I was so happy to see El Sazon in Eat Street Crossing! Much like I’ve come to expect at their other locations, this spot was outstanding. I like the atmosphere at Eat Street Crossing, the people are super friendly and helpful, and the food is next level. I tried their Birria pizza and loved it! If you’re anywhere near this place, get in and see these guys. You’ll be happy with your decision!

I was thoroughly disappointed - we ordered three tacos, one drink, and chips and dip, which totaled $34.00. Although the food appeared appetizing, it lacked flavor!!! Very tasteless It’s a HARD NO for me !!!

One of the best tacos, burritos, and birria. Great staff and atmosphere as well.

Such a fun food hall with many amazing options for food, drink and desserts! I can't wait to try out their beautiful patio when the weather warms up. I tried Staff Meeting and recommend the Tonkotsu Ramen. Service was just ok, as to be expected with cafeteria style service. It looks like it could accommodate large and small groups easily inside the main dining area or out on the large patio.

Super cute food fall with various stalls inside that has sushi, Mexican food, Vietnamese food, ramen, and ice cream + boba. They also have a bar and drinks on tap. Tried the guavatron cider and it was delicious! For a cocktail, I tried the brambleberry sour which was also refreshing and delicious! For food - got the banh mi with the dipping sauce. I thought it was ok. Cool concept but I think it could be more flavorful in my opinion. Tried the tom yom ramen from Staff meeting. Very flavorful and spicy which I liked. Came with a lot of stuff like the boiled egg, meat, seaweed, what not. It was tasty but the meat was a little more on the chewy side so I had to eat the whole piece in one because it was tough to bite in to. Aside from that, really yummy and the concept of the stall is anime so it's cool if you're in to that! They have plenty of seating, inside and out and the decor is so cute! Bathrooms are located downstairs and it looks like you can rent out the top floor. Great place to come to if you want to try some Asian food out and to get some alcoholic beverages.

Fun spot to come try the food in the hall! A friend highly recommended the Brazilian pizza but that spot has closed since she told me. Nevertheless, I enjoyed trying dishes from both House of Huê and Staff Meeting. Loved both the Braised Beef Bone bowl and the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup Deluxe from House of Huê! Very flavorful and loved every bite! Also enjoyed the ribs and moco from Staff Meeting. The moco was very delicious and had depth of flavor in the curry with the rice and burger steaks. Tasted great even reheated the next day! The ribs were fall apart tender. My only critical comment on the ribs is the flavor was a bit plain and felt oily on my hands and lips. Will definitely come again!

Fascinating building with lots of fun interesting design features. Many different food and drink options. Order at the different counters, get a pager and it will buzz when your food is ready. I tried the salmon sushi and it was great. I was there with the Urban Sketchers Twin Cities. I'll be back at #eatstreetcrossing

Was here for another event that turned into lets grab food...cause thats the point right.. The ramen place set a whole vibe for a reason to go back with the wings and fries.. flavors were something I haven't really come across! As for the pizza joint here fell sadly flat. We got the lil cheese balls bread (essentially what they are) and they were super hard almost like not cooked enough or overcooked. They didnt taste right and for the meat pockets were burnt. I felt bad to even go up and ask as there was only one guy working. It's a unique fit and different food choice kinda place!

This dining hall has a variety of food options from pizza, sushi, ramen, ice cream & boba, and burgers. It even has a liquor store and a bar. There are seats available throughout the dining hall including outdoors and upstairs. The place was clean. Doors were opened wide on a spring evening. I noticed there was a staff member who round the dining hall and kept the place tidy. I ordered from two different businesses: Niko Niko Boba and Staff Meeting (ramen place). There were 6% service charges included when placing your order. You could also order from your phone using the QR code on the tables. As much as this place is cool and I would love to visit with friends and family, my issue is finding parking. It does not have a designated parking. I saw cars parked in no parking zone along the alley, there is street parking available, but no actual parking lot.

