" Café Mami did not meet my expectations. The food was decent but felt a little bland. I was hoping for more on the flavor front as the reviews suggested. Service was prompt but the atmosphere felt rushed. I would recommend it for a casual meal, but it might not be memorable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to drop by for some takeout after a long day. I ordered the tonkatsu, and although it was good, I felt it could have been a little more flavorful. The portion was decent for the price, but the sauce was a bit underwhelming compared to other places. The staff was friendly, but it felt a bit rushed, which took away from the experience. I might give it another shot, but I'm not in a hurry to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Mami is a place I've cherished for years. As a long-time visitor, I've always loved their unique twist on traditional Japanese dishes. The flavors are delightful, and every visit feels like coming home. They make you feel special with their welcoming service too. Highly recommend their curry sets! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the chicken katsu and it was delicious! The breading was just right, crispy but not too heavy. My only issue was the tables were a bit cramped, making it feel rushed like they wanted you to eat and get out. I'd definitely recommend the food, but just know it’s a quick in-and-out kind of place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this cafe! The chicken curry there is simply amazing. Generous portions and authentic flavors make it a must-try. The service is always friendly, and even though the place is small, the atmosphere feels warm. I always leave satisfied—can’t wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" An okay experience overall. The katsu was crispy and delicious, but the portion felt a bit smaller than expected based on the reviews. Service was regular; not unfriendly, but not very welcoming either. The atmosphere was crowded and overwhelming. I would want to try more dishes to give them another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Mami has become my go-to for Japanese food! I love their beef with tofu—it’s comfort food at its best. The flavors are always on point and the portions are very satisfying. I appreciate the friendly service, and even though it's a small space, it feels welcoming. I can't wait to take my friends there next time. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
