Various locations (lots in the city)
I wouldn't normally give any airtime to a fast food joint, but it's time we loosened up. It's holidays, after all!
And actually, Sumo Salad is pretty good. Definitely top of the fast food (compost) heap.
Sumo is a salad bar, which also does sandwiches, rolls, toast, noodles, muffins, pitta wraps, juices, and cleans and polishes your car.
Well ok, maybe not the juices.
Anyway, the salads are the main attraction, so we shall never speak of the rest again. And the salads are good. Made with fresh ingredients, which actually taste like real food. And best of all, it's healthy. You can actually enjoy eating it, because the chicken does resemble chicken, and the salad looks similar to what you eat at home. You actually feel comfortable eating this food; a strange occurrence for fast food (if for some reason you were forced at gun point to eat Maccas, you would avoid thinking about what in fact you're eating - not so here).
You can pretty well make up your own salad, or go with one of their suggestions. Either way, it's roughly $8 for a regular salad. Don't go for the small, it's much too small for anyone to eat, and not that much cheaper.
My recommendation, in terms of taste and maximum health benefit (if you're going to lunch on salad you might as well make the most of it) I have surprisingly named Moroccan Chicken, as it's the Moroccan Lamb salad with chicken instead. Go figure.
The spicy BBQ prawn salad is also good, and for those of us who are less carb conscious (thank God) the salads come with a mini bread roll. Bonus!
Sumo Salad takes advantage of the emphasis on healthy food in the last five years, and well it should. It makes a viable, quick and decent place to eat when you're out.
