Chinese · Newcastle upon Tyne
Tucked behind a small shopfront on a busy high street, this Newcastle stalwart opens up into a huge, spacious room — easily enough space to park a pram beside the table without apologising to anyone. It's been going since 1962, and the cooking shows it: proper Cantonese rather than takeaway standards, with turnip cakes, beef rice rolls and dumplings that families come back for, plus generous portions at prices lower than you'd expect. Dishes land fast when it's busy, which matters with a hungry toddler. High chairs and a kids' menu are there. Two honest snags: it's up a flight of stairs, and service can be slow to notice you at quieter moments — be ready to catch someone's eye. Egg tarts only appear Sunday to Tuesday. Paid parking sits right outside.
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.
