Novo Asian Food Hall

Novo Asian Food Hall is such a gem in Pittsburgh! I’ve tried the bubble tea, cream-filled beignets, sushi, and Korean food, and everything has always been fresh and delicious. The space itself is clean, modern, and has such a unique vibe—it’s the perfect spot to grab food with friends or just enjoy something different. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great variety of flavors all in one place!

I had the bibimbap with added beef from Korea Garden — it was excellent. The cold veggies paired perfectly with the tender beef, which made it easy to get a little bit of everything in most bites. It came with kimchi and sriracha on the side. My only suggestion: it would’ve been even better with an over-easy egg on top. I also tried the taro milk boba tea from Teachana — super smooth and flavorful. Definitely worth a stop. Service was very quick, and the setup is cafeteria-style with a central bar and anime playing on the TVs. Great vibes all around!

Novo Asian Hall is my favorite place for a lunch date this year! Each station has a unique menu. I highly recommend trying something different from each station the first time you go! From fried foods to raw fish, there is a meal for everyone here! Once you order your food, you are given a buzzer that will go off when your order is ready. And if you're like me, you will be so very thankful that they label each restaurant's buzzer with their photo! A girl's gotta have variety in her life and I refuse to settle for just one station! There are plenty of seating options both indoors and out -> suitable for group sizes. Free water is provided as well as individual plastic cutlery and chopsticks. A food court feel with an Asian twist!

Food is always consistent. Sushi is good and not very expensive. Gets very busy on weekends but is very quiet and slow during the week. They have about 5/6 different places to choose from. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff.

I should have written this review when I remembered what dishes we ate here. It's an order online or in-person kind of thing. Our food came out promptly and was very hot and everything tasted fresh. You can sit at the bar, I'm not sure what they have on tap, or sit at one of their many dining tables that are cleaned right after someone leaves. There is something for everyone here.

Always a top choice for when you are craving Asian but can't decide what kind of Asian food you want. Novo has Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean. It's nice to have the option of getting something at each restaurant! Atmosphere is friendly and open to all. Very inclusive!

tan lac vien was okay. Traditional banh mi for 16 dollars was lack luster. It was very small. sumi’s cakery was amazing. The mango bingsu was the perfect amount of sweetness. Perfect for a hot summer day. 14 dollars for a huge for two people to share. All the pastries and bread looked delicious. I can’t wait to come back to try the rest of the menu and the other places in the strip! They also have a two pop mart robo machines that apparently gets restocked every Sunday morning.

This is one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh because you can find super unique dishes. The prices are certainly up there, but at the same time, this is homemade Asian food from local vendors and families. With food prices soaring, I don’t think they are much higher than an Asian restaurant in town. I highly recommend! Top recommendations Dumplings and bulgogi from Korea Garden Bingsu from Sumi’s Cakery (every flavor) Miso salmon and hijiki salad from Mola Bahn Mi from Tan Iac Vien

Located in the middle of the strip, this is a great spot for groups who have differing taste buds to be able to dine together, as you can order at any of the restaurants and then find seating together. The interior is nicely decorated and there is ample seating indoors and even a little bit of seating outdoors. I thought it was a nice touch to have pitchers of water and cups along with the utensils and napkins. I ordered the Japanese curry rice at Mola, which consisted of potatoes, carrots, and chicken breast slowly simmered in a Japanese curry sauce. It was served with a side of white rice, and my meal also came with a side of my choosing, and I chose miso soup. Since I was dining in, they gave me a pager, which was nice because I could sit at my table until my pager buzzed. The meal was delicious and very filling (a large portion size). I'd highly recommend you make a visit to Novo Asian Food Hall!

This place is smack dab in the middle of the Strip. Busy area especially on the weekends. There is parking in the back that is paid. I believe its $8 for the first two hours. We parked here, head to Primanti Bros and then here for bubble tea and some fried chicken. This place has plenty of seating, a bar in the middle, lots of options for food. I just did not think the food was worth it for the price. Love the location as it was a great way of walking from one side of the Strip to the other side (parking). The bubble tea place has these cups that was really thick plastic and we actually kept using it again and again during the weekend. I thought the cup was worth the price - on top of the tea of course. The place is quite loud as you would expect a food hall to be and the walkways can be a bit narrow if it is busy or if a lot of people are waiting for their food at the same time.

