Tired of overpriced dining in LA? Then the Omakase-style Eating Menu at Vesti should be at the TOP of your list! It's an Italian-inspired menu with unexpected Asian touches, and honestly... the combination was incredible. The experience is super intimate with only few seats per seating, and the menu changes from seating to seating--so you may not get the exact dishes I had! (Tasting Table) My favorite was the chef's peach salad -- so refreshing and surprisingly complex, with the sweetness of the fruit, creamy cheese, and that very Italian olive oil dressing. But my true love was the chef's Korean-style chicken wings . Those wings were basically the BTS concert of the entire meal--the kind of dish that completely stole the show! I honestly lost count of how many dishes we got. All I remember is that by the end, we were completely stuffed and satisfied. No walking out hungry like some other omakase experiences! And the best part? Only $70 per person for this all-you-can-eat chef's tasting experience. With premium ingredients and generous portions, I think this is one of the better foodie deals in LA right now. (Tasting Table) But hurry! Reservations have been selling out quickly, and this special Eating Menu is part of Vesti's limited-time pop-up. @eatvesti at Maydan Market $70/person few seats per seating Menu changes frequently read more

Modern and gorgeous food hall in a random location in the Mid City area haha. I visited this food hall on an early Friday afternoon and the spot was decently busy, but not too crowded. I was able to find seating and a table easily. They offer a good variety of food from Mexican to Thai with a good amount of drink options. The food I had here was decent though, nothing mind-blowing. I more so enjoyed the ambiance of this place. It's a good hangout spot, but also seems to be a solid spot to bring a laptop and work from with the comfy seating, wifi, and outlets. A good option if you don't mind the music and noise. They also have gender neutral bathrooms with private toilet rooms. Everything was pretty clean. For parking, it's free street only parking but I didn't have a hard time finding a spot at the time I went. Overall, I enjoyed this spot and I would come back and try the other food and drink options I didn't get to try. read more

¥¥¥ 2026 review #6 ¥¥¥ When I found out Vesti is doing an 8-month residency (until January 31st 2027) at The Maydan Market, I immediately booked 2 seats for their Eating Menu. Yup! You read it currently. Not a mini bites tasting menu that still leaves you hungry after messes. It's a generously portioned full size EATING MENU fit for true foodies!!! An AYCE for 2 hours at Vesti's counter, Chef prepared, right in front of your eyes. Like an Omakase but a million times better, with imported, high quality ingredients and you can even ask for seconds if you really really love any course. Trust me, you will be FULLY stuffed! We started out with Vesti Zippy Dill And Vinegar Chips with Pecorino Mascarpone Caramelized Onion Dip ($12) that in itself is a yummy starter. Highly recommend to add a 12g Tin. ($45) Aqua Best Ossetra Caviar! #iykyk Next, we had the most delicate and superbly balanced Ōra King Salmon w/ cucumber granita, trout roe & pickles. Mmmmm.... I was tempted to ask for servings but needed to pace myself. Bite after bite, we were wow'ed by each and every dish preparation. I got to chat and talk FOOD with Chef Adam and Chef Shane as well as Jorge and Tony -- honestly that was the highlight of the whole Eating Menu experience. The courses kept coming, as soon as we finish one dish, another one pops up! Delicious Nduja sausage in toasted homemade focaccia, super crispy vodka beer-battered wings, Nduja croquettes & Nona's Balls, to-die-for Zoe's crispy fried mortadella sandwich, made-to-order artisan pizza... we were so stuffed! But there's always room for dessert, especially when it's Vesti's Whiskey Caramel Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding!!! Served warm with fresh whip cream.m ^_^ pure heavenly bliss! The menu always changes, even between seatings on the same evening. We can't wait to go back for more Eating Menu! Run, don't walk! Maydan Market at: 4301 W Jefferson Blvd -- Los Angeles Vesti's Eating Menu pop-up at Maydan Market only until Jan. 31, 2027 -- seatings at 4pm * 6pm * 8pm on Tuesday through Saturday *reservations required. Highly recommend booking ASAP 'coz seats are going fast, especially on weekends: eatvesti.com/maydan-market SYOY & at Vesti residency at Maydan Market! read more

