Best Japanese Restaurants in Boston | Eater Boston

"If you’re up for a quick bite and don’t want to wait in line for Yume Ga Arukara, there are two incredible spots for Japanese food in the same building. They have completely different vibes: Cafe Mami offers great value for speedy service and satisfying meals, and Ittoku is the place for catching up with your old pals over a few rounds of thirst-quenching draft beer or whiskey highball. At Ittoku, order the lightly-charred yakitori skewers, thickly layered Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki (savory pancakes), and juicy karaage served with mayo to go with your drinks. Thank us later." - Valerie Li Stack
