in between servings, and I actually started timing it. Bear in mind that each serving is just one small piece of sushi per person. So when you have to wait 15 or more minutes between those servings, you spend most of your time being quite hungry and bored. When at one point my timer showed that 26 minutes have elapsed from the last time we received a serving, I called the manager and explained that at this price point they need to do far better, because this is no longer a pleasant dining experience. He simply shrugged me off. I would say that we spent 95% of our time just sitting around, waiting for the next serving to arrive - and the entire experience start to finish took almost 4 hours. At $500 per person this is no longer a restaurant worthy of our business. We have been patrons here for over 10 years but we are not coming back.
