Best Chinese Hot Pot and Korean Barbecue in Charlotte | Eater Carolinas

"This all-Asian food hall attached to Super GMart grocery in Pineville offers a wide range of cuisines from the Philippines, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, and Japan. Though not a quintessential hot pot or barbecue experience, hot noodle soups and Asian barbecue meals are available from several counters: Great Wall has spicy hot pot with seafood, beef, lamb, and veggie options; Honeybun II offers Taiwan beef noodle and wonton noodle soups; Yume Ramen’s second location offers ramen and sushi; Saigon Cafe offers Vietnamese pho with different beef cut options; Mukja offers Korean udon and ramen. After, try a Honeycow dessert or get down with a game of Dance Dance Revolution at Akihabari arcade." - Shindy Chen

Alley 51 is an absolute gem in Pineville. The vibes are fun, the crowd is lively, and the food lineup is stacked with legit options for everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for something quick, something spicy, or something totally new, every vendor brings their A-game. Portions are solid, flavors are on point, and everything comes out fresh.

Alley 51 Food Hall is such a fun spot - especially if you love Asian food. There are so many different options - Thai, Chinese, Korean - and more. I only tried one place this time and got the beef and broccoli - something simple, but it was absolutely delicious. I definitely need to go back and explore more because there’s just too much to eat in one visit. It’s a bit loud inside - lots of energy and people - but there’s tons of seating for groups of all sizes. You’ll also find little corner shops to browse and even a few games to play, which adds to the vibe. Overall, it’s a cool spot to hang out, eat well, and try something new. I’ll be back for round two soon!

This is a huge Asian food court featuring different vendors offering a variety of Asian cuisine. It's clean and orderly. The one place I found BBQ pork and chicken over rice, almost Hong Kong style. The ginger scallion sauce was excellent. Mushroom Swiss burger was good too.

Loved my visit to Alley 51 Food Hall! I tried food from Yume & Sizzling. I had a spring roll that was super fresh, crisp, and full of flavor definitely one of the best I’ve had. Sizzling served hot, flavorful food with great presentation. The whole place has a clean, modern vibe with lots of seating and diverse food options. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

I really like the idea of food hall with different Asian food restaurants in one big place. We had the pho, banh mi trio (which was okay imo) ; beef wagyu in a sticks, sushi, and crispy chicken wings (needs more seasoning ), honey bbq chicken rice plate, mango and strawberry smoothie, and rice plates from Great Wall were good. They have boba drinks and others juices as well. This place also has small play area for little toddler aged and arcade for big kids. Next to the Alley 51 is a grocery store G Mart with international food options. We like the ambience of this place and I don't mind visiting this place again when we visit the town.

Food was very good, liked the amount of choices they have. They had many tables available and food came out fast. The Bahn Mi was delicious can't wait to have another. Didn't like the 3% charge for using credit cards specially when its not shown until you pay. The 3 places I bought from charged me the credit card fee so I guess every business charges it.

It's as advertised. Alot of options, hectic environment but family friendly in that everyone will have something for them. Went with Great Wall this time and got the Duck and Wings. Both amazing, pics don't do it justice flavor wise.

Loved it. Went to Quicitop for the jiaozi and was instantly happy at first bite. And I only spent $8. My husband and my daughter went to Yume. They got the chicken katsu curry and the steak bowl with egg and vegetable. They were more expensive with $30 plates. BUT they were still all around happy with their expensive plates. My daughter had one small gripe, she wished they gave her more corn. I also went to Honeycow and got a peach mango fruit tea with jasmine tea and mango popping boba. I spent $6 and some change. It wasn’t to sweet and had lots of boba. Loved this food court.

We visited yesterday evening with our kids and another family. We had a large group and really appreciated all the options! Everything was very good. We arrived relatively late as we were visiting from out of town and arrived later than expected. Unfortunately, multiple restaurants begin shutting down before 9, so be mindful to go early if you can! If we're ever back in the area we will go again! Our friends shopped at the market next door and bought several china bowls at add to their collection. They have a great selection!

This food hall is AWESOME. I can't believe it took us this long to check it out! We went on a Friday evening, and it was giving night market vibes with the lanterns and lively environment. Very family-friendly with lots of seating and even a kids area and arcade. In terms of food options, they've got most of Asia covered! I saw Chinese, Thai, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and more. We decided to try a variety of savory bao from Honey Bun, which were all nicely fluffy with tasty fillings. The teriyaki one was our fave of the bunch. And the food was handed to me right after ordering, so no need to wait to enjoy! We also got the Adobo Chicken from Manila Grill, which was a good amount of bone-in chicken in a savory broth, with rice on the side. This dish took about 10 min to be ready - not bad at all - and was a bit challenging to eat, but once we dug in we really enjoyed the flavor and tenderness of the chicken. I wish the food hall and Super G Mart closed later on weekends, since we would have liked to grab dessert and shop in the grocery store after our meal, but it was already passed 9pm so things were closing. We'll need to come earlier next time!

