Japanese · Nottingham
A small Japanese spot in the city centre that works surprisingly well with children in tow — the atmosphere is calm and chilled rather than buzzy, with relaxing music, a very clean room and classic, cute decor, so nobody's shushing anyone. Service is quick and unfailingly warm; one family mentioned the team making a little bear for their daughter, which tells you plenty. Sushi is rolled to order, delicate rather than tightly packed, with soft rice and salmon people rave about — the salmon feast is a regular favourite, and there are vegan options and a kids' menu alongside high chairs. Portions divide opinion: many call it great value, one parent felt the boxes were small for the price, so check what you're ordering. Takeaway is a solid fallback on a bad day.
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.
