KC Chen: Everything at the restaurant was great especially the yakitori! The vibe was nice, staff was friendly and very efficient. Super affordable! There is a line so do make reservations ahead of time!Would definitely recommend!

Marc: When asked by a friend how the food was, "Love in a bowl" was the first thing that came to mind.Absolutely incredible.

Tian Zhao: Our first visit since its relocation from Allston. Grilled hokke (atka mackerel) was too salty, and fried beef tongue was a bit overcooked. The others were pretty good. Would recommend fried oysters, chicken namban, and yakitori.

Jiayu Shi: I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant and plan to come back often. However, I've noticed that like some restaurants in Boston, the waiter swipes your card in front of you at checkout and asks you to enter the tip in front of them. The minimum tip amount is set at 18% of the total price after tax, with tipping options of 18%, 20%, and 22%. Personally, I don't appreciate this type of behavior from restaurants and it makes me uncomfortable.

Ryan Wetzel: We've gone out to the new hot spots all over and come to realize, some of the absolute best are the staples that have been around for the long haul. Varied menu from yakitori to sashimi to noodles, you won't find better Japanese food in Boston. Prices are reasonable and solid selection of Japanese beers and sake. Took me 20 years to find this gem and will definitely be back.

Bella Wang: Okonomiyaki was tasty. I’m not a connoisseur but it was satisfying. I’m mostly reviewing this so I can remind myself never to order the sushi again. It’s terrible and not fresh. It came out last because I think they were defrosting it. Rice was soggy and unseasoned too.

Nhu Phung: Great food! Taste like Im back in japan, highly recommend everything--okonomiyaki, skewers, nigiri etc.

Biao Li: In comparison to other Izayaka locations in Boston, this is by far the best one. Super busy on weekends but well worth the wait. Friendly staff and service.

Beau Cote: First time we’ve been here and we’ll probably be back. Ramen was good and apps were good. Ramen felt like it needed a little more considering the price (it’s a tad expensive for how basic it is but the taste is top notch). We kinda wish is was either just ramen or just small plates. Atmosphere was busy. We got a nice corner table away from people but it was definitely very loud and it took away from the quality of the food a little. Overall we’ll be back but hopefully it won’t be as chaotic.

Tim D: My fiancée and I decided to give Bosso a try the other night and both of us had a very underwhelming experience. The broth here tasted like it was made from Boston tap water. We were hoping for authentic Japanese cuisine, it was disappointing to say the least. The quality does not match the pricing. I ordered sushi which was served as a nontraditional hand roll, and the texture of the rice was very squishy. The whole experience was just not worth the wait, I would not consider returning; there is better quality Japanese food experiences in Boston.

Haruka Yamashita: I’m Japanese, and I think Bosso has the best Ramen in Boston!! I love visiting here. My favorites are umami ramen, torotaku (sushi) and gyoza. Staffs are all very lovely and the services are excellent too

Anna Belle Harada: I recently dined at Bosso Ramen Tavern, and our experience quickly soured when we were served the wrong dish. We initially didn't make a big deal out of the mistake because the restaurant was very noisy. However, our server accused our table of lying about our order, despite our fluency in Japanese, and insisted that we had ordered the incorrect dish. Given the outrageous prices (+$50/person), coupled with the average quality of the food, we cannot recommend Bosso Ramen Tavern.

Sarah Ander Shultz: Really tasty ramen spot!

Danielle Waldman: The only thing better than the noodles is the IMPECCABLE service from Yasu!!! I can't get enough of this place!

Tre Shockley: Tasty, but ramen portion sizes too small :(

Morgan Pratt: The portions were very small, had ingredients that clashed, and the atmosphere was very awkward. The vegan ramen had what tasted like chorizo and pickles and was very peppery. I could barely see anything and the cultural interpretation was a stretch.Dietary restrictions: They had vegan options but they were strange and expensive.

