4th Street Market

My first time here and the place itself is pretty big. It wasn't too crowded when we went, but there was delicious eats everywhere you look. It was a nice clean place. This visit was I was able to try faka's island and baked banhs. If you love sweets and desserts like I do, don't miss this place.

Great variety of offerings. Unique and tasty.Do not go higher than hot on the sauce!! The hot is hotter than most hot lovers will endure. The last one, I believe is for pranks is so hot!! The tater tots are magníficos!! I’m a tots guy though.. the Mac and cheese is amazing with the burnt ends on top. Highly recommend this place. Enjoy!!

DTTN - an eatery like no other. I dare not spoil the awesomeness with mere words nor are my few pics truly representative of the caliber of eclectic dining at DTTN. If only I lived closer then I would be all in on this place, making a monthly pilgrimage to a Mecca of culinary delight. Rarely had my money been so willingly spent on such extravagance. I will be back, again and again, despite my frugality for nowhere else has earned my respect. This place is the epitome of down-to-earth fine dining, and they know it but don’t gatekeep. You’ll feel the same when the Chef/Owner visits with an air of nonchalance, his casual demeanor a breathtaking departure from the stiff and starched white coats of “fine French chefs”. The cuisine will have you believe an army of such chefs toils and creates edible art meant for digestion by the eyes as much as the mouth. Consumables for the soul without bizarreness, whether it be food or drink. Speaking of, their bartenders are world class mixologists with a library of drinks both spiked and unmarred by alcohol. Repeat visits afford the opportunity to get the same concoctions as before or test the waters for something unique and new yet suited to your particular taste profile. Vietually a virgin anything always on order. Concepts as concoctions are what they deliver. Don’t even get me started on desserts. Having attended CIA for a pastry chef degree myself and with a lineage of long-ago famous bakers, I can honestly attest to an exquisiteness that is otherwise missing throughout the south land and all of Orange County. I hadn’t intended a screed the lengthy and am stopping short of further extoling the virtues of DTTN. Suffice to say: Do Not Miss This Place! Go Now, Go Often. Make Reservations & Make Memories! 15/5 stars - highly recommend Here’s the extra stars: Mixology: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Desserts: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place was so cute! I love the atmosphere and all the vendors are so nice. They give genuine opinions and take the time to ask you what you like and what you’re craving. The food was delicious too! I can’t wait to go back. Definitely recommend!

Cool little food court. A very trendy place with a variety of fast food restaurants. Plenty of seating and there's a paid parking garage.

Very hidden but maybe that's part of the charm. The food was phenomenal and we couldn't believe the available seating on a Sunday. Only gross part was the bathrooms but it is what it is

Great selection of food, drinks and desserts. The outdoor eating area has different things for adults and kids. The burritos La Palma are fantastic! Can't wait to try more!

This place never disappoints! They actually opened up a new pizza spot which offers a vegan pizza, it was DELICIOUS!! Cheese is made of cashews. While enjoying a good slice of pizza head over to Recess and grab yourself a drink:)

Such an awesome spot in Downtown Santa Ana. A very wide variety of cuisines and well priced. We loved the outdoor area as well. Easy to park also. We have tried the Daily Kombucha and the Bakery. They have both been incredible places to eat.

I love coming to 4th street market! There are a variety of different cuisine and food styles to choose from and all are very delicious. I have tried most choices here and my go to's are always loose leaf, and broth, and fakas. The parking is great here, since there is free parking for the first hour or two in the parking structure next door. The space of the food market is also great as there is seating both inside and in the back. There are also plenty of games and even ping pong in the back area as well. Such a fun and yummy spot!

I visited 4th Street Market last night. I liked seeing ample options of food and drink vendors to choose from. I felt there was ample seating for customers. I got a crepe from Gina's Crepes and Waffles.

Indoor food court with a variety of food options. Indoor bar with an outdoor patio - which was closed for a private event when we were there. Tuk Tuk Thai Street Food: Crispy pork belly pad see ew 10/10- nice crispy, chewy pork belly with flat wide noodles. Perfectly sweet with a side of chili vinegar which we didn't add to the dish cause the flavor was on point!! & Broth: Pho brisket on rye 10/10. Let me just say- broth was amazing!! All I added was siracha & chili paste and it gave it just the right amount of kick. Thick sandwich loaded with soft, melt in your mouth brisket w a side of pickled carrots & daikon. Faka's Island Grill: 9/10 Pork belly plate. Caramelized pork belly over rice, pork belly was sweet and tender. I wasn't a fan of the mac salad- a tad plain IMO. Dog friendly. Plenty of seats. Clean bathroom.

