Came here after a meeting with several other people, had Sonny & Sons and the Taqueria restaurant (churros). The churros were good and not overly sweet. However, my meal from Sonny & Sons was not the best. I saw several other patrons ordering from here so I felt optimistic but was disappointed. The chicken tenders were extremely big and just did not taste the best. The french fries were great though. The service was good and I had no complaints about that. Will come back in the area due to the variety of options. Very clean and welcoming place as well.

A pretty unique and cool place with delicious food from various food stall vendors. This place has 3 food vendor stalls serving hot fried chicken, Korean food and sushi and a nice central bar. They also have 5-6 other "ghost kitchen" vendors that prepare different cuisines and get delivered to where your seated or you can order everything for take out, delivery or dine in. Really great place that is awesome for kids. I'll definitely be back!

Way way too loud. Way way too much bass in the music. So much base that I felt nauseated. There is no way to have a conversation at this food hall unless you scream. I'd hate to work here bc of the damage being done to one's hearing. Service A+ Food good. Tables clean and people checked on us several times to clear trays make sure we didn't need anything. To order from the ghost kitchens, you need to use the QR code on the table. Wifi reception is not great so this can be a bit of a challenge. There are 3 restaurants and a bar that are not hidden. You can walk up and order from these using cash or credit. However there are also hidden or ghost kitchens with other fare. The ghost kitchens are actually around the side of the building and you can look in the windows to see them but you need to order w the QR code. The food was good and staff helpful. Fun experience except for the extraordinarily and unnecessarily loud music. Food is served on old fashioned aluminum baking trays lined w paper. Lots of FREE parking nearby.

Fantastic atmosphere, the playlist is awesome I was bopping the whole time. Really fast too, I probably got my food in under 10. Everyones so nice and it's so pretty during the daylight. Loved the spring roll and crispy rice spicy tuna roll. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Will be back!

This place has potential, but needs some things worked out. I'll drop my thoughts in the off-chance management reads these reviews. First off, you can order dine-in from all 10 different vendors they have, but it's not super obvious on how. You need to scan a QR code that's located on the table to pull up the ordering system. The only place that QR code seems available is at the tables, which seems backwards. If I go into a food hall, I look to order *then* find a seat. This is as confusing as it sounds to others too, as some lady came in next to us, looked over the three visible options, commented "this is it?" and walked out. Have that QR code in more places (every single poster) and in more obvious places (a big sign as you first walk in?). This is a new, atypical ordering process for many and it needs to be laid out much, much clearer. Next too, have some easier way to see all the different restaurant menus! Bombay Kitchen was the only non-visible option that had a paper menu available if you hunted for it. You can easily read the menus of the three visible spots - but if I wanted to see what was available from the *seven* other spots then I'm expected to pull out my phone, find a QR code (on a table), figure out what the different cuisines are, figure out what's on the menu . . . etc, etc. You've lost most people on step one. I had a tasty chicken sandwich and fries from Sonny & Sons on opening week. Then recently had a bulgogi bowl from Mok Bar alongside their KTown fries (both pretty good). Once we figured the QR ordering - we grabbed some cupcakes and samosas too - more out of curiosity of how long it would take and how the process would go. Got our orders brought up to our table in about 5-10 minutes. Prices for some items/restaurants are a bit steep. Other options/restaurants are a more reasonable. Plenty of parking around.

Food halls are becoming more & more popular these days. They usually contain several different eateries, a bar, & ghost kitchens (unseen eateries). This spot is just that!!

Prices are high. There are three little restaurants sharing seating space with a small bar. I got a glass of beer and it was $12 with tip. For food I went to the Mok Bar and got the Crabby Shrimp bowl which was $17. Now it was a Sunday around 2:30 place was not crowded. See photos. There is the picture of my bowl. It was tasty with the different flavors complimenting each other. I really liked the food and the beer was not bad but the price is too high for what you get. This could be due to the rent being high. Can't give this place more than 3 stars. Also the happy hour is from 3-5pm. Wow

Nice new spot in PG. Will definitely return. Spend aliytle time people watching and eating. The ghost hall is an interesting concept. Ghost kitchens on site . Order via qr code for the different kitchens. Can't wait to try the other ghost kitchens.

