Best Japanese/Sushi

O Ya, from 2012 James Beard Award-winning Chef-Owner Tim Cushman, is ranked among the top sushi restaurants not just in the Boston area but also in the entire country. 




From OpenTable and the restaurant:
"Located in a 100-year-old fire station in Boston’s historic Leather District, o ya offers contemporary Japanese dining in a comfortable setting. The intimate 37-seat dining room consists of 10 tables and a 17-seat chef’s counter, where guests can watch the chefs preparing the dishes. Chef-Owner Tim Cushman offers an Omakase, or Chef’s tasting menu, for $150 and an extensive a la carte menu of creative nigiri, sashimi, vegetable, wagyu beef, kurobuta pork and poulet rouge chicken dishes. O ya also offers an extensive premium sake list. Average dining time is approximately 2-3 hours." 


James Beard Foundation: Tim Cushman, Best Chef: Northeast winner, 2012


"The restaurant, plotted with excellence more than profit in mind, reflects extraordinary pride. Although it has just 37 seats, 17 of them at an L-shaped sushi counter, there are as many as five chefs in addition to Mr. Cushman working on a given night. They execute a menu with about 80 savory dishes, few of them simple, and just as many sauces and dressings a night."
