A short stroll from the theatre, this Asian-inspired spot is more of a special-occasion dinner than a scrambled family lunch — but it handles children well, with high chairs, easy buggy access and free parking outside. The big plates arrive genuinely huge, and the sides are big enough to share, so two children can eat off one order. Small plates are the ones to think twice about: the chicken satay skewers and salt-and-pepper baby squid earn their keep, as do the beef bao buns and the broccoli, but portions there are slim for the money. Prices sit above average, the room gets lively with a DJ some evenings, and vegan options are on the menu. The staff are attentive without hovering and happy to steer you through the menu. One parent called the portions "generous"; a cheaper lunch menu softens the bill.
