    When 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.

    Sadly, 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.)

    Great 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.

    Whoever 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.

    Tried 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!

    They’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.

    I always get the same thing: the grilled pork rice plate from the Vietnamese place. Make sure you get the sauce, peanuts, and veggies!

    Afghan 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.

    I'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.

    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!

    The soups at Noodles Etc are generous in proportion and perfect for cold days or sore throats.

    The cheesesteak place and the gyros place are the best shops here, other than Peet's.

    Ask for something NOT on the menu or modified at Bangkok Thai and they'll make it fresh!
