LIC Food Hall

I was really excited about this food hall, until I tried the food... What disappointed me the most, was that the extremely hot noodle soup was served in the toxic black container. Note that this is a dine-in, not a take out. I asked the server if there is any bowl available. She said sorry, no, the plastic container is convenient. Yeah, what about people's health? I have to suffer from taking in toxic chemicals because I crave for this. I won't come back to this low effort for making food.

The food was ok. It was not expensive but it reflects in the quality and the quantity as well. For reference, I got stinky tofu, lu rou fan and beef noodles from two separate stalls. The stinky tofu looked nothing like the photos and tasted nothing like the traditional ones at all. Luroufan was not bad but it was very small and the beef noodles barely had any beef. The beef was also bad quality and thinly cut…the broth didn’t have much flavor.

LIC finally has its own proper Asian food hall! Yes it's on the smaller side (10 stalls) but the food is excellent for the price. Can't wait to come back when they've trouble-shooted the sitting situation.

Place is very small with not too many options. Parking is very hard to find. Basement has seating but no WiFi and no signal on any phones. Not a bad place if you live in the area but hard to justify travelling from afar.

Before anything, the best stalls are the Mala dry hotpot stall, and the Fat cat flat bread stall, with runners up being the marathon hongkong cafe. Everything else is pretty mid. The flatbread is a must try! It's literally a crispy baked paper thin flatbread that somehow even has meat in it! (Or whatever you want) and the mala dry hotpot place is also really good!

Lots of food options here! I decided to go with the Marathon Hong Kong Diner and got the crispy pork cutlet. Portions are huge and super worth it!

The newly food court in LIC. It has about 10 Asian food shops inside. There are good selection of rice, drinks and noodles. And the price is reasonable. Beside the main floor, there are big seating room in the basement which is clean, comfortable and cool vibe as well.

all the food we had was not flavorful. the flatbread didn’t have a lot of meat (and dry), the pho didn’t have any of the aromatics (just boiled chicken breast and boiled chicken water with rice noodles), the tea at Cozy Tea was bland (no tea flavor) and the tapioca was hard. beautiful space though! they could lower the music at the lower area a bit since it’s small and people had to yell to listen to each other over the music

Great selection but very small dining area. Food is good Need to come early Worth a try

New Asian Food Hall with a good mix of Asian cuisines. You walk in and you are in a sanitary looking, minimalist decor. On the first floor are the different restaurant stalls. Downstairs has good amount of seating areas for 2, 4 or large groups. You then order the food, wait to pick up then get seating. There's a fair amount of variety from Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Hunan, Schezchuan, Cozy Tea & Yogurt Drink. I recommend most of the Taiwanese dishes from Tai Hung, try one of the flatbread, or onigiri. The only thing I would say I was not a big fan was the meat & vegetable skewers. They are pre-cooked, are cold and when you order, the staff dip the skewers into the sauce and put them in a cup. Not a big fan that it was cold.

Good selection of vendors and lots of seating! It wasn't crowded on a weekday evening, but heard it can get packed on weekends. There's no service on the lower floor, would love it if they had wifi!

I've been waiting for this food hall to open for a while! There's several vendors with different types of Asian cuisine inside, so you are bound to find a place suited for every taste. There is some seating upstairs, but the majority of the seating area is downstairs. I went during soft opening, so it was pretty packed, but the crowds have definitely died down. Some places are still offering a free drink with purchase as part of the launch, so it's worth checking out!

I like this food hall because it has about 10 vendors to choose from. They also have tables and seatings on the lower level. It does get filled up during prime eating time, but the turnover is quick. I was able to get a table when I wanted to sit and eat, although sometimes that means sharing a table. My fav vendors and dishes at the food hall so far are: Taipei Hang's chicken leg (braised or fried) over rice, Ten Second Noodles/Shimiaodao and Fat Cat Flatbread. All very yummy, especially the flatbreads when you're looking for a quick snack. It's more convenient than going to Flushing.

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.

The LIC Foodhall offers a nice variety of Asian inspired foods. You'll find options like boba, specialty teas, pho, and more. There's plenty of seating available, with tables both upstairs and additional seating in the basement. It's a convenient spot to grab a quick bite or relax with friends over non-alcoholic drinks and light meals to heavy meals.

The location is good and they have a great selection of food options which being back the nostalgia of HK or the deliciousness of some good Pho. For the price you do also get your money's worth. That being said, the hong Kong pasta with ham and egg and beef was a LOT - I wish I had less but more delicious pasta - the portions felt very quantity-focused when I'm all about the taste/quality. The service is fine - they take an average amount of time to make food. Also the place is narrow and the seating setup is a little weird - there are a few tables downstairs and upstairs which is probably sufficient most of the time. I felt like one more food booth could have fit in the basement to make the first floor less cluttered - ex. The boba place would fit downstairs so when people finish their meals they get dessert there. That being said, it's a place I'll definitely come back to and I'm excited to try their other foods!

Cute Asian food hall with tons of options in a small space (skewers, boba, Taiwanese hot pot and bento, street snacks, Vietnamese food, and more)! For such a narrow space, it still has a decent amount of seating with extra tables and more bathrooms downstairs.

Another food hall addition to the Long Island city area besides JACX&Co (literally around the corner). This place however, seems to be a bit more affordable. All the food hall stalls are occupied and there were a range of cuisines like Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese and types of food (savory and sweet). I stopped by during their grand opening and managed to get a free magnet. There's seating on both the first and basement floor.

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
