Restaurant Review: Pulp – Sandy, UT

pulp1Restaurant Review: Pulp
Location: Sandy, Utah
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ of 5
Mom approved: No. No changing table in the bathroom. 😤

Overall impressions:
Food is tasty, fresh, and loads of healthy options on the menu with both vegan and meat eater choices. I am a bit of a restaurant environment snob and found that this wasn’t the best location for business breakfast meeting – too loud with all the cement and metal decor. But us hippie-yoga-Mormon types still loved the food enough that we’ll be back.

Restaurant Review: Taste of India – Layton, Utah

taste of indiaFood: At lunchtime, Taste of India has a great deal for $9.99. You choose 2 of the 6 options – I had the madras lentils and also veggies in creamy tomato based sauce – that come in small bowls. Paired with basmati rice, 2 large naan, vegetable pakora appetizer, green salad and dessert donut – all on one huge platter. So much food couldn’t finish it all! Haven’t been there for dinner yet, but the lunch was flavorful, plentiful and reasonably priced.

Environment: The booths allow for private conversation and comfortable for 4 adults. There are some long tables as well that worked well for large gatherings. Wait staff was friendly and attentive, checking in with us appropriately.

Overall, a great spot for vegetable and meat lovers alike!
4/5 stars

Restaurant Review: Dopo Jazz

dopojazzFun night @dopojazz tasting their yummy menu. I’m not much of a sweets fan, but this lime sorbet with berry compote packed some pucker power tartness and refreshing! Nice live jazz music added to the ambiance of this new downtown Salt Lake restaurant.

 

 

Restaurant Review: Subway – Utah

subwayI was running between appointments starving but needed something fast for  lunch. So, thought I’d give Subway another try. Pleasantly surprised to find they have a Veggie Patty option now. It was surprisingly tasty, moist and filling. Trying to avoid too many bread carbs, I went with the 6″ size. Loaded with as many veggies as you like, it’s a pretty good option. Mine had spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, banana peppers, and green bell peppers. I opted for sriracha for sauce instead of mayo or mustard. All-in-all, I thought the service at The District Subway was great – friendly, reasonably fast, and helpful.

Restaurant Review: Pawit’s Royal Thai Cuisine – Utah

pawits-thai

Restaurant review: Finally made it to Pawit’s Royal Thai Cuisine in Holladay, Utah. Fantastic fresh Thai dishes! We enjoyed curry puffs and sticky rice with peanut sauce for appetizers. Their house green salad was huge and a whole sliced mango (I saved some for dessert). The Tom Kha soup is on the sweet side, but lots of veggies. The Spicy Tofu dish is fantastic… Plenty of veggies and the sauce has some kick! If you want the “real” Sriracha, ask for it on the side… Use sparingly, unless you like your taste buds fried. Great restaurant for date night, family meals out or business lunch. Kind and helpful wait staff. Make sure to check out the bathroom…
