I stopped at this cafe while I was in Squamish. I chose this place for lunch for I had found really good reviews online and Kululu exceeded my expectations on all levels. I love Japanese restaurants that are run by Japanese people and this place has that authentic Japanese cafe feel to it. I loved the atmosphere of the place when I walked in. It is clean, bright, minimalist, and cute. You have a clear view of The Chief from any table inside the restaurant. They have poke bowls with tuna, tofu, and vegetables, and also have udon noodles with chicken and vegetables. If you are ordering a poke bowl, I highly recommend that you get a combo deal for extra $3 which will get you a bowl of miso soup, gomaae, and edamame. Their miso soup was the best I had ever had. And yes, I have been to high end Japanese restaurants in Vancouver, but not many people seem to know how to make good miso soup; it is either too salty or too watery with no flavour in most places. Kululu got it right though and I enjoyed every drop of my miso soup. Also, their gomaae sauce was absolutely delicous with just the right amount of nuttiness and sweetness. Now I think of it, I should have asked the lady at the shop how they made the sauce. For my tuna poke bowl, I asked for hot sauce and they gave me a little bowl of spicy sauce made with Korean chili paste. It was quite good. The sashimi was fresh and the temperature of the tuna was perfect. It was such a delightful meal and I enjoyed every bite of it. If this place were in Kitsilano or Yaletown, I would go there every week. So, the next time you are passing through Squamish, please make sure to stop at Kululu and have a poke bowl with a bowl of miso soup. You...
Read moreAfter our stay in Nita Lake Lodge, we decided to stopover on our way back to Vancouver and eat at this nice rustic place called Kululu Cafe. The staff were nice and friendly and the food was good.
I ordered the salmon poke bowl and the portion were plenty but the salmon itself were not that many so hopefully we can get more portion for the salmon next time!
They have a Japanese store inside so if you're looking to buy your groceries, you can get it there as well.
What's a bit weird though is they do not check vaccine cards right now even though it's mandatory province wide as they seem to not be a registered restaurant or something along that lines according to the note they put up in...
Read moreThe best kept secret in Squamish. We are here today for lunch so started with Miso soup the I am having the tuna trio bowl, yum looks great and it was. Now please let me comment about them Restaurant, from the outside where I am sitting it's nice, clean and tidy but does not have the good looks the inside is so much better but on traditional Japanese style it's simple, very clean and tidy. This has the most fantastic food that comes out of the kitchen. As the saying goes Don't judge the book by the cover. That applies here for sure. Such nice owners. Now they have moved to new premises they have maintained the superior quality and the new...
