Sushi · Cambridge
Right in the middle of Cambridge, opposite the Corn Exchange, this is a stylish sushi and grilled-skewers spot that manages to be lively without being overwhelming — so a child's chatter disappears into the general hum. There's buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, and the staff are the reason families come back: warm, quick to read the table, patient when nobody has decided yet, and generous with birthday touches like a card and a cake on the house. Food arrives beautifully presented, and the veggie and vegan menu is unusually good; the matcha dessert gets particular praise. Two honest notes: it's genuinely expensive for sushi, though the quality earns it, and paying can be slow at busy times. Book ahead, especially for a bigger family table.