Sara Modiano: Excellent noodles, unique tastes, warm atmosphere.

david we: Very nicely decorated restaurant. Stopped in for a late night dinner. We started with the beef and Uni hand roll and shrimp tempura roll. Then tried the Karami Ramen and a glass of umeshu plum wine. The ramen noodles are cooked perfectly and the broth very tasty.

yanni (Yanni): The ramen is authentic with some fusion elements in it. The broth is flavourful without heavily salted and seasoned. The owner is from the Boso Peninsula in Japan from what I heard from the staff.Highly recommend Sanmi Ramen if you like creamy tomato tonkotsu broth.Karami Ramen tastes like a Dan Dan Noodle inspired tonkotsu ramen, but it still taste good.The staff are super friendly and enthusiastic about ramen. Cozy atmosphere.A little bit pricey but the food quality justifies the price.

Tunc Oz: This place ruled the first month after they opened but the quality of the food has gone down substantially over time. Still it’s an a good vibe and the people are quite friendly.

Pol: Definitely not authentic Japanese food. It's just expensive fusion food with very small portion size.Food: Lunch menu is very limited--only Raman and "sushi" (not real sushi, more like onigiri) Raman is mediocre --salty, small portion, few ingredients and noddle is nothing close to amazing. The "sushi" is just big rice ball with tiny bit of topping.Other: it's much trouble just to pay the bill-- you have to register online with phone number +email + put in your credit card info...

anika balaconis: Lovely sake. Great hand sushi. Ramen noodles weren't the thick dense kind; they were the white thin kind.

Michelle Levine: Chef Chris’s omakase experience is wonderful. The fish is so fresh and prepared in a very traditional way (just like you find in Japan). The experience is very personal and special - he walks you through everything he is doing and answers questions thoughtfully and respectfully. He is a clearly a master of his craft. I will definitely go back. Best omakase in boston!

Siddharth Jejurikar: My partner and I just had the most wonderful anniversary omakase dinner here. Chef Chris’s dedication to using the best ingredients with no preservatives and doing everything in-house shines through in the excellent food. Would highly recommend contacting the Chef to set up your dining experience, this restaurant is a gem in the area and He is very invested in giving you a memorable experience. Although not traditional to an omakase and requiring extra work, he spent several hours to incorporate our love for Unagi into the most amazing final course of eel for our meal, as an example. Momi Nonmi has quite the curated Sake collection as well!

Christopher Schlieve: Truly an exceptional omakase experience. I have lived overseas, traveled to Kyoto/Tokyo, and have frequented several omakase establishments in Boston and New York, including Sushi Zo, Masa, O-Ya, Uni , Umami Omakase, etc. if you haven’t experienced Momi Nonmi, you are truly missing out.We have been frequent visitors since they opened in 2017. Chef Chris is exceptionally passionate about his craft and delivering a personal experience. Prior to the dining experience, he specially reaches out to you to tailor your experience to include “favorites” that you request and provides an intimate presentation during your visit. He is creative, curious and believes in serving only the best to his customers. For those inexperienced, he takes great care in crafting a course that explores the freshest and most seasonal ingredients. If you want an experience that reflects the level of care, precision and passion you’d expect in Japan, this is your place! Sign up for the Instagram and email list so you don’t miss out on pop ups and takeout options not on their website. You won’t regret it!

Jea Kim: Interesting takeout specials from an omakase place.Recently got their uni donburi, jigoku chirashi, and the regular chirashi, and everything was superb. The ordering process was a bit complicated as it required me to fill out a long Google form and a phone call at specific time frame for payment. Nevertheless, it was definitely worth the hassle. Uni donburi was topped with staggering amount of uni, and the array of sushi bits on the chirashi don was also unique and interesting. Uni here was less briny and more creamy and buttery than what I’m used to, but I enjoyed it. On the other hand, the quality of the sushi on top of the chriashi was not the best, but understandable given the price.Overall, this place definitely stands out in East Cambridge for its inventive sushi dishes. Chef Chris also seemed to be a creative and detail-oriented itamae, and I would definitely return to try his omakase.

Teddy Kitchen: Incredibly intimate and high level culinary experience. Chef Chris is a master of his craft, and it was great to hear him explain all of the dishes and ingredients and the tremendous amount of thought and work put into everything. One of the best meals I have ever had.

