Somenya Boston is one of the best japanese restaurants in Boston for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Boston.
Somenya occupies a suite off Hudson Street in Chinatown, and its whole identity is built around something Boston has chronically undersupplied: serious, house-made udon and soba.

Sixteen seats, a 90-minute window, and a chef who won "Chopped" then poured the prize into a food truck before landing here on Sanborn Court — Kush is the kind of intimate, chef-driven room Somerville does better than anyone.

The Zebra Room announces itself as a secret and mostly keeps the promise: ten tables, a small bar, and a concealed entrance through Yvonne's lower level at 4 Winter Place.