Alley 51 is the mecca, the holy grail, the most glorious place you'll ever go to...inside one of the best grocery stores you've been to in awhile. It's a 2 in 1 and bingo, you just hit the lottery!! After you do some international grocery shopping at Super G Market, tuck your groceries away into your trunk and make your way into Alley 51 for an explosion of taste around Asia! If you've ever been to Singapore and visited a hawker center, you'll reminisce those good ol' days of trying different kiosks out and savoring every dish desirable to man (without that awful heat, of course). Never been to Singapore? Well. This is an air conditioned version of a hawker center and you don't need to place a bag of tissues on a table to claim it. There are SO many options. From bao to Korean hot dogs, sushi to boba. Alley 51 has it all! If you love Asian food, you'll enjoy Alley 51. Need a little pick me up? Hang out at the little arcade for a bit and hit the floor on Dance Dance Revolution. Is your child running amuck and overstimulated by too many restaurant choices? There's a little play area for them, too! I'm telling you, Alley 51 has thought it all and brought it all. I love it here!!

Anime Vibes + Amazing Food = Perfect Father's Day! We went to Alley 51 to celebrate Father's Day weekend and WOW it was like stepping into a little anime fan's dream world! From the moment we walked in, I was personally in a mini heaven. The vibe, the decor, everything felt like it was made for fans like us. Now the food... absolutely incredible. I ordered the bao bao buns with roasted duck and they were mouthwatering tender, flavorful, and perfectly done. My dad had the Chinese wings and pork fried rice, and let me tell you, he could not stop talking about how good it was. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and just hit the spot. Such a cool, immersive spot to eat and chill we'll definitely be back. 10/10 experience for both anime lovers and foodies alike!

This spot really never disappoints! It also seems like there's something new every time I come, so that's fun. There are soooo many places to choose from for your food and drink. It can seem overwhelming. I highly recommend going with a group of friends and everyone ordering a couple of things and then you all just share everything. You get to try so much more food that way and it's so fun! This is what I did this trip with a friend of mine. There was so much great food!! It would be a problem for me if Alley 51 was closer to my house. Whew, take me back!

I was slow to get to Alley 51 but once I did I made up for lost time. I don't have too many favorites yet because every single thing I have had has been good. I love that there are plenty of small options because it is so much fun to go with a few people and try a tone of different things. The bar has some nice options too.

Aesthetic: Modern Asian food hall with a wide variety of unique food stalls and a Japanese video game room, Akihabari. My Favorites: I love Akihabari, they have so many wonderful games including my favorite Final Fantasy rhythm game, Theaterhythm. Experience: We love it here, we've tried some authentic dishes and played a few of the games at Akihabari. I highly recommend playing some Theaterhythm then trying some authentic Jian Bing at Quicitop. The workers were a little intense there, but the food was awesome! We still have so many places to try here, they have tons of choices.

So much food but I can only eat so much. (T_T) Everything is so yummy. From the pad thai to the mochi donuts everything is amazing. I love the pagers for each place. Just pick the place and they will have your food ready for pickup in a few mins. Service is quick at most places but lines can get long on the weekend. The atmosphere is that of a food court without the people handing out free samples. (Yes, I want free samples too). I've been here quite a few times and haven't found a place I didn't like. Get the Mochi donuts, oh and the Korean corndogs ooh and the waffle dessert thing that is amazing! Just get it all. (^_^)/"

I have found a gem! I had no idea this place existed. I had to run an errand today in Pineville to pickup a purchase at the Best Buy Outlet. It was lunchtime and I was hungry. I like to support local and not a chain when I can. I had time and decided to look. I found Manila Grill so I went to check it out. I found Alley 51. Oh my gosh, all the Smells!! It was so hard to decide. There are so many options. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. I will be coming back with friends. There is plenty of seating available and even anime playing on a large screen.

This place is absolutely at hit ! So many different amazing vendors with delicious food. If you can't find something here you're not hungry. Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean Thai and even a full bar with all the right ingredients for an afternoon or evening cocktail ! This place is located right beside Super G in the former Kmart space . You remember Kmart right ? Authentic food and drinks. You can get multiple different kinds of food and beverages. Just go and walk around and see. You're welcome!!!

