Hainan House London brings the delicate, lesser-known flavours of China's southern island to Upper Street, and parents with adventurous eaters are loving it. The restaurant has highchairs and space for buggies in its minimalist dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows. Reviewers praise the thoughtful service — "they kindly reminded us that the mango chili sauce was quite spicy and suggested tasting a small amount before dipping," one parent notes — and describe staff as genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. The Hainan chicken rice draws regulars back for its ginger-garlic sauce, while the beef claypot and tofu puff with mushroom get consistent praise. The lunch menu offers great value. Families near the King's Head Theatre use it for pre-show dinners. Come for food that feels nourishing rather than heavy, and for an atmosphere where staff are attentive to families with children.