This was our first time at 4th st Market and we tried the following: * Santa Ana Specialty Pho from and.broth * chicken katsu plate with sweet n spicy sauce from fakas island grill * mango sticky rice from the chicken rice Loved everything we ordered. For the Santa Ana pho, it was filled with all kinds of meat, my favorite being that juicy rib bone! I enjoyed the katsu plate from Faka's - so crispy and the sauce was different from the usual katsu sauce! I also liked that Mac salad We only got dessert from The Chicken Rice but will have to return to try their entrees because it looked good!

Baked Banhs is definitely a must try if you're craving something sweet! We weren't planning on getting dessert when we arrived at 4th Street Market, but the pastries displayed all looked so good and we couldn't resist! We opted for the strawberry milky buns and oommmggg... it's so good and hit the spot. The strawberries were fresh and not covered in syrup, the cream was light but still had the full creamy flavor, and the bun with chewy and had a slight bite to it. I was expecting the bun to be light and fluffy, but I actually enjoy that it was soft and chewy. It was so good and perfect to share one bun with someone! I can't wait to go back because I am eyeing the miso chocolate chip cookie......... Tip: located right behind the boba shop in the front

It falls short of expectations as a food hall with typically overpriced and lackluster offerings. On a Thursday at 7pm ish half the shops were closed or closing down. It was quite empty as well so the entire hall seemed quiet and dead. There's a parking structure right nearby and when we parked from like 5-7ish we only had to pay less than a dollar so that was nice. Just like any other food hall, it's fun to hang out with a group as you can let everyone make their own choices of what they want to eat and come back to hang out. But this is low tier in my opinion

Got invited to an industry event where this was the venue and we loved the food. I had some very delectable Takoyaki from Sharinori that's so worth coming back for. My friend had Sweet Chili Garlic Shrimp from Faka's Island Grill and she said it was very tasty, although presentation did not look too appetizing. The place has a variety of options and is perfect as a hangout place for friends or a quick bite with family. Definitely not a place for corporate events, business meet-ups or fancy dates as the ambiance is really simple - a regular food court in the heart of downtown Santa Ana. I went around the area for about 35 minutes looking for parking, but my colleagues later said there was free parking at a structure beside the building. Plan where to park if you intend to visit this place, and other than good food, don't expect too much.

The 4th Street Market is a great little spot to go if you want to have a lot of options for fun bites. There are about ten different food vendors that have their own little popups inside, as well as a permanent coffee bar and actual bar. If you have a group, everyone can grab the specific food that they're in the mood for, which makes it a fantastic spot to go with friends. And best of all, it's right next to The Frida Theater, the very best movie theater in the entirety of Orange County. Bring your friends for some fun food and drinks, then see a movie at The Frida.

Sooo many good eats at 4th Street Market!! From pho sandwiches, to burgers, to curry, and to Hawaiian food!!! There's a lot of more food stalls here that I definitely wanna come try next time.

Cute spot to try several things, food court style. We ended up getting pho, good fatty broth. Service was good, the place despite there being a lot of foot traffic was well maintained

I had been in here previous to pandemic. There started to be less and less restaurant but now it seemed pretty staffed up. However we got there about 1145am in a Tuesday and only like 3 of the restaurants were open. Maybe we were not aware of their hours. I got Chicken Rice because I had eaten before it was in 4th Street Market. I ordered the red curry with chicken and a Thai tea small. Honestly, Delicious and super hot. We went for a meeting but definitely gets a bit loud FYI. Overall, really convenient and good service.

And Broth is the newest on the "must try" list inside 4SM. Service is excellent, the bone broth is superb and meat is of high quality.

