The worker was quick and efficient with making the drink - I opted for something you usually don't see on the menu and it didn't disappoint. It didn't knock me out of the park or anything, but the drink was refreshing enough and hit the spot. Thanks, OneZo!

Wow, wow, wow! If I could give you 10 stars, I would. The chocolate bun has me in a chokehold in a…read moreway no food has before. I dream about it, day in and day out, cursing the distance between us. Why must you be so far away? My heart breaks every time I see the traffic report keeping us apart. The chocolate on this bun was unlike anything I've had before, the smoothest, most delightful texture known to man. The cream, utter perfection, the perfect balance to the sharpness of the chocolate. I can't even begin to express how fondly I fell for this bun. I'm enraptured, infatuated, absolutely head over heels in love.

I love Japonaise Bakery for their adorable anime- themed pastries! While their Totoro Bun is…read moredefinitely the most popular, they also like to experiment with new flavors & characters. The display in the front with all the figurines and product samples is the cutest thing you will see all day. Although their Kuromi Bun had a nice (not too sweet) custard filling, the bread itself was a tad too dry. We also got their Shio Butter Bread which was the better choice. We happened to get a freshly baked one which was fluffy and melt in your mouth delicious! Also, it must be said that their service is A+. Their staff are truly such kind folks - always smiling and making friendly conversation with their customers. Turns out they were testing a new dough for the Shio Bread so they even gave us one on the house to try. The kind gesture was very sweet and much appreciated!

Located next to Kyuramen, this place caught my daughters' eyes and they went in to order the matcha…read morecheese mousse cake and the ujicha float to share. You use a touchscreen to order and pay and they announce your number when it's ready. Both orders were delicious. The float had boba on the bottom and was filled to the brim so they had to eat the soft serve down a bit before being able to put a boba straw in. The matcha cheese mousse cake has a layer of azuki beans on the bottom, multiple layers of subtle complimentary flavors. Yummy dessert for after your ramen! Highly recommend!

When I attempted to check out on the kiosk, there was a $0.25 convenience fee and I had to input my phone number in order to check out?!? Ordered with the staff and there was no need for a phone number or the $0.25 convenience fee... The staff put on a glove before making my ice cream. The milk flavored ice cream looked great but only tasted so-so. It wasn't a Cremia like I would find in Japan. This felt like a Chinese-owned chain with inconsistent pricing and hidden fees.

Cute little Japanese shop and food spot. Some street parking in the area and a small paid parking…read morelot in the back of the Coolidge center with 4 hour parking. We got here right when they opened so they were still preparing the premium onigiri for the day. Service was very friendly - order at the register and pick up your food when ready. We did order one of each - Chashu & Aji-Tama (Braised Pork & Egg) - this was one of my favorites, flavorful and fresh. Karage - Probably our second favorite - the chicken was tender. Spicy Karage - similar to the regular karage but I wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy mayo Takana (Pickled Mustard Leaf) - this one was surprising but very good and a little spicy. I also ordered their Cherry Blossom Tea and the Hojicha Latte. Both were good teas. I did some shopping here too as they had a variety of snacks, teas and other trinkets. They have a small little refrigerated fresh food section where you can also get onigiri and other foods. Very cute spot and good amount of seating inside. Nice, quiet and calming inside. Would definitely come back.

Recent improvements at both Maruichi place across the street each other would rock your whole world, even Most of Japanese ourselves couldn't do like this.

The seating was a bit hars to find but I went during the busiest time on a Saturday. My partner got the strawberry matcha and she really liked it. I felt it was strong on the matcha which some people may like. The decor was also super nice. It's crazy that they have a sky light in a commercial building it's great and very cozy vibes. 10/10 would recommend

Hands down my fav Japanese market in Boston!! Feels like you're transported back to Japan, with all…read morethe good vibes and good food. There's so many options when it comes to food, hot food or quick food! My favorite are the hand-rolls, ranges from $4-$8, and the strawberry matcha latte, perfect flavor and sweetness. The onigiris in the fridge are fantastic, as low as $2 and is amazing to eat later, but there are fresh made ones for about $4 each. They also have the infamous egg sandos, for quick grabs! I need to try the curry katsu next time because I see so many people ordering those. Sometimes they have food demonstrations from Japan and they are always so nice! It's fun in here, but finding a seat could be difficult during lunch hour, but people tend to come and go, so it's worth the wait.

Was looking for late night milkshakes and happened to stumble upon this place, a board game cafe!…read more Didn't know what to expect coming in, but quickly learned you basically pay to play unlimited games. Since you do have to pay a game fee, I suggest making a night out of it to get your moneys worth. They have all the board games you can imagine, and then some...card games, two player games, etc. Everything is categorized so you can navigate pretty easily. They even have a suggestions board if like us, you don't know what to play. We came pretty late so only stayed a little over an hour...but we got our milkshakes so it was worth it. Actual place is open late some nights but they seem to stop serving food/drinks beforehand, so keep that in mind. Honestly we had fun and this is a chill way to spend a night out.

I wanted to love this place, but it's a mismatch for the vibe I was seeking…read more I was looking for zen, and given my view of the grocery store from my seat, a view of the prep kitchen in the other direction, the beat of the hip pop music playing unexpectedly loudly, and the lines, I'm thinking it's more of an urban, 20-something vibe. I probably would have loved it in my 20s. They do have a room with tatami mats & exposed brick with the vibes I was hoping for, but a woman is talking and gesticulating animatedly in there, and at another table there's a toddler, whereas the tables on the floor are ironically much quieter. Maybe I'll check out that room next time? I get the establishment isn't responsible for patrons' volume or meltdowns. They have signs asking you not to stay more than 90 minutes...which I find fascinating, as the ambiance doesn't lend itself towards lingering. Nonetheless, 4 stars because I really enjoyed my first iced Houjicha Latte. In the future, I'll take my drink orders to go.
