Japanese · Sheffield
A small revolving sushi bar where the plates come round fast — handy when a child has hit the point of no return, and several families mention food arriving within minutes of ordering. Portions are generous and the midweek lunch deal is good value at the ££ mark. Bento boxes, curry don and the unagi don get the most praise, and there's real choice for veggie and vegan kids — the mock chicken katsu curry don and vegetarian tempura ramen come up again and again. High chairs and a kids' menu are available. It's cosy rather than roomy, so a bulky pram may be awkward at busy times. Worth knowing: the belt is help-yourself, but anything specific has to be ordered, and nobody always explains that on arrival. Service can be hit and miss — warm and chatty one visit, brisk the next.
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.
