Japanese food is renowned for using the best fresh, seasonal ingredients and its beautiful presentation. There are lots of interesting and tasty dishes that your family should try and Tokyo sushi can be made with vegetables if your children don’t like fish. Familiar western dishes are widely available if you have fussy eaters and you don’t have to use chopsticks (but it might be fun to try!) Here is our selection of the Best Places to Eat with Kids in Tokyo!
#1. Baby King Kitchen
Situated near Koenji Station, Baby King Kitchen is a kid-friendly spot with whitewashed walls and leather sofas. The food isn’t fancy but many dishes are child-themed (based on the Japanese cartoon Studio Ghibli) and the portions are very generous! For example the child’s lunch plate consists of a hamburger, battered king prawn, fried egg, rice, salad, wiener sausage and small dessert! To help guarantee your comfort the restaurant also has:
- a baby changing station
- an indoor swing and slide
- and a library of children’s books.

Enjoy stunning views of Tokyo bay and a relaxed atmosphere at Bills Odailba, a restaurant run by the Australian chef Bill Granger.

#4. Pizzeria-Trattoria Napule
Pizzeria-Trattoria Napule is well-known in Tokyo for its authentic Neapolitan pizza so it’s a popular place to eat.