I have try niko niko and bebe burger. However, i haven't try the rest of the food here. This place is super nice and hidden in south Minneapolis on Nicollet. It is a smaller version of Malcom Yard but with less restaurants. There is sitting inside and outside. You can get a card and order food and beer. One thing that brings this place down to a 4 is parking. It is located in an area where parking is super limited. There isn't any parking lot you will have to park on the street or somewhere in the neighborhood. Definitely will come back to this place to hang out with friends and family. It is very open and family friendly. The prices range from $2 to $25 dollars.

What a fun and gorgeous food court! Spectacular outdoor and indoor seating layout with plentiful food selection. My friends and I enjoyed trying out the foods from exquisite yummy sushi sandwiches from PinKU to delectable cheese curds and succulent small batch home made ice cream at Bebe Zito, sitting outside in the gorgeous courtyard to enjoy the sushi and then inside at the super cute tables and seats for dessert from Bebe Zito! So much fun and so yummy! Free parking at the designated abandoned Car Wash across the food court, which doesn't sound safe but it is totally and is totally awesome! What are you waiting for? Everyone should visit this extraordinary unique food court. Such a wonderful experience!

Great place to hang out with friends. A lot of great food and drink options. Service is fast, you can order from the QR code from difference restaurant or go up to the counter and get a buzzer. Parking is a little tough on the street but you can use the car wash parking lot. The ramen was called the red phoenix? I don't remember but it was REALLY good!

A great space to meet up and allow for dietary restrictions or taste differences. I got the most amazing mezcal drink, that I unfortunately can't recall the name of. The bartender was spot on with the suggestion and put together a work of ART. Got the chicken tender basket and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and the juiciness of the tenders. The fries were alright, but a fried upgraded to the cheese curds and wow. I don't usually like or gravitate to cheese curds, but these were done really well and I enjoyed them thoroughly. The dipping sauce was a nice blend. Topped it off with some ice cream! When I asked for a sample, they said they don't provide samples but if I was unhappy they would replace the scoop. I got the puppy chow and it was heaven. I tried an egg nog flavored one and was disappointed.. but was treated so well when I went back to replace that scoop. Overall I felt it was really pricey, and I didn't love needing to tip because I did my own service and clean up. There was also a table topper QR codes to order, but then I needed to go pick up the meal from the counter, it wasn't delivered to my table number. The woman was cranky when I clarified if the order was mine as there was no indication, and gave a nice eye roll when I asked for a sauce cup. Water glasses were small and I needed to refill frequently which was annoying more than anything..

I really like this place. It's like a mall, but just full of restaurants! There's also a large, well stocked bar in the center. Ample indoor seating and a beautiful outside courtyard full of seating. Multiple food options make it a perfect place for groups (large and small) to sample and share all the food. It's very convenient ordering on your phone or at each food counter. The neighborhood feels a little down on its luck, but it seems to be working on a resurgence. They do have security on site, which is nice. The only real negative is that it takes a while to get your order, no one seems in a hurry.

Cute place to grab lunch with friends and some cocktails but oh my gosh is the upstairs beautiful! Love the idea of ordering at your table with the barcode then picking up the food at the counter, very convenient. Only wish there were more vendors for food choices. We had the pride sushi of the month rice was nice and soft but flavors were good but not the greatest. Our favorite was the holy grail roll. The kimchi barra was good but a little sweet for my liking, a little kick of spice added would be chef's kiss. The chicken wings were nice and crispy one of my favorites as well as the fried pickles. We didn't get a chance to try the ramen place but we will definitely be back to try it. Also loved that it was dog friendly we were able to bring our fur baby and sat on the nice patio.

The number of restaurants in this food hall has gone down, but the quality hasn't changed. It's still solid food, well prepared at a ready price. I met with some friends for lunch last week. They were as happy as I was with the food and the atmosphere. Two of us had bowls from Staff Meeting, one had ramen from Hikari. The fourth in our party had her heart set on sushi, but the sushi chef at Hikari Hand Roll was late. I was sad to see that the burger and pizza places from last time seemed to be closed. I would go again. It's a great place to relax and the food is delicious. I just hope they get some of the empty restaurant slots filled.