A fun spot I check out pretty often when I'm in the strip! A lot of cool vendors to choose from inside. Theres a ramen/boba stop, Korean bakery AND Korean street food stall, Chinese fried chicken + other small Asian apps, Vietnamese, and Japanese with sushi! In addition to the bar in the middle, this is an awesome place. It's nice to be able to get a little bit of everything because you would never be able to order pho with sushi rolls and kimbap anywhere else. I noticed this past visit that the Filipino stall is gone :( I loved their food so sad to see them leave but hopefully another place will take its spot soon!

Great Food hall! I was very sad Lolos closed but the options are still amazing! Mola has so many options for sushi the salmon poke bowl and blue crab roll were the stand outs! Korean gardens kimchi pancakes hit it out of the park on this cold night!

If you're looking for a variety of Asian foods, this is the place to go. I ordered from Tan Lac Vien. Was very pleased with both meals, everything appeared to be made to order with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend them.

Love Novo!! Each little spot inside has its own menu and pager system so you can easily order from as many as you want! It also makes it easy for a group meet up because everyone can order and pay separately if need be. We tried chicken dumplings and chicken cutlet from one spot, got tea at a different spot, and grabbed an Oreo beinget for dessert from a third spot. Everything was so fresh and tasty. There's plenty of seating, water available self serve, and the vibe is so cool.

Recently got Mola takeout and it was delicious as always! My order was ready in less than five minutes. I had the shrimp tempura roll and California roll. Love this sushi spot!

First time there this week. Went right around 4pm to check it out. All but 1 of the food places was open. It was nice because it was not as busy yet and I found a table in a corner to hangout at. I ordered from Mola and Tan Lac Vien. Mola I ordered 2 rolls; their crab roll and yellowfish roasted jalapeno roll. I loooooved their crab roll, it was different than other crab rolls I've had in the past. The crab filling was much more creamy. At Tan Lac Vien I ordered cheese wantons. They look a lot different from normal cheese wantons but they taste really good.

We opted for sandwiches and spring rolls from Tan Lac Vien on our latest trip to Novo Asian Food Hall. I was really impressed by the vegetarian pork belly bahn me, especially because I've never knowingly eaten omnivorian pork belly. I don't know what the crispy no-meat strips were made of but they were tasty! My friend had the lemongrass tofu bahn me and she was very pleased. I also had the fresh spring rolls with tofu, which was a good thing since the sandwich wasn't particularly filling. I still think I have found my go-to spot when I have a hankering for bahn mi!

What a great addition to Pittsburgh!! I love what they've done with the Terminal Market space and this food hall is a gem in the city!! There is plenty of space, so many great options to choose from, and outdoor seating on a beautiful pittsburgh day! Love. Love. Love.

After watching so many Korean shows on Netflix I was eager to expand my food explorations beyond Bibimbap. Wandering into Novo, I examined the menus until I wondered across Yook gae Jang on the menu. I only waited a few moments before it was time to pick up this delicious beef stew. Perfectly tender beef, slurpable noodles, and a rich spicy broth made this dish a winner for me! The food hall itself is a little busy and loud, but worth braving for food like this.

Easy to find - and walking distance from the convention center. Novo Asian Food Hall features a wide array of vendors and restaurants. When I traveled, a few of the shops were closed, so I opted for chicken pho. The pho was good but not stand out ish. Prices were fair.

Cool place to hang out with a group of people! They have a bar for drinks. Lots of Asian food from Vietnamese to Korean, Chinese and even Filipino cuisine. Also a bakery with baked goods! They have a boba drink places as well! The service is average nothing spectacular! We did go on a Friday night and it was packed. I waited to order a second drink and no bartender came over so I gave up and just didn't get another drink. The food is over priced and mediocre but it's a cool place to get all your Asian craving fix and a drink.

