Asian Fusion · Newcastle upon Tyne
Down in Chinatown, this is the kind of place where the menu booklet is thick enough to keep an indecisive child busy — Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese dishes, plus a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options. Prawn crackers land while you wait, which buys you a few minutes of peace, and food arrives fast even when the room is full. Portions are genuinely enormous; families regularly leave with a takeaway box. It's busy but not cramped, spotlessly clean (the toilets included), and the staff check in kindly without hovering, though drinks orders can be slow at peak times. The salt and pepper chicken, duck pancakes and kimchi prawn rice get the most love. Weekend evenings fill up, so book if you can, and skip the pricier stewed lamb ribs.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
