​Boston’s First Michelin Star Gets Delivered

BOSTON, MA — For the first time ever, a Boston restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star last year, and now it's been delivered.

311 Omakase, a Japanese restaurant in the city's South End neighborhood, earned Boston's first Michelin Star in November. The restaurant, which opened in 2023, is known for its lavish omakase experience, in which courses are selected by the chef.

The star was delivered to Chef Wei Chen, co-owner Carrie Ko, and their team on Monday, according to the Boston Globe.

311 Omakase, located at 605 Tremont St., serves nigiri sushi that can include a range of diverse fish like fluke, striped beakfish and goldeneye snapper. The chef also prepares cooked items, such as crunchy fried grouper with ponzu sauce, or decadent fish dishes like amadai and abalone, according to the Michelin Guide.

The Japanese eatery wasn't the only restaurant honored by the Michelin Guide last fall. Six Boston-area restaurants received Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, highlighting high-quality meals at affordable prices.

Mahaniyom in Brookline; Jahunger, Pagu and Sumiao Hunan Kitchen in Cambridge; and Bar Volpe and Fox & The Knife in South Boston were among those honored in that category.
