Uni’s late-night ramen is served Thurs-Sat after 11 pm in two great flavors. One is more traditional, with roast pork. The other, called umami ramen, features barbecue eel and a rich, intense broth. Read more

Slight step below O Ya, but w/better cocktails. Don't miss the Ika (w/smoked beef drippings), Hon Hamachi Toro (w/pork belly), and Spicy Tuna & Foie Gras Tataki. Tako in hot oil was great, tender.

Not your typical sushi spot: Great gourmet sushis. Even sitting at the bar is very intimate and perfect way to enjoy the delicately prepared sushi and sashimi. 🍣

Oyster with oxalis, melon and Darjeeling: Sashimi chef Tony Messina uses West coast oysters, preferably Kusshi, Kumamoto or Shigoku, for this preparation, which he insists is simpler than it sounds. Read more

From the minute you walk in the door friendly smiling welcoming staff from chef to hostess- genuine hospitality which is rare and to be envied plus ramen is incredible

Have to get this lobster. And a side of Brussels sprouts. But honestly everything is amazing. A real treat
Sean PatrickMarch 2, 2016
Much better than it is rated. The omikase is much better than O Ya's, and at a discounted price. They recently expanded their space and it looks great! Highly recommended

Late night ramen from 11pm-2am Thursday - Saturday. Get there before they stop serving cocktails at 1am. Get something from the "Mad Scientist" section of the drink menu by mixologist Todd Maul.

This place blew me away. Get the chicken & (macha) waffle and dine in Southern / Japanese paradise.

Think long, rectangular plates holding tissue-thin slices of raw seafood dressed with seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs, and esoteric ingredients, like Korean pepper threads. Read more

So good - absolute musts are the shishito peppers, popcorn shrimp, and foie grad unagi ❤️

Late night ramen starts @ 11pm and its good ramen! Ramen was $10. :D they have umami or traditional. I'd recommend! I also tried the pork bun but the bun wasn't really soft. It's alright.

The food is fresh and amazing. The chefs put their heart into the food and it shows. Try the chefs omakase and late night ramen.

Late night ramen is amazing. The pork bun comes with a glorious fried piece of pork belly in it.

(Best of Boston 2013-SUSHI) Improper Bostonian says, "Not your average sushi joint, unless average means sashimi so bejeweled and breathtaking that you'd never dream of soiling it with Kikkoman."

The Chiang Mai duck carnitas are on my bucket list and they should be on yours too.
Lillian ChanMay 25, 2013
pork buns, shishito peppers, sashimi and drinks are awesome!! <3 them! unfortunately ramen is not. my veggie ramen broth was so salty and this comes from someone who likes salt.

Authentic sushi. The salmon and tuna nigri pieces just melt in your mouth...

The spoonful is amazing. Also, try the tostadas!

Best omakase in Boston. And, late night ramen is divine!
Alexandre MunhozNovember 15, 2020
Fois gras and spicy on the tuna Sashimi was overwhelming. Toro nigiri was poorly cut (chewy membranes). Outside seating was extremely cold. Not what I expected for a $150 meal for one person.

Everything we ordered was delicious!

I'm over this place. Good food but wait is too long. Servers are disorganized and messed up our order. Second time it's happened in two times.