Had a delightful celebration Friday lunch with my work colleagues yesterday! This spot is so unique and am so happy our supervisor recommended to go here instead of our usual spots. About a 10 min drive from Exposition Park/USC. Parking could be challenging given it's off a residential area -- so you could save some headache and adventure over via Metro! This was the first time I visited a food hall, where I could seat myself and utilize one single QR code to order from various menus, and have it served directly to me! Loved it! Since our boss was treating, there is a feature that they can share the tab link with others, and you can order whatever you'd like from your own phone as opposed to passing your phone around or having a point person order from their phone. I believe they will accommodate normal table side order placement if needed, which is appreciated for people who are not tech savvy or maybe they just don't wanna deal with it lol I thought the menus had very unique offerings and it wasn't too overwhelming with a ton out of choice (shout out to my indecisive people). I ended up ordering from their southeast Asian restaurant-- thoroughly enjoying my two piece Thai fried chicken set, which includes a small plate of pickled greens and going with the French fries and curry sauce on the side. Incredible flavor and value! My colleagues opted for more traditional, Mexican fare, enjoying guacamole, corn, tamales, and sea bass tacos dorados. We all had iced teas! I didn't want my fried chicken to go to waste and appreciated having the ability to box my own food up (containers, located near the silverware and napkins station). I did have to go to one of the food stamps to ask for A to go ramekin because I needed to take the curry sauce!! All in all super cool spot cannot wait to try other things and go back. There's so many different vibes from traditional dining room seating to an outdoor patio with comfy benches. Can't wait to come back for that Lebanese breakfast!!!!!!!! read more

My cousin from out-of-town stayed at an Airbnb nearby and told me about this place. I would've never known it was here. Maydan Market is a very unique food hall with a handful of food stalls and a full service restaurant with a very enticing and attractive interior. My friend and I had lunch here and tried Malena, the Afro-Mexican place, and Golden Mountain Chicken, a Thai place. You can sit anywhere and scan the QR code for the menus to order. At some places you can order at the counter. The food is brought to you. Maydan Market is a gorgeous destination. You would never guess from just driving by on Jefferson Bl. You will very likely end up parking on the residential streets since the spots on Jefferson fill up. read more

Very pretty and modern food hall, but to be honest I thought that food was just okay for the price. There's a few standouts- like the liver/pâté dip at one of the restaurants. Good spot for large groups for their happy hour, ample seating as well. Convenient that you can order from all the restaurants from your table and through your phone, and they deliver the food to your table. Street parking was easy to find in the area- granted I was there on a weekday. read more

My husband, my 5-year-old son, and I came here and ordered the Tawle Experience. They didn't charge for my son, which we appreciated. The meal included an incredible variety of dishes, from flavorful dips, fresh/pickled vegetables, and small plates to unlimited fresh bread. Everything was well prepared and gave us the chance to try so many different flavors. For our main course, we chose the branzino, and it also included a dessert. The service was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. While it's can be a splurge, the Tawle Experience includes a generous amount of food with plenty of variety, making it feel worth the price. I'd recommend Maydan LA for a special occasion or if you're looking for a memorable dining experience with lots of delicious dishes to share. read more

Visited on a busy Saturday night. The concept is cool, but confusing to navigate. You're supposed to grab a table then scan a QR code to order from one of the vendors. I wouldn't quite call this a market since there's only a few spots to order from, it's more of a food hall. We ordered some items from Vesti and drinks from Compass Rose. I was actually impressed by the selection of alcohol, plenty of wine and cocktails. The rosè was good, nothing special, and the French 75 was excellent. To eat, we tried the pepperoni pizza and wagyu sandwich from Vesti. The pizza was very flavorful and not too dense. I liked that it had a small spicy kick. The star of the show is the wagyu sandwich. It's balanced with caramelized onions and arugula. This is one of the better bites I've had in awhile. The wagyu could've been more tender and less cooked. Still this sandwich was amazing a 9/10. My main issue was the confusion we faced with ordering. Not a fan of the QR code and having to manually enter in a card. You also have to ask for napkins and forks. Didn't love the restroom situation either, Overall, loved the actual food and drinks. read more

This place is really cool. I went there for an event and it was very well set up. Lots of different restaurants to eat it, two bars with a whole lot of alcohol and plenty of seating inside and out. Maydan Market vendors have special curated menus. Maydan (Middle Eastern Cuisine) Compass Rose (Cafe & Bar) Sook (Bazaar & Wine Bar) Maléna (Coastal Afro-Mexican Cuisine) Lugy'ah (Zapotec Live-Fire Cooking) Golden Mountain Chicken (Thai Fried Chicken & Noodles) Vesti (Sandwiches) It's a very cool place to take a date too and they have valet parking. I took the metro and exited Farmdale. It's a three block walk from there. Go try it, enjoy it! I'll go with you if you want. lol! read more