There is many options of food which is good to have but I feel they are overpriced for the quantity and quality. Place is very nice and modern I was excited to try it. I did have a good time there and service was good but food was not what I expected . I feel this place is more on looks than the food itself I was excited to introduce my sister to Filipino food and I was very disappointed on what we tried

I have been wanting to stop in here for a while and finally did yesterday (a Saturday around 12pm). For it being lunch time, there were a lot of people but not packed by any means. There is a large selection of food vendors and plenty of seating. I chose Molo and ordered the shrimp tempura with avocado and cucumber. It was good! I would order it again. There is a water cooler and cups in the middle of the seating area for drinks. The bathrooms were very clean for this being a public space with a lot of people. It was a pleasant experience here and I can't wait to come back to try one of the other vendors.

I've heard this place can get very very busy but we got lucky on a gloomy Saturday afternoon and found seats. I tried the meatballs (Bola Bola) at Lolo's which were great and reasonably priced. I also tried an espresso martini from the bar, it wasn't the best I've ever had but it was quite good and garnished with orange zest. My friend had sushi from Mola which also looked very good. For the size of Novo, I think there's a good amount of options making this a great place to try multiple things or come with a small group.

Got sushi from Mola and cocktails! Very good and fast! The the crispy spicy tuna roll was INCREDIBLE and spicy, loved the crunch! Would def go back!

Stopped by here on a Friday evening. It's a food hall so there were plenty of options to choose from. I ended up getting food from one of the restaurants in the back corner (sadly I cannot remember the name of it). I ordered dumplings and a honey chicken rice plate. I was given a buzzer to alert me when my order was ready. There was plenty of seating as well as water stations in multiple locations in the hall. The food hall was very clean and the staff was friendly. I enjoyed my food but it wasn't what I expected. I will definitely be back as I love Asian cuisine and there were so many options that I want to try the others. It's conveniently located at "the terminal" in the strip district so there are other things to do before or after you stop here for food.

I will be very excited to come back when all the vendors are open. We came on a Monday night and Lolo's, Sumi's, and Kung Fu Chicken were closed. (I will be back for the lumpia I was denied, Lolo's!) What we had was great--sushi from Mola was fresh and of really good quality. Veggie tempura and jasmine teas (iced and hot) from Teachana were also good. The tempura was hot and light and crispy and not at all greasy, with squash, broccoli, onion and maybe lotus root? Not sure--there was a starchy vegetable in there I couldn't place. Wonton/bokchoy/pork noodle soup from Tan Lac Vien was good, though I would have preferred a saltier broth-- the wontons were flavorful, the bokchoy crispy, and the noodles were not mushy and overcooked (and there were lots of them). They were perfect, really, and the soup came with the typical pho toppers on the side. We also had their cream cheese wontons (happy hour special) - no crab, but crispy and not greasy, and some fried chicken dumplings, which were flavorful, with thin, crispy skins that were not at all stodgy or gummy. Everything we had made us want to come back soon to try Korea Garden and the vendors that were closed. The pager system worked well and overall the place felt more "organized" and less chaotic than Federal Galley or the old Smallman Galley. Waits for our food were reasonable and even though we ordered from three different places, it all came out pretty close together, so no one was left waiting to eat.

Korean garden kimchi pancake - kimchi pancake with zucchini, scallion, kimchi Sumi cakery - whipped cream donut with raspberry Lychee martini

There were so many different food options here. It was quite busy in all the different shops. I went to the Philippino food shop (Lolo's) and got the Sinigong fries($7) and the food was made in about 10mins. The fries were fresh and the sinigong sauce was amazing! It was salty and sour which I loved. Seats were a bit hard to find but due to the nature of the food hall people coming in an out relatively quickly. Overall a very cool area for various Asian cuisines. Food(50%): 8.3 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.4/10

Lots of options and seating! It was hard to pick because all the cuisines looked so good. I ended up getting Pho which was very large and filling, a cream beignet from Sumi's cakery, milk tea from Teachana, and sushi from Mola. The restaurants give you a buzzer so you can wait at the seating area. There is also a water station with filled bottles for convenience. The bathrooms were in the back and were clean. There is paid parking.

