"Forging an unconventional partnership, a Japanese cafe has moved inside a children’s indoor playground in Spring Valley, serving an Asian fusion menu for adults, while entertaining kids aged 7 and under. Eat N’ Play operates out of the Adventure Indoor Playground at the Spanish Palms Plaza retail center, located at the intersection of Russell Road and Jones Boulevard, and a short walk from Mr. Mamas Breakfast & Lunch. Designed for young children to enjoy a “ball pit, slides, trampoline and an interactive game,” the Eat N’ Play menu caters more to the adults, including $3 small bites choices of edamame, or a seaweed salad, a $5 soy braised pork belly bowl, and the $4.50 spicy wontons. Entrees include a braised beef stew noodle soup, stir fry noodle dishes, a $7 teriyaki chicken rice bowl, and the $12 steak katsu curry." - Bradley Martin
