Finding appropriate dining spots when children are present can be challenging. Family-friendly restaurants offer coloring materials, noise-friendly dining areas, and kid-approved menus. Kevin's in Sunset provides delicious phở with kids' portions, perfect for quieting down young diners. An Iranian restaurant allows parents to enjoy wine while children count decorative items. Tastebuds in Richmond combines soul food with a quick service experience, offering chicken and waffles along with coloring sheets to engage kids while dining.
On nights when the thought of cooking is less appealing than listening to the Bluey theme song for three hours straight, have a quick midweek dinner at Kevin's. The Vietnamese restaurant in the Sunset serves some of the best phở in town, with kid's portions available of their steak, meatball, and chicken versions. Setting a bowl of this noodle soup in front of a child is a great way to quiet them down for at least five consecutive minutes-you can maybe finally get around to beating your Candy Crush record while they slurp.
At this Iranian restaurant in Bernal Heights, you can have your kids count the number of decorative pots or wine bottles behind the bar while you sip on an icy glass of sauvignon blanc. There are big circular tables, ideal for spreading out with multi-person mazze platters for the adults and Tupperwares of dry Cheerios for the littles (or the sweet and sour chicken stew, which is tender enough for even the teething crowd). The mazze, which ranges from eggplant and walnut dip to pomegranate-heavy olives, are excellent to snack on as you recount the day's playground drama.
Tastebuds is a soul food-inspired spot in the Richmond where you can get in, fuel up for a day full of birthday parties and soccer practice, and get out within 45 minutes. Order at the counter, grab some coloring sheets and crayons for the kids, and look forward to crispy fried chicken and waffles, steamy bowls of grits.