Had fun trying out Eat Street Crossing! The sushi sandos from Sushi Dori and ramen from Staff Meeting were great! Loved the food options at this food hall and will come back to try more of the other items from the other vendors. Fun place to hang out with friends.

First time in! A little confusing on how it all works but staff was very helpful. Ordered the ramen since our usual ramen spot was unexpectedly closed. Ramen was solid. My partner had the spicy brothless ramen and unfortunately couldn't finish it: chili explosion that wiped out his palate. My ramen was good, chicken could've been improved but hit the spot. Drinks were good but a bit overly sweet for our tastes. Beautiful open space with large outdoor area for warmer nights. Appears to be a place to borrow board games but unsure how this works. Will be back!

Food at Staff meeting was delicious its pricey but worth it. Here we had OBORETA DANGO (DROWNED DUMPLING) and Kurimichiki RAMEN absolutely delicious, in the past weve also had the braised ribs the moms and dads fried rice. My 6 year old loves it and so do we. The chef is always there to make his pairing recommendations.

I am loving it!! The environment is great, open space and lots of seating area. First time being here but had already been to the bebezito before. I know their burger is amazing. Looking forwards to try other stuff. Gotta say the parking is a little challenging. Came during the lunch time so I can't imagine what is the parking at night would look like

I always love trying out food hall type spots - we came earlier on a Friday night to try todas the massive dinner rush. Parking is a doozy...be careful of signs on side roads - they do have a valet and it's probably worth the $5 unless you are within walking distance! Food options are pretty different which I really liked. We could go family style and get different appetizers or sides from the different restaurants. I personally got a sushi sando - the tuna poke sando and it was yummy! I also got to try the cheese curds - they were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Food was priced on the high side, but service was great and everyone was really nice! Lines are pretty long, so be prepared to wait. The ambiance is fun and in an open space. It gets pretty loud, and finding a seat is pretty cut throat, so get there early and look for a spot right away if you want to have a table to sit at!

Popped in on a Friday night and it was incredibly busy but still tables available for seating! The staff are so incredibly patient, friendly, and FAST! As soon as someone gets up, tables are almost instantaneously cleared and cleaned, it was very efficient. We ordered from a couple different places but ultimately got a bowl of ramen (Red Phoenix + chili bomb), an Americano pizza, chicken sandwich, fried pickles and cheese curds. Safe to say we were pretty full by the end of the night! My husband said he wished he hadn't added the chili bomb and the broth wasn't super creamy. The pizza was really great but the last slice sat in the leftover oil and was super soggy by the end. My husband loved the chicken sandwich but wasn't too impressed with the fried pickles. I would say the cheese curds are a classier high end version where it's cubed provolone I believe? Not mozzarella so it was a bit different but still good! Note - there are kiosks at the front as well as individuals at each stall to help you order but the option is also available for you to grab a table first and just order main entrees using the QR cards posted on the placards.

A solid 3.5 stars. Brand new food hall in the neighborhood. I was really excited to visit because this part of town really needs the life haha. The good stuff: Everyone really liked what they got to eat and drink. Quality was top notch. I got the shrimp tempura sushi and it was awesome The not so great: Little to no parking around, really difficult to find a place to sit and the system of getting drinks is rather ineffective. Creates a bit of a mess around the bar. Overall good experience . Hoping it gets better as time goes on.

It's trendy for sure with the food hall concept, but it's good, and honestly I'd rather come here than some of the alternatives like Food Building or Malcolm. I really like that there's an actual bar you can sit at. The vibe is young and hip, it's a great date spot (Ok, I know this because I ended up here on a date... but she wanted a second one so not too bad! ) They also have a great wine system: there's a wall of bottles and they're all $25. Maybe $20 on Wednesday although the manager claimed that special only applied to one bottle. The other thing that makes this great is that there's a happy hour. That includes cocktails and wine at the bar, but also a special at each of the food stalls, like $6 sushi rolls or mini pizzas. And there's a phone menu, so you can order any of those from your bar seat then go pick them up. Totally am going to hit this again.