William Shinevar: Absolutely fantastic omakase experience. Worth every penny and chef Chris is a wonderfully funny guy! I especially loved the Japanese baby Spanish mackerel nigiri and the tofu-sesame crab appetizer.

Kaitlin B: Best fish in Boston

Adam Burke: Sublime omakase where the fish is the star! An amazing meal from Chef Chris.

fRobert Myers: Phenomenal take out sushi and other food by an amazing chef. The ordering process is a little complicated, but it's worth it for the specials Chef Chris periodically offers. I honestly can't wait to try indoor dining when things look better.

Ryan Pitts: Personal Omakase dinner with Chef Chris was one of the best dining experiences we ever had! Just two of us with the chef having a cultural learning experience plus enjoying some delicious fresh nigiri! Several ingredients were made in house, the fish were delivered that day, and the sake selection paired perfectly. Highly recommend. Great option during COVID as Chris takes many precautions and keeps the place clean!

Tiffany Leung: By far, the best sushi around. I appreciate Chef Chris’s thoughtfulness when he prepares the meals - he labels the container, outlining the sequence in which you should eat the fish, and includes a spreadsheet, indicating which fish is what. Of course you can eat in whatever order you want, but the flavor is optimal in the order he lays out. Tastes just like the sushi I had in Tokyo. Seriously. Fish is so fresh.

Elias Torchalla: If you are looking for an elegant dining experience this is not your place.If you are looking for an outstanding food and palate experience this is you place!In times of covid things are different. In this case covid had a positive side effect. Chef Chris had us as his only guests for the Omakase and it was amazing. He paid great attention to detail from the selection of the sake to the last course of the Omakase. The preparation and quality of ingredients was outstanding and hard to rival.If it weren't for the price tag, we would come every week, but then it would not be special anymore!We will definitely be back though...

Celeste Fahnert: We had an amazing Omakase dinner and it was perfection. Fantastic, unique dishes and some great sake. I highly recommend reaching out to the chef and setting up your done in experience. It's a small place and I believe he is only doing two seatings per night right now. We had the entire place to ourselves

Sid Brobst: One of my go-to places to eat. convenient location, neat, and fantastic service. Very good job!

Julia Liburdi: I grew up in Tokyo, Japan and have been living in the US for the past 7 years. This is without a doubt the most authentic Japanese flavors I’ve had in the US. It feels like home. The twist of Hawaiian fusion makes it that much more interesting. Everyone who is interested in real Japanese food needs to try this place.

Linda Yao: Where the spam is fancy and the wagyu is down-home. High quality yet low key. Great for a party or solo the bar.

Jieyuan “Jerry” Wu: One of the best dining experience in town!

Beta Zed: Awesome place. More people should eat here. I’ve now been a few times and I really find the food an amazing take on a Japanese izakaya. While the dishes are not the traditional ones you would expect, the flavors are very bold and balanced; you will still recognize them as Japanese. There is also an undertone of Hawaiian influences to some dishes which adds more creativity to the menu. Anyway, check this place out...the restaurant name is a bit unusual and the location might be a little out of the way, but definitely make the effort to try this hidden gem!

Lydia Chew: This cafe is part of the mall's "food court" and eating here was a really strange experience. As a first-time customer, I was quite confused with what to do or where to wait. It turns out that you first get in line and order, but you aren't seated right away. The idea is that you'll be seated around the time that the food is ready, as a way to minimize how long you're sitting there. I can respect the reasons for that, but it definitely isn't my preferred style of dining. Apparently, several of the spots in the food court operate in the same way, including the adjacent ramen place, though I haven't tried it yet.Pictured are the saba miso set (bottom) and chicken tatsuta set (top). I love fish and usually opt for salmon, but I was convinced to try the mackerel, a "traditional Japanese favorite" (according to the menu). The mackerel had a few bones but was fine. There was quite a lot of sauce, which I was glad to use as a topping for my rice. However, the salad was pretty bland and uneventful, and I was just a little confused by the potato. It was okay, but I had just never seen that combination in Japanese cuisine before.I didn't finish all the food - not necessarily because the portions were that large, but just because it wasn't that tasty to me. I think I may have been more interested in the salmon veggie don instead.The dishes here aren't very expensive, but I'd probably opt for a different option instead of trying the food here again. While I understand the reason for it, I didn't love feeling rushed out of there, which definitely colored my perception of this spot.Vegetarian options: not a lot of vegetarian options

