Japanese · Manchester
A teppanyaki grill where the cooking happens right in front of you is, it turns out, a brilliant distraction for a fidgety child — there's a whole performance to watch while you wait, and the food comes off the hotplate as it's done rather than all at once at the end. Portions are generous for the price, and families come away saying it's genuinely good value for the money. The salmon gets particular praise, and everything arrives beautifully presented. The team are patient and courteous, there's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the staff take time to chat. It's a lively, sociable room rather than a quiet one, so it suits children who like a bit of noise more than a baby who's trying to nap. Worth booking at weekends, as Chinatown gets busy.
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.
Chinatown dim sum with generous sharing portions, a kids' menu and high chairs — book ahead, as lunchtime queues get long.
