COCONUTS HOT SPOT– No, there won’t be any masked fighters flinging ninja stars at you or challenging you to a sword fight at Ninja Bowl. Instead, this new 46-seater is casual and chic, retaining a similar industrial-style décor to its predecessor, Department of Caffeine. But don’t expect the usual boring line-up of eggs benny and waffles here – it’s all about the titular Ninja Bowls.
Eight options feature on the menu, all of them hearty and affordable. First off, pick your base: go carb-free if you’re watching your diet, or toss in some garden greens for an additional $2; white quinoa will set you back $3, while $2 gets you orzo pasta with honey, multigrain mustard, miso and chilli, or ninja rice, a mix of vinegar-y Japanese pearl rice and brown rice with seaweed flakes.
