I visited City Market on Elysian Fields & St. Claude for the first time this week and was pleasantly surprised! What used to be a beauty supply store has been transformed into a unique city market filled with a variety of food vendors -- almost like a mini food court in the middle of the city. There are several cuisine options to choose from: Asian, Thai, Creole, Southern, desserts, ice cream, and more. Only a few vendors were open during my visit which is why I'm giving 4 , but I went with Thai, and it was delicious -- fresh, hot, and made to order. Wish the other options were open to choose from felt a little empty but will go back again to try a few others. I love the convenience of the self-service kiosks where you can browse menus, place your order, and pay right there. After that, you simply wait for your number to be called. The seating is comfy and makes it a great place to grab a meal, have a meeting, or just relax. Takeout is easy, too. A very cool and innovative concept for this part of the city. I'll definitely be back to try more. read more

City Market - Food Court Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

City market is a food hall with a few Asian options, seafood and burgers. The aesthetic is very cute and there is plenty seating for dining in. I came here in the evening and people watched while I ate. There was a steady flow of customers but the waits weren't long at all. I had the steak bites with fried rice from Kim Son Express and it was decent. read more

City Market - Ribeye Steak Bites - Food Court Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

3.5 starts, rounded up to 4. The facility is beautiful and clean. All the kids who work there are nice. Ordering online is easy. As for the food, I've tried Kim Son and Kiko Poke. Both orders had mistakes, even though the ordering was online. The food that was correct was decent but nothing to rave about. I've heard the pho is good, so I'll try that next. Online orders have the option to add a tip. When I tried to tip with cash in person, I was told the workers aren't allowed to accept tips. That means the owners are pocketing the online tips. I hate that. Glad City Market is there; hoping to get a correct order next time. read more

City Market - Build your own poke bowl. They forgot the sauces. - Food Court Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I love this place! Multiple options to choose from, all with great portions and dishes. I've had the poke from Kiko multiple times, so delicious for only $15! They also serve bento boxes, which my friend loved. The stir fry place is also build your own and $15! Zoe's bakery in the middle has amazing sweet treats and also delicious coffee drinks. The Mariny market has great deals on boiled seafood and there's a great chicken booth. It's extremely clean, well laid out, and all of the servers and owners are very friendly. It gives super new age/trendy vibe and very aesthetically pleasing but the food gives comfort/homemade and fresh. I will keep going back! read more

Taste: 5 Creativity/Authenticity: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Service: 5 Bang for your buck: 4 The concept of this food hall is awesome but I think for the area it's only a matter of time sadly. Came here at lunch time and it was empty! And though they had a variety of different food compared to nothing but fried everything it was good to see Asian food. Now that being said this was the best Vietnamese vermicelli bowl I've ever had, and I just got back from Vietnam!! I prefer egg noodle but the rice noodle here, blew me away!! The pork also was fire!! So tender and flavorful! Overall I'm sad the best pork bowl I've had is in NOLA and not closer to where I live but when I'm in town I will return!! read more

City Market - Food Court Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I absolutely love the zen atmosphere. It's the spot I met my biological father for lunch for the first time ever and the energy was calming and needed. I love there are different offerings inside and you can choose what you like or are craving at the moment. Service was quick and was really suitable for in and out quickness for lunch. I've been back a second time and enjoyed it both times. read more

Great spot for a quick bite to eat. Several small counter restaurant choices in a food court. I tried both the poke and the banh mi and liked each. Prices were fair, the service was very good. The pokey restaurant has you build your bowl how you want it, the banh mi restaurant whipped up a good banh mi pork sandwich in a couple minutes, even though they were closing. Close to the French Quarter, but not the crowds. read more

Today was my first visit to City Market. We have wanted to try the food here for a while but we always seemed to arrive after it closed. Today was the day! The interior was light, bright and pleasing visually. The menus for each food area were clearly displayed and the prices were super reasonable. Each vendor was very nice and explained their menus very well. We had a taste for seafood and gumbo, which we found at the vendor at the rear of the food hall. First, the portion sizes were excellent compared to the price. My seafood platter had fried fish, oysters, shrimp, sweet potato fries, and hush puppies. The platter was awesome! In fact, I had some to take home, which will be part of tomorrow's lunch. In addition to the seafood platter, we also had a small bowl of gumbo, an order of spicy corn on the cob, and an order of spicy boiled eggs. I don't eat okra, but my wife said the gumbo was "wonderfully delicious". The eggs were cooked perfectly and the spice was a nice kick. NOTE: If you don't like spicy heat, order the eggs and corn with mild spice. If you've read my reviews, you know I love a sweet finish to my meal. Today was no different! On the way in, at Zoe's, I spied a person serving a slice of strawberry shortcake, and I saw other beautiful pastries and cakes. I knew this was going to be a stop after I finished the seafood. Who else determines what their dessert will be before you decide on your meal? Folks, if you are in New Orleans, come over to Elysian Fields and visit our new friends in the neighborhood; City Market. (Oh yeah! I saw red velvet cheesecake sitting next to the strawberry shortcake, and I ordered it instead.) read more

