Pluto Salad Bar, Juices & Catering — Restaurant in Bay of Plenty

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I’m not one to write reviews like this, but if it helps someone save their money - I will!

Today I visited this shop and asked if they had strawberry matcha. The guy said he had strawberries and could make it, which was kind. He blended almond milk, frozen strawberries, and ice, but when it came to the matcha, he couldn’t find the whisk and used a fork instead (which doesn’t work well, wasn’t mixed properly or for long enough).

When I tried it, it was thick, lumpy, and sour - nothing like a strawberry matcha. He replied, “Oh well, that’s what you ordered and green tea is sour,” which came across as really rude.

We popped in to Pluto a few weeks ago when our previous favourite Gratitude Eatery was unexpectedly closed (again). We each had - and thoroughly enjoyed- a poke bowl with the salmon option. The salmon portions were generous and (because I'm not good at eating salad greens without some mayonnaise or balsamic dor flavour/ interest, I noted that the) amount of mayonnaise was perfect, enough to last to the end:) A stunning, healthy meal that we each enjoyed thoroughly, thank you. And if you'll add dandelion lattes to your offering, we'll be back every week...
