Chef Sky Zheng trained at Sushi Nakazawa in NYC and now sources fish directly from Tokyo's Toyosu market for an 18-course omakase that lands near-unanimously at "Best Edo-mae omakase in Boston, possibly rivals anywhere else." The catch: $199 per person, reservations book weeks out, and the door is hard to find. If you can clear those hurdles, this is the experience that justifies the premium.
Pro tip: Resy releases drop at noon—have your date locked in and hit refresh. Booking 2+ weeks ahead isn't a suggestion.
