Justin DSeptember 8, 2014When you and your friends can't decide on a place to eat for lunch, sometimes it's easiest just to eat at a food court.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Devora ZNovember 29, 2017Sadly, almost all of the old vendors have been replaced. The ramen at new-ish Shiba is wonderful - try the spicy ramen on a cold rainy day. I also love the chicken curries at Wazwan.
I'll never understand the haters. Great variety for all walks of life, affordable prices, centralized location, good for before/after moviegoing. (And doesn't have the oft-yup factor of Bay Street.)
ShinaOctober 19, 2014Great place for a quick bite. The food options here are pretty good but don't forget to get the tapioca drinks from the very first vendors by the door.- KeaSeptember 27, 2018Whoever the new management of this place must not know what they are doing. I seen this place 5 year ago, full of families and lots of people and now its nearly empty at night.
A place in transition. Eagerly awaiting the new look and tenants as I eat bulgogi from the public market stalwart: Sarbol.
Benjamin JungApril 7, 2013Tried the shrimp w/ mixed vege's rice bowl; freshly made but perhaps lacking a bit on spice or savory - perhaps beef bowl better. Still recommend!
WreSaleneMay 1, 2014The awesome pool hall, The Broken Rack is moving!! Find them a few blocks away! After May 2014 :) thebrokenrack.com
Nic WernerJuly 11, 2019They’ve locked up the outlets and haven’t repaired the WiFi. Watching lots of people move on and not buy who wanted to eat and charge.
Nabeel HyattMay 13, 2019amazing since being redone, the Ramen and Fried Chicken places are the best.
Katrina HaffordAugust 5, 2012I always get the same thing: the grilled pork rice plate from the Vietnamese place. Make sure you get the sauce, peanuts, and veggies!
Alex TenetteMay 23, 2013The afghan spot has good curry choices but my favorite is crispy fry the Mongolian beef is amazing.
Liam RJanuary 27, 2014I'm sure the owners of this place had great intentions, but it's unfortunately turned into a great spot for a multitude of vendors to serve sub-par food.
Xian XianDecember 4, 2012Afghan food! The chicken tikka is yummy and properly cooked, meaning it's tender and tasty
The Afghan food is the best ever. I come here probably once a week. Get the saffron chicken and the eggplant.
try to the afgan food. very delicious and huge quantities.two item combo is 7.75. It also comes with a drink but sometimes they forget to mention it so ask for it if they don't!
JonesMay 24, 2017Nice idea but restaurants not very good. Tried the Indian restaurant , koja, ramen and ice cream places. All were below average
Robert GordonJune 10, 2012The cheesesteak place and the gyros place are the best shops here, other than Peet's.
The soups at Noodles Etc are generous in proportion and perfect for cold days or sore throats.
Ask for something NOT on the menu or modified at Bangkok Thai and they'll make it fresh!
Mother AmericaJune 25, 2012Eat Eat Eat. That's what I like about this place. Foods from around the world in one little plece....Public Market place.
Christina HernandezJune 10, 2012Try the pumpkin curry & the chicken rice noodle soup at California Vietnamese
great place to grab some takeout. there is something for everyone.
Crystal TolentinoFebruary 17, 2017I miss the old Public Market. The bakery isn't there anymore. Bummer
Michael LinMarch 25, 2010Chicken kabob from Afghan Cuisine is really good. Ask for a taste, their happy to let you try
Wazwan Indian cuisine is amazingly good but way too filling. This is Disneyland for eaters.
They have a mediocre version of every type of food you can think of.
