Chinese · Newcastle upon Tyne
A busy Chinese kitchen in the city centre that handles families without fuss — high chairs are there, there's a kids' menu, and the buggy gets in the door. Portions are famously generous for the price, so two children can happily share one main, and food tends to arrive quickly, which matters when someone's patience is thinning. Go at midday and you'll have the room largely to yourselves; weekends and Lunar New Year get properly packed and service slows. The salt and pepper chicken, crispy shredded beef and the iron wok tofu (a genuinely good vegan option) come up again and again, and spicy dishes are clearly flagged on the menu. Parking nearby is the real snag — plan for a car park. The staff are warm and nobody rushes you out; regulars call it "fresh and on point" every time.
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.
