14 of Boston’s Best Affordable Meals

"A fantastic Japanese food hall is hiding inside of a Lesley University building right in the heart of Porter Square, and it’s full of inexpensive dining options, from ramen to sushi to udon. The restaurants are small, but most offer full-service dining. Some only accept cash; there’s an ATM onsite. Top picks include the spicy miso ramen at Sapporo Ramen, the Tokyo hamburg set at Cafe Mami, and the famous niku udon at Yume Ga Arukara." - Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