Been a few times. At first it's a cool novelty experience. Especially with the bar in the middle, and a selection of various Asian counters to choose from surrounding it. But I gotta say the food is just kind of so-so. That said, it's a great meet up spot. And they've really done a great job revitalizing that part of town. I just hope the food gets better. It's not offensive but there's nothing I'd have to return for. It's a step above a typical food court to be sure, but IMHO didn't live up to some of the hype.

Great place to stop on the strip and get some food and drinks. I had salmon sashimi at one restaurant (Mola), while others in my group bought food at other places within the food court. There is a full bar in the middle of the court and the astute bar tender made me a Bloody Mary from Korean chili paste (kimchi). Not bad. The hall was clean and the bathrooms were clean. There is a bakery-yum!

We had a wonderful lunch here today! Lines were short and there was plenty of seating at noon on a Saturday. There were a lot of high chairs available, pre-filled glass jugs of water you could take to your table, and staff was cleaning the seating area continuously. We ordered food from 3 different stalls and everything was excellent - though a bit pricy. Our food came out quickly at all locations and portions were satisfying if not generous. It was fun to see so many families hanging out; there was a really cheerful vibe here! We'll definitely be back and can't wait to try more things!

I loved Novo so much that I visited 3 days during my 5-day stay in Pittsburgh. Outstanding variety so it's easy to please a group or various cravings, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and sushi was the highlight! The staff were so welcoming and quick to give info on the selections and wait time (they give you a buzzer after ordering). It's easy to get dishes from multiple restaurants (one day I got sushi and Vietnamese, another day I got sushi and boba). The sushi rolls are substantial and crave-worthy. I truly have no complaints and would recommend with no reservations- keep it up!

It's always so busy, but for good reason! This is perfect for groups. Every goes and picks out their preferred vendor, gets their food and then there are plenty of seating options! The food was great, there's such a large variety to choose from!

Really enjoyed my first experience here! I got my food from tan lac vien - Vietnamese bistro, and it was delicious. A fun and upscale take on pork fried rice. A fresh salad on the side, white rice with an egg on top, and delicious and well seasoned pieces of pork on the side. We went around 8 and there was plenty of open seating. Would definitely go back and try some of the other businesses! Right in the strip district with large convenient parking lot in the back.

I'm a simple man. You say food hall, I'm there. Asian food hall? Well this might actually be heaven! Novo Asian food hall are the new kids on the block, or really the Strip. It's a wonderful concept, with a wide selection of all the favorites like sushi, boa's, boba, ramen, poke, banh mi, and desserts. Seriously, this might be might paradise, at least from a concept standpoint. The space is vast and beautifully decorated, bright colorful. It's a vibe, even if you're just passing through. Now as far as the food, I'll admit it did fall short. My standards are pretty high. Asian food is easily one of my fav cuisines and I've had some of the best Asian food this country has to offer. The chicken pops from kung fu chicken lacked in seasoning and so did the lobster boa from Mola. The brown sugar milk tea from teachana was most disappointing. Brown sugar milk tea should have the syrup on the bottom and drizzled on the cup wall, not completely blended in. This changes the flavor profile altogether. With that being said, I very much appreciate the effort and ideas behind Novo. Easily one of the most beautifully layed out food halls I've seen. Despite the food falling a little short for me personally on this trip, I'm sure I'll find my way back to give the other vendors a try. I can't help. They had me at Asian food hall!

We came back again. Tried to reserve a dinner but could not find any available reservation. It was a Pirates game day. So we went to the Novo Asian Food Hall. We were able to grab a table and get the food fast. The environment is very clean despite there are many people. The Korean spicy kimchi cake is my favorite. The milk tea is also surprisingly good!

I love the ambiance of this place, very much an experience. It's right in the strip so it's surrounded by other restaurants and activities, and it still manages to stand out. Love the variety of food it offers and I especially love the bubble tea place! They have Mola inside which is obviously very good though my heart still belongs to sushi fuku

What a delight! I've been wanting to visit, and it exceeded my expectations! Asian fare is some of my fav, so having multiple options within feet of one another and me I found very exciting. Visually, it is nice, airy, and colorful, and clean. I stopped by Mola first and staff helped me get oriented on what all was offered not only at their place but at others in the dining hall, as well. I did want sushi, so ordered a sushi box of assorted items. It hit the spot just right. Then, I wandered over to Sumi's Cakery, and I got a huge piece of strawberry cake. I waited til I got home for that one. Oh, was it perfect! I truly like the dining hall concept of selecting from multiple venues then dining at a table, eating from all of them at once. Prices were reasonable. Staff were pleasant. I do want to revisit over and over again!

