LIC Food Hall

I liked the pho there -- not out of the world but does the job. All the staffs are really nice albeit not really good at speaking English, if at all (I guess that's what you get for having affordable, authentic food 🤌). I also tried the sugary flatbread that everyone around me was having -- didn't disappoint but it just took forever like 20 minutes. Opening hours 11am-9pm. To dine in, I recommend coming in at off peak hours. It started getting crazy crowded at 5:30pm, and the place is quite narrow so might be hard to walk around and get a seat.

There is a variety of food stalls, bubble tea and a blind box vending machine in the back. There is limited seating in the main floor but when you go downstairs there is more seating. It is first come first serve. Many Vendors have a kiosk machine to order quickly. During the soft opening there were a couple of stands that offer raffle prizes. I love the neon light signs and vibe of the whole space. The staff at the onigiri stand are very friendly and nice. The cozy tea stand was fast with the order, I am glad I can enjoy this tea spot in Queens now (use to have to drive to Jersey to have some). The food portion is not bad and pretty tasty

Checked out the LIC Food Hall and grabbed dinner at Guagua — their skewers were yummy, flavorful, and felt pretty healthy too! Overall, the food hall has a ton of great Asian food options and I’m excited to come back to try more spots. Great vibes and variety!

Pros: Love the new fast casual Asian food options in LIC! Hunan Noodle offers a tasty steamed pork ribs and farmhouse pork noodles. Ten Seconds golden sliced beef noodles are solid. Duomi yogurt closed in Flushing so this new location is great! Cons: the space itself is tight so it’s hard to offer crowd/line control. Here at 2pm on a Saturday so it wasn’t too busy. Main space has minimal seating. Most of the tables are downstairs. Some booths had a skeleton staff, so you have to order from the kiosk. For the wheelchair users: there is a single stall accessible restroom on the ground/main level.

Great food hall with lots of choices! AC is sooo nice in the summer and overall very clean atmosphere. They also have a blind box vending machine with real Labubus in the back so they already win in my book!

Here on grand opening day to see some of my favorite Flushing stores: Hunan Noodle and Duomi Yogurt Drinks. Hope Hunan Noodle will serve more of their extensive menu from Flushing location. My fave things to order are: 辣椒炒肉米粉but with flat noodles and purple rice yogurt drink with mango or strawberry. I also tried Ten Seconds Yunnan Noodles 金汤肥牛. Decent amount of fatty beef slices, tofu skin, and fried tofu. Not much veggie.

I got beef noodles from hunan noodle - barely any beef btw and the very thinly sliced type. Not much flavor. Would not recommend. I also got lu rou fan and stinky tofu from Taipei hang. Lu Rou fan barely had any meat but I guess it’s cheap so not too disappointing. The stinky tofu on the hand …wasn’t stinky at all or tasted like stinky tofu. It looked completely different from their pictures ..there were no pickled radishes or anything. Quite disappointing. Not sure if I’d return given that everything was below my expectation.

Clean food hall, good number of options. Convenient spot to grab a quick bite during your lunch break or on the weekend.

NYC's newest food hall: 10 specially curated Asian vendors in a hallway-like space, with additional seating and bathrooms in the basement (can fit maybe another 30ish people). I went during soft opening and first tried 3 places: Cozy Tea Loft, Taipei Hang and U Ni Rice. Easy to order overall: You order to pay at the vendor, and they will call out your number. Do pay attention when they call you or don't step away too far. I'd say the only downside so far is that starting around 530 PM or so the place is likely to get packed, therefore would be hard to find a seat to sit down and eat. It may not be suitable for larger groups at rush hours. Hope the place sticks around! Follow @inquisitive_eating for more details.

LIC Food Hall has a good handful of vendors on site, offering various eats - Marathon Hong Kong Diner (Hong Kong eats), Pho Vital (Vietnamese), Hunan Noodle (Nanchang and Hunan noodle dishes), Gua Gua (bo bo chicken), Taipei Hang (spicy hot pot), U Ni Rice (onigiris), Shimiaodao (Yunnan cuisine), Fat Cat Flatbread (guokui), Duomi Rice Yogurt House, and Cozy Tea Loft. We stopped by various places and ordered: +Marathon Hong Kong Dinner - the HK French Toast (with peanut butter, syrup, and condensed milk) +Gua Gua - you choose between the traditional spicy flavor or the number flavor; we went for the traditional; we tried the beef, fat beef slices, and shrimp +Fat Cat Flatbread - I was excited for this vendor, due to the name and the cute design! We went for the savory - the Curry Beef and the Black Pepper Beef flatbreads +U Ni Rice - love that they had value combos, which allows you to choose your 'flavor', a drink, and a side; we went for the Okinawa Classic, the Kimchi Beef, the Truffle Mushroom, the Crispy Chicken Peanut Butter, the Creamy Lobster, and the Fried Fish Tartar Sauce; for our sides, we went for the curry croquette, the honey mustard fries, the mentaiko fries, the fried oysters, and the fried karaage chicken, served with honey mustard and mayo; honey lemonade, lemon black tea, and matcha latte were the beverages - you could also get miso soup instead; I'd like to try their Butter & Garlic Shrimp Plate next time! Staff were pretty efficient, and you just wait until you get your order called; ordering is super easy, as there are kiosks or you can go directly to the vendor and place orders in-person. Note that the space is super narrow, and there's only a limited seating on the main floor; if you make your way downstairs, there's additional tables. +various vendors +kiosk ordering available +additional seating downstairs
