Until recently, Cambridge had its share of ethnic eateries, but was noticeably lacking in the sushi department. Enter The Ginger Exchange. Since opening last fall, this Cambridge newcomer has generated buzz in The Weekly Dig, The Boston Globe (the reviewer raved that the banana cheesecake rolls are “addictive”), and Beantown Bite, serving traditional sushi dishes alongside an eclectic assortment of other flavors from around the globe.

Either way, you’ll save 50% and enjoy an inventive array of sushi, sake, and other specialties. Sit at the bar and snack on starters like Tataki Teaser or Hamachi kama – paired with tasty cocktails such as the Sake Coolada or the flaming Scorpion-Bowl-For-Two ( your choice of flavors).  Or settle in at a table and feast on creative specialty rolls like the OMG (surf clam, cucumber, tobiko inside with tuna on top, drizzled with bright, complimentary sauces) or the Sake-2-Me (which happens to be Christine, the owner’s, favorite roll with warm salmon tempura, cream cheese, avocado, and cucumber).