Juewei Dong: Great culet Don and Gyu Don, tender protein with just the right amount of seasoning. The price is also very reasonable. I’ve been to restaurants that charge you way more for much less quality Donburis. If you want an affordable takeout but don’t want to compromise the food quality, Cafe Mami is one of the greatest choices in Cambridge area.

Siyi Lin: Good Japanese comfort food at an affordable price. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. Small but clean interior, likely to be busy but the line will move quickly. My party got the Gyudon, breaded chicken cutlet curry, and the hamburger steak curry. (My personal favorite is the gyudon because I love sweet and savory meat). The chicken was surprisingly tender as well.

Sarah Lu: Solid prices for the food. Would recommend the Hamburg or chicken dishes—small restaurant w very limited seating but cozy ambience and nice comfort food.

chunwei dong: I went there by myself around 3 PM saying I wanted to dine in. But the waitress didn’t seem pleasant for single dine in. She sent me outside to look at the menu on the wall for takeout. I looked at people dining in there and asked her “ what time did you stop taking dine in “. Then she asked me for the third time if I want to dine in like I was doing something awfully wrong. I confirmed. Then she yelled like there’s no tomorrow “ table B for 1 person” in that 70 sqf space. For the first time I’ve ever experienced such a discrimination for being just 1 person even though there’s nobody else waiting. food is salty and taste boring. It may deserves two or three stars but the service I receive really brought down the whole experience.

I’ve had it through uber eats as well and haven’t experienced any loss of quality.Overall you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu— it’s also such a great deal for the price!However it’s very very small with limited seating so plan to arrive early or wait ~15-20 min during busy times.

Truong Nguyen: This gave me hypertension and kidney damage. The wait was terribly long if you arrive when the shop opens. I waited 40 minutes and I was within the first 15 people that arrived. Obviously when one waits that long, the food should be worth the wait. Needless to say, it was NOT WORTH THE WAIT. The ramen noodles were too hard and not the type of ramen you expect. They're almost amateur made; hard, lumpy, and uneven. However the ramen wasn't the worse part. The soup was almost pure soy sauce with lumps of fat. It was so so so salty. Imagine drinking flavored seawater!!! I will give kudos to the meat portions. It was tender and unctuous! Finally the shop is tiny and claustrophobic. I was shoulder to shoulder with another patron. They ask you if you would like to make a wish after which I thought was a little too much for someone with social anxiety.

Proddy Sukcharoen: Hands down to the best ramen place in Boston! Worth the 30 minute wait outside in the cold. Staff were very friendly and cheerful! Nothing beats the signature pork ramen with extra delicious garlic 😋. Generous portions. We lined up for one of the last seatings of the night and it turns out that the broth at the end of the night was very concentrated in flavor which make the whole dining experience even more wonderful!

The Red Devil is definitely a thrill for spice lovers, while the Black Shoyu is subtly infused with a smokey flavor. Their appetizers are also delicious, especially the chicken karagee.

Sasha P: We ordered the black miso and shoyu soups as well as the spicy cucumber appetizer. A drink was also ordered but they didn't give it to us and we weren't charged for it. Cucumbers were fresh and we enjoyed that dish. The black miso noodle soup was all right. My shoyu noodle soup wasn't bad but the waiter forgot to substitute my corn fritter with extra veggies. Food wasn't remarkable

Christopher Hill: Not the friendliest of greetings. I almost felt like I was intruding when I walked in to make a carry out order.Asked for a menu, and was pointed to the sign on the door that instructs you to scan the QR code for the menu.

When we ordered it, the waiter said it’s last bowl. The yuzu flavor was so refreshing. Nothing better than a cold noodle in the hot summer day! Oh I love they put both roast pork (thin cut) and pork belly (thick) on the ramen. Roast pork was so tender even it’s not fatty
