"I have been to Doomies a few years ago, way before becoming an avid Yelp user, and my experience back then was far better than the experience I had this time around. The last time I went, I think I ordered one of the burgers with fries and the meal was really good. However on my most recent trip to Doomies, I ordered the Chicken Pesto Bowl, and I couldn't finish it due to how much I disliked it. It started off ok; it's basically a macaroni pasta bowl with chunks of tomato and \"chicken\" covered in a creamy white sauce. The pasta was good but the chicken and tomatoes were not. The chicken had a weird, spongy texture and the tomatoes were too much for the dish, in my opinion. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles; he is not a vegan, or vegetarian, or even a pescatarian, just a good friend willing to try something new, and he told me that his \"chicken\" was too dry. I realize that it's all vegan products imitating real meat so of course we can't expect perfection, but I just really can't get past the weird texture of the \"chicken\" on my bowl. \n\nOn the plus side, the place itself is great with a Street Fighter game free-to-play at the front of the store (if you're waiting to be seated, it's a fun way to pass the time), great service, and a cool washroom area for taking pictures. And considering that the last time I visited Doomies, the food was satisfactory, I think I just chose the wrong thing on the menu."^^ . . "1"^^ .
