Sushi · Newcastle upon Tyne
Small, unassuming and genuinely brilliant — this is a tucked-away sushi spot in Newcastle where the food punches well above the modest frontage. Plates arrive looking beautiful: bright sashimi, neatly rolled sushi with bold sauces, and an eel dish people rave about. The team is quick and attentive, topping up drinks and taking time to explain dishes to curious children, and prices sit in fair middle ground for the quality. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and a few outdoor tables. Two honest things to know: it's tiny and doesn't take bookings, so go early or expect a wait, and there's no cutlery beyond chopsticks — worth packing a fork if your child isn't confident with them. Large orders take a while, but families say it's worth it.
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.
