Large selection of various Asian and Mexican foods (new taco place just opened up and has churros!), along with wonderful... desserts. The place is large but a little bit noisy. I got the bulgogi dupbop, which was excellent. BTW, Ppikki the robot isawesome! Lol the only downside was that the taco order took WAYYYYYYY too long to be done. Read more
Our overall experience was good. Inside the hall was spacious and clean. My family just relocated from NC unfortunately we don't... have much variety so findly places like this is a treat. My hubs and I decided to get two different bahn mi, grilled pork andbeef with fried eggs. From a different stall, we got the bulgogi tang for our 2.5 year old. The other two dishes shown was myniece and her boyfriend's meal. The bahn mi was absolutely wonderful from the crusty bread, to the spicy condiment and the soup.The grilled pork was a bit on the sweet side and a tad bit tough but once you dip it in the soup, they just balance well in yourmouth. The beef bahn mi with egg was my favorite. Next time I'll ask for the eggs to be fried easy. The beef was tender and hada good flavor. The bulgogi tang was a bit flavorless. My little one ate a few bites but wouldn't eat anymore unless I gave hersome of that spicy condiment that came with the bahn mi. Since I didn't get to see the menu, I just thought we would get somesides like kimchi with it but you had to buy those separately. The dish could have done without the tteok. I would have likedthe beef in more of a bigger solid piece instead of like ground beef in small crumbs but again very suitable for young kids. Ithad lots of veggies and noodles, my favorite part of the dish. I couldn't tell you what my niece and her bf got but they said itwas good. They eat here from time to time as they are local. I'll definitely be back to try the bakery. Read more
This review is for the Popup Poutine stall. Before you dig any further into this short review and its 3-star rating, the reader... should know that (1) this was the first time my wife and I ever had poutine and (2) we may very well not be fans of it, ingeneral. We ordered the traditional poutine with meat sauce (they also have a vegetarian option) for about $20 and waitedroughly 10 minutes for it to be prepared. It looked great and filling, which it very much was, but was unfortunately somewhatcold/lukewarm. Our low rating is due to thinking that the fries were not fresh, the sauce not being particularly meaty, and thetemperature. Perhaps poutine is traditionally served this way, but it's unfortunately not something we'll likely orderagain. Our general impression of all the restaurants (we've been here two times before for boba, sushi, banh mi, and popcornchicken) here is that the food and signs look great, food tastes not as great, and is far on the pricey side with a startlinghigh minimum tip choice (about 15%). Come here mostly for the modern, small food court feel and a hang out with friends. :) Read more
Incredible food hall with plenty of options. We decided to meet our friend here for lunch prior to going to our family's house.... With so many options, we ordered some food from the Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese menu. To finish it off, we got some drinksfrom Monster Tea. I ordered the spicy chicken dupbop, unfortunately the chicken was way overcooked. From the Japanese menu, weordered some appetizers, takoyaki and okonomiyaki. Both of these items were delicious. Overall we really liked this place andwould definitely give it another try when in the area. Read more
Nov 2021 This review is mainly for the onigiri (rice ball) at Japomen. For Pike Kitchen in general, it looks like they have... closed the individual counters and are just taking collective orders. The pickup section is in the far right corner, by therestrooms. You can identify it by the sheer number of paper takeout bags. I believe you can order in store, as there's a largeorder tablet by the pickup counter. Note masks are required and you are able to dine indoors. Does not look like there's tableservice though. All the staff members were behind the counters making or packing up food. You also have to prod a staff memberto figure out which takeout bag is yours. They are not very proactive towards customers right now, but still friendly. Theonigiri was very delicious! I ordered a lot of them and liked most of them. Note the fancy packaging, which more and morerestaurants are using these days. It keeps the seaweed separate from the rice, so the seaweed stays nice and crisp. However, itcan be a little confusing and difficult to remove. There are directions on the bottom. First tear off the red strip that dividesthe packaging into 2 pieces, one on each side. Remove each side one at a time. Note you have to unfold the corners before youcan pull it off. Be aware that the rice may end up sticking to the packaging! It's common for the onigiri to break in half asyou pull off each side (luckily the seaweed wrap keeps it all together). To reduce breakage, I recommend a micro-pulltechnique. I don't know how to describe it, but basically instead of continuous pulling, you do rapid tiny pulls. Start at thecorners so the wrapper is free of the top of the onigiri, then do the bottom. The onigiri may still end up breaking, but thelikelihood is drastically reduced. Also note the packaging is not air-tight; the corners of the onigiri are open to theair. Very good onigiri. A little expensive, but with a generous amount of filling. I think most of the price is because of Read more
I absolutely love this place. Its one of my faves for lunch. Its a little on the pricey side but whats not nowadays. Try the Bao... Bun 3 piece in chicken teriyaki, and the Harumaki Japanese style vegi rolls are to die for.. So if in the area its worth a stopin for some tasty Asian treats! Read more