I just so happened to be in the area and knew of the food hall and had to stop by. It's located in a convenient area, lots of food choices and easy parking. So there's a big sign and that's what I headed to but didn't seem right. Worker said that was their storage and across the way was the food hall. No problem. Get inside and there's 3 restaurants. I know there are more but they are ghost kitchens and maybe order online, I was confused about that and didn't see any signage about it. But all that didn't matter, I was there for a chicken sando. Sonny & Sons, excellent chicken sandwich. EXCELLENT. I got the hot one and the heat was there. So from my picture looks really good but the surprise is the chicken went like 3 inches past the bun on the side. It was gigantic and I was loving every bite. The slaw and pickles helped balance out the heat, great bread, the most perfectly seasoned waffle fries. I'd eat here every week if they were close by. Service was great too, it clearly was my first time here and the main chick helped me out on ordering. Highly recommend.
The long awaited Le Fantome is here and I was super excited about it. Positives - Beautiful décor, clever theme, good location, it was clean, the staff was very friendly, nice bar menu, and good craft cocktails Not-so positives-Mediocre food from where I ate, limited choices, no happy hour at the bar, pricey where the quality of the meal and drinks just can't be justified. Would I go back? At some point, sure. I believe as time goes on, they will get the critical feedback needed to make the right changes for lasting sustainability. Mok Bar, steamed buns- the meat was overcooked. I don't know. Think a steak-umm, not very flavorful. The brussels sprouts was very good, the scallion sour cream on top makes this dish a winner. I had one of the cocktails, the Tom a specialty margarita, it was delish, although it cost me nearly $15 bucks. The bedside manner of staff could use improvement, train them on customer service in all aspects, invest in the communities that you are using as your workforce. I'm not a fan of companies inserting staff into environments they may not be culturally familiar with. Train people on more than just cooking and using a cash register. For example, people who work at coffee shops (that shall remain nameless) that don't drink coffee, and know nothing about coffee, it's clear they are there to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads. And ain't nothing wrong with that at all! I feel mostly everyone would appreciate a workplace experience that polishes and refines them, giving workers skills that last well beyond the paychecks. Le Fantome needs to step their game up so that this place not only looks good visually, but also upholds the French upscale concept in every aspect of the experience, otherwise, it's going to get old real fast.

Hmm had higher hopes for this food hall considering Esther Choi's mok bar opened a location here. It's quite barren with little food selection but I'm hoping that's because it's brand new. Sonny and sons chicken sandwich was tasty, don't forget to asked for their special sauce! However it took a long time to get the food. Mok bar's bulgogi bowl was pretty standard, if not a little oily. I think I will give this food hall a few more months to developer before visiting again.

The food was fine enough but it is rather expensive for what is offered. The concept is odd to me at the given price point. I can get a higher quality experience from a more traditional restaurant for the same cost or I can go to a more traditional counter serve place to get a similar experience for far cheaper. If I want alcohol, I can just walk to a bar afterwards.I really like the idea of restaurants sharing a dining area to reduce overhead and increase the options, but the reduced overhead does not seem to be having any effect on lowering prices.

This is about the ghost kitchen side:They need to sort of their ordering system; it says it will text you when your order is ready but in the three times I’ve ordered so far I’ve never gotten the text. And the food is never ready at the initial estimated time, so that text is crucial if you don’t want to just show up and wait for your food.Service on the ghost kitchen side is poor, too. I saw another customer trying to pick up his order but they couldn’t find it. They basically said it was his fault because he waited too long to pick up his order (probably because he never got the text ?). Eventually after the customer left they realized they were just looking in the wrong place for his order.I don’t see myself ordering from here anymore until they figure out their system. At the moment picking up is just too much of a hassle.

Can't recommend just yet until they work out some problems Ordered from the ghost kitchen and it was a nightmare Lack of communication Pretty much chaos Had to leave my table go down the block wondering about where my food was Was needing a relaxing dinner experience and left stressed out The sushi is amazing and the bar staff are lovely
