" The atmosphere is cozy, but unfortunately, the service was a bit lacking. The food was on par for what you'd expect in a food court—good but not exceptional. The hamburger steak set was decent, but I felt the portions could be bigger compared to similar places. Still, I'd give it a second chance down the road. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited on a rainy day and boy, was it the perfect remedy! The warm curry hit the spot right away. The staff were welcoming, and even though the space was small, the vibe felt homey. I tried the don katsu and it exceeded my expectations. The only downside is that the restaurant is cash-only, so be prepared! " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Mami is one of the best-kept secrets in Boston! The beef and tofu dish I had was rich and satisfying, and the price was exceptionally reasonable. While the ambiance is not flashy, it's charming in its own way. The staff are attentive, making the experience enjoyable. Definitely a spot I'll frequently return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" The place is nice and cozy, perfect for a casual meal. I enjoy their assortment of rice bowls, although this time I went for the curry set, which was satisfying. The only downside is that sometimes it can get a bit noisy, especially when it’s crowded. Overall, great experience and delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience at Café Mami! The hamburger set was delicious and so filling. I was impressed with how quickly the food came out. The only downside was how cramped the space felt, but that's the trade-off for such great food. I will definitely be back for more! " (*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*)
