Chinese Noodle · Belfast
A small city-centre spot that punches well above its size, this is the kind of place you can duck into with a hungry child and be eating within minutes — food comes out fast, which matters when someone's patience is running thin. The noodle soups get the loudest praise: beef brisket, chilli beef, braised pork, all in genuinely generous portions, plus lighter Chinese wraps if you want something quick before dinner. Sesame cold noodles and New Orleans wings have their devotees, and there's boba tea and matcha to keep older kids happy. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, buggy access and a few outdoor seats all help. The staff are warm and good at steering you towards the right dish. Worth knowing: it's small, there's a one-hour table limit at busy times, and no outside drinks.

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.
