I had an amazing omakase experience at No Relation. The sushi was really fresh and not overly seasoned, so I could enjoy the natural seafood flavors. The two chefs were polite and knowledgeable.

AMAZING omakase experience. We got the sake pairing and it was a wonderful touch. The service was great and the staff is super knowledgable about the food and drinks. The omakas experience takes place in an intimate space, perfect for a special occasion.

Had a really great time at this omakase! I love that they added some toppings and seasonings to most or some of the fish. Everything was super flavorful and they were great with non dairy as well. It was a great portion for the price and they had a very great sake list. Great atmosphere as well! My only complaint is the sushi chef seemed to push the extras a little too hard. Overall, we really loved this experience!

I had my first omakase experience at No Relation. The entire experience is very intimate and an enjoyable journey. The chefs naturally deliver a symphony of flavors in single bites which I can highly recommend. Alexi, who takes care of drinks, is an absolute pleasure and an expert on what is served. Overall I highly recommend this high quality experience to anyone it speaks to!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE OMG It was my first Omakase in my life and it was fantastic. The chefs were very friendly telling us the ingredients and their seasonal menu. I loved how they interact with customers and prepare each piece. I could feel how people in this area love food. 🤍

This entire experience was so unique and special. The sushi was incredible, staff was knowledgeable and friendly. You’re tucked into the back of another restaurant, which adds to the allure. We did the premium sake and wine pairing - worth it. Truly a meal and experience we’ll never forget.

I’m a big sushi fan and love to try out Japanese cuisine around the world. This is the best omakase sushi you can get in Boston. The restaurant is tiny so make sure you reserve a seat at least a few weeks in advance. I would love to give a 5 star but unfortunately there are some down points. It was a 5 out of 5 the first time we visit, but the score has going down after. First of all, they don’t really change the menu, so you end up having a fixed setting each time. Which takes out the whole surprise of the Omakase experience. Secondly, the quality of the sushi rice varies. Sometimes it was amazing and sometimes was pretty bad rice felt apart when picking the sushi up. Besides that, this restaurant is really really good and I highly recommend to everyone who loves sushi. The fish was always with great quality and the chief was super friendly and skillful. My personal favorite is the sommeliers. They are extremely knowledgeable with sake!

Always an incredible experience to come here for dinner. The fish is incredibly fresh, the flavor combinations are uniquely delicious, and the atmosphere makes you completely forget you're in a basement in the South End. The current sommelier, Ada, is super knowledgeable about all of the wine and sake offerings and has an impeccable sense of customers' preference to recommend the perfect pairing(s) during the meal. My wife and I cannot wait to go back!

This is our 1st time dine at this restaurant, we were worried we might not be full but we were. We enjoyed most of sushi except mackerel I always find it has strong fishy taste. The white sturgeon would better without caviar. It over power the rest of dish. Overall it was pleasant experience.

Great experience and fantastic sushi at the No relation Omakase. The chefs were very friendly explaining the ingredients and their seasonal menu with us. I loved how you could add on to the experience at the end with special rolls and A5 wagyu.

This was a fantastic omekase experience. We have been to similar experiences across the country, including Michelin star sushi counters and I can honestly say this experience was well worth the price tag. The sushi itself was all very well done with well done and interesting pairing like a shima aji with uni and vidalia onion or a Hiramasa with soy onion. Each piece felt distinct and delicious. On top of that the sake pairing was well worth it. The server Alexey was amazingly knowledgeable about his sake and was engaging to speak with about sushi and sake pairings. It is a bit of a lost art form for a server to really know and care about the craft, and No Relation managed to find someone truly engaged in the subject. The experience is somewhat surreal. No Relation is tucked away in the back of a sort of tiki or island themed restaurant that serves things like loaded tater tots and drinks in tiki heads. But then you go to the back and there is this relatively traditional 9 person sushi counter with its own playlist (not anything Japanese or traditional), but very original and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone who loves sushi.

Incredible sushi experience and service by the chefs and staff. The fish selections were wonderful and well put together, each piece bringing something new and different to the table. The sake selections for the pairing are also a great addition to the meal. Great place to go for a special event! Or if you just love great omakase sushi.

A cool spot for Boston standards as a small Japanese inspired room at the back of a tiki bar. Excellent quality fish and rice, and a very knowledgeable somm. The music was a bit quiet and because of that it was a very intimate experience, only things missing were a wow factor in the food and experience, this was a traditional sushi dinner with high quality ingredients. The only unique dish was a Boston inspired miso soup to complete the meal, but it left you wanting more.

Definitely love it! The food and services match the price, and 14 courses can totally fill me up. I always thought I hate Akami, but the one I tried here really change my mind.
