Top 5 Japanese Restaurants in Boston

Top Tier EditorialSourcesThe Boston Globe

  1. 1

    o ya

    Leather District

    The Globe's near–South Station benchmark — a 20-course prix fixe of sashimi, nigiri, and cooked dishes from Tim and Nancy Cushman.

  2. 2

    Wa Shin

    Bay Village

    The Globe's 2024-opened omakase venue led by chef Sky Zheng — beautiful seafood and hand-grated wasabi root.

  3. 3

    Uni

    Back Bay

    The Globe calls Ken Oringer's izakaya 'slinky yet scrumptious' — pristine sushi and izakaya plates in a dark, lively room.

  4. 4

    No Relation

    South End

    The Globe's hidden nine-seat omakase counter inside Shore Leave tiki bar — a 17-course menu in an intimate South End setting.

  5. 5

    Ebi Sushi

    Union Square

    The Globe's unpretentious Union Square pick — some of the freshest fish in town at a fraction of downtown prices; the torched salmon is the move.
