It was a good portion and flavored well. It definitely filled me up. The meat was good quality and the green sauce was delicious. The sweet plantains were tasty also. I like the empanadas but wish they had cheese inside. They were filled well. The outside was crispy and cooked well. The beef was the best one out of all 3. The sausage was flavorful also with flavors to make it pop from each topping. The owners were all very nice and accommodating! The lady who helped us was super sweet and friendly!! I'd return for the smash burger for sure. Check them out!!

Talat Market - A Blackout, Great Food, and an Unexpectedly Memorable Night…read more Overall Rating: 5/5 | 10/10 Experience- would recommend. Visited Talat Market on a Friday night around 7 PM. There were no reservations available online, so I decided to call. The hostess was super sweet and was able to squeeze us in. Now, this visit turned out to be quite the unique experience! Shortly after placing our food orders, the power went out throughout the restaurant and stayed out. At first, we thought there was no way we were going to get to enjoy dinner. Luckily, Chef Dani let us know that our order was the very last one to make it through before the blackout. The staff didn't miss a beat! They were quick and efficient in adjusting to the situation, making sure every table had candles and guests were taken care of. The restaurant cleared out fairly quickly, but since our food was the last of the night, it almost felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. And wouldn't you know it, just as we were finishing our final bites, the power came back on! It honestly made for a pretty great experience. Not that you'd ever wish for a restaurant to lose power, but in our case, it wasn't the worst thing that could've happened. Now, let's get into the breakdown! The service: Server - Anna: She was great! Super friendly, attentive, and gave excellent food recommendations. Chef - Dani: Super cool, but I mean, that's kind of a given when you're a Dani with an I instead of a Y! Talat Market has those neighborhood restaurant vibes that I love. Welcoming, relaxed, and personable. Anna was fantastic throughout the evening and gave us some great recommendations. Our table was located right next to the kitchen counter, which gave us the opportunity to meet and chat with Chef Dani. That was definitely an added bonus! Even with everything going on, the team remained friendly, attentive, and professional. Drinks: Super Cold Martini - 5/5 My favorite drink of the night! Crisp, refreshing, and served perfectly cold with subtle citrus notes. Not overly sweet, just a touch of sweetness that made for a really well-balanced cocktail. Definitely one I'd order again. Cuvée A French wine from the Loire Valley with fruity notes and hints of apple. Nice and refreshing. Talat G&T Their take on a classic gin and tonic. It was good, but personally, I'd probably explore another cocktail next time. Nothing wrong with it, just a matter of preference. Food: Crushed Cucumber Salad - 4/5 Listen, the apples MADE this dish! Something about the crunch of the apples paired with the soy sauce and sesame just worked. The combination of textures and flavors was delicious. I'm typically not even a cucumber person, but these were goodt! I'd absolutely order this again. Yen Bang Bao Bao - 5/5 Hands down, my favorite dish of the night! The standouts were the addition of fresh mint and that BOMB spring roll. The sweetness of the pork belly combined with the coolness of the noodles created such a great balance of flavors and textures. Everything just worked together. This was the winner for me! Massaman Beef Curry - 5/5 Really well executed! The beef was delicious, and the curry had a great depth of flavor. The potatoes paired perfectly with the richness of the sauce. For a curry dish, they absolutely nailed it. A solid 5! Gaeng Juet - 4/5 This was a warm, comforting broth with shrimp and pork meatballs, potatoes, and mushrooms. The broth was good, and I appreciated that the mushrooms still had a nice bite to them rather than being overly soft. Everything was prepared well, but the dish itself just wasn't necessarily my personal preference. Now, if we could give a 3, that's probably where I'd land. But since we can't, we're rounding up to a 4! Ambiance - 5/5 We really enjoyed our time at Talat Market! Obviously, the power going out wasn't ideal, but the way the staff handled everything made all the difference. The candlelight, the quieter atmosphere, and practically having the restaurant to ourselves turned what could've been a disappointing evening into a memorable dining experience. Sometimes the unexpected moments make for the best stories. Overall Experience - 5/5 10/10, would recommend! Great food, delicious cocktails, wonderful people, and a dining experience we'll definitely remember. What could've been a ruined dinner turned into one of those unexpectedly fun nights that makes dining out so enjoyable. Talat Market, we'll definitely be back! Hopefully with the lights on next time, but either way, you've got a fan! ------ Disclaimer: I rate on a scale of 1-5, but 3 isn't an option. It's just too neutral for me, kind of like the number 7. We all have our quirks, and this one's mine!