I have spent a majority of my life in Charlotte, and I am so glad Alley 51 opened up. Growing up in Charlotte, there was a heavy lack of diversity. I love Alley 51 because it makes you feel included, safe, and looked out for. There are many kind , friendly, and unique people who visit with their friends and families, and there is a big open space that makes you feel like you can sit and chat with anyone you want casually. It is a very beautiful place to learn more about culture. About a week and a half ago, my mother brought back Duck wings from Great Wall, which were absolutely divine and prepared by other Chinese immigrants / Chinese-Americans. Prepared with an intuitive sense of culture!!! Additionally, I just went to Alley 51 today, and Yume has amazing customer service and friendly staff who are very informative on what combos will come with. Makes me miss food from different countries that I am very fond of. The food there is prepared with love and care. Give these people a raise!!!!! With love, Chelsea

What a cool spot in CLT. I stopped for lunch here today. Got there shortly before 11am, so everything was closed. All spots/stalls/restaurants opened promptly at 11. I chose to have the absolute best pork fried rice in Charlotte from Honey Buns. Closest to NY Chinese I've had since living here. I also had the BBQ pork buns, which aren't as good as the first time I had them years ago. A special mention goes to the lady in the Korean spot called Mukja. She was very kind and friendly. She let me know that the oil was freshly changed, assuring me of the freshness of the chicken katsu I ordered. The system each stall used to let you know your meal is ready is cool. You get a buzzer telling you it's time to pick up. Be mindful of the day of the week you choose to visit. Tuesday is not a good day. A few stall were closed. I would definitely recommend this place

Had such a great experience at the Alley 51 in Pineville. We had the restaurant called sizzling. I ordered the rice with beef and chicken and it came out on a cast iron sizzling hot. Also it came with cucumber salad and miso soup. The food was very fresh and delicious and I will definitely be back to try another vendor.

I swung in to try Ray Lay this time...and I seriously regret this choice. I remember liking Ray Lay at South Boulevard, so I figured this would be about the same...but well, it was way worse! I ordered Pad See Ew with Chicken, and it was just lacking flavor (not enough sauce and/or flavoring). Possibly the worst Pad See Ew I've ever had?? Then the Thai Iced Tea was utterly tasteless...hardly sweet at all! Again, the worst Thai Iced Tea I've ever had! So this lackluster meal (Pad See Ew with Chicken and Thai Iced Tea) costed over 18 bucks. Made me think...From Thai House down the street, you'll get the same items PLUS Spring Roll AND Soup for the same price (or possibly even less - Lunch Specials!)...all nicely presented on a plate with silver utencils...and theirs taste absolutely delicious! Basically, I feel that for the quality you get here, you are paying way too much. So far, I felt this way about the few vendors I've tried so far. I get the need for a casual, to-go vendor, but I just don't get the high restaurant price points at a food court in Pinevile. Anyway, there are still a few more vendors I need to try...so maybe I'll see things differently? If based soley on the food (and drink) that I had at Ray Lay, I probably would have rated 1 star. But I didn't want to pull down the ratings for the entire food court since I've tried only a few vendors. I'll just keep the same ratings for now...but all I know is that Ray Lay is a vendor I'll be skipping this point on...unless things change for the better (meaning, better tasting foods and/or lower price points).

It's hard to review this as one place because they're all independent businesses. Just keep that in mind. It's like reviewing optimist hall and lumping it altogether... you can't. The bao bun is 10/10. I for the Chinese bao bun. Get 50 of em from Honey Buns II. I also got milk tea from them. 10/10. Dairy free. Ok next...I got the beef flank steak pho (I believe) from Saigon Cafe. I choked on the steak because I was being greedy but also because it is VERY chewy and fatty. So I think they should cut the fat because I couldn't eat many pieces. The Pho doesn't come with everything in it. It comes with the broth and meat and then you get a sandwich bag full of the scallions, and onions, and etc. lastly, I ended with honeycow desserts. I got one of the waffles. Don't ask what kind because I forgot. But hey it was good. Do I need it again? Not dying for it but it's pretty good.

Found this place as the perfect meet up spot for me and some family as I visited the Charlotte area. This place is just ridiculously cool, it's more of a large Asian food Hall with tons of options and a lot of space to hang out. It's in a shopping center connected to a Great Wall grocery store so parking is also convenient. Lots of cool murals to take pics with and even in arcade. There's even a stage so I figure they would have some performances at some time. Definitely a great choice if you need options and space for your group.