Trying to be fair here, the restaurants are amazing, the maintenance staff not so great, I live a couple blocks away and walked to get some delicious food, went to wash my hands and the bathrooms were in terrible condition, there was no soap so I told the bar people, they said "not our problem tell the guy in blue" washed my hands in the employee sink next to the ice machine, found the "guy in blue" told him "hey how are you, there is no soap in the men's restroom" he turned around and said "AND" and I responded "ok" and left, this was today at 4 PM on Thursday. He seemed annoyed that I told him, "Hey when people go use the toilet there is no soap"

Great food hall with lots of seating spread out everywhere along with outdoor seating backyard patio. The restaurants were all super quick and unique and the flavors and portion size was great! Definitely a fun spot with about 15 restaurants all under one roof! However the parking is a few blocks away for the lot and only paid parking per hour.

Nice easy drinking to pass the time while we wait for our food at the food court. Most of these drinks were heavy on the lime, so it's a plus for those citrus lovers. The people there were very chill for a Sunday morning, and it was nice to be able to take our drinks out to the patio or back into the food court.

I went here and had the Pho deli sandwich! Wow - that was so good! It was an hour drive for me one way but still worth it. I wish I got one to go as well. Open a place in the San Fernando Valley! I'll even buy into the business - because it will be a hit. Delicious!!!

Looking to try out a few different restaurant, and not have to go too far? This is the spot for you. I have been coming here for a few years now, but it has been a while since I have been back. Many of the original restaurants that were here when it first opened are now long gone, but there is always something exciting happening with up and coming grub spots popping up. If I remember correctly, 4th Street Market was originally created as a stepping stone for restaurants. It offers the opportunity to see if they have a concept that will work out and from there they will be able to open a brick and mortar spot elsewhere.

Feeling pressured to choose just one thing when your boyfriend asks what you want to eat? Feeling indecisive? Then come to this indoor food hall! Lots of options so you don't have to choose just one thing. There's Thai, Sushi, Mexican, boba, Hawaiian, etc! Don't want to share your food?! You don't have to here! My personal favs were Tuk Tuk Thai, Faka, and La Palma!

I really enjoyed visiting 4th Street market. Parking was easy on a Sunday, we parked in the structure for free. It said first hour free but we were there longer and we didn't have to pay. Bonus! Not many food vendors were open and the outside patio area with the games was closed off for a private event. Ordered the bourbon BBQ burger and fries from The Golden Hot Fried Chicken. Delicious! For dessert I stopped by Chunk n Chip and got an Icecream sandwich (snickerdoodle cookies with chocolate ice cream in-between). Delicious as well! They were very generous with the Icecream servings. Both food spots were reasonably priced and the staff were so friendly! It's a cute place for date night or just chilling with friends in downtown Santa Ana.

Finally a food hall worth going to: 5 Stars for food and pricing -1 star for this busy area but parking itself is easy and free. Winners listed in order of favorites: -Deli Station 5 stars: Yes it's just sandwiches but the carnitas torta was OUTSTANDING and unique! -Faka's Island Grill 5 Stars -Tuk Tuk Thai Street food 5 Stars -Chicken Rice 4 Stars -ShariNori 4 Stars This was our second and Best visit. Or first visit didn't yield this great of a result, in fact, there's a couple more additions that made this place the ultimate food tour destination. Where can you go where you can eat 5 different restaurant in one place? Our favorite and most unique and bang for your bug item was from Deli Station. This will probably the first and only time I will rate a sandwhich shop the highest amongst other establishments. The other restaurants were just as good. 4sm is now my new go to food hall. Parking is always easily located in a parking structure next door. Getting to the structure is a pain in the ass though if you have to drive through downtown. M-F is free parking. Sat-Sun is free for 2 hours. Even though this area has been thoroughly reformed and gentrified, I wouldn't be caught dead in this area after sundown. There are a lot of "unhoused" scary people around. I also recommend avoiding this place during peak hours as it does get crowded and long lines form. There's also some shops around the area you can walk and peruse after your face is thoroughly stuffed. There's a lot of construction going on right now so it's probably a lot more loud and busier than usual but you'd hardly notice it with an array of amazing food at your beck and call.

Really enjoyed the vibe. Great options for food. I got the BBH sandwich from And Broth both times I was here.

