Only restaurant worth eating at Porter Exchange. The teriyaki hamburger is a mouth watering flavorful piece of meat! Love how theres no buns js the meat w/ egg on top; salad and potato on the side.

Lane Rettig

The curry here is to die for. Nothing beats katsu curry w pork cutlet . It's rich and tender and amazing. They have a veggie and tofu curry too.

Shannon H

Literally you can order anything off the menu and it will be fantastic. All the donburis (yaki and tatsuta don) and the curries , especially the katsu curry is the best I've ever tried.

Leslie Monchin

My go to spot when I want some quick, cheap , comfort food . Order the teriyaki hamburger set. Mmmm. Or go before 2pm for $5 specials. Yaki-don is the way to go

Jessica Vo

There’s one woman serving five tables so be patient! The wait isn’t long, people tend to eat fast and go. Pork curry katsu with egg AND cheese is the move

Tim Luo

Yaki Don during lunchtimes on weekdays for $6 :) salmon veggie yaki don , tonkatsu curry or tatsuta curry otherwise. Free refills of rice !

Hilario Coimbra

I've gotten the Tatsuta Set at cafe Mami at least 20 times - it's so good. Shumai is a good appetizer to start with.

Jeremy Krantz

Excellent katsu and hamburg sets here! The grated, pickled daikon on there is a nice touch. Food is delish!

Seong Hwang

Order chicken katsu with an egg sunny-side up and cheese . It's really good. Also get green tea milkshake after done with the meal.

Eugene Kim

Get the extra large Tokyo Hamburg set and extra sauce. Curry pork cutlet is phenomenal as well . Get there early for a table - they can only seat around 10!

The $5 lunch special is one reason to stop by. It only gets better from there. The burger “sets”, which is a burger patty with choice of sauces or even a fried egg on top, are unique and delicious. Read more

The tatsuka donburi serving was huge and plenty enough to share. Great matcha shake , hoe I wish the cup was bigger :)

Jeffrey Zhao

Awesome hole in the wall in Porter exchange. Try the chicken katsu curry or any of the donburi

food quality has gone downhill here over time but still a great curry spot! definitely add cheese and an egg .

Thaniya Amaralilit

Wafu Hamburger Set is the best there is. Green tea shake is super tasty. Advice : Do not go there when you are really hungry since getting a seat sometime can be a challenge :)

Ekaterina Titova

Chili tomato Hamburg !!!!! You won't regret. Get cheese and egg on top

Bonobos

Great place if you want Japanese comfort food . Curries are great. Green tea shake is even better.

simspot

Just thinking about the katsu and curry makes me want to go back and check it out. Great food thats easy on the wallet, but be warned - limited seating (<15 total)!

Jade Ng

This is my go-to resy every time I visit Boston. Teriyaki Hamburg or yaki-don ftw.

Beware of the complimentary salad here. Extra protein: Maggots.

Go for the Tokyo Hamburger , which is basically a hamburger patty with a special tomato-based sauce.

Dave O'Connor

Ninniku chicken set, chicken yaki don

Free refill rice for meal sets, ie burger sets, fish sets or hot plat sets.

The hamburger sets are the bomb!
