"Maydan Market isn’t your average food hall. This massive 10,000 square-foot complex comes from a famous DC chef and will feature a location of herlive-fire restaurantMaydan, as well as a revival of her small plates spot Compass Rose, which recently closed in DC. But we’re most looking forward to the LA restaurants opening new concepts in the market, including Yhing Yhang BBQ byHoly Basil, Lugya’h byPonchos Tlayudas, and Maléna byTamales Elena." - Cathy Park
"A multi-vendor market and food-hall-style destination from Rose Previte that will host a branch of Maydan alongside travel-influenced Compass Rose, LA Oaxacan specialist Poncho’s Tlayudas, and grill-focused Yhing Yhang; it will include a rotating stall called Club 104 and a stall called Maléna by Tamales Elena serving pozoles, banana-leaf tamales, and antojitos from the family behind a famed Watts food trailer, followed by rotating chef residencies including Melissa Cottingham, Meymuna Hussein-Cattan, and a scheduled visit from Nyesha Arrington in early 2026." - Matthew Kang
"A rotating stall within the new food hall that will host a series of short‑term operators: after the initial summer residency, a Memphis‑raised chef will serve biscuits, wings, and garlic noodles in September, a vendor from Flavors From Afar will take over in December, and a well‑known food television personality and chef will hold a residency in early 2026." - Matthew Kang
"A 10,000-square-foot West Adams emporium housing multiple stalls and diverse concepts, including a Michelin-starred chef’s Maydan stall (expect Syrian-spiced lamb shoulder, honey-soaked dates, spreads like hummus and muhammara, and signature hearth-fired flatbreads), a travel-themed Compass Rose operating more like an all-day cafe with a coffee bar, cocktail bar, breakfast and lunch at communal tables, an Oaxacan stall from Poncho’s Tlayudas where a central hearth will be used to prepare traditional tlayudas, and a Thai barbecue spot from Holy Basil’s chef called Yhing Yhang; with two more stalls to be announced, the market is designed to offer broad appeal." - Matthew Kang
"Nicole Adlman: "Maydan Market seems exciting (especially the addition of the new restaurant from Poncho’s Tlayudas having a home within it)." The mention frames the market as an anticipated multi‑tenant destination in West Adams, with specific excitement around a Poncho’s Tlayudas outpost anchoring part of that appeal." - Eater Staff