4th Street Market is one of many food halls in Orange County and personally it pales in comparison to Rodeo 39 or Anaheim Packing District. Why? (1) 4th Street is currently going through streetcar construction and the project is slated to be completed by 2023. I got here at 11 AM on Saturday and only few stands were opened with barely any crowd. (2) 4th Street Market felt like a downsized version of Rodeo 39 and just doesn't feel "hip". (3) Food options aren't as diverse as Rodeo 39 / Anaheim Packing District. Burrito (Burritos la Palma), poke bowl (Mar Seafood), Thai food (Tuk Tuk Thai Street Food), fried chicken (The Golden Hot Fried Chicken), burger (Smörburgers), plant-based Mexican food (La Vegana Mexicana), ice cream (Chunk N Chip), a bar (Recess), and boba (Loose Leaf Boba Co). [Parking]: Due to the ongoing construction, free parking in the parking structure for the 1st hour. There are better food hall options in Orange County, but it's not a terrible alternative option for anyone who lives in the area, wants to avoid the crowd from other food halls, easy parking, and still get A-OK food selection.

Great variety of food! The backyard has additional seating plus games (ping pong tables and cornhole). Loved that we can support small businesses and the whole family can choose their favorite (freshly made) meals.

A must try food hall when in Southern California. Loaded with excellent food, cocktails, and desserts. Visited here for the first time when I was back in SoCal for a short period. Went for the Thai food at Tuk Tuk and ceviche at Mar Poke. Also had a couple cocktails from the bar at Recess. Not to mention, when the weather is nice out, there is ample seating outside with corn hole to play! And when the weather is a bit on the colder side, there are heat lamps available. Overall, enjoyed the location, food selection, scene, cocktails and all. I would recommend trying the shrimp pad Thai, chicken pineapple fried rice at Tuk Tuk and the ahi ceviche at Mar. All were great! Cocktails were also very good from the Recess. Will be back next time!

Love the fact that this place has so many choices to choose from. When going with a group, you're able to try multiple things and people are able to choose what they're craving. The only downside of this place is that when it gets crowded, it gets really packed. * one of my fave places came in! SHARINORI!!! Can't wait to go back soon!

What happened to 4th Street Market? It's so sad. The place looks run down. It used to be a lot better when it first opened but the building has not been maintained for the past few years. There's sticky pee at the front and graffiti on the windows. There's also a lot of construction here when we visited last month so it's difficult to drive around. The food offerings look okay. There's a small number of options, but we honestly don't see ourselves coming back anytime soon. The area is pretty sketch too.

Pretty cool little food court. Lots of developing restaurants around. In fact the whole downtown area is developing. My friend and I had a breakfast burrito and it was delicious. The salsa was perfect. The seating area was plentiful and it was cool that they had outdoor seating. Lots of urban design all around. Honestly, I was more excited to see all the development happening in the city. So much potential to bring in a young crowd.

I've always been a fan of 4th street market ever since they opened. I've seen resturants show up, leave, new ones show up, leave again. it's an ongoing thing. I didnt end up going at all during the pandemic, or during the street car construction but we went recently. We were happy to see the ice cream place still there! Samples galoore. The main coffee spot (portola) is gone, which seemed like a nice staple to have. It's been replaced with some boba spot. My only thing is updating of the seating area, seems as if the condition of the place has gone down, but still a place to go to to enjoy yourself and get some good food. Definitely a place to come support the smaller restaurant/businesses as they are in dire need of our support!

This is basically an indoor food court with nothing that outstanding as far as healthy stuff. The only thing I bought was an overpriced kombucha. The coffee place looked interesting but it was 5 pm and I was more in the mood for a cocktail!

There's meter parking in front and a good variety of eateries inside. We came here for Faka's Grill and I saw that Mar was next door and wanted to try it out. If we didn't get drinks earlier, I would have definitely gotten something from the boba stand they have there. It's an eclectic place. There are some pics of old historic Santa Ana, some hipster-ish designs, and even a meat vending machine. So although there are no tables inside, there are some bleachers like seating and a semi-outdoors area with seating, a grassy plot, some yard games. Here's the thing, people were eating on those bleachers inside with their masks down eating and the semi-outside eating area was PACKED. No way that was more than 6 feet between patrons. Just seems kinda risky to me. This was my main qualm. Not sure if it would do this location some service to have maybe a counter system or some one monitoring capacity.

