311 Omakase

Three 1 One (311) is a Boston restaurant in the South End that offers a focused, chef-led Japanese dining experience. The kitchen operates around a trinity concept—chef, ingredients and customers—and combines tradition with creative self-expression. Founder and Executive Chef Wei trained seven years at an acclaimed Japanese restaurant in Boston and later worked intensively under Masa Takayama, chef and owner of the first three‑star Michelin Japanese and sushi restaurant in the U.S., honing classical Japanese techniques. The team states a commitment to achieving Michelin-level excellence, and the restaurant has received press recognition and a Michelin Guide selection. Nestled in Boston’s culturally rich South End, the room projects an artful, entertaining vibe that highlights visual presentation. Photographs and quotes emphasize a thoughtful, creative setting tied to the neighborhood’s vibrant arts scene. The menu follows a Japanese omakase and sushi-focused format rooted in traditional techniques while infused with the chef’s personal creativity. Courses run as tasting sequences that prioritize meticulous preparation, seasonal ingredients and sourcing of the freshest, highest-quality fish and produce. Specialties include omakase sushi tasting, traditional Japanese courses with creative twists and the chef’s multi-course tasting menu. Dishes are presented on one-of-a-kind antique Japanese serverware, including plateware handmade by potter Akira Satake.
