About Fai's Kitchen
On Chirton Green in North Shields, Fai's Kitchen serves Chinese food for collection, taken at the counter on a walk-in basis. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, staying closed on Mondays, and runs evenings only rather than through the day. The format keeps the operation focused on preparing and handing over orders rather than seating diners in. With no booking system in place, customers arrive and order directly at the counter, waiting on site while dishes are prepared. The evenings-only schedule shapes the kitchen's rhythm across its six-day week at 34 - 36 Chirton Green.

“opped into this little independent coffee shop on a rainy afternoon and it did the job without blowing me away. The place has a nice cosy feel — exposed brick walls, plenty of plugs for laptops, and some comfy armchairs by the window that are great for people-watching. I went for a flat white and it was solid: decent crema, not too bitter, and the milk was properly steamed (no scalded taste like you sometimes get in chains). My partner had a cappuccino and said it was average — good foam but nothing special in terms of flavour depth. Pastries looked fresh; we shared a pain au chocolat that was flaky and buttery enough, though it wasn't warm. Service was friendly but a bit slow when it got busy — one barista handling everything, so there was a short queue. Prices feel about right for the UK high street (£4-ish for a large coffee), nothing outrageous.”