Food halls are one of my favorite trends right now! When you're trying to please a group, it's the perfect spot for everyone to find what suits their fancy! Parking is a bit tricky in this neck of the woods, but street parking is available. When in doubt, paid valet is also an option! The space itself is spectacular...big tall ceilings, indoor and outdoor seating, upstairs loft area if you're looking for something quieter. We went on a Saturday evening and were able to find a table for our party of six. No reservations or guaranteed seating available, so you have to roll the dice. Bathrooms were located downstairs, but there is a handicap accessible bathroom in the back corner of the main level. Well-staffed and very clean! Our group sampled a bunch of the vendors, but I dove deep into Shoten Ramen! The Bao was flavorful, the Gyoza were yummy, but the Red Phoenix Ramen was the star! Creamy, flavorful broth, plenty of fixings to discover, and a good serving of noodles. Would absolutely re-order! Can't wait to make Eat Street Crossing one of my regular stops!

Eat Street Crossing is a newer food hall that I have been wanting to try. They have a few options from sushi, burgers, ramen, bubble tea, ice cream, and drinks. However, I don't think there is enough variety of foods to be a fun food hall experience. When I went there, nothing was really speaking to me in terms of food. I got the burger which was not bad, I did enjoy the fried pickles. However, I wish there was more food options to choose from. My friend ordered the ramen which was not good at all. The noodles tasted a bit off and almost too over cooked. The bar was probably my favorite part because they have specialty cocktails based on your zodiac sign which was unique and the drink was delicious. However, out of the food halls in the twin cities area I would not go back.

Trendy spot to get drinks, desserts, and comfort food. They've got a nice outdoor, dog friendly patio and are attached to a nice liquor store. Parking is free but usually street only. Sometimes they have access to a lot nearby. They've got some really nice space to reserve upstairs called the "sewing room" that overlooks the food hall and liquor store. Each stall and the bar are independent so you use a credit card at each unless you're using the self-pour tap wall. It's a really nice place in an old warehouse and if you go during off hours it's relatively quiet. It gets real roast on weekends and in the evenings, though. We got food but I'll review those places independently. The beer was small, but nice and the bartender was extremely helpful and friendly. They're pretty slow earlier in the week and during the day so he offered to make us anything we wanted and gave us the rundown of the place. You can take your drinks with you to order food. The contrails we got were innovative and paired extremely well with the food we ordered. We'll probably be back soon.

The parking situation is so terrible that I removed a star. They have valet for $5, otherwise street parking. There are lots of one ways in the area making looking for street spots difficult. We went when it was busy. The environment is pretty loud and the acoustics amplify the sound. The atmosphere is relaxed. There were only two of the restaurants where the QR code was working. Each restaurant has their own kiosk or order at the counter. They text when food is ready, which I hated because I felt not engaged with the people I was with while waiting for the text. Highlight was the honey butter chicken tenders. They were crispy and a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The chicken paired with the sauce is such an elevated flavor. This would be a great place for meeting with friends or when it gets nice outside to enjoy their patio.

Finally getting around to finishing this long-overdue review! I stopped by on opening day to see the new food hall in town, and it is such a vibrant addition to the Whittier neighborhood and Eat Street Experience. INSIDE: Sushi Dori Chatime Ouro Pizzaria Ramen Shoten Liquor Exchange Bebe Zito and a bar! I really like the variety of food, drinks, snacks, and treats. The mix of recognizable names like Chatime and Bebe Zito mixed with new concepts is a great blend. ORDERING: Use a QR code at your table or the kiosk at the entrance for efficiency. SEATING: The seating on the main floor can fill up fast, but there's more upstairs! Plus, it's a great view from above. PARKING: This is the biggest challenge about coming here. Parking in this area is always tricky, so be prepared to walk a ways - or pay for valet.

