Peter L.

Interesting concept of a Singapore-inspired food hall in Midtown. Singapore is a truly a melting pot with strong representation from China, Malaysia, and India and the food reflects the diversity. Had a chance to try chicken rice, satay, and biryani. The chicken rice was one of the more decent versions I have had in the states, while the satay was probably the best dish. The biryani, however, fell flat. Prices seemed decent, and while the satay was pricey, it was very good. Urban Hawker is worth at least one visit.

Fried rice
Melody N.

We went here for dinner after walking around the Rockefeller area. It was a Saturday where the weather was a little variable and a street fair going on so there wasn't too crowded. There are different stalls with one stall was all different types of fried rice. I don't know what it is about the fried rice but it was soo good! It was super flavorful and the chinese sausage was neither too salty or greasy. The Hainan chicken was also good with the chicken rice tasting well. There were so many things to pick from! I would go back again to try. It was a little pricey but I assuming it was due to the part of the city we were in. Food came out super quick.

While walking from the Midtown Hilton to our show we walked by and walked in with no expectations. We were blown away. The had an amazing hainan chicken place and a kofi shop right next door. Food was so good and authentic! Highly recommend

If you're hankering for Asian cuisine but can't quite decide what exactly you want to have for dinner, then Urban Hawker is the place for you. It's a dining hall with fare from a variety of Asian cultures, from Filipino to Hainanese, Japanese to Malaysian. I visited with a group on a Friday evening. Since it was later at night there was plenty of seating (if you go during peak hours it can be hard to find a table). I ordered fried rice with fried pork chops from a vendor called "Mr Fried Rice". It was very good! My husband ordered Hainanese fish and chips from a different vendor, and it was honestly the best fish and chips I've ever had - and that's coming from someone who doesn't like fish! He also ordered a Singapore Sling from a bar called "The Sling Bar", and he also said it was good. I would definitely return to Urban Hawker if I were to be around this area. On my return, though, I would come back for the fish and chips!

I go here everytime I start reminiscing about my time in Singapore. Plenty of stalls that offer many different types of dishes, perfect for whatever mood you might be in. On my most recent trip, I stopped in & tried the Singapore Hokkien Mee from Prawnaholic stall. Great portion and what a fantastic balance of all the different flavors. & they had a lychee drink - yum! Look forward to coming back soon. Love that we have to is in the neighborhood.

Chicken tiki masala
Mini C.

Super overpriced and overhyped imo. I got the chicken tiki masala from the Indian stand and it was soo bad like truly the worst Indian food I've had. First the color of the chicken and rice was so red it seemed artificial? And the chicken itself was so incredibly salty which made it hard to eat. 100% do not recommend. I also got the honey lemon sour plum from kopifellas and it was super mid and overpriced. Definitely wouldn't recommend or get again. I know this place is known specifically for Singaporean food but the prices in general are so high I just don't think it's even worth it.

Nasi Lemak and Curry Chicken Cutlet
Yoshi L.

We came by for lunch, it's a food court. Great place to eat with a lot of choices. I got the Nasi Lemak from Malaysian food for 20$ + tax, good but could be better, sadly it's not as warm as I would like it to be. Then my bf got Curry Chicken Cutlet rice I believe it's 19$+ Tax. Chicken was okay, a little dry but one food I won't recommend getting is the Curry Fries, so we assume (ik we shouldn't assume) that the curry is the thick type of curry, but it's so light almost has little to no tasted to it, got the fries for 6$ + tax, if your kids want fries, just get the regular. U need code for the restrooms and it's on the receipt.

This Singapore-inspired Asian food market is located in the midtown entertainment center, and they have variety choices as a food court. I like this one stop idea for all kinds of Asian food.

Came here for a quick bite. I was a bit disappointed to find several stalls were closed. The ambiance was just so so though it appeared to be clean. We enjoyed the Prawnaholics place. Just wished there were more options.

Sardine puff from Lady Wong & Iced coffee from Kopifellas
Esther T.