We chose to get a poke bowl from Kiko and were very happy with that choice. The ingredients available were fresh and plentiful, with Polo applying them generously. The $15 bowl is twice the size of what you get from Poke Loa! My only suggestion for improvement is that the salmon be cut into smaller cubes- mine were two bite pieces. read more

The market has great Asian cuisines! I ordered a chicken stir fry, and it was about $15. The food is quickly prepared, and there's a bunch of large, long tables to enjoy your meal. The place is covered in faux marble and gold-painted furniture. It's clearly cheap, but still aesthetically pleasing. Also, there's a spacious parking lot for customers, which is great for the area! read more

Finally got a chance to stop into this lovely airy food hall on a rainy Monday. I have to admit that it felt funny to be stopping into this space that had been empty for so long and a beauty mega store before that. What a beautiful transformation! I was there an hour before close but all the vendors were welcoming! I grabbed a yummy banh mi (Suga) and some pastries (Zoe's) and my friend got something from Kim Son. Service was really fast and everyone was really friendly. I'll have to get back over there for poke soon. read more

Service was quick and fast but the gumbo Isn't nola gumbo for certain not what you want. read more

City Market - Gumbo from Marigny Market....w/shrimp added - Food Court Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've been here twice, and it's really cute in the inside. Bright lights and nice decor. 1st time I went I tried pho. That was my first time having it, and it was good. Serving was pretty big and it filled me up (couldn't eat all of it). I went for the second time last week as a family friend wanted some Pho and I told her the market had a place with pho and other food spots. She got the pho to go and enjoyed it. I decided to try the garlic Parmesan wings from Bywater Burgers and Wings. I was surprised when I opened it that the sauce wasn't on the wings, but I'm assuming since I got it to go they didn't want it to get soggy. The food was hot and the fries were seasoned well. The chicken was crispy, but wayyy too salty. I could barely put any of the garlic Parmesan sauce on it because that was pretty salty too. The ranch they have wasn't my favorite either. Also tried the strawberry tea from Suga and I wasn't a fan. I wasn't sure rather to get the green tea or black tea for the base but the guy at the counter said he liked it with green tea. I didn't like it, as it had a strong aftertaste to me. Then the small pieces of strawberry and pineapple coming through my straw wasn't great either. The staff at both places were nice and because there's a lot of things to try in city market I'm sure I'll go back again, I just won't get those items anymore. read more

It seems like the anticipated opening of City Market took forever before it happened but happy it finally made it to fruition. But like many of the food courts the dependability of vendors and the ability to fill the stalls is a challenge. Currently the bar has never opened. To my knowledge alcohol is NOT available in the market (guessing it might have a BYOB option but didn't inquire). Many stalls are not open and the ones that were are limited. For instance the sushi vendor had no sushi when we went yesterday. But the space very clean with a fresh open design. We tried two vendors. Suga for their Banh Mi which were both good but bland and didnt have any pickled veggies that I would expect. Zoe's bakery was very good. We tried a few of their desserts and really enjoyed the flavored cheesecakes. I'm rooting for this new market to grow as we come into the busy season in town so go out and support it. This has the potential to be something wonderful. read more

Cool place with a good variety of food options. Great place to eat if you're on a budget.

Grand opening weekend and beautiful inside. A lot of Vietnamese style food & drinks, poke and such. We decided to split the sweet chili wings (6 for $10) and then get a pork bahn mi ($7) from another spot. They also handed out some Dong Phuong rolls while we were in line. I'm assuming they might have something to do with the concept. Can't wait to go back when ALL the "eateries" are open. read more

City Market - Crispy sweet chili wings - Food Court Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

"Kim Son Express" definitely one of the best "Pho" options around. Order over the phone food was ready in 10 min packed all utensils. Also a good price compared to what's closer to home. Definitely going back. Only small problem they could give more vegetables but meat portion was good something that usually lacks with pho. read more

This is a very nice food mall with VARIETY!!!! Kim Son Express is great for dine in or take away. Service is fast and even faster online. Food is delicious and nicely portioned. Bywater Burgers and Wings is another tasty spot. There was a dessert stall with nice cheesecake and other pastry sweets. The vibe is nice with soft music and luscious plants. read more

The Full Monty! We went for the first time today. It was....amazing. We approached this task with a serious plan. Walk the whole place, a large circle of delights, and then make decisions. First was Zoes. Pastry Heaven. Plus King Cakes with a large plate of samples! We were smiling already. Next was bamigh sandwiches. Pardon my spelling. To the left as we rounded the curve was seafood delight and then: the burgers! More on that later. On the left was poke bowls! Just like the ones on the Big Island in Hawaii! And finally we saw fresh spring rolls. Research over! We were hungry! So we ordered pork/shrimp spring rolls. O my! They were delicious and fresh and full of shrimp and pork. Their peanut sauce was a bit sweet but the sirach sauce blended perfectly. So we retuned to the start. The bakery! We bought two small cream cheese filled king cakes, one for later and the other for a friend. For toniight we settled on a huge piece of chocalate mousse cake!! We lined up for our poke bowls next. Each was customized with a personal menu sheet. One had teriyaki salmon, the other had raw salmon. Plus dozens of other selections. These were just as good as the Big Island version, without the 6,000 mile plane ride!! While waiting for our custome poke bowls two things happened. We had a great talk with the chef building the bowls and he offered us his personal favorite pot sickers with seaweed and edamane: no charge! Yum! And we also started talking to the burger chef across and he told us of his blend of brisket and short rib prime beef in the burgers. Guess what? We ordered one. It was out of this world delicious! We left with a big bag of leftovers and great desserts. We are going back on Wednesday night for dinner prior to a local concert. Please enjoy this hidden gem! read more