Alley 51 is a hidden gem! We ordered from The Great Wall and the food was so good -- flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The entire space is super clean, well-organized, and filled with a variety of food options. This was actually my second time visiting, and I found out they had recently reopened -- glad I caught them post-relaunch because everything was on point. Customer service at Honey Cow was absolutely on point! As soon as we walked up, we were greeted right away -- it's always nice to feel acknowledged from the start. They have a great variety of boba options, and the lady who helped us was super helpful and patient while we placed our order. We tried the Brown Sugar Milk Tea and the Passionfruit Green Tea -- both were delicious! Our drinks were made quickly and tasted fresh. I highly recommend this location if you're looking for tasty boba and great service. I'll definitely be back! I seriously have nothing but positive things to say about Alley 51 food court. It's the perfect stop after grocery shopping -- grab a bite, try something new, and enjoy the variety. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out!

Clean and modern food court with lots of options. It was fun trying different things. We had jian bing from Quicitop, which is like a crepe stuffed with lettuce, crispy wonton, protein, and a sauce. I'm not sure what the sauce was but it tasted like a peanuty hoisin to me. We went with squid for our protein, which there was plenty of. The serving is huge and comes stacked in half. Definitely an interesting mix of textures and flavors. I was craving fried chicken so had to get the Korean chicken nugs from Itaewon. The chicken was nice and crispy as expected. The sauce was sweeter than I would like, but still tasty. This was a sizable portion even for two people. Finally, we had a little bit of room left and split a BBQ pork bun from Honey Buns. I liked that the bun came out hot, but would have liked more filling. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other restaurants.

Started out nice, but boy the nickeling and diming! The fees, the credit card surcharging, the extra charges for sauces, the warning labels for getting napkins and utensils! It's like a mexican standoff with overpriced food trucks under the guise of CAFETERIA DINING of all things! They also want a tip for EVERYTHING, they are self serve, sometimes you never even see a human being - just a kiosk... but yes, make sure you tip 30% BEFORE that food arrives! Go somewhere else. Yame Noodle is $14-15 per decent adult meal without the obnoxious surcharging. Oh, and they don't charge you for a cup of tap water like they do here at Alley 51 (free refillable tapwater, what?)

Good a few things from each place to try and enjoyed most of them. However, the options are very basic (and not all are as authentic dishes). The concept is really cute and huge space too. Wish the options were not as Americanized.

I've had two visits to Alley 51 since the food hall opened and overall I think the food hall is worth checking out. The food hall has a nice amount of vendors with various offerings. I suggest trying out each vendor and even multiple items at each vendor as food items may be hit or miss. There is spacious seating, inside and out, and the staff does a great job of keeping the tables clean. The menu items I've tried thus far is... YUME: Azami Fried Roll ($13.99)- salmon, cream cheese, avocado, and eel sauce- Great combination of flavors, but I prefer my sushi to be room temperature or warm when fried. While this is my preference, I still wanted to give it a try and hoped for the best. - RECOMMENDED. HONEY BUN CAFÉ: Taro Milk Tea ($4.85, with boba +$0.75) and Brown Sugar Milk Tea - both milk teas were absolute perfection and are highly recommended. Jumbo Bun ($3.99) - pork, egg, sausage, jicama, onions - This jumbo bun didn't work for me. I loved the texture of the bun, but the filling didn't resonate with me as it came across sort of dry. Their BBQ bun on the other hand was much better as it was moist and the flavor was magnificent. Shrimp Dumpling (4pc - $4.50) - shrimp filling in tapioca wrapper - I loved every bite. GREAT WALL CHINESE KITCHEN - Roast Duck Rice Plate ($12.95)- served with rice, seasonal vegetables and a spiced corned egg - The roast duck is well-seasoned and tasted great, but I spent most of the time spitting out bones than actually eating. I would get this again, but only if I could get my duck boneless. MANILA GRILL - Halo Halo ($6.99)- a Filipino treat with shaved ice, milk, ube halaya, leche flan, sweetened beans, fruits, coconut jelly and is topped with ice cream and rice krispies - I loved the presentation, the taste, and how loaded it was with goodies. I would definitely get this again. ITAEWON - Hibachi Burrito with shrimp and white sauce ($11.99), Hand Cut Fries ($5.99) - This was my absolute favorite entrée out of my two visits to Alley 51. The burrito is enormous in size and packed with immense flavor. I loved and treasured every bite.