On a Saturday evening, it was busy but still enough tables and good service! I love a good food hall. Novo is a great addition to the terminal! I had spicy tuna from Mola and spring rolls from Tan Lac Vein. Both were knowledgeable of gluten and nut allergens! Mola has GF tamari packets. The sweet person at Tan Lac Vein even made me GF dipping sauce for the spring rolls.

Interesting change. One person in our group was ordering a red wine, the options not great but, bartender said it is cold and kept in the cool. We had a couple of the Maki Rolls from Mola, the blue crab was mostly filler and just OK. Also had a fried rice with chicken that was terrible, dry over cooked chicken if you could find any chicken. Not sure which vendor the fried rice was purchased from. With so many options in the neighbourhood just go elsewhere.

Okay. I love the concept here. Multiple Asian restaurants, multiple types of cuisine. Upon entering, I feasted my eyes upon at least six different food offerings. I started off with some boba milk tea, which was delicious. I walked around and then decided to request some Korean food. So we went with potstickers, noodles, kimchi potato cakes, and kimchi fried rice. We got some pho from another stand as well. All the food was very tasty. I loved the variety. The kimchi pancakes were very tasty and the potstickers were excellent. The kimchi fried rice was decent. The pho was very good. I liked everything and when I visit Pittsburgh again, I'll consider dining here again. Awesome spot.

It was okay. Nothing to write home about. Rolls were a bit on the soggy side and fell apart when I picked it up with my chopsticks. Ended up eating it with my hands.

Novo Asian Hall has become my favorite lunch date spot this year. Each station offers its own unique menu, so I recommend trying something different from each one on your first visit. From fried foods to fresh raw fish, there's truly something for everyone. Once you order, you'll get a buzzer that goes off when your food is ready, and I love that each one is labeled with the restaurant's photo to avoid any mix-ups. The variety makes it hard to choose just one station, which is part of the fun. There are plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors, perfect for groups of any size. They provide free water, plastic cutlery, and chopsticks. It has the feel of a food court with a flavorful Asian twist.

Tan Lac Vien's special bowl with rice noodles, chilled lettuce and crunchy carrots and mild radish, peanuts, hot savory roasted pork and grilled shrimp is the perfect lunch, when topped with the sauce (like a dressing) that is tangy, sweet and savory in one bite. Delicious! Excellent with the Vietnamese lemonade. Korea Garden's spicy pork with perfect rice was just the right amount of heat and sauce. , especially with a Hitachino Nest White Ale. Not hoppy, very refreshing.

I love this spot!! I've been here 4-5 times now and every visit is great. I love Mola so that is probably my favorite spot in the food hall, but I also like the ramen restaurant, Sumi's bakery, and the pho spot. All of the food is consistently good. There is always a place to sit, the bar has some great cocktails, the space is spacious and easy to navigate. Clean space, fun atmosphere, good selection/variety of food, etc. Pittsburgh really needs more food halls!

What an interesting concept... a food hall, housed with a handful of different Asian businesses. This is a horrible review because I can't remember the location I chose for my meal.. but everything looked amazing here! There was a little for everyone. The bar cocktail I ordered was phenomenal! Parking is tricky... paid parking.

The place to go for fresh ideas at lunchtime or dinner if you are tired of burgers, chicken, or pizza. Asian food and drink stations surround an oversized bar positioned right in the center of all of the action. Parking options consist of street parking or there are several public lots nearby. Parking violations are enforced, so make sure you allow enough time on your meter to enjoy everything the Strip has to offer.

Amazing!! Like a mini Asian Mercado. Stopped by King Fu Chicken for fried milk and a Korean corn dog, and Korea Garden for a kimchi pancake. Everything was fantastic and the service was friendly and very quick, especially given that it was dinner time on a Friday.

