Uni

This buzzy izakaya is one of Boston’s flashiest restaurants, and we mean that in the best possible way. You can come here just for the sushi and sashimi and have a great meal, but you’re better off focusing on the small plates and ordering as many as you can. Go wild and get the dishes that would be gimmicky in less talented hands, such as the Maine Uni Spoon: a $22 spoonful of quail egg, yuzu, and caviar. Everything is incredible, and yes, that spoon is worth it.