Honestly pretty disappointing coming here. I was looking forward to coming for a while and made a trip to go. It shows they close at 10:00pm and we got there at 8:00pm. Most of the places were out of items and closing around 8:30pm. We ordered from a few places and the food just wasn't a WOW item and it could be that we ordered the wrong things. But nothing worth coming back for to try other items. My favorite place was Mochinut and they did not disappoint. They Kdogs and donuts were amazing.

We wanted a different lunch experience and this did not disappoint. Right in the Super G Market is an entire food court of delicious Asian dishes from 5+ vendors. It took us about 10 minutes to go through the market before choosing the vendor for our lunch. We ordered from Railay Thai and it only took them 20 minutes to make our orders. We waited in the donut line next door and by the time I got my donuts the Thai food was ready and we sat down to eat. Everything was fresh and delicious however if you don't order a drink with your meal, it's difficult to just buy water and nothing else on a credit card so either buy with your meal or go into the supermarket and get your individual drink if needed. Also, while the base Mochinut donuts are fresh and delicious, the toppings do not really add much or represent the flavor it's intended very well.

We went here on a Saturday afternoon. There was plenty of parking. When you walk in there are many restaurants to choose from. This place had a variety of Asian food. Anything from Thai, Korean, Philippino, Chinese. They had foods from duck, chicken, shrimp and many vegetable options. They had a variety is drinks, dessert and there was bar inside as well. The service was good you stand in line and they give you a buzzer when your food is ready. It took about 10-15min for our food to get made. The food was nice and hot and flavorful. We will be back to try some of the other places here.

So overall the place has alit of options we just chose the wrong option. I would not recommend the Great Wall of China. I ordered a seafood bowl extra spicy. Had no taste at all. Messy and peppery with no flavor. I also had the worst ramen ever and I was shocked Mexican because it's an Asian place. My friend had a soy chicken plate. His chicken was cold. I got a guava margarita from the bar and it was not tasty. Maybe next visit I'll try another restaurant. There are tons of other options. There's a kids play area and arcade dessert places and a small market. I can't give it over 4 stars until I try it out again. The atmosphere was family oriented, and couples. This place had the ducks on the outside.

Charlotte has been needing an Asian food hall that had as much variety and authenticity as Alley 51! The vibes were so awesome that it almost transported you to a different continent! Food was so good, ordering was easy and all the workers were super helpful, and the experience was awesome! This will be a staple for me for a long time to come!

LOVE IT!! This food court is similar to Optimist Hall in that there are several places to eat. It opens into Super G, the Asian grocery store. There's a stage in there. It isn't only Asian food but is made that way. For example, you can get a corndog or fried mozzarella. Definitely worth a trip if you're in the mood to try a new dish or want to walk around a bit. So good!

Alley51 is an international eatery. It is great place to go when you have a bunch of people with you and no one can make a decision about where/what to eat. This is also a great place to go solo to have a little bite of everywhere and take some stuff home with you. I must have ordered from at least half dozen restaurants including from a Chinese restaurant (Great wall), two of the Thai food places , mochinut... There is even a bar. Keep in mind that there may be a bit of a wait at some of the restaurants. Most of the restaurants seem to follow the trend of issuing pagers once an order is placed. Everything that I had was delicious. The dining hall is pretty spacious and included option for outdoor seating. Parking is within a shared lot with multiple other businesses. I am looking forward to returning to try some of the other restaurants.

Mochinuts are addictive and delicious. The texture is so satisfying. I love the coffee and smores flavors. Husband has enjoyed original, honeydew, and thai tea. Once you have it, you'll crave it.

Alley 51 is my go-to "no cook, no stress" weekend treat, and let me tell you--it never misses. I've tried five vendors so far, and each one brought something different to the table (literally). Honey Cow Dessert Lab makes the crispiest croffles topped with everything from fruity to indulgent. Dessert? Secured. Honey Buns II serves up soft, fluffy steamed buns packed with flavor. I actually discovered them shortly after Alley 51 opened--they've been tucked inside Super G Mart, serving up goodness that's easy to miss but hard to forget. Great Wall is where I go when I need that familiar comfort food fix. Mochinut is a chewy, sweet dream--IYKYK. And Sizzling? Whew. The name doesn't lie. Bold flavors, hot and fresh. I'm slowly working my way through every vendor, and it's been the most delicious mission ever. The vibe at Alley 51 is chill, friendly, and full of good energy. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or vibing with friends, this spot delivers. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor--come hungry, bring curiosity, and try something new. Pineville's food scene is leveling up, and Alley 51 is leading the way.