So many options this place is amazing I didn't find it a little offputting that it was like 12:30 and nothing was open but OK. I will definitely return lots of vegan options!

Great place to hang. Lots of seating area and outdoor communal table too which is very cool. Decor is very nice and artsy. They used to have live music but no more now. They have cool-targeting-younger-audience vendors that charge premium for the food but they are all pretty good. No basic food allowed! Best thing about this place is the lobster fries from Dos Chinos but they have closed down.

The atmosphere was exciting. Egg rolls were a great deal and they tasted really good.

I've been here quite a few times over the years since they first built this place and it's changed a lot. Overall, I like to take friends here because there are a variety of food and drinks to choose from, and we don't all have to get something similar! 4th Street is a bit smaller than other indoor food halls/markets in the area, but it is the right size for its location. There are currently lots of construction going on so parking might be tricky. They used to have Portola here but it's replaced by Loose Leaf Boba, which is equally great! In their backyard courtyard, there are picnic tables and where they host open mics on weekends. I would recommend you check this place out if you want a quick lunch/dinner, or have a group of friends who can't decide what they want for food!

Another adventure, another food hall type of feel. Swung by with a friend to see what event was going down in DTSA. There was definitely a vibe, a DJ blasting music, street vendors and 4th Street Market food hall across the street. I wasn't too hungry, I stopped by Mar for a fish taco. Blackened fish taco (yellowtail), fresh veggies and lime-sauce. Nicely toasted 6 inch tortilla, overfilled with all the fish. They have a green salsa that comes with it, it's creamy and has a good spicy kick. There is a range in options inside but limited. It's a good quick stop for lunch-dinner.

Came here for an event where you got to taste a little bit of everything. It was fun experiencing all the different variety of foods and drinks they served here. There are different booths serving variety of foods and drinks. There was plenty of seating here and in the back where the indoor patio seating was located. Some of the booths were short staffed so the service was a bit longer for few places but it wasn't extremely long for the food to come out. Really fun environment to try different foods all in one location. Will definitely need to come back to try the other stuff off their menus from the booths!

A very cool indoor market in the middle of eclectic downtown Santa Ana. Interesting food options and a full bar. The bar seems to be popular with the locals as it was standing room only on a weekday afternoon. They had $9 micheladas as special and it tasted delish. There is also a boba/tea bar at the entrance.

We stopped here right after eating at the Anaheim Packing District food hall. Two food halls in one night! Like other food halls, I hope 4th Street Market stays successful especially since it brings much needed business and food traffic to this area of Santa Ana. We tried a variety of tasty foods and had a great time. The night we visited there was a huge group in the back corner. It turned out to be a high school reunion. Cute place to gather. It's cool they have a kitchen incubator program. I hope they keep it affordable. Nice to know that they are helping people start a business. My tip to the owners of the Market: please make the lighting at night somehow brighter and more pleasing.

Has something for everyone! This is a fun spot to come as a date or as a family or just on your lunch break. They have great options from boba tea, burgers, to bulgogi bowls and everything in-between! Super convenient layout to be able to take a stroll and see what your tastebuds want!

As a local who grew up in this area it makes me sad to see this as a wasted space. If you come at "opening" only a few places open. If you come a little later around 5 most places with the exception of 2 places are closed. I've come during multiple different times of day , various days of the week and it's the same thing. There is no consistency. They wanted to make this a cool hangout but it seems like that only happens if you rent the private outside space. Be prepared to come to an empty place and closed food stalls.

I'd say the location of 4th street market may not be in a good part of orange county, but during the day this area feels OK. I'd suggest parking in the parking garage right behind the market, entrance from the one way street right behind it. The first 2 hours I believe was free also. When I had this place bookmarked pre-covid, there were a lot of stalls here. When I came here in April 2021, a few stalls seemed to have vacated! :( Nonetheless, the space is pretty cute, with quite a cramped outdoor patio in the back for those wanting to get a dose of sun rays. I tried the kombucha which was quite nice, and also the Faka's Island Grill was VERY good!

Went here with my friends, and there's so much variety. Great atmosphere, and enough options for everyone. Highly recommend the sushi, just look up parking in advance.

