Although the very best Japanese cuisine appears only to have made it to some of the UK's more exclusive restaurants in the major cities, there is some Japanese food to be found in Cambridge if you know where to look.
If you're unsure which ones to try, a quick read of the descriptions below and the reviews at Local Secrets could help you decide.
Teri Aki (Quayside, Cambridge CB5 8AB) is perhaps the best known Japanese restaurants in Cambridge, and certainly comes the closest to serving traditional Japanese food. Situated on the river in the heart of the city, they can get very busy and reservations are only accepted for large groups.
Little Seoul (The Basement, 108 Regent Street CB2 1DP), as the name suggests, specialises in Korean food rather than Japanese, but is a wonderful place to sample some bibimbab and kimchi. With Chinese and 'Asisan fusion' resturants popping up all over Cambridge, Little Seoul has stuck with what it knows best and serves good quality traditional Korean food in a friendly restaurant with very reasonable prices.
Yippee Noodle Bar (7-9 King Street CB1 1LH) is not strictly a Japanese restaurant, but serves what could be described as Asian-fusion, with dishes inspired or ruined (depending on your point of view) by a variety of different Asian cuisines.
Wagamama (36a St Andrews Street CB2 3AR) has a Japanese name which roughly translates as 'selfish' or 'spoiled', but you are unlikely to feel spoiled after a trip to one of these chain restaurants. The food is a confused mix of different Asian cuisines and even the Japanese dishes are a long way from authentic.
Yo! Sushi (Petty Cury, Lion Yard CB2 3NE) for a taste of the kaiten sushi experience is good fun, but unfortunately the food itself is as you'd expect from any chain restaurant, average at best.
The Salisbury Arms (76 Tenison Road CB1 2DW) is a great backstreet boozer, just off Mill Road, with Kirin Ichiban on tap.
