| - Omg this place is sooo photogenic! It's super well decorated, cute and so coloful!!
I went there with a friend from Regina last week and had a great time. It was pretty late already when we made it there, so the place wasn't very busy. We picked a table (the surfboard one), then changed to another one, then another. The whole place looked so cool!
The menu was well explained, with all the ingredients listed. My friend got the Juicey (salmon, avocado, brown rice, wasabi aioli, teriyaki, cucumber, crunch mix and salad) and I got the Hulk (baby greens, avocado, wakame, edamame, wasabi peas, jalapeno, dry pineapple, shiso, pickled cucumber, mint, cilantro and wasabi dressing). We took a few photos while waiting for the food. It didn't take long before two beautiful bowls of super healthy stuff showed up at the counter for us. Although we didn't ask for take out, the food was served in clear plastic bowls, which I think was an oversight. The servings were decent, but smaller than I thought (I think I expected more because of Le Poké Bar). The first few bites were a bit dry, since there wasn't a lot of sauce and a salad in a small bowl is always kind of hard to mix. Then all the different toppings started showing up. The candied pineapple was a particularly pleasant discovery. Who knew that would be delicious with avocados and wasabi peas?? All these flavors that initially seemed disparate came together in a delicious and interesting way. I liked it a lot.
I find that Koa Lua has much more interesting flavors and combinations than Le Poké Bar. But if you're looking to fill up a very hungry tummy, I'd go to the latter (it's also a tad less expensive).
Note: they were selling "butter mochi" by the counter. Not sure how that would taste like, but sounds great!