I gave it three stars because the prices there are way too expensive. The food is not that good and the atmosphere is so so I mean the chairs are very uncomfortable. And I knew that face before it became fourth Street market and used to be a swap meet an indoor swap meet And honestly I think it was better as an indoor swap meet then the way it is now. Service there sucks. The only good thing is that the bathrooms are clean the staff there that cleans it does a good job other than that, it's not that good.

OC now has a couple of food halls (Packing District, Trade) and 4th Street market. I heard that one of my favorite sandwich shops was coming here. Right of the bat two of my favorite places Supernatural Sandwiches and Portola coffee are already here. In addition there are some other great vendors. One of the great things about this food hall is there are great food vendors and a great mix of options. This place isn't as cool looking as packing district, this place is a great alternative to the packing district. I ended up trying Miel (Augua Fresca Place) All flavor no grease, Supernatural Sandwiches & Chunk & Chip and all the places were great. I would say this is one of my top food halls in SoCal and definitely worth checking out.

Haven't been in awhile. Seems the restaurants have changed since my last visit. Understandable with the 8(?) - 10(?) different places here. Really miss the Pho place tho'. Hopefully they found a place with consistent traffic. So....we shared foods from Mar (like Mare-ocean) & What's Kracken. At Mar we ordered: the Ahi Cali bowl & the Ahi tuna poke appetizer. Ahi chunks, scoop of avocado, a little crab, & Sriracha Mayo sauce. Fresh tuna, yummy combo, small was perfect to share size. The Ahi Poke had diced mango, cilantro, red onion, green onion & lime juice served with nice thin tortilla chips. This was good too. Being Asian and a poke maker at home, worried a bit about freshness, but it was great! What's Kracken offered a poutine style dish topped with baby scallops, Patagonia shrimp & crispy garlic shrimp, avocado, little ponzu(soy & lemon) atop big steak fries. Nice creamy sauce. This ones a winner-Triton Fries. Smart play on words all the way around. Thanks goodness OCHSA was out for the summer. Which means we could find a seat. Hey! How can HS students afford a $10-$15 lunch?? Anyway, street meter parking or pay lot a block away.

I never went to this market before the food was good but not great.The employees were really nice and helpful.I ordered Thai food and some sushi and finally tatter tots.Overall the market had a cool vibe and if you're in the area you should stop bye.

Just got home from spending part of my SundayFunday at 4th Street Market (4SM) and couldn't wait to write this review. I first learned about this gem a few years back (October 2018) when I attended YelpOC's Dia De Los Muertos Halloween Elite Event. I've been a few times since then but this was my first time back since COVID. Sadly, many of the places are closed (hopefully not permanently). 4SM is basically a food hall with vendors like Burritos La Palma, Banh Xeo Boys, SmorBurgers, Faka's Island Grill, Chunk-N-Chip and more. Be sure to check out my Yelp reviews for SmorBurgers and Chunk-N-Chip. What I love about 4SM is it's location. It's located in the heart of downtown Santa Ana. Spend a few hours to experience some of the delicious eclectic flavors the maker has to offer, along with the arts and culture of the Santa Ana community. Lots of instagrammable photo ops. Parking is basically metered street parking or parking lots/garages. Due to COVID, masks are required inside. There tables located in the back patio, as well as out front if you choose to order food and eat there. For those not yet feeling comfortable to visit 4SM in person or dining outdoors, many of the vendors are offering curbside and/or take out services. COVID pandemic is having a disastrous effect on small businesses all over the country. It's more important than ever to support your local businesses as they are in danger of closing their doors temporarily. I'm sure they are more than grateful for the support. Overall, I always have a great time at 4SM. Let's continue to show our support as we are all in this together.

Moved here four years ago and can honestly say the lineup at 4th Street Market is probably the best it's been in a while. Fakas, Burritos Las Palmas, Smor Burger, the Deli Station and Loose Leaf Boba are all amazing and unique in their own way and the staples like MAR, Alta Baja and Chunk-N-Chip are still holding it down. I've yet to try Ban Xeo Boys but they're definitely making headlines in the social media world so I know they're top notch too! Even though parking can be a bitch and you can't really hang out inside it's still worth visiting for the food and the outdoor seating both on 4th street and in the back which is plentiful.
