    Excellent 15 course dinner. Very unique and impressive presentation of each one. We also had the sake pairings. Overall a great experience; a bit expensive but worth it for sure… we’ll go back again!!

    Umami Omakase is fabulous. We give the dining experience five stars for the food and experience of sitting at the sushi bar and watching the chef prepare each dish. What fun to see the delicate and exquisite fish being prepared and then to be filled with such pleasure eating the fish.

    Food quality very good, and surely Boston’s best value omakase (given the other choice, O Ya, has become preposterously overpriced in the last few years. But compared to omakase in other cities - New York, San Francisco, even Austin or Dallas - the food was average at best. Sake menu is well above average, especially for Boston. Service was exemplary for anywhere, both overall and in their proactive accommodation and creative alternatives for dietary restrictions.