Such an incredible delicious meal! We went to Sook, a small eatery and bar by the corner of the market and the dips we had were sensational! Besides being tasty, the colorful dishes were so appealing. We had the Walnut Casik and Beet Borani. Both dips were bursting with spices. The pita bread was soft and perfect to clean off the bowls! We also had the Chicken Shish Kebab and the chicken was soft tender and came with pita bread. The amount of the meal was just right. Our server was happy to serve us. It's quite a drive to LA but when in town Maydan Market is definitely worth going to. read more

Food is really good! A bit pricey, but very good. Definitely would recommend the spreads, the kebab and bread! It's a huge place with different restaurants to eat at. I wish the staff was a bit more friendlier in explaining the whole concept of the market. They charge you every time you order more bread, so be mindful of that. This place gets a 3 because of the missing hospitality piece at this place. Food is great, drinks are decent, pricing was a bit expensive. It's cute and hip, but I would have loved to had seen more friendliness and conversations instead of a place of service and on to the next customer. read more

I think some people are blanket rating this place due to the market, and not the actual Maydan LA restaurant. This review is for the actual Maydan LA restaurant. Swung by w a Rez, and was seated right away. Wasnt super hungry so decided to do a couple things. They have an option that is almost like a shared dish omakase with the the table, but was told its a large amount of food, so we'll all just have to come back for that. This trip we ordered a la cart, so lets get to it: Hummus: They sometimes have a special where you can add a little lamb roast to the hummus, so we opted for that, and I've gotta say this is probably one of the most flavorful hummuses ive had. It went super well with the hot and fresh pitas that came along with it. Roasted Eggplant: This was super good. If you're a fan of eggplant it'll take you for an adventure of flavors with the mint and sauce it comes paired with. Houllumi: If you told me baked cheese was a vibe then this would be it. Super nutty flavor baked in with the cheese and honey. Pair this up with the pita, and you got a delicious sweet and nutty flavor bomb. Kebab: Ended up choosing the chicken and lamb kebabs to try, and they had a really nice smokey right off the fire flavor while being super tender and juicy still. Cooked just right, and if you pair it with their harissa or zhoug it takes it to a whole nother level. Definitely a spot that I'd come back to check out, and do the big feast with some friends, so hopefully trying more things will lead to some best dish discoveries. Overall really good meal, and the vibes here are immaculate. Check this place out. read more

Food Phenomenal, I've had a few meals and they are were great Please try the Mexican/Spanish inspired dishes they are PHENOMENAL Service Great The host was sooo lovely and was really helpful. Ambiance You're crazy if you don't love the space, it's unique, beautiful, friendly and a great place for groups or colleagues read more

The concept is brilliant and the place is really nice with plenty of seating. The aesthetic rich in culture and so are the food options. However because it's freshly opened, the staff are not yet well rehearsed. First: The host at the door went through a long drawn out explanation when we were just really ready to go in and walk around the place in toilet place so he made it more confusing. I think he should have just explained we could sit wherever we want it, show us the scan on the table and let us know he was there if we had any questions. Second: At the Coffee bar, there was a lot of confusion about which table ordered what. Third: We ordered Thai fried chicken, mango salad, and sticky rice from Golden Mountain. He brought our chicken out fresh and hot then left and never came back. I went back to the counter to ask where was our sticky rice and mango salad and he said "oh sorry" he had forgotten so we had to wait for him to prepare it so our chicken had pretty much cooled off by the time we got our sides. At the coffee bar we order I understand it is fresh and new so I'm not judging too harshly and I will definitely return. read more

