Kokomo

Before I talk about what I had at Kokomo, I should make it clear that although it's basically a vegan place, I am NOT vegan. Not even really vegetarian. I do lean toward that when I make my restaurant selections, but I feel there's a completely different approach when it comes to talking about food when you have a wider choice. For vegans, there can be a beggars-can't-be-choosers bias.
It's a smallish place with a curvy communal table. Overall ambiance strives to be bright and spacious despite the floor space being actually rather small.
Like a diner your order at the counter. They are also available for delivery via DoorDash.



All-Day Breaky Macro ($13) tofu scramble, roasted squash, spicy tempeh crumble, corn, watermelon radish, greens, brown rice, cilantro crema, hemp hearts, sesame seeds, cilantro, green onion.

• Basically it's a big salad on rice with "fake egg" made up of tofu.
• Remember there's rice! It's hidden on the bottom and makes up maybe 1/4 of your bowl. If you eat up all the salad you'll end up with just boring rice and nothing to go with it.
• That tofu is bitter. But if you know tofu you already know this. I'm not good with bitter and I forgot, so for that reason I wouldn't order this again. I basically went with this choice because the lady at the counter said it was her favourite.
• Composition is interesting, colours are good -- very instagram-worthy, if pretty food is important to you. Taste is pretty good for the variety and textures. But...
• SALTY! Something in it make it quite salty for the most part and very salty in some parts. My friend ordered the Coastal Macro and it was also salty. Might be how they make bowls here but you definitely want to ask about it.