A Singaporean food hall in the heart of Midtown Manhattan is def a standout in the midst of the generic options in the area. The caveat however, is the price point. Understandable because of the area, but as someone who is from that part of the world, a but hard to swallow paying close to $20 USD for most of the entrees in this food hall. I've been here a number if times but mostly only frequent Lady Wong & Kopifellas. Haven't tried too many of the food vendors there until my most recent trip last month when my visiting cousin wanted to go. The vendors I tried and my reviews: Lady Wong - 5/5 must visit. I get the kuih which is like bites of nostalgia from my childhood. My favorite is the cassava, but all the other kuihs are good too. The angku was the only one that wasn't on par for me. Idk if they still make their sardine puffs, but it's delish! Kopifellas - 5/5 I always get either iced coffee or yuan yang. Just amazing. Pricey, yes. But not any pricier than Starbucks. Tried the kaya toast recently and wasn't a fan. Tasted nothing like the kaya toast I'm accustomed to. Prawnaholics - 4/5 Pretty good char kuow teoh. The pork lard bits are def a plus. Might be just a bit mush. Mr Fried Rice - 2.5/5 This was wildly disappointing. For a place that specializes in fried rice, I'm expecting your fried rice to be excellent. We got the stingray option. The fish was pretty good but the fried rice was abysmal. Completely bland and dry. Padi - 4/5 we got the lamb & chicken combo satay. Never had lamb satay before and it was absolutely phenomenal. Usually the chicken satay is always better but the lamb was def better. Absolutely loved it. Jakarta Munch - 4/5 I got a chicken noodle dish here and it was really good. Def give them a try! It's definitely a place worth visiting if you want something outside the box in this area.

Lontong
Judy C.

Lots of different vendors, so each person can choose what they want - Singaporean, Indonesian, Malaysian, Filipino, etc. I got lontong from Malaysian place, something I haven't had before, was very good.

Hainan chicken
Tommy T.

In a city with all types of food, this food hall is made up of several Asian themed food spots for what ever you feel like. I have eaten at a few spots and everything was tasty. I would say the Hainan chicken was my favorite but the ramen was also delicious. With many other options, I will definitely be back and would recommend this spot if you are craving some Asian food.

What vegan options are available here?

Urban Hawker must be made up of 8 to 12 food vendors , so the place has no one menu to cover everyone of them, none of the vendor are pure vegan from my visit there, but that's doesn't mean that one or two may not have a vegan dish, I would say… Read more

Do they serve alcohol? beer, wine and/or liquor

Some Does and there is a full bar at the place .

Are all the vendors open for business at 8am or just a select few?

I think as of October only a few vendors are open at 10 AM and most by 11 AM but that can change

Are they open on the weekends? Went last weekend they were closed!!!!!

Yes! Open on weekends.

Huge sandwiches stuffed with meat and cheese (also veg options). I ordered the Time Out (warm roast beef, mozz, sauteed onion and gravy $16)... it was packed with flavor! The second time I ordered it, I got the dark delicious gravy on the side. I ate half at Time Out which has tons of seating and had a lot left over. Thank you Anthony, Milton and the rest of the team for this fantastic sandwich experience. Fabulous customer service. Run to Time Out Market USQ for their incredible Italian sandwiches. Taqueria El Chato, with their fab tacos, is the only other place I've tried in the market so far. Definitely would consider Kam Rai Thai, Kababwala, Fornino...

I went to smashed express and got the single smash box meal pretty good deal for 18 burger cup of fried and a drink. I chose the classic glass bottle coke. They have patio dining available. A full bar in here and other eateries . Worth checking out. Nice tunes playing in the background.

I had lunch at Nom Wah (fan fried noodles with crispy chicken) and grabbed dessert at Zaab Zaab (mango sticky rice) for my walk home. There is an awesome food vendor here for every craving and taste. I can already tell I'll be inventing more reasons to hang out on the west side (when it's not overrun by cruise ships). The food hall is an impressive collection of local businesses, all of it really top notch. Great service and food quality. The space is massive with lots of seating and places to sit, linger and enjoy the scenery. The upstairs roof deck adds even more space. WiFi is good, several citibike docks nearby and the sound levels are surprisingly bearable. Highly recommend!

