Food (5/5): Got the mucho mango and sweet cream cold brew. Both were quite good! I particularly liked how smooth cold brew was and the freshness of the mango. Service (4/5): No issues with the service and the food and drink came out fast. Ambiance (5/5): Nice shop with LA vibes and clean interior. The music playing is nice and fits the overall vibe.

I'd totally franchise a Playa Bowls given my healthy obsession to the quality, taste, & decor! This location has the kindest staff who are patient & helpful with you choosing what new to try. I finally switched up my norm and tried the green kale bowl in a custom way that the cashier ended up being able to save me money on! I was sad she couldn't honor my day-old coupon...I'm a frequent rewards holder who puts everyone on to this place. I haaaaaate hate the location but I get it's a fair choice for now given the school nearby. It's so cute inside - the decor and ambiance feel like you're stepping into a prettier city than what's outside of it lol & an oasis at the same time. Love its open floor plan. There was also a tv inside which I found nice to motivate employees when customers aren't there. There's enough seating there to satisfy. I'm happy to see another Playa Bowls! Go, enjoy!!!

Fall Special Açaí bowl with apple butter

Love that Playa Bowls finally opened in the JSQ neighborhood. Service is great and they are getting so much business as the area is growing so fast. Sofar I've order a few of their Açaí bowls and all have been great, I love the Tropical bowl. But this week I tried their fall special bowl w/ apple butter; it was so good not too sweet. And they are running a fall special $2 off.

I went with the daily special, a chicken stew served over rice, which was the definition of comfort food. It was warm, flavorful, and hit the spot perfectly on a cold, snowy afternoon. I also couldn't resist grabbing a chocolate chip cookie, which was equally delicious. Even though the location is a little bit out of the way for me, the quality of the meal makes it worth the trip. I would definitely eat here again anytime I'm in the area and looking for a fresh, wholesome meal.

I ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich ($14) - it was surprisingly big with a generous amount of tasty shredded chicken with currants and seasoning mixed in along with a couple large veggie leaves on a brioche bun: simple yet fresh and tasty. I think was a good value for the price considering the amount of chicken. The only thing that would really elevate this to a full 5 stars would be to add a little something on the side to complement the sandwich. The cafe has a really nice chill vibe with a decent amount of seating. The staff are super friendly, attentive, and helpful - they really make you feel the local hospitality. Overall, I am very tempted to give Whealth Kitchen 5 stars for the tasty and fresh food plus friendly service. If they had just added a bit more to the sandwich / on the side to make it truly exceptional, it would've gotten there. Nevertheless, it is a solid 4.5 stars in my book and a great option for a tasty and healthy yet quick/casual breakfast/lunch.

My issue isn't with the food, but the service or time to make the food. I walked in this morning, trying to get a quick bagel on my way into work! Just a plain non-toasted butter bagel. It took 11 minutes for me to get that. There was one other person's order in front of me, and three people behind the counter... I don't know if they just have one person on one specific task at a time but I strongly feel it should not take 11 minutes to get a plain butter bagel. I honestly started thinking they were just making the bagel from scratch right in front of me. Now the bagel itself was actually really good. Nice and soft, not hard to chew like other places. The butter, however, sucks and is flavorless. The girl behind the counter was really pretty and sweet and handed me my order. And honestly the inside is so beautiful. I know I'll be coming here again and for that and my past positive experiences, I rated it 4 stars. I'm honestly just flabbergasted it took 11 minutes for a plain non-toasted butter bagel with only 1 customer in front of me and 3 people behind the counter

After finding out about this market on Instagram, I decided to swing by during the Journal Square…read morefestival. I can confidently say in terms of selection, this market is a winner. Food Story is your typical Korean market. - if you have been to H-Mart, Mitsuwa, or Ranch99 it's the same style and layout with many authentic Asian groceries sourced from overseas and a food court for fresh Korean and Japanese dishes like ready-to-eat Korean fried chicken, poke bowls, and sushi. To my surprise, they have a wide selection of Japanese foods, more so than HMarts. And they have Korean-style thin-cut frozen meats in a fridge near the rice section - but they don't have a butcher section, so temper your expectations. Although most of the groceries here are relatively expensive, their prices are mostly on par with regular prices at many Asian markets. But, other markets offer far better weekly sales - Food Story doesn't have a circular or website, so it seems they dont offer sales. I did however find some special discounted prices for random items throughout the aisles. One downside that stood up is that many of the price labels were misorganized and placed under the wrong items. So, take care to match the UPC or you may have a bad experience with the cashier at checkout (something that I saw some other reviewers complain about). Overall, Food Story is a solid addition to the neighborhood - a convenient, albeit pricey, option for Aisan good lovers.
