I liked peeling the layers (though some didn't peel perfectly). It is mildly sweet and reminds of Filipino Biko - Stingray Fried Rice, (3.75/5): this was my first time having stingray and it's actually sooo tasty. the meat reminds of a sweet crab and flaky fish. though I was a fan of the stingray, the fried rice was just ok. Considering this came from a stall specializing in fried rice I subtracted some points - Ayam Gulai, (4.25/5): I didn't know quite what I was ordering, but I'm so glad I did! This stall makes their own chili sambal and it's sooo shrimpy, punchy and complex. It added a lot to the dish, with the curry chicken + slight hint of coconut flavors and the meaty paste on top of the rice. everything works pretty well together here - just the egg was a bit overcooked and the chicken was also just slight overdone. I would go to this stall again! Nice find- I like it a lot!

Loved this spot! I ended up coming here twice during my trip to NYC. The location is super…read moreconvenient in Midtown, just steps from Rockefeller Center, and I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to get a table for three both times without much wait. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for Midtown Manhattan. Over the two visits, I tried both versions of the Hainanese chicken rice, and both were delicious. The food came out incredibly fast, and I especially appreciated that the meals included Chinese broccoli. I also tried the stir-fried noodles from Hainan Jones and the beef rendang from Padi D'NYC -- both were excellent. Overall, everything we ordered was flavorful, satisfying, and served quickly. Definitely a great spot for a casual and tasty meal in Midtown!

This is an especially great place if your party cannot otherwise decide in a single type of cuisine. Everyone can fan out and find something that pleases them. We got there right before 11am, which is opening hour for many of the vendors. Everything seems ostensibly "carryout", even if the place where many carry what they buy are the shared tables in central spaces. We spent around $20 each for lunch, which is cheap when you compare it to many NYC options a cut above fast food. For quality and value, it'd be much easier to do worse than here than to do better.

The description of "diverse global cuisines" is extremely accurate. I was there on a Sunday; it was crowded but the lines weren't too long and we were able to find seating. They have tables for small or larger parties. One scary moment was when the police were looking for someone. I was startled when I walked out of the ladies room and they almost ran into me because they were on the hunt for someone. I hope they caught the person and I hope everyone is safe. There's a pretty heavy police presence in the area (or maybe it was the day I was there).

I don't spend a lot of time in Brooklyn, so I actually had no idea that the Dekalb Market Hall was a thing until I started zooming in/out on Google Maps. This sounded like the best idea for our group of 4 - we could all get whatever we wanted to eat without having to compromise on one cuisine! Jokes on us, 3/4 of us ended up getting food at Hainan Jones. I had a grilled chicken bowl from Wiki Wiki and we also had boba from Tea Makers. Everything at Hainan Jones was great. The bowl at Wiki Wiki was really good. The boba was just fine. You really can't go wrong with Dekalb Market Hall, there are literally so many options. When we were leaving, we realized there was an entire whole section that we had not even realized was there! A plus is that there are bathrooms inside so you can use it before you leave.

It came with some simple ban chan which didn't wow me but did the job. The galbi was tasty, I def had better elsewhere but it was still delicious and satisfied my craving. And the soup was very comforting, slightly spicy. I got the soybean paste soup.

This is a small food hall that is easy to miss if you blink when you walk by. The place is narrow…read morebut fairly deep. Most of the shops are on the ground level, along with some seating. There's more seating on the 2nd floor, plus a press on nail place. Walk up one more set of stairs to the 3rd floor for more seating, plus restrooms and one more restaurant counter (a chicken place). I do not know how the place on the 3rd floor stays in business. I didn't notice signs on the ground level letting everyone know it's up there. It's definitely better to have a spot on the ground level where there's more foot traffic. Seems like a lot of people know about this food hall. It is fairly crowded. Many of the restaurants looked interesting, so we made 2 rounds to look at all the offerings before deciding what to get. We picked up Shrimp Udon from the Seoul New York (located way at the back; they offer a discount for paying by cash), and also a Potato Korean Hot Dog from Sweet Churros (located at the front as the first restaurant on the right side after walking through the front door). Both were good. I love food halls because everyone in your group can find something different to eat. And it's a plus when there's seating and restrooms available. This one is a hidden gem in Koreatown. Great dining spot for a casual or quick meal. The prices are reasonable compared to some of the "sit down" restaurants in the neighborhood.

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.

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.

However, I'm here for the great food options and can overlook quite a bit.

Time Out Market Union Square features seven kitchens, a bar and a stage - there are communal tables and approximately 300 seats, with around 70 of them on the terrace for outdoor dining. Download the Time Out Market Union Square app! I earned some great discounts, including one for my birthday! You can order from multiple restaurants from there and even give your table number for delivery. Conveniently located near Union Square trains. I really like the variation of vendors (though at least one has changed since my previous visit.) Plenty of delicious food options that could cater to a variety of dietary restrictions/preferences, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. It it a large bright space with plenty of seating, including at the bar. My most recent visit was the first time seeing/using the large outdoor area. My bartender Xavier and our server Mario are wonderful! Most recent visit was with a large group and we were able to get two tables in the back terrace on a lovely evening before happy hour was over. This visit we shared some pizzas from Fornino and I also ordered separately from Kebabwala. I also had a couple happy hour spritzes. There are lunch specials that I'll keep in mind if I'm ever in the area during those times.
