We stopped here and had a lunch on our way to Anthony Chabot Park. A great place for a quick lunch. They have choice of poke bowl, ramen, milk tea and bibimaba(Korea style). Better than fast food.

Great concept. Love the Market Hall idea with multiple restaurants in one common space. Not a huge variety of options, but still good. Ate at Shumi Ramen, we got Vegetarian Ramen, fried purple sweet potatoes and agedashi tofu. All pretty good, but not amazing. Started with Devout coffee from the little shop out front which is open earlier than the Market opens. Devout Coffee is always a win, today was no different. Tried a couple new drinks: Eggnog latte and Espresso tonic - both interesting and tasty!

I loveee places like this that give you multiple options all in one -- it's kind of like a school cafeteria and a mall food court merged together, but WAYYY cleaner and cuter!They currently have six different shops set up with lots of varying food for you to try, and plenty of tables inside and out for you to grab a quick meal or hang for hours doing work. Can even buy alcoholic beverages and get a little tipsy with friends!Some of the tasty stuff you can find here is:Spicy pork burritosSweet Potato totsPoke bowlsPotato croquettesBlack garlic ramenCalamariPopcorn chickenEgg puffs50+ types of boba drinksCoffeeIce cream scoops and milkshakesDonut ice cream sandwichesAnd tonsss more!Parking can be a little tough as the lot is small and spaces tight, but there are extra spaces past the fence -- just don't bring your big trucks!I love visiting to mix and match up my meals with whoever I bring along, it's always a tasty and good time here!

I'm here at 2:00 p.m. on a weekday because the reviews said that this location is dog friendly. Unfortunately that's not true. If you are traveling by yourself with a dog, you cannot bring them into the interior of the market, which pretty much defeats the purpose. Yes, they have seating outside so that you can sit with your dog, but if you can't go inside to order or purchase food then it's pretty pointless. I'm lucky enough to be traveling with another person, so I went in to take a look and hopefully get some food and drinks, then enjoy the outside. There are supposed to be five or six vendors inside, but the sweet treat vendor and ramen vendor are closed so that decreased my options by a third. I decided on some fried chicken and garlic fries and I also grabbed a few grocery options for later. I was told it would be a 15 minute wait for the hot food items, however, when I went outside, I realized that the patio area is no more functional for me than the inside of the business. I am not a thin person and I literally cannot fit in the chairs outside. They have stools inside with no arms so if you're larger and you don't have a dog you could sit inside at the small bar and eat but overall I did not find this location to be dog or fat friendly.

A good variety of beer and meats!

So yummy. Great place when everyone in the family has different cravings. Mama cho's was yummy. The Kalbi burrito was so amazing. Desert at Milk & Cookie was the best top off.

Wish more of these public markets existed. They're like food courts but way nicer and better food from local businesses! This one has a decent amount of seating inside and we had no trouble getting a table at lunchtime on a Sunday. Parking was free and easy to find as well. They have several food options, an ice cream place, boba, and a coffee truck out front, plus a little Korean grocery area. There is something for everyone!

Variety of Korean food. Plenty of lunch and snacks here.

Great Asian-related food and a calm but lively atmosphere. Only thing I recommend is refinishing or replacing the eating tables they were clean but extremely sticky which makes them feel not clean.
Great place to hang out and eat. The food is delicious! The only thing is, the tables need to be cleaned more often because they're usually sticky.

A small market with half split of prepared food and grocery on the other half. After entering the left side is poke, ice cream bar and ramen shop. In the middle are fridges for drinks and a tea shop T4, the right is raw meat counter. Sunday by 12 it's quite empty here and the middle seating area is plenty. I can imagine when it gets a bit crowded that seating might be tight. However this is somewhere I can find something to eat and be content about. Clean floor and well staffed.

Lake Chabot Public Market is a really cool spot that is different than your typical restaurant.This building houses a variety of independent shops making & selling tasty drinks and food. It felt like a mall food court, but with better food! There is ample parking making it easy to park and go. I really enjoyed the outdoor seating. It allowed us to grab lunch and sit outside very easily and quickly. I was in the mood for Poke so I grabbed a bowl from Pokeatery. The menu and instructions are easily laid out and it was fun picking out the various toppings that I wanted. The bowl was decently sized and filled me up. The employees were nice and efficient. Pricing was fair at about $15ish per bowl.Whether you're into Korean BBQ, Poke, Ramen or just want to grab some coffee and dessert, Lake Chabot Public Market has it all! I will definitely be back to try out the other offerings! P.S. There's a mobile coffee bar outside that seems to be only open until 2pm.

College spent in LA gave me a taste for Korean food especially fusion Korean. KoJa kitchen does a great job of this. Walking into this clean and vibrant enclosure, I wandered the different sections until I came to the one on the far right on the entrance - the Korean spot. Wanted something light so I got the KFC - Korean fried chicken sandwich. It took about 15-20min to come out. It was lunchtime on Friday so NP. The review is solely for the sandwich It tasted mostly fresh, but left a bit desired:- Bun wasn't toasted - No cheese - No special Korean sauce of any kind - No kimchi? - Chicken was very lightly flavored, almost as if it wasn't trying Unsure if this was worth $12 Will try other things from their menu. Sandwich was mid.
