Sumo Salad


Great salad nook for a healthy alternative at lunchtime. I sampled the spicy BBQ prawn and it received an immediate Whooo Hoooo! from my tastebuds. (Description from Sumo Salad below)

"With succulent BBQ prawns, marinated in fresh lemon juice and coated with sweetened chilli and tomatoes, this salad is a true-blue classic. Rich red tomatoes, fresh basil and the sun-dried warmth of roasted capsicums keep the accent Aussie and the taste dinky di."

The roasted capsicums were perfection and the occasional bit of fresh basil really did the trick.

There are plenty of options to choose from... see selection. Or, you can design your own salad.

I'm a sucker for packaging and was quite taken by the solid non-soggy-after-a-while (important for slow eaters like me) 'pails' ala American sitcom Chinese takeout cartons.

Small sizes are really for snackers only... Regular-size packs a little more oomph although, a salad is always a salad, and unless you go for an option with meat added, the tummy will be growling within an hour or two.

Handy tip: If you're good with chopsticks, I reckon they're a better option than the little plastic forks on offer (both avail at the counter). I prodded at my regular-sized pail salad with the fork and found it to be a touch too short resulting in sticky fingers.

Sumo Salad also provides you with a loyalty card so, after you've munched on 10 salads, you get one free.

All in all, a touch on the pricey end of the foodie market for a bunch of leaves and perhaps a couple of prawns and slices of meat but, at least it's a damn fine bunch of leaves.

I found that the food could have been a lot fresher, the employees were rude and rushed and on several occasions my food was served to me cold and incorrect.