Great vibe and I like the smaller footprint than other food halls. In our single visit we ordered from Bebe Burger, Ramen Shoten and Bebe Zito ice cream. Bebe burger - A for the burgers and fries. A- for the chicken tendie's (slightly over fried). B- for the cheddar tots. Ramen Shoten - A+ for chicken karaage. A- for gyoza. B+ for beef bao. We didn't try the ramen. Contrary y to other reviews complaining about the high prices I found the food to be better than average quality, fresh and larger than expected portions. So I think the value is there.

Had lunch at Eat Street Crossing during a Minneapolis trip. I liked the variety of vendors you can find inside -- from sushi to burgers -- but the food is pretty pricey. They also have kiosks by the front entrance where you can order from and get notified to pick up your order after you find seating. This food hall also had plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, so it would be good to come here with a group of friends. I opted for Ouro Pizzaria and ordered the Pele pizza which came with spicy calabrese salami and was drizzled with jalapeno-infused agave. I had high expectations because I really like hot honey pizza. It was ok though, nothing to write home about. It was also pretty oily/soggy and expensive (I think it was around $18).

We decided to try out the burger place here before going to see The Grinch at Children's Theater Company. My friend had been here once before and enjoyed the ramen he ate. Since we couldn't decide on what we were hungry for, we thought that a burger at Bebe Zito Burgers would be ok. Well, we ordered the meal with the Cheddar Tots and Honey Butter Chips. Nothing we ate was very flavorful. the chips weren't salted, so they didn't have a memorable flavor. The chips themselves were good without the honey. I added salt to make them better. Not sure why they weren't tossed with a bit of salt before the honey was added. There was some kind of sauce, and not much of it, on the burgers. Can't tell you the flavor. Again, everything was bland. While I get that these are smashed burgers, the bun is way too small for the meat. We both wished we'd gone with our first thought and eaten at Quang's.

Super cute environment - we went near Christmas and they had beautiful lights! I had the POG drink which I wouldn't recommend it was very heavy on the puree which made it thick and taste like fruit flavored gum. Pizza was great, they have servers clearing which is nice!

I love the food hall trend for the different options and Eat Street Crossing is a great addition to Minneapolis! There are fewer options than some others, but it's less overwhelming. The inside doesn't have a ton of tables and it did get busy after 6pm on a Friday. There's also a large patio outside with bonfires going and more seating. We tried the three musketeers sushi roll and it was pretty good. It had a lot of cream cheese and dill flavor. The chicken tendies basket from Bebe zito was amazing! The pieces were huge and easy to split for two people. It came with a special dipping sauce that was great. There was even a Chatime there to get a bubble tea on the way out. It's a great place to meet groups at with food tastes for everyone! Parking in the area was strange with different signs on every street, but if you walk a block or two it's not bad.

Awesome new food hall! I seriously loved the building with brick walls and how everything was set up. There were options for everyone! From sushi to bubble tea to burgers to chicken sandwiches and ramen and cocktails. Great place to meet up with friends with all different tastes. Lots of seating inside, and outside there were tables and a fire going! We tried sushi from Sushi Dori. Highly recommend the 3 Musketeers roll! It came with 8 pieces. We also got the Honey Butter Chicken Tendies basket from Bebe Zito. 10/10. 2 huge crispy chicken tenders and generous portion of salty fries and the special sauce was delicious. We also got a bubble tea from Chatime that was super good. We ordered at the counter of each place but you can also order from your table and order with the QR code and pick up when ready. Would love to go back and try cocktails from the bar next time!

"Staff Meeting" at Eat Street is definitely A game changer. In my opinion I have eaten many things on the menu and everything is simply delicious. Each street is one of my top favorite food halls for many, many reasons. Everything from amazing ice cream sushi burgers. I can't even quote it all to you.You just have to go taste for yourself!!! Staff meeting is most definitely has one of the most unique and delicious menus in our beautiful city. Do your tummy a favor and fo try it. You'll be coming back for more and more.I guarantee it!!!

