text: Went on a Sunday evening, and wasn't thrilled when I walked in.  The place is pretty drab, lacking character.  It looked lonely in there.  We were the only customers at the time, but it was still lonely even after a couple more customers entered.  The room is in need of decoration.\n\nWe split a spicy falafel pita, which wasn't spicy.  I was impressed by the falafel bar which had (almost) all the toppings you could dream of...tahini, hot sauce, pickles, pickled beets/turnips, lettuce, carrots/onions, and kalamata olives.  The pita was good and reasonably priced for the size.  I think they need to reevaluate \"spicy\" and add some heat to the seasoning.  I'd hate to find out how bland the regular falafel is.\n\nWe also each got a plate from the cold salad bar, for which they charge by the pound.  Only one of the salads wasn't vegan, and the employee was nice enough to ask us about our dietary preferences and point out the salad made with mayo.  I got one scoop of every salad (except the pasta with mayo and the green lettuce salad) and wasn't terribly impressed with any of them.  The pasta salad with broccoli and sun dried tomatoes was ok, as was the black eyed peas with corn and cabbage and the plain hummus.  The quinoa salad was unremarkable, and the lentil salad was dry, undercooked, and lacked any flavor.  If there was another salad on my plate, I don't remember it, and that means it wasn't remarkable either.\n\nI think anyone with some basic cooking experience could easily make most of this stuff at home with better flavor.  As it is, Tsom may only survive if college students who don't know how to cook patronize the place.  Not sure that we'll be going back except for a cheap falafel pita if we're on the run.  Since it's new, I'm hoping the owner will make some changes to the decor and the menu.
