Gobo
Award-winning Gobo is one of those restaurants that would be easy to make fun of. The all-vegetarian menu talks about serving food that pleases the five senses, the décor is a soothing blend of earth tones and organic materials, and juice-and-seltzer combos cost seven dollars.
We know.
But the food, especially the veggie burger with yam fries and sweet homemade ketchup, always makes us too full for sarcasm. On a recent visit, we had the aforementioned burger, which doesn't crumble or get soggy like most non-meat patties, along with the spicy Vietnamese noodles, full of seitan and other proteins that tasted like perfectly salted chicken and pork but weren't, with a side of tofu rolls.
To drink? The virtual Buddha tonic (peach, silk flower, and ginseng) and a make-your-own juice blend (we had apple, pineapple, and orange).
We know. We know.