Stopped in with a friend for dinner and some drinks. We got there at 6, and could find immediate bar seating but tables were getting snatched up pretty quickly. We were greeted by the bartenders and eventually ordered a couple star sign cocktails. My friend ordered a sushi roll that she said was great. I ordered a margarita pizza which was fabulous and so delicious. Overall it's worth a trip out there to check it out!

This place is awesome if you can walk, bike, Uber, scooter, rollerblade, etc - Just NOT for the cars. Parking was challenging and the neighborhood was far from a vibe but the space itself was awesome. I enjoyed both the drinks and the food. Lots of options for large groups or for indecisive people. Head upstairs for some killer views of the space from above and tons of extra seating.

Love this food hall. It has a nice ambience with a lot to offer: pizza, sushi, burger, ramen, spirit, wine, beer and ice cream. Happy Hour is in place at the bar from 4-6p. Got here around 5:30p on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Decided to seat by the patio enjoying a bit of the sunlight while sipping my glass of beer listening to some cool music playing on the speakers. Just in time to see crowd coming in to spend their weekend at this place. Simply lovely!

This place is very cute. It's a great hang out spot for large groups with varying tastes. You can get pizza, chicken sandwiches, sushi, ramen and more. However I feel like the food offerings here are not good enough or unique enough to make repeat visits. The cocktails are simply made and are not worth the price tag in my opinion. Cha time boba tea is here but they're an okay boba tea chain. I recommend you pass on the lattes here since they only taste like milk. Now for the good stuff... Order the yuzu karage chicken and any of the baos. They were the best tasting things I ordered here.

I was excited to see that Minnesota was getting a food hall after having been to a really great one in Oregon this past summer and loving the concept. Once I saw it was open, I didn't hesitate to go check it out. We went on a snowy Wednesday night, thinking it may be a little less crazy than waiting until the weekend. I was wrong about that. After driving around for about 10 minutes trying to find parking, we finally snagged a spot from someone who was leaving a couple blocks away. The place was PACKED. We placed orders at the food kiosks and had to keep circling around until we could find a place to sit. Another 10-15 minutes or so and we finally managed to catch a table with people leaving (there was just two of us, so not trying to find space for a big group). The concept itself is pretty cool. There are a decent amount of options for people with different tastes. I like being able to order from a kiosk or from my phone, especially since I like to customize my options and I don't have to worry about someone not hearing me. I have full control over my order. The staff at the door was welcoming and friendly and did a great job explaining how things worked. The building was a very cool industrial chic space and I liked the vibes. Now for the food. We tried something from almost every place and my overall impression was just kind of meh. I started with a burger and cheese tots from Bebe Zito. Whereas it was definitely good, the serving size for both the tots and burger was too small for the price (the small side of cheese tots was $5 and there were maybe 8-10 tots? Definitely not worth the cost). The burger was about slider size and not really enough for a meal. My partner got a sando from Sushi Dori which he said he liked. I was really excited about the drink menu at the ESC Bar because of the variety. Again, I ended up feeling a little disappointed. The flavors weren't really there in some of the drinks I tried. I ended up switching one out - the All Thai'd Up - because it really didn't taste like anything. Staff at the bar was super awesome and friendly so nothing against the service. I did like the Cabin Collins so I would definitely recommend that one. Next we tried Yuzu Karaage and a Beef Bao from Ramen Shoten. The karaage was really good and I would definitely get it again. The bao tasted like the meet was just doused in teriyaki and soy sauce. It was really salty and just did not taste that good. Ouro Pizzeria was next on the docket. Again, overpriced for what you got. The crust was good and the flavors were good, just not quite worth the $18+ we spent on a single pizza (we got the Pele). We rounded out the night with passionfruit Creme brûlée from Bebe Zito ice cream, which was surprisingly good. I'm not usually a fan of tropical flavors but this was amazing. It was probably the highlight of the night. I would go back again maybe several months down the line once the place has been up and running a little longer. With any new place, there is going to be trial and error and kinks to work out. I'm hoping the food will be more solid by then. I felt like the whole thing was more about the experience because none of the food was that special, especially for what you're paying. I love the concept, I love that a group of people can go there and find something to suit a variety of tastes, and I think the space was really cool. I'm hoping once the buzz and excitement of it being brand new dies down, it'll be easier to go and get a seat. The location is best suited for walking or rideshare when possible. If you're driving yourself, be prepared to park a little further away or spending time searching for a spot (this is pretty typical for Minneapolis so really no surprises with this). Overall, the experience was mediocre. Staff and ambiance were great. Might be worth waiting it out before visiting Eat Street Crossing to avoid overcrowding and improvements that come with being more established.

