Everyone gets what they want
Meeting friends who all want something different?
That's the whole reason a food hall exists. One person gets ramen, one gets dumplings, someone gets a corn dog, and dessert is already in the building. Communal seating, a patio, and televisions.
Five kitchens, one table
Everyone orders what they actually want and still eats together.
Savory and sweet
Bingsu, boba and Vietnamese coffee are at the same address as the ramen.
