The menu was great, lots of items you can order pizza, pasta, and Indian! I got a few dishes, and I was happy with them all. I really enjoyed the veggie burger, and the tandoori paneer plate & the cauliflower wings. Everything was flavourful, and felt healthy, I didnt feel gross after eating this food (most places in surrey you feel like there is MSG and feel not good after eating it) but I felt leaving good! 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. I will certainly be back to try other items on the menu!

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 were a group of 10 and the place is a bit small, but they were still able to fit us. There's not a lot of people because this is still a hidden gem, but I can imagine it will get busier once it blows up. 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!

What an absolutely pleasurable experience…read more Located with the decades old Japanese Garden, this restaurant's ambience instantly puts you at peace. The food is fresh, mostly local and very well prepared. I am an active carnivore, yet I found the Roots Burrito to be very satisfying and full of flavor. Plenty of off highway parking.

The staff behind the counter were really nice and helpful. We ordered our food at the counter and then got a seat. To drink I got the pearls of jasmine tea and to eat I ordered the Blanchard rice bowl with chicken. My tea was really good, it had a nice smokey flavor with floral undertones. Terrific tea, I tried to chug it all before we had to leave so I didn't miss my flight. The rice bowl had a lot of different toppings and textures, everything was super fresh. The rice on the bottom was a little odd though, as it was soggy. It was described on the menu as coconut sticky rice, but it seemed more soggy and wet than sticky. Other than the rice the dish was very tasty. We had a nice quick lunch here.

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.

My only feedback was that it was too spicy for me. I ordered medium spice level but it felt like a very high level of heat. But it is probably because I have a low tolerance for spicy food. The potato kulchaa plate was beautiful. I didn't know what it was so I asked them and their explanation appealed to my palate. Basically an extremely delicious and satisfying naan stuffed with potatoes, herbs and spices. It was served with yogurt and chickpea curry and a few other condiments. We also ordered their veggie noodle dish, it was packed with flavour and yummy. Good portions. Affordable prices. We'll definitely go back, and can't wait to try more food. My only constructive feedback would be to provide better waiting services. We pressed the call button a few times and nobody came to our table. We waited for quite a while before trying to flag someone to help us. I'm not sure if the call button actually works or is a decor. Otherwise, really lovely place. Mesmerizing ceilings and lots of seating. The free car park outside is chaos, so many people trying to go in all directions and it can take a while to find parking. I didn't take many photos as we were hungry and ate most of the food before I remember to take photos! I didn't take a couple of the cool ceiling though!

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.