Love this venue for the food selections and definitely the family environment. I've made Saigon my favorite place for Pho in Charlotte. They always have pleasant service and the food is delicious. Can't leave without a churro mochi donut. My family visits often and everyone leaves happy.

Beautiful food, pleasant facility, but the prices are INSANE. Only a fool would spend that much.

I love love LOVE this place. There are just so many options to choose from in this food hall. This time I got the Kimchi Fried Rice from Mukja. 10/10, perfect amount of kimchi to rice ratio. The staff at each restaurant are always super friendly! There are lots of places to sit and enjoy your meal. The ambiance is chill and jovial.

My husband, daughter and I went yesterday and here is my review. It's long! lol! First of all, we frequent Super G a lot and did at the independence location as well. We really enjoy ethnic food and coming from Chicago - really miss a lot of the variety we could get there. I am thrilled that there is something this cool here. For those of you who have gone to Optimist Hall or Ponce City in ATL...it is like that but has all of the different Asian foods. I think I counted 11 different booths currently, plus for those with kids, there is an arcade and a play area for the littler ones. So many different kinds of food: Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Thai. If you and your significant other can't decide what to order at home...go there and get your own thing. They did have a stall that had liquor and also served a burger, so if you are interested in they, you have a choice. Also, Mochinut had potato corn dogs, if you have some folks in your party who want something plain. We went in and walked around to every booth before deciding what to get. It was hard because I could have eaten at any of them. There was something that looked tasty at each one. I decided to try Quicitop because I have never had Jian Bing before and the lure of the crepe makers got me. I ordered the Peking Duck Jian Bing. I also got the pork dumplings as an appetizer for our group. Dumplings were good but probably would try something different next time but I LOVED the Jian Bing and would definitely try that again. My husband went to Rai Lay and got the Basil Chicken with an egg and my daughter got the kids/side Chicken Lo Mein. He ordered his hot and it was spicy - he enjoyed it. My daughter is 6 so of course she loves noodles For dessert we had HoneyCow and tried the Honey Butter Croffle and the Espresso Croffle. Wowza! That whip is amazing. Such a treat! We were stuffed and had leftovers to take home. Cost? Yes, pricier than McDonalds - but what I would expect for quality food. It's not cheap to go anywhere right now and i love the idea of having so much variety and being able to expose my daughter to different things. Her first time trying duck last night! 100% going again. Already thinking about what to get next! My husband, daughter and I went yesterday and here is my review. It's long! lol!

I've only tried Mochinut so far, twice, but great both times. it is card only at Mochinut but some of the other places accept cash and card. Gets busy pretty quick on the weekend, and the weekdays around lunch time. Plenty of options and super convenient. I will probably be stopping by every time I visit G Mart lol.

Wow wow! It's so crazy how we just stumbled on this place! I love itttt! We tried the chicken from one of the restaurants, I can't complain at all. The lady was very knowledgeable and able to guide us, I also loved how there's so many options to sit and eat while watching anime!

Decent banh mi from Saigon Cafe. Not horrible but not amazing either. The bread was soft (which I liked) but the meat was still cold. I'm interested in coming back and trying their other food items

I've been here numerous times, with experiences from numerous food vendors. I have tried * Mochinut * Honeycow Desserts * Manila Grill * Honey Bun Cafe * Rai Lay Express Mochinut & Honeycow are more dessert catered choices. I do love honeycow & always make sure to stop by and get a croffle from them. My favorite being the biscoff one. Mochinut was okay, I believe you have to get them fresh in order to get the real mochi donut experience. As a filipino, I did not enjoy Manila Grill as much as I wanted to. I've had other relatives try food from them and say the same. Their palabok was a 5/10 for me. I also believe that they should at least sell 4 pieces of lumpia for $5 versus the 2 for $5 deal they have. The lumpia was okay as well. Hoping they improve in the future. Honey Bun cafe is somewhere I always stop at as well. I love their boba, the caramel smoothie being my favorite. Their shrimp dumplings and shrimp fried rice is delicious for being such a simple dish. Rai Lay is probably my favorite so far, I love the wide variety of their menu. I have tried their Thai popcorn chicken, sausage and jerky. Their popcorn chicken caught me off guard cause at first it looks spicy but it is more of a sweet & sour sauce, still was enjoyable for me. Their sausage & jerky paired with some of their sticky rice is very good. Hoping to try more from their menu soon! (Will update with pictures & more when I try other vendors)
