Massachusetts Sushi Restaurant Named One Of The Best In America

Author Jeff Gorra
July 6th 5:40 PM

A recent report by IBIS World detailed that there are 19,742 sushi restaurant businesses in the United States. There are roughly 7,000 more sushi establishments in 2023 than there were 10 years ago. That makes it even more impressive that one of them from Massachusetts has been named one of the best sushi restaurants in the country by Time Out.

Sushi has become so popular that many platforms are publishing reports on the overall sushi industry in America. USA Today recently detailed that 5 million Americans eat this cuisine at least once a month. Furthermore, “Google Trends data shows it’s twice as popular as it was five years ago and more than three times as popular as it was a decade ago,” they state.

Sushi also has the flexibility to satisfy an appetizer portion, serve as a full meal, or offer an array of options for hors d’oeuvres. When searching for the best sushi, “fresh” is always a priority. In addition, seeing the chef hand-roll your pieces only enhances the overall experience.

So where do you find this sushi restaurant in Massachusetts that was named one of the best?

Boston – O Ya

Located at 9 East Street, O Ya is only open five days per week, which makes it even more in demand. The restaurant is high-end and even includes a Sake Sommelier onsite. This enabled O Ya to also offer beverage pairings with their prepared meals.

Menu

You may have trouble locating the menu online. That is because as their website explains, “O Ya offers a nightly omakase dinner, a chef’s-choice menu of 20 courses featuring a variety of unique nigiri, sashimi, and cooked dishes.” They also offer vegetarian or vegan options, but only with 48-hour notice.

Finally, Time Out describes the O Ya experience as one that requires your time and proper attention, claiming each dish looks as fantastic as it tastes. “The sushi and omakase menu is a marvel of both flavor and presentation, with every morsel—from the foie gras nigiri to the bluefin tuna and smoked salmon sashimi—a delectable work of art,” they state.

This Boston Pub Is One of The Oldest in the World

On the outskirts of Boston’s Faneuil Hall, tucked in snug on Marshall St. you will find a historic establishment. The Green Dragon Tavern is one of the oldest taverns in the world. In a recent piece by Food and Wine, The Green Dragon Tavern was highlighted as one of the only two pubs in the U.S. that rank among the ten world’s oldest. The other happens to be Rhode Island.

The fascinating history of The Green Dragon Pub dates back to the year 1657. Their website details that John Hancock’s brother lived next door. During the American Revolution, The Green Dragon Tavern was often a meeting establishment for Revolutionaries. “It was deemed the headquarters of the revolution” by Samuel Adams, Daniel Webster and Paul Revere.” the Tavern explains.

“The idea of the British to capture Sam Adams and John Hancock were discovered at the Green Dragon Tavern,” is printed on the placemats inside. It was here where the Boston Tea Party was planned.

The Green Dragon Today

Located in Boston’s North End, the establishment sits upon a corner. The entire block has a historical look with brick and cobblestone streets and buildings. One of the key renovations occurred when the establishment reopened in 1840 after a fire caused major damage to the area.

Presently, The Green Dragon Tavern is open for lunch and dinner. They feature a pub menu that consists of starters, salads, burgers and tavern sandwiches. Furthermore, they have the “Revolutionary Fare” section of the menu. This is where you will find classics such as Sheppard’s Pie, bangers and mash, and fish and chips.

The bar is laced with history. It has an antique look and displays historical dates and facts painted upon the overhead. Pulling up a stool, you can’t help but think about the conversations that took place at the Green Dragon Tavern over the centuries.

The Green Dragon Tavern represents a deep history. And this Boston pub is still standing strong as one of the oldest in the world.
