Restaurant · Cambridge
Tucked away on Burleigh Street, this little Japanese spot has become a reliable stop for families who want something fresh rather than another round of chips. The build-your-own poke bowls are the draw — masses of toppings, everything ripe and properly fresh, and the regular size is generous enough that one parent shared hers with her daughter. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus a few outdoor tables, and it doubles as a café for coffee and pastries if you only need a breather. Vegan and halal options are covered, and the katsu sandwiches go down well with older children. The staff are genuinely warm — one parent describes it as "homey and welcoming". Two honest snags: the interior is small and a little tired, it's not cheap for lunch, and at busy times the wait can stretch well past what's promised, so mind your parking meter.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
