Authentic Japanese · Cambridge
Tucked on the edge of the city centre in a building that doesn't look like much from outside, this place opens up far bigger than you'd expect — though it's still snug, so a bulky pram may need parking by the door. The saltwater fish tank in the dining room is the real find with children: the team will seat you beside it if a little one needs occupying. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone's hungry and wilting, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking. The sashimi and hand-rolled nigiri draw the most praise, along with the spicy dragon rolls, eel donburi and hot edamame; vegan and gluten-free needs are handled knowledgeably. Weekend tables get reserved quickly, so book ahead. Takeaway sushi has been patchier than eating in.
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.
