Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Japas Japanese. A cheeky lunch session. Quiet unassuming frontage on Brookside near Lensfield road. Interior is not unlike any unassuming quiet calm Japanese artisan place in Osaka or Tokyo etc. Extensive menu. I could be eating here weekly for a year and still not covered...all of its dishes, especially the sushi and sashimi section. For lunch soft shell crabs, the sushi & sashimi bento box, and pork belly ramen in miso stock. None disappointed. Soft shell crab was lovely tempura fried. Not greasy. Tasty on a bed of salad. Bento box was super generous. Rice on the sushi was just right in texture and temperature. Ramen with pork belly… delightful. This explains why during my time there, the Deliveroo and adjust Eat orders were coming thick and fast! Sorry about the photos. I couldn’t wait to tuck in before taking them!More

The best sushi in Cambridge and, frankly, comparable to the best anywhere. The quality of the fish is absolutely out of this world. I've eaten sushi all over the world and it rarely gets as good as this. Don't let their unassuming premises & location...deceive you: Japas Sushi is a treat.More

Went here for my birthday as I love sushi and Japanese food having lived in Japan for several years, so was pleased to find somewhere alleging to offer authentic food. Very disappointing; The place was empty whiich was worrying from the start. Unfriendly serving staff...- service without a smile. The sushi was ok - not amazing. The oddest part however was the yakitori - yakitori is a dish made of grilled chicken k thigh/leek kebabs with yakitori sauce. What we got was pver;ly deep fried chicken in batter on sticks with sauce on top! I questioned what it was and the waitress answered that it was yakitori. I explained that this is not yakitori and what it should be. She told me, bizarrely, that people in this country like it deep fried in batter!! What?! Utter rubbish. If people in this country want deep fried chicken, they go to KFC! We were made to feel unwelcome after that and left soon afterwards. I echo the comment from previous reviewer about the rude old man who works here too. Came up against him on previous takeaway experience! Don't know what it is about Japanese restaurants in Cambridge. Not one is authentic and need customer service training.More

Went for a weekday business lunch and were surprised to find we were the only customers. Decor is reasonable if a little tired, menu is very varied with lots of options and food is reasonable - salmon sashimi and California roll were particularly good, octopus...and tuna sashimi both disappointing, mixed sushi quite clumsy and rather uninspiring. Service was the real disappointment - we had to call the waitress to order, to get both rounds of drinks, to ask where the sushi we ordered was, in fact the only time we got any actual attention was when they made it obvious we should leave so they could close for the afternoon, turning music off 1/2 hour before advertised closing time and being very very clear we couldn't order any drinks after this. I can accept an element of being ignored or forgotten in a busy restaurant but when the waitress had no other customers and spent our entire visit staring at her phone its pretty poor, we saw 1 other member of staff when we came in and when we were encouraged to leave left but not inbetween. Its a shame as Im happy to go out of my way for good sushi and sashimi, I doubt Id return for very average food with below average service.More

I've had japas sushi countless times (both at the restaurant and take away) and it never disappoints. The prices are good considering that they give very generous portions. Best thing on the menu are the octopus balls! Only negative thing if you eat at the...restaurant is that the staff can be a bit blunt.More

We don’t really want everyone to know about Japas but here goes! Ever since Teri-Aki shut down this is our go-to for authentic Japanese food. It’s small and unassuming and slightly off the beaten track on Saxon Street but the food is just amazing. Today...we had 3 types of sashimi which arrived in hugely generous portions, fresh gyoza which were beautiful and lovely hot and salty edamame beans. We also shared a delicious Yaki Soba. Lots of choice of sake but also a nice hot green tea. Service was very friendly - it’s obviously very busy with take away and delivery too so sometimes it took a bit to get the attention of the lovely waitress but it’s great to see Japas has survived the pandemic and seems to be thriving!More

Ordered for home delivery a sushi set. Some of it was ok, some chewy and tough. Will not order again. Ohayo sushi is a much better value for money.
