We kindly ask guests to dress in a manner that reflects the refined nature of the experience. Smart casual or elevated attire is expected.

“Yoshida Omakase is a world class omakase counter experience. The fish - superb. The shima aji went through this curing and salting process which produced a tender and rich bite that I just wanted more of. Their Akami is 28 day aged and was just bursting with flavor. The rice is made with four different vinegars and served warm - a perfect balance with the fish. The appetizers were amazing. We started off with monkfish liver, with a quenelle of apple purée - wow. It was fun watching the chef make each quenelle! Service is top notch, the place is beautiful and the plateware was beautiful - each one different. I would say this is now the best high end sushi in Boston. Had it been open long enough in 2025 it would have a Michelin star.”
“Dining at Yoshida Omakase was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Each course was thoughtfully curated, showcasing a perfect balance of creativity, flavor, and artistry. The chefs’ skill and passion were evident in every bite, transforming each dish into a memorable moment. The staff provided impeccable service. They were attentive, warm, and genuinely gracious - enhancing the overall experience without ever feeling intrusive. Yoshida Omakase offers a truly refined and unforgettable culinary journey that I can’t recommend highly enough.”
“I visited Yoshida on December 26. The interior design, overall atmosphere, and the variety and freshness of the fish were all excellent and clearly well thought out. That said, I felt there was room for improvement in execution and attention to detail, which are essential to an upscale omakase experience. The fish portions were inconsistent in size, and the rice was served overly warm. The brushed soy sauce was applied too heavily, at times overpowering the natural flavor of the fish. I also noticed water from the handwashing sink splashing onto the counter area, which was quite unpleasant. In addition, the amount of wasabi used was excessive and inconsistent from piece to piece, affecting the overall balance of the sushi. There were also several spelling errors on the menu, suggesting a lack of refinement in the finer details. The experience is interesting on a first visit, but without stronger execution and attention to detail, it is unlikely to encourage repeat visits.”