We have watched and waited and fantasized about how good this we be. It is finally open an has filled nearly ever stall. Not all Asian as I think we hoped but every vendor is making aa great presentation. The atmosphere is bright and airy creating a feeling of being outdoors. No loud music and foam sprayed ceiling makes it possible to share a conversation without yelling. I was so tempted by Bywater Burgers but I promised myself to try something I wouldn't normally get to try. Zoe's Bakery was making my diabetes hurt just smelling the delicacies. I wanted that cappuccino blondie so bad.I chose Kim Son Express, the made me think of those shopping mall asian place. This not your typical mall food. The picture with the steak was my choice. I got the rice rather than the noodle. The side salad was a refreshing addition to a tender and well seasoned beef with perfect rice. The crab rangoon was crunchy with nice ratio of cream cheese to "crab". I know most Asian dinners wouldn't touch it but for people who like the Asian-American version, it checked all the boxes. Now for the pork egg-rolls, YUM! The Marigny Market did the shrimp platter. The cook on the fries and shrimp was perfect. The shrimp were tender and fresh but needed some spice, maybe a bit more salt too. Suga had a line. I wish they had some local speciality ice creams. There is a Korean place but I can't remember the name. They are set up to eventually have a bar, wouldn't be nice to have a variety of Sake? The Kiko Sushi and Poke was open. I am not an expert in that so will leave for someone else to elaborate about. It is obvious a lot has gone into bringing this establishment to life. My only complaint is the chairs don't encourage hanging out and were for looks only, not sitting. read more

Had the grilled chicken bahn mi, bang bang shrimp nori taco and chicken hibachi. All was so flavorful and surprisingly affordable for the neighborhood. Very excited to try more from the other booths! The service was attentive and quick even in the face of bigger opening day crowds. Friendly staff all around. The inside is tastefully decorated. There's enough room to move around to not feel cramped with their layout too. The outside mural is spectacular as well. Overall, had a nice lunch and enjoyed my time here. Will be back. read more

Got the chargrilled shrimp rice vermicelli. Really good, very fresh however there wasn't a spice option. So if you prefer yours on the spicier side then I wouldn't recommend. Tried out the bakery too and I loved their cookies. No complaints. read more

City Market - First time but not the last! - Food Court Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

We had the pho from the Vietnamese restaurant right when you walk in. It's the best we have found in the area. Being Filipino from San Francisco my boyfriend says we will definitely be back. Their fried shrimp rolls and Spring Rolls are definitely a must. Everyone couldn't have been nicer even met the market manager, Shaun. This will be a weekly spot for us for sure!! read more

Wanted to like this place. Cute decor inside nice seating and good setup. Tried everything. The fried seafood place was ok. Oysters terrible but my daughter loved the fried shrimp platter. The burger wing place is good but not anything stand out. Had with lemon pepper wings. Poke is ok not the best or worst. The best place in here was the hibachi I had the steak and rice plate and a nori taco. It's already closed! I went back specifically for hibachi yesterday. Some lady with a laptop I assume is the owner rudely told me they are no longer there. Oh well never going back. read more

City Market - This is the wing - Food Court Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Overpriced Banh Mis and Drinks... Taro smoothie was made completely wrong...Service was fast, but lady in the blue shirt (owner?) was incredibly rude... Ambiance would be nice if they cleaned more often, tables and floors are very dirty... Looks more like a botanist/garden from the outside rather than a food store, 0 marketing at all needs MAJOR improvement! read more

Tried the bakery with mixed results. The eclair wasn't one. Had the Bahn Mi and it was okay. It's too darn bright in this place. The lighting needs to be more inviting and less interrogating. Food can be improved but it's just not comfortable. Ice and boba don't work well either. read more

Amazing food and yummy dessert, please patronize this establishment it has something for everyone!!

There are bugs EVERYWHERE. Flies can be found going in and out of kitchens. I saw a fly on the RAW FISH of the Poke Bar, with it being completely unattended. A line of ants can be found crawling on the dirty windowsill. If the owners of City Market are oblivious to flies and ants in the open, imagine what goes on in the kitchen... If you care about your health, do NOT eat at this establishment! No gluten free anything, the seafood gumbo is just a repackaged CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE gumbo with shrimp added on top. Shrimp and fish are fried in the same oil, so be aware of that if you are allergic! read more

Place is garbage overpriced frozen food very unprofessional staff. Could never pay me to go back
