As PP has stated, it depends on the kids. You should have no problem eating there as a vegetarian. They a vegetable entree, green salad, miso soup, edamame, vegetarian sushi, and the list goes on. For the kids it depends on their eating habits. My kids love the food and the entertainment. It is a fun experience and keeps them entertained throughout the meal. In reality, the dishes are composed of a protein, noodles, vegetables, and rice. They can choose between many items including steak, shrimp, and chicken. The food is isn't that adventurous. It is just a different type of sauce than they might be used to. Since the chef is cooking your meal right in front of you, you can ask them to go easy with the butter,sauce, sesame seeds, etc. I hope this helps.