I visited Eat Street Crossing with my friends yesterday, a Friday afternoon. Parking was difficult to find but luckily we were able to find a spot since there weren't too many people when we arrived. One of the workers greeted us at the door and kindly described all the options and ways to order. There were lots of food options at each restaurant, although most restaurants only had 1-2 vegetarian options which was interesting. We all loved the greenway maki roll from Sushi Dori. It looked beautiful and had a perfectly sweet sauce. The veggie gyoza from Ramen Shoten could have come with a dipping sauce and more flavors inside. Ouro Pizzaria had a lot of unique pizza combinations with only a few vegan and vegetarian flavor profiles (cheese and tomato). The Cinco Qeuijos tasted like a fresh, rich garlic bread and had a heavier, greasier taste. The margherita was really fresh and delicious, a little lighter than the other pizza. The cheese curds and fried pickles from Bebe zito were a little doughy but was a nice snack. I was super surprised by the Gochujang brownie ice cream: it tasted sweet and then came with a heat- packed after taste. I loved it but it's certainly not for someone who has a low spice tolerance. What I would come to ESC for would be the environment. It was lively and fun with beautiful lighting. The upper floor was well-designed with decorative plants and lots of seating. I'd come here again especially in a larger party where you can share a little bit of everything!

Visited the space on a Friday afternoon to accomplish some remote work. The space was perfect. Great energy/vibes- while still being the perfect balance to knock some work out. Staff was friendly. Food was great. Ordering was super easy. The design of the space is very pleasing. If I lived locally, I would totally make this a weekly WFH location.

This food hall is absolutely stunning with such a diverse array of food options! They offer sushi, burgers, pizza, boba, ice cream, ramen and more. The space is industrial yet cozy and there are tables on the first and second level. They also have a space available to book for private events! For the food, everything I've tasted so far have been amazing. They also make it convenient to order from the kiosks available or at the separate counters. I absolutely love that there is something for everyone in this space and how creative the food and drinks are. There is also a wine wall with all bottles priced at $25, perfect for sharing with your group! Parking can be tough around the area but you can opt for their valet service as well. There is also a patio area that I can't wait to visit in the summer!

Fun place! We didn't get a chance to have any food as we were meeting friends. However, the boba tea was excellent and not super expensive. Service was fast for us and seemed to be quick for our friends. They order pizza and it was ready quickly. The ambiance in this place is super unique and cool. There was a bachelorette party happening and they had plenty of cool places for photos. The hang out areas were nice with plenty of seating. I can't remember what time we were there but it wasn't too busy. Overall, super cool! Would go again!

