Copy link1. Nom Wah Tea Parlor
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Julia SNew York's first dim sum house opened in 1920 on a rough crook of gang-riddled Doyers Street. After a near-century in business, the family-owned parlor is one of the most atmospheric rooms in Chinatown, with checkered tablecloths over Art Deco tables and vintage lamps—Nom Wah is completely unlike the chaotic banquet halls that dominate the dim sum scene. (The NoLIta location is also nice, if not as fun.) The food, too, stands apart: Try the ultra-fluffy oversize roasted-pork bun, the flaky fried crepe egg roll and the tender stuffed eggplant filled with a spiced shrimp-and-squid mixture . https://www.timeout.com/new-york-kids/restaurants/theme-restaurants-in-nyc
2. Benihana
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Julia SThis Asian chain turns teppanyaki, a Japanese griddling technique, into dinner theater: The flying shrimp is an act that never gets old. Is it corny? Yes! And it's fantastic fun that your kid will love. You might even enjoy it, too. . https://www.timeout.com/new-york-kids/restaurants/theme-restaurants-in-nyc
3. Ninja New York
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Joshua KaufmanThis dining spot is perhaps best saved for the bravest diners with more adventurous palates. Upon entering, you're whisked away to a feudal ninja village. Be on your guard, because you're never sure when a ninja might appear out of nowhere in an attempt to test your mettle. Tables are situated in private dining rooms and the Japanese-themed menu includes plenty of sushi options, as well as some other crowd-pleasers, like burgers, mac and cheese, and teriyaki chicken. Any item on the menu with a ninja star is accompanied by some sort of show upon delivery to your table. Speaking of shows, a ninja magician will be sure to stop by while your party dines. . https://mommypoppins.com/new-york-city-kids/restaurants/nyc-restaurants-with-kids-entertainment-and-activities

6. Kings County Imperial
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Emy MooreA stone’s throw from the Williamsburg Bridge, this second Kings County outpost is all about the booth. The huge booths line the dark room, and can comfortably tuck away big families who want to delight in the reinvention of one of the greatest snack-tivities of all time: the (off-menu) pu pu platter, served on the ever-entertaining lazy Susan. Or devour an amazing crispy garlic chicken. Kids love the cold sesame noodles (without the chili paste) or just plain noodles with a little sesame oil. And the cocktails are strong, exotic, and often come in groovy glassware. The original Williamsburg location is great for families too, but this one has more booths. (Did we mention kids love booths?) . https://www.grubstreet.com/bestofnewyork/best-restaurants-for-kids-in-nyc.htmll

8. Jackson Diner
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Tiffany WoodsTake a ride on the 7 train to indulge in an all-you-can-eat Indian meal that’s sure to satisfy everyone, if only for the perennial playfulness of the buffet line. While the timeless Jackson Diner is wildly popular and somewhat of a tourist trap, the crowd works in your favor, as a little bit of chaos can mask any noisy or fussy kid (it happens!). While parents will want the tandoori wings or lamb saag or crispy okra, all kids love naa and plain dosas and after a little nudging, they’ll be perfectly happy with the chicken tikka with no sauce. . https://www.grubstreet.com/bestofnewyork/best-restaurants-for-kids-in-nyc.html
