Very nice food hall. Good options and only 10 minute drive from Donut Man. 2 outdoor seating areas well spaced. Not too crowded and lots of parking despite what I read on Yelp.
Beer only available from Smog City but they have a good variety between pilsners, IPA, stouts and sours. You could do worse.
Food options aren’t plentiful but the places we tried were very good.
Bushi by Jinya ramen. Combo with ramen, karage and roll for $20. The soft boiled egg was absolutely perfect. Medium spicy Bushi red soul was actually spicy. Karage well fried and crispy. Son loved the spicy tuna roll. Forgot pics.
Taco man was lovely. All 4 items were delicious. Each element was well made from the meats, salsas and tortillas. I like that the tortillas were not doubled up. Could they use any smaller plates? The tacodilla with carne asada was a tortilla topped wtih meat, onion, cilantro and a heaping scoop of cheese. The gringa was a quesadilla with al pastor and pineapple. Tacos were better than expected.
My kid wanted the buffalo garlic parm boneless wings. They were fine but my kid is the worst orderer on the planet. We always end up eating her food once she realizes what I ordered is way better.

What? You didn’t have the pineapple bun fried chicken sandwich at Bolo? Totally decadent.

I knew I’d regret it but we will be back soon. Had too many fried chicken items that my kids wanted.

Was heading back from the desert today and my friend and I both recalled there was some old steakhouse on Foothill Blvd. in Glendora that we’d meant to try. Couldn’t find anything that looked right online so we ended up at the public market.
We decided on & Broth, or maybe (picture of cow) & Broth. Its unclear. Primarily a pho spot but with an odd mix of other items. My friend ordered taiwanese beef noodle soup. The broth was multi-layered and serious. I’d gone a little hard at Pappy’s the night before and didn’t want a soup. Saw the incongruous lomo saltado on the menu. Dammit if it wasn’t better than Mario’s. Good quality beef and the fries were crisp. Everything nicely balanced. Maybe a whisper of lemongrass in the beef but nothing really viet about it.
The food hall seems to suffer a little bit from the tyranny of best practices. Everybody is doing some form of ‘bowls’ and you can 'customize it how you like it" at a lot of the spots. I guess that’s what the people like but it suggests a lack of confidence in your product.
An aside, elderly Glendorians strolling in with their large non-service dogs is totally normal here. There were even signs instructing them what to do with their dogs. Me, I think that’s a little gross, but ymmv.