Parking was difficult to find. Hoping they'll open up a lot. There's valet parking and limited street parking nearby if you're lucky. Otherwise, you may have to park blocks down and stroll to Eat Street Crossing. Beautiful wood smoke bonfires outdoor, I can't imagine how nice the atmosphere would be in the summer. Other than parking, there are plenty of small and larger tables seatings all around and upstairs. Beautiful greeneries (palm trees), lightings and just a cozy space to gather with friends and be social. The day I went was extremely crowded due to it being newly opened. Line wasn't terrible. There are kiosks and you can order up front. There's an upstairs seating area, pretty cozy but looks a little crowded. It was packed so we didn't say upstairs. Had the Lox in translation sando, consists of smoked salmon, cream cheese and pickled cucumber in a folded rice sushi wrap. It was pretty bomb! The honey butter Sammie was also sweet and tender. Reminds me of Revival's chicken. I wasn't a fan of the Bebe fries, it was a little soggy for me. Bebe Zito had a nice selection of flavors! I went for the Gochujang Brownie. It's a chocolate flavor with bits of brownie and chili flakes. I'd say the taste was balanced nicely between sweet with a nice kick of spice with each bite. As a person who loves spicy, the spice ratio to sweetness was good. Overall, I'd come back during summer to try the other food. There was boba, ramen and pizza as well!

Heard cool things about this new food hall and I must say the vibes are pretty awesome in terms of a hangout spot with multiple food options. I think that's the main seller of these new food hall ideas but it also comes at a cost of a 6% hospitality fee on all orders :/ I still wanted to try the sushi sandwich and for around $13, I'd say it's pretty low value. The sandwich was really tiny and to be honest I don't think fish slices are meant to be in a sandwich since things kept falling out and not hold in one bite. We also ordered from the Brazilian pizza place and while the prices were high, the pizza was pretty interesting as the crust seemed to have some sort of curry in there and overall that was a fun new item to try. Not sure if I'd come back again on my own choice, but it's still a neat concept and their cocktail bar definitely looked yummy as something to try for another time.

My wife and I tried the new Eat Street Crossing on a Sunday late afternoon after hearing initial reviews. We got there and immediately there's very little parking except on-street. They have a sign for $5 valet parking but no attendant was there. Luckily a space opened up across the street. There looks like 6-7 food vendors and a big bar on site inside the building. Decent food choices between sushi, pizza, burger/chicken sandwich, ice cream, and ramen. She went with sushi and I went chicken sandwich & fries. My wife liked her rolls and this crunchy sandwich, and I enjoyed my buttermilk crusted chicken sandwich. The fries were ok...nothing great. It's all a little pricey but what isn't when eating out anymore. I will note you are charged 6% on your order to help the non-tip worker staff. There are not that many tables to service all those vendors although they do have chairs and fire pits in the courtyard. Beware, it wasn't crazy busy on Sunday afternoon but we still had to wait a bit to get a table. There are attendants that pick up your food baskets when you're done and cleans tables right after you leave.

The food halls that we have been blessed with is amazing! Especially when you have different tastes. We stopped here one night for dinner. The street parking was a bit challenging but there was a sign to park at the car wash (which appears abandoned). There are a few different spots including a spot for sushi, pizza, bebe zito, ramen plus next door there is a liquor store with a impressive selection. We opted to get a pizza and burger to share. The pizza was surprisingly fantastic. It had a unique flavor, slightly sweet, but the crust was masa and it won me over. The burger was fine. I had always heard bebe zitos burgers were life changing, but it didn't stand out to me. The way you order is a kiosk and you have to go to a different kiosk per eatery. It would be awesome if you could have all the items be on one transaction. The night was perfect for weather so we sat outside on the patio and it was a great night.

4.5/5 - I was so excited try out one of the newer food halls in the cities, so when some friends suggested meeting here for dinner I couldn't wait. We visited on a Friday night and it was BUSY, there were pretty much no tables packed so unless you wanted a "standing room only" experience people were mulling around waiting for spots to open up. Be warned, parking is also super hard to find, but valet is available for $5 before tip and you can pay via Venmo. We ended up splitting a high top cocktail table among 8 of us. That aside, the food was delicious! Most of us got the ramen. I ordered the red phoenix which was delicious! We all also got boba from chatime which we all loved. Definitely a pricier place, but fun for the experience and selection of food!