Out of all the pizzas, my absolute favorites were the Lemon Pepper Wet pizza and the Caesar Salad pizza. Both were super flavorful, creative, and honestly unlike anything I've had before. You can tell a lot of thought and passion goes into every pie. I also loved how interactive and intimate the experience felt. It wasn't just eating pizza, it was truly an experience. They are no longer in a brick-and-mortar location and currently do pop-ups only, so make sure y'all follow them to keep up with where they'll be next because you do NOT want to miss out. Highly recommend!

I originally came for the Oyster Rockefeller pizza, but it was sold out. However, the owner was…read moreincredibly nice and accommodating, so we decided to try the Wet Lemon Pepper pizza along with a classic Pepperoni. I love lemon and lemon pepper wings, so that pizza was right up my alley! My boyfriend isn't usually a fan of lemon pepper, but he still enjoyed a slice and said it was good. I also tried a slice of his pizza and the pepperoni was flavorful. It's set up right outside La Bodega and has plenty seating. It was nice and chill. The owner was very personable and I loved hearing how he came up with the different flavors. I will definitely be returning or going to Smorgasburg on a Saturday to try the other pizzas, especially that Oyster Rockefeller!

So me and my big back strutted in and came across this lovely restaurant and noticed they had an assortment of different bao. I chose three different proteins. And I thoroughly enjoyed them all! I got the pork belly bao, the beef Bulgogi style bao, and the hot honey shrimp bao. They were so flavorful and delicious and that bun so moist and perfect. Except for the wonderful lady that gave me my order, It's a pretty much non-personable restaurant. You're just pretty much placing your order at a kiosk. But it does make it easy. Just know what you want before you walk up to the kiosk because if you get a little overwhelmed with the options like me and take a long time you might end up with the long line of hungry people behind you lol Inside the hall, there's plenty of places to sit and the vibe is cool. They have events inside the hall by the way as well during the week, so if you stop by to grab a bao then maybe you'll able to take advantage of an event.

Best dumplings that I have EVER had. Ever…read more I visited Mushi Ni one afternoon while at The Works and when I saw the dumplings, I knew I had to check them out. I initially planned for the bao buns only, but the prices were quite reasonable thanks to the $16 lunch special - so I thought I'd try a bit more. So glad that I did. Mushi Ni has an electronic ordering system which was really easy to navigate. I chose my lunch special and added in my dumplings, and poof - the order was on the way to the kitchen. I walked around the food hall for a few so I don't really know how quickly my order was completed, but when I returned, the guy behind the counter saw me and started bagging it up. I found a seat outside for some natural lighting and started snapping away. I really went to enjoy and share the bao buns but figured I'd have a quick bite of the dumplings and keep it pushing. Listen. WOW. I was immediately taken aback because, what?! They were spicy, so savory and full of pork, with a little punch of lime in there somewhere. I didn't even need to have a second bite before I decided that I *had* to order a second round. Wow. The fries were also phenomenal! Super crunchy, the seasonings on top were such a nice touch. And the trend continued with the fluffy, flavorful bao buns. Seriously just an all-around amazing experience. I thought I'd enjoy their food but this experience exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to have more of those dumplings!

I know we are in Covid times, but I think they could have had at least three people walking around entertaining the guests. Our waiter, on the other hand, was super nice, and friendly. They also gave gingerbread cookies, that were hard as a rock. Will we be back next year? Probably not... we will visit a Miracle Bar in Atlanta, but not pay the steep entrance fee at the Fox for a nonshow. And, if you're looking to buy tickets, a friend found a $25 promo we could have used. The Fox does not accept refunds or promo codes after tickets are purchased, so be sure to use a promo at time of purchase.
