| - I needed a quick lunch while working downtown, so I stopped in and grabbed a veggie bowl with tofu and rica-rica sauce. The dining room itself has small, high tables, perfectly fine for eating in but not filled with ambiance that demands one to take a seat instead of takeout. Like the other reviews state, this place is super-speedy. My meal was ready in less than a minute. I received a bowl full of different vegetables that were crisp and flavorful, topped with a generous serving of extra firm tofu. The tofu was itself unflavored, probably to allow it to go with any sauce, but some spicing might have been nice. The rica-rica sauce definitely measures up to the hype. It is sweet with just enough heat, not too far from a sweet and sour chili sauce but still unique. My main complaint is that the food was literally drowning in it. I am not a huge fan of heavy dressing, so I ended up draining off a quarter cup. I'd suggest ordering the sauce on the side so that you can add however much you want if you like light dressing. However, if the summer wasn't so short, and there weren't so many lunch spots to try in Cleveland, I'd return for a decent, reasonably priced, generously portioned and relatively healthy lunch.
