I enjoy going here and getting the stir-fried noodles with tofu and veggies (go to the back counter to order these, not the steam table). Please note that you may find the occasional meat bit in your veggie noodles because they fry them up in the same pan they do everyone else's noodes. The portions are huge -- I will often save half for a later meal. Ditto on the kim chee... there's something not so yummy about it.
The folks behind the counter were sweet and attentive, and the bi bim bap was indeed $5. I guess I'm spoiled by John's, but I wasn't impressed.

However... I have to remove a big stARRRR for not saying that there is fish in the egg salad sandwich. I would never think to ask if there was meat in a traditionally vegetarian sandwich! I'm not a restaurant professional, but I think there should be a rule that If you're using an unexpected ingredient, you should call if out on the menu. Especially if not doing so could cause someone an illness or to violate a principle they hold dear.

My favorites are the mac and cheese (big yum) and the spinach salad (sans walnuts).
Of course, my favorite thing (aside from an organic fried egg on my thin crust pizza) was the PIRATE SHIP STICKER (yes, I'm yelling) on my leftover box. How did they know?

I think we sat on every couch at Kantors, cute or not. And we found the perfect couch, loveseat/"chair-and-a-half" -- and a bonus $99 rug. We got free shipping, and voila! New furniture. It *was* easy!

We went here during Train Week on a free Saturday, and it was just a kid or two under mayhem. Still, we had a great time. It was easy to find our way there from the parking lot across the street, and there were lots of things to do. (Of course, we only played with train-related stuff, but that's how we roll.)
They have a cushy room just for bitties and crawlies, a messy art room, a water table room, a peanut-free snack room, and all kinds of other activities. Most of the activities would be enjoyed best by 2-3 year olds, but there was enough to occupy 0-2's and 4's to merit a trip. I'd like to go back on a calmer, paid, non-theme day and see how it compares.

Graceypoo's 56th Birthday Party at the Pop… (CANCELED)
September 18 7:00 PM
The menu instructs "ask for our vegetarian/vegan menu!" so I did. What I got was our friendly waiter. "You don't need a veggie menu. You have ME!" He then gave me a tour of all the apps and entrees I could have, and there was plenty to choose from. When our little bunny friend asked for the wine list, he asked her what she liked, and said a name that stopped her in her tracks just-like-that. Pretty impressive. As were the margaritas, guac, and the rest of the food.
Tropisueno was a great night out. It's like eating at a good friend's house, but with someone else doing all the cooking so your good friend can catch up with you.