Branded as a 10,000 square-foot multi-restaurant culinary experience collective and food hall with an international night market feel, Maydan Market opened in October 2025 in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles. It is located within walking distance of the Farmdale station of the Metro E Line. Our group of four stopped in for an early dinner before a sporting event (not close) and enjoyed the food/company. Inside is a really cool space, with a communal hearth in the center of the hall, allowing it to be used for various dishes across the restaurant. What to note is that many of the restaurants do not take food orders between 15:00 and 17:00 (break/prep time between lunch and dinner service). They try to simplify the ordering experience, providing features like shared tab, combined ordering. The idea is that each member of a party can order what they want. The indoor space doesn't have good cellular reception, so good WiFi is critical. It is easy to get on, but is not fast enough to handle the needs of the restaurant website...it kept hanging. I tried various things, getting closer to checkout in some cases, but each time failing. I finally decided to pick a restaurant that didn't have a long line, and just ordered the food directly with a human. They need to improve this. There are self-serve areas to pick up tap water, napkins, utensils, and take-home containers. It is definitely not self-bussing, but not clear if the hall does the clearing or if each restaurant is accountable. Definitely important since all dishes and utensils are reusable. There is one reservation fine-dining restaurant (Maydan LA), open only at night. read more

So I don't get why Yelp has only one listing for this place because each restaurant is so different. But here's my thoughts - overall market gets 5 stars; super duper cool concept and I love variety so it's just absolutely perfect for me as a place. You can choose to sit outside or inside and it doesn't ever feel too packed. LOVE - compass rose is delicious and perfect place to sit on a warm day. Nice comfy couches make the perfect scene to enjoy food and drink. My favorite is to order the Mediterranean food and get it delivered there - Maydan LA- here's where the stars start to come off. It was good but not as perfect as the rest. My issues with it mainly come from how they handled some missteps. In general the food was good but not amazing. I would definitely not do the Tawle option because you get a lot of useless food that's not helpful. We got the ridbeye as an extra option and despite our lamb shoulder being nice and warm, the ribeye was completely cold. Not ideal operationally but I can let it pass. My issue is how it was handled- no affirmation of how ridiculous it was to get a cold steak and furthermore they didn't comp it despite us just telling them to box it up cold. All in all I will be back a lot but just not to Maydan LA read more

I just got home from Maydan Market, and it was the loveliest experience. My friend and I ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was delicious. You can either order up front or from your table (each table has a QR code that leads you to the menus for all of the eateries, and everything is brought to your table). I ordered the tamal de pollo, esquite, and an agua fresca from Maléna; an empanada de mole con pavo and a cafe de olla from Lugya'h; and a tamarind espresso ginger beer from Compass Rose. My friend ordered the walnut casik from Sook by Maydan, and the salsa de huevo and a cafe de olla from Lugya'h. (She also got a nice drink, but I can't recall what was in it). It's a beautifully decorated space with a variety of seating options, and there's also an outdoor patio in the back that looked inviting. I would recommend coming earlier in the day. By the time we left there was much more activity. The staff who helped us were so nice, too! read more

A premium food court experience as the atmosphere was so nice, ordering process was easy and seamless that you needn't even have to leave your chair as everything could easily be done from your phone and you got your orders delivered to your table. There's option to dine in Maydan's own resto by the bar and fire pit, which did offer some menu from the stalls around the food court. Seats in this space could be reserved while the food court area was on first-come-first-serve basis. Trying to be more adventurous, we ordered the iconic dishes which we saw many people calling out. Our first choice went to Tlayuda; fire-grilled gigantic corn tortilla served with black beans, cheese and cabbage. We picked beef as our protein to go with the tortilla. Unfortunately this didn't suit us well as we felt it's too dominated by the cabbage that we barely could taste the other elements. The beef was okay, but bit shadowed by the cabbage. Thankfully the Halloumi came as a savior, served with peanut dukkah and honey, giving that savory and sweet twist, which we both fancied. It's tad pricey for the size but undoubtlessly yum. We also tried our friend's Kachapuri, the georgian-style cheese bread with mix of cheeses at the center, then topped with butter and egg. The way it's served was the server would deliver it warm then mixed together the cheese, butter, and egg in front of you. This blend sounded simple yet palatable. My first experience trying this was in a Georgian resto in NYC, and I'd say Maydan's version was certainly in the league. read more

3.5 stars - Cool concept at Maydan Market where it's basically a "restaurant style food hall". You sit down at the table areas where it's for the 4-5 restaurants/food vendors you can order with a QR code on the table. You choose multiple food items and drinks at these different places and they have a server from their places delivering to your table. There is a main restaurant that is dine in only at the market. The food is a little overpriced for simple things that aren't blow your mind tasty but I get the hype of the ambiance and nice quality. If you are coming for food and drinks it's average but if you come for the ambiance to hang out or catch up with friends and family I would say it's great. We got a few things from different places but our favorite was from Sook of their dip called: Muhammara (4/5): Hummus spread that has walnuts and roasted red pepper blended up that gives it a creamy, nutty taste and they have pomegranate molasses on top that gives it a hint of sweetness. This dish came with 2 pitas. It didn't come out as warm as we'd like but still great! read more

