I'd second the other suggestion about Zoopa. My kids are 9 1/2 & 13 and love it there. Salad stuff, pasta salads, pasta and a couple kinds of sauce, soup, baked potatoes, and some breads and desserts. Yum! I'm getting hungry thinking about it... Happy 10th birthday! Kathy

The Best Salad Bar in Town
I've found the Southcenter and Bellevue Square Zoopas to be a little better than the one in Mountlake Terrace (yuck!). But over time, quality has definitely gone downhill. This may have something to do with Zoopas being sold by it's original owners (Restaurants Unlimited?-the same people who own !) about a year or two ago.

Fresh Choice tends to promote more healthier recipes in their cooked products and I find their soups to be a little bland compared to Zoopa's. As a side note, many of the Zoopa's restaurants have been sold to Fresh Choice. I'm not sure which Zoopa's still remain under the Restaurants Unlimited umbrella, but I believe the Mountlake Terrace and Bellevue Square Zoopa's still are. ========================================================================== Out of my mind.
