" I stumbled across Cafe Okawari while exploring the city, and I’m so glad I did! The katsu sando was one of the best I’ve ever had, with perfectly crispy chicken and soft, fluffy bread. The service was quick and friendly, perfect for a lunch break during a busy day. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is fantastic! Authentic flavors and beautiful presentation. I ordered a variety of sandwiches to share, and they were all winners! The curry was surprisingly good too, not too spicy, just perfect. A must-try if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for delicious, Japanese-style sandwiches, look no further! I had the chicken katsu sandwich and a hojicha latte at Cafe Okawari. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the bread was perfectly soft. I sat outside on their patio, which added to the lovely experience. I’ll definitely return to try more items from their menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Cafe Okawari exactly a week ago, and it was an enjoyable experience. The service was prompt and the food flavorful. I would have preferred a bit more variety on the menu, but what I had was well-prepared. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Cafe Okawari. The chicken teriyaki was very basic and not at all what I hoped for. On the other hand, the fruit sando was delightful with just the right amount of cream. Overall ambiance was perfect for a lunch spot, and service was friendly. I’d recommend trying their signature dishes for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the authenticity of Cafe Okawari! It reminded me of the small Japanese eateries I encountered during my travels. I sampled their egg salad sando and katsu curry; the flavors were so comforting. Friendly staff too, who made the visit even better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Though my last visit wasn't the best, I appreciate the authenticity of Cafe Okawari. The food is made with care, but I had a rough experience with the service. I would give them another chance since their food is generally wonderful. " (*Curated Review*)
