The hamburger and the chicken katsu was so good. I wasn’t expecting the burger to be tender and juicy. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I’ve been going to Cafe Mami for years, and it is still consistently good and one of my favorite food spots in Boston. I always get the yaki beef tofu, which comes out piping hot, so be careful. Not sure if they still do unlimited free rice refills, but that was always nice. The portion size is already great for the price even without the refills, though. This set comes with a salad and miso soup as well. The wait can be long sometimes now that word has gotten out about all of the restaurants in this corner and since this place is quite small, but you won’t regret eating here!

Pretty good, homestyle Japanese curry and Japanese hamburger meat! I don’t really like hamburger meat tho but the curry is really good!

Had the hamburger steak and Japanese chicken curry, both delicious but the steak is by far my favorite dish there. Great mixture of sweet and salty, and the steak is extremely tender. The potatoes and salad are also great sides.
