Areca Asian Bar

Situated in the heart of old Cambridge you'll find some of the best Sushi and other Asian delights. Pairs well with sake and Sapporo. Atmosphere suits both solo travelers and large groups. Enjoy!

Food is ok. Salmon poke only includes few salmon. Few ribs as well. Chicken Katsu is not bad. The light is a little dark.

They’re closed between 3pm and 5pm. It’s not listed on their *website, their *Google listing, their *Apple listing, or even the *Front Door of the location!!! The only way you find out is by standing at the front door and an employee coming out and telling you. It’s an unrealistic expectation to have people call the restaurant to see if they’re open in the middle of the day when their main hours that are listed everywhere say that they are. So after you have paid for an Uber to take you all the way there and it’s freezing out in the middle of the day, you get there, and they’re closed. Zero effort is made to let you know in ALL of the appropriate places online, that they will not be serving you food after you’ve made a sacrifice and paid money to get to their location and give them your business. As a digital marketer, this is the type of thing that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, especially when the solution is a simple one. I’m out the money I spent on the Uber to get there and now I’m out more money to go somewhere else. Over a solution that takes 20 minutes and was not implemented, i’m highly inconvenienced and have had a horrible experience.

Great Experience! We recently dined and had a wonderful time. The staff were friendly, and the food was fantastic. I especially enjoyed the crab pasta, hot tempura soba. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything felt well-paced. Definitely a place I’d visit again!

the caramelized pork belly is really good, as well as the mango tango rolls. I love the yuzu whiskey drink, really tasty

I ate the Tempura Soba and it was very delicious. The tempura prawns was very crispy and the light, refreshing soba noodles complemented them very well. The service was excellent and I love the relaxing ambience.

Food was okay, but nothing really "wow"-d, which was a bit disappointing given the prices. I would recommend the soba over the sushi. Atmosphere was more casual than the pictures alluded to. Not an issue, but writing it to set others’ expectations