This place is absolutely amazing. I went on a busy Sunday in the Strip and at first it was giving overstimulated but then I browsed everything because I needed to make an informed decisions. This is a food court that feels like you're in Asian food heaven. There's ramen, sushi, sweets and so much more. I went with Mola and got a quick sushi. I was in a hurry so I selected one at random and it was delish. I also grabbed a bento box from Korea Garden and it was delish. The hall was so packed that the only seating available inside was at the bar so me and my boyfriend ate outside which wasn't bad because it was loud inside and we didn't mind. The sushi was filling and the bento box was flavorful.

Nova Asian Food Hall is a cool concept in the Strip District. Just about any type of asian cuisine you can think of is located in the hall. It was pretty packed on a Friday night. We walked around to check out all the spots before deciding what to order. We were not ready for dinner but picked up tea from Teachana and baked goods from Sumi's Cakery. There were public restrooms available and some seating plus a full bar in the middle. One restaurant had the largest chicken sandwich I'd ever seen. You can also find sushi and many other options. Stop in an and check it out!

OK this food hall is SO great! I had heard about it from my colleague and as it was down the street from my hotel on a recent stay, I decided to check it out. I enjoyed this spot so much that I came twice in my 3 day trip to PGH. Both times I ordered food from Mola - a girl cannot resist sushi. Both my sushi platter and my salmon chirashi were absolutely delish and so fresh. I sat at the bar my first visit and enjoyed a $5 sake on happy hour. Their happy hour is pretty lit, and all the restaurants have snacks on happy hour also which I thought was awesome. They have a good variety of Asian eats here, and plenty of bar and table seating as well. I felt like pricing was very affordable and the staff was friendly. Would definitely suggest checking it out if you haven't been there yet!

This place has a bit of everything, a lot of stuff is fried and a bit overpriced for what you got but the sushi was on point! And you have to try each cuisine to see what you like. My daughter HAD to get a boba every time we went cause the boba tea/coffee place had so many options. If you're near the strip district, you should stop in!!

Still loving this place! Such a fun place with lots of options for everyone. We usually get their makgeolli on happy hour but saw that they have some new cocktails on their menu, and even a new fun cocktail menu book. I tried their Miami Rice cocktail, which is like a strawberry piña colada. I'm officially obsessed! It's dangerously good, I could have one every day. My boyfriend got the happy hour cocktail, Mothra on the Shore, which was a nice refreshing and light cocktail. Both had a beautiful presentation. Gracie was our bartender and she was great and so helpful!

Awesome addition to the Strip District! I was excited to visit Novo Asian Food Hall while visiting my hometown in February 2025. This food hall takes up a huge space in the Terminal building. There is a full bar with many Asian restaurants all under one roof. I was most excited to see my personal favorite sushi in Pittsburgh...Mola! My mom tried the Filipino restaurant after I hyped it up. She had never had Filipino before, but loved the adobo chicken. We both loved the calamansi tea too. I got the chirashi bowl from Mola with a side salad. It was easy for both of us to get our food and then find a table when it was ready. We just had water, but next time I would love to get a cocktail from the bar. We loved watching them craft the specialty drinks. The decor is fun and the colors are bright. Bathrooms are big and super clean. Awesome experience. If I still lived in Pittsburgh I would go here often!

Ooooh wee, finally got to check out the new Novo Asian Food Hall- and you KNOW we love a food hall here at GOUDS inc. As you all probably know by now, i'm a very indecisive eater. I want to try it all. I can never decide what I want to eat. So food halls me. You don't have to decide- you can try it all. @sumiscakery Teachana hitting with the most delicious bubble tea- y'all know I got Oreo milk tea with cheese foam @tan_lac_vien serving me the most scrumptious Honey Chicken on a stick in a rice bowl with egg. So so so so so GOUD. The chicken was some of the most flavorful chicken I've had in a loooong time and that glaze. Ooooh baby. I can't wait to go back for more. #GOUDapproved and i'm ready to go back for more. Tan Lac Vien 2 Grill Honey Chicken Stick with Egg $18 Teachana Oreo Milk Tea + Cheese Foam Large $5.45 + 0.99 for CF
