FOOD - Eggplant & Beancurd ($10.50): how does one describe how the this dish's namesake is amazing with Napa cabbage, a boiled egg, all on a bed of rice? Points for portion, taste, and price! - Vegetarian BBQ Pork Rice ($11.75): if there was a bento box that was healthy yet tasty, this may be it! From the rolls, Napa cabbage "salad", boiled egg, and the generous portion of imitation BBQ pork on rice - each compartment is a treat! === 3. SERVICE For a food stall in a food court, the service was good in English, and I heard it going well in Mandarin also. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's the Parker Place food court, so it's as good as you are comfortable with it. Despite the closeness of the tables to each other, wheelchairs and baby strollers will fit. Parking is as good as your luck in the constantly-busy shopping complex lot.

Saha poutine had tons of interesting toppings, from halloumi to tahini to fried onions. Very substantive and easy to pretend it's a bit healthier than most poutines.

Service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and modern with a nice indoor/outdoor space. A more casual restaurant that's great for a laid back lunch or dinner.

We were a group of 10 and the place is a bit small, but they were still able to fit us.

The place is also a bit out of the way, but very worth it to come just for the food. (Which is s-p-i-c-y!) Very glad we came here. Highly recommend!

I've really enjoyed everything I've tried at Kokomo and this was no exception. The burrito was flavourful and very filling. More complex flavours than the usual Southwest-style bean burrito. Good vibes. The staff person up front was very friendly and always had a smile. The store design is bright and fun, and the tables were kept clean. Vegans, vegetarians, or those inclined toward plant-based eating will most appreciate Kokomo, but the food is interesting and objectively good enough the I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something different.

The drink was nice and refresh and was great on a hot day. The beef noodle came with an egg and was actually pretty good. We came here during prime dinner time and was surprised how empty the restaurant was. The food was not bad. They serve Taiwanese food or basically same as the restaurant that used to be here. Not sure if it is the same owner who just changed the name of the restaurant or if it is under an entire new management. Service was good. There are plenty of parking spots. I will definitely be back for sure.

It also came with a marinated egg, which was nice. The combo included a refreshing iced jasmine tea (not sweet btw, if that's your thing!), and at $14.99 for the whole meal, the price was quite reasonable. The only downside was that our drinks took a while to arrive, and the wheat germ milk tea my sister ordered was just "not it." The texture of the pearls didn't meet our expectations, and the tea flavor was lacking. I would probably come back for the noodle soup, but I'd skip the bubble tea next time.

Great spot for healthy & delicious kimbap! Skip the tteokbokki…read more Leaving Vancouver and heading down to Seattle, we wanted something healthy for a quick bite, so we stopped by this place. They specialize in keto kimbap and bowls. We ordered the Chichi Kimbap, Keto Soy Salmon, Tteokbokki, and Fish Cake Soup (Oden). The weather was a bit chilly that day, and the warm fish cake soup was absolutely perfect for warming us up. Chichi Kimbap (Tuna & White Kimchi): It's made with multi-grain rice and packed with fresh fillings. It tastes very clean and subtle--at first bite, you might think "is this it?", but the more you eat, the better it gets! The refreshing white kimchi and savory tuna make a perfectly balanced, clean combination. Keto Soy Salmon: Packed with avocado and marinated soy salmon. It was a savory, umami-rich, and super healthy roll. Tteokbokki: Honestly, this was a miss. It was served cold, lacked flavor, and the rice cakes were a bit hard. Trader Joe's frozen tteokbokki is actually better than this. I'd definitely recommend sticking to their kimbap or sandwiches instead. We also grabbed some to-go: another Chichi Kimbap and the Natoroo Kimbap (Natto kimbap). The natto one was such a unique delicacy! Just like the Chichi, the first bite felt a bit unfamiliar, but it was incredibly addictive. The more we ate, the more we loved it. We kept saying "I'm so full," but still managed to polish off every single bite. Service & Vibe: The service was very friendly. It's more of a grab-and-go/to-go focused cafe, so there is only one table available for dining in. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a healthy, quick, and satisfying meal!

The place was busy when I came in and the staff was very nice and attentive Overall it is very clean, and there is absolutely no meat or eggs there.

My boyfriend and I were planning on watching a movie at the nearby Strawberry Hills Cineplex. After…read morea search of restaurants in the area, we found this one. A vegetarian bistro and we had just been talking about trying more vegetarian dishes? Why not? As the name suggests, it is small and quaint, buried in a strip mall and one of those "blink and you'll miss it" places. The decor reminded me of a contemporary restaurant where everything is chosen based on their ease of ability to be cleaned (and for the record, the place was clean), with enough seats to sit about 15 people, and I may be rounding up. We were the second table to enter and we were greeted promptly and given the menus. Perhaps I was misled by the restaurant name and did not really know what to make of the meat dishes that I saw: Beef burger? Chicken Nuggets and Fries? Crispy Chicken Burger? I saw nothing to indicate they were the vegetarian version of chicken nuggets or beef burgers, and about 2/3 of the menu was vegetarian or vegan options, so I surmised they must have put a few meat options there to satisfy any meat eaters that wander through the door. I settled on the Spaghetti with Veggie Balls and the boyfriend ordered the Veggie Curry. The pasta was quite filling (included garlic bread) and I discovered the veggie balls and/or sauce was a tad above my spiciness tolerance level, and was even spicier than the Veggie Curry. In hindsight, I wasn't surprised: it is my personal experience that a lot of the times a vegetarian dish will have a lot of spices added in. Chalk it up to not reading the ingredients carefully and thinking things through. In terms of service, I thought it was great. Water glasses were filled regularly, the waitress checked up on us to ask how we were enjoying the food. I would be very interested in coming back and trying other items on the menu!

We liked how easy the ordering system was. You pick up a menu, choose a table, decide what you want, and then order and pay at the counter. They give you a number, and they bring your food and drinks to your table. It's straightforward. The fresh, local ingredients stood out, and we would recommend this place if you want a tasty and filling meal. The portions were just right for our big appetites. The atmosphere was so relaxed we almost wanted to stay longer. We'd recommend starting the Nanaimo road trip here. Food: 5/5 Must Try!
