Japanese · Southampton
Eight years of regulars keep coming back to this Southampton spot, and it's easy to see the appeal with children in tow: buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu, and booths that give each table its own little bay — handy when a toddler is having a moment and you'd rather not have an audience. The staff are welcoming and speak English and Chinese, with menus in both. Sushi and ramen are the draw; the lava rolls and volcano rolls get named again and again, and vegetarian and vegan diners have plenty to choose from rather than one token dish. Prices are fair for the quality. It's cosy rather than roomy, so it's worth booking if you want a booth, and standards can be uneven — some families have found the welcome brusque and the loos in need of attention.
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.