Fun times on the Hudson River. Cheers!

Best food court in NYC !!!…read more I have probably ate at 1,000 different stalls inside the New World Mall food court over the years, so let me be its 1,000th review. Seems fitting. Considering I just did another mini food tour with my friends today, this place has been my go to for a quick bite in Flushing since its inception. Not a whole lot of the stalls have lasted over the years, but a handful remain, while the new entrants keeps the food court interesting. Below is the current list of vendors as of May 2025. I also added my favorite item from some of my usual spots. #2 Chongqing Zaier (Yunnan) #3 Ke Lai Qin (Hunan) - chili fish head #4 Joe's Steam Rice Roll (Cantonese) - shrimp roll #5 Tarim Uyghur Cuisine (Uyghur) - lamb skewer #6 A Zhong (Taiwanese) - thread noodle soup #7 Kung Fu Tea (Boba Shop) #8 Grilled Squid (Korean, Chinese) #9 Xiao Luo Luo (Guanxie) #10 Xiang Ba Ye (Hunan) #11 Piaoxiang Yuan (Dongbei) - potato noodles #12 Tiger Sugar (Boba Shop) - black sugar milk tea #13 Gong Cha (Boba Shop) #14 Lanzhou Handmade Noodle (Lanzhou) #16 Laoma Ma La Tang (Szechuan) - mixed dry pot #18 Eight Beautitudes (Korean) #19 Chong Qung Xiao Mian (Szechuan) - spicy noodle #20 Yozi Duck Vermicelli Soup (Shanghai) - duck soup #21 Nai Brother (Szechuan) - sauerkraut fish #22 Mr. Pang (Taiwanese) #23 Ramen & Udon (Japanese) #24 Tian Fu (Szechuan) #25 Chick Rocks (Chicken Shop) #26 Mojoilla Fresh (Taiwan) - egg waffle #27 Royal Queen (Cantonese) - roast meats #28 Xi'an Cuisines (Xian) - lamb burger #29 Liu Liu Sheng Jian (Shanghai) - soup dumplings #30 C/K Dumplings & Noodles (Dongbei) - dumplings #31a O'Sun Teriyaki (Japanese) #31b Wang's Beef Offal House (Cantonese) - beef I do wish this place was cleaner, smells better and have free wifi service. However, I'm here for the great food options and can overlook quite a bit.

Made my stomach feel not so clean after but it was good! The soup dumplings were okay, I don't think it's the best or worst I've had. The food court has no reception and can get very packed, especially since this place gets talked about a lot. The food court also has cool vending machines with blind boxes that are sometimes hard to find which is nice. If you live here it's pretty convenient place to stop by.

For a food court this is one of…read morethe best experiences in the city, not because the restaurant choices here are necessarily better than other places (there are good choices for sure), but because the atmosphere is different than most. This used to be another unused office building atrium until several years ago they reconstructed it to be a semi Scandinavian minimalist design-inspired indoor park space replete with faux trees, glass baubles hanging from a ceiling decorated with narrow wooden panels. Seating in the form of smaller tables for 4-6, communal tables for 8-10, and bar tables areas are spread over a central tiled ground floor. Along the south side of the space, two sets of stairs (and an elevator) going up to street level are sandwiched between wooden risers that can be used for seating as well. Chairs and small coffee tables are available on the second floor overlooking the below too. Getting to the food: - Teranga: West African bowls that are flavorful and delicious, their juice options are great too. Jollof rice, Yassa and Shay chicken, kewelele (sweet plantains), and my favorite Bouye drink. - Miznon: Israeli/Mediterranean food, yummy schnitzel, roasted cauliflower, stuffed pita sandwiches. - Petit Maman: coffee shop with baked pastries and fresh sandwiches. - KazuNori Handroll Bar: sushi handrolls a bit pricier though tasty, fresh seafood. - Pesce Lulu Seafood Kitchen: I haven't eaten at this one personally though their mahi mahi fish tacos, grilled salmon bowl and fisherman's soup are well known here.