Maydan Market - Muhammara dip at Sook - delicious! - Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The concept of this place is cool. We read the reviews before going and sat at a table and ordered via the QR code. The app is a little finicky. It's honestly really overpriced imo. The chicken skewer is $18 for 5 pieces of meat smaller than you get at chick fil a. I think it was also undercooked so I sent it back. She told me it was brined and that's why it was pink but we definitely think it was not cooked all the way. Also it tastes very plain, no flavor really and the side is cold and no flavor ... Guacamole was fresh but it's a little spicy. read more

As a hummus fiend, I've been itching to try Maydan, the restaurant inside the new-ish Maydan Market (kind of like a food hall with different stalls and cuisines). We ordered a lot - it may have been smarter to try their Tawle menu, which features a pre-set menu. The halloumi was SO good, super rich and flavorful, and it honestly paired really well with the muhammara and the hummus. The sweet potato was also crazy rich and buttery, and the shrimp was gone in five minutes. Honestly, we didn't need to order a main, but we got the kebab plate with a chicken and lamb kebab. Both were good but quite pricey for the small portion. Overall, the food here was solid but definitely on the pricier side. read more

Our first time at Maydan Market and it was such a unique experience. The interior is so well designed and each stall well curated We went on a Saturday night and had reservation was so buzzy. We had a reservation at Maydan and were sat promptly. The open flame grills are awesome and it smells amazing throughout the space. The Maydan menu is not too robust but very interesting offerings, including the wine menu which offers a lot of imported options. The food overall was well executed but we felt were at a higher price point for the portion sizes we got. Highlights were the dips and fresh pita bread and the roasted sweet potato Service was a bit slow and not as attentive but we attributed that to the extremely busy night. We're looking forward to coming back to try the other market stalls... definitely a great place to go with a group so you can share more options and the energy is super fun for a great meal and night out. read more

Wow. What a disappointment... My girlfriend and I discovered this food hall last week after going to Highly Likely. We decided to have a date night here and what a mistake that was!! The place is spacious, has an awesome vibe, and the staff were friendly enough - the actual food and drinks, however, were BAAAD. To start, the wine selection was limited. So I had a glass, then we proceeded to order some Tiki drinks. Talk about watered down and over priced!! The wine glasses also tasted of soap and dish water. Gross. My gf ordered the Kao Soi with tofu and gluten free rice noodles. The waitress delivered chicken kao soi instead. My girlfriend timidly asked for the tofu she wanted, which was then delivered with what looked like wheat/egg noodles (not gluten free). When I asked the waitress to query the chef about whether or not the noodles were gluten free, the chef said she didn't know... Didn't know?! Didn't know?!? That's inexcusable. How many people have you poisoned?!! I ordered a Tlayuda... wow. What an affront to Oaxacan cooking. I've been to Oaxaca. It has a beautiful food culture with rich flavors, unctuous ingredients and quality craftsmanship. It is once of the tastiest food destinations on earth!!... These tlayudas, unfortunately, were nowhere near authentic. Or good. And for $25 + tax & tip?? Granted I'm an absolute fool for paying around $30 for something that costs $1-2 in Mexico (or just as much to make at home), but I wanted to have a nice night with my lady so I bit the bullet, Look - if you want to get robbed of your hard earned money (we spent over $120+) in exchange for sub par food and drinks, be my guest! But the atmosphere does not make up for any of what we experienced. And it sucks even more because we live 5 mins from here and this would have been a go-to... if quality, standards, and price had been in place. Maydan market isn't long for this world. I can't see a place like this staying open more than a year or two. read more

