A big, varied menu — sushi, bao buns, gyoza, bento boxes, noodles — arrives fast, which matters when you've got a hungry toddler; several families mention food landing within ten minutes of ordering. The lunchtime kids' menu is genuinely good value at around £6.50 for a main, drink and pudding, and even fussy eaters seem to clear their plates. High chairs, buggy access and vegan choices are all covered, and the tables are properly clean rather than sticky. Portions are generous and prices reasonable for the quality — the sizzling noodle and prawn plate in black pepper sauce gets particular praise, as do the custard bao for pudding. Staff are friendly and attentive, and there's a settled, happy feel to the place. It's a popular spot, so it can get busy and lively at peak times.
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.