Arrived around 6:30pm on Saturday. There's valet and street parking around the building. We were able to find a street parking; walk wasn't very well lit leading up to the building. Reviews are negative about the ordering . It's a little confusing, but doable. There's a sign outside with instructions. QR code to review the menu and then lets you know you can scan QR code at table to order or order directly at each restaurant. When you scan the QR code outside, it pulls up a pdf with 10 pages with lunch and dinner menus. It's a little overwhelming. The Compass Rose menu only has breakfast items, but they do have an evening cocktail menu. We sat down at a table and signed a QR code and it's easier to browse through each restaurant and see exactly what's in stock and can be ordered. You can order from all restaurants at the same time, so we were able to try a little something from each place. You attach your "table number" to your order. You can also change your table number before ordering; we decided to move somewhere more comfortable and noticed not every table clearly showed its table number. We figured since it asked for table number, food would be brought to us but we got text messages to pick up our orders from each place, except for Malena, which delivered to our table. Vesti - we tried the dill and vinegar chips with caramelized onion and cheese dip. It was good, but likely would have been better if it came at the beginning of our meal when we were hungry instead of at the end like dessert. Expected a stronger onion flavor; I think overpowered by the chips and cheese. Malena - Tried the Birria tacos and they were very good! We loved the consumme. Yling Yhang - tried the grilled chicken thigh with chili jam. Very juicy and flavorful from the grill - we really liked the sauce it came with too. Lugyah - Oaxacan cuisine. Their restaurant doesn't have very good signage. My husband got confused and waited there for pick up thinking it was part of Vesti. We tried the Tlayuda. It was a very large portion. Wished there were descriptions of the proteins - we had to google them. It was a little difficult to eat as the beef came on top of the "quesadilla" and the plate was a shallow basket that was difficult to use a knife and fork on. Tried to just fold the meet up inside and use the tortilla like a taco, but it was very messy and leaking all over my hands. Compass Rose: We grabbed two cocktails here. We had to be directed from the part inside to the restaurant to order at their patio and noticed it happens often to other patrons as well. Two drinks cost $50, but at least they were strong. Sook: Browsed the cute little store and had a glass of wine here after dinner. Very unique wines being sold and the person working there was very friendly and had fun facts on each wine. I tried an interesting Amber wine from Georgia. We spent $78 on food only (not drinks) - we were VERY full. Almost wish some of the restaurants had smaller tasting menu size portions so we could try more things without being completely stuffed! I recommend adding better signage for each restaurant with menu signs, not just laminated menus at each counter; allows people to walk around and browse. Maybe even a large menu of all restaurants near entrance would be helpful. Table numbers also need to be more legible and not in tiny red font. read more

Plenty of food courts around LA and plenty of places like Grand Central Market. Now take that idea and put it into a more comfortable location with good ambiance where you don't have to walk from food stall to food stall. Now go one step further, where you can try various cuisines from multiple restaurants all via your table and QR code. We walked in and had no clue what to do, this wonderful woman came right up to us (seeing how confused we looked) and gave us simple directions and then it was time to eat and drink. She was working the room and couldn't have been more helpful. There is Mayadan, as the full-service restaurant, a rotating restaurant (not sure how often it changes) and then a few others to choose from - all with different cuisines. At your table, you can access all of them easily and pick/choose what foods you want to try from any of them via QR code. Couldn't be easier. It's a bit on the pricey side with smaller portions but what isn't these days. Our favorites were the cornbread muffins and the lamb skewers, but everything was great and with so much to try, we'll be back soon. There is valet out front or plenty of parking in the residential area nearby (but it's quite dark on the streets) Quick tip - find your seating first as it get really busy, then worry about what to eat read more

I checked out Maydan Market in Mid-City Los Angeles and it's essentially a beautifully designed food hall that stays busy for a reason. The space is super aesthetic, lively, and feels like a social hub, which makes it a fun spot to gather with friends, even larger groups if you're lucky enough to snag a table. I ordered the jerk chicken from one of the restaurant stalls and paid about $35 for the entrée, which came with rice, one drumstick, and two sides. The food quality was decent and flavorful, though I did feel it was overpriced for the portion. That said, you're clearly paying for the overall experience and ambiance. I liked the QR code ordering system since you can order from your seat and have food delivered directly to you, and I appreciated that water stations were available throughout the market. One thing to note is that mobile ordering requires a physical card, as Apple Pay isn't accepted, so I had to walk to the counter to pay. Service overall felt efficient and organized despite the crowds. Friends ordered from other vendors and were happy with both taste and portions. Parking can be tough since it's tucked into a residential area, so plan accordingly. read more

New concept restaurant located in the West Adams area. The establishment was packed on a Friday night with on-going reservations and walk-ins. It does take a little of bit time to navigate through, but you eventually will feel at ease. Note, there is Maydan which is the more formal "sit down" by reservation only section. Then there's the market aspect, which are all by walk-ins. Both cool concepts, although a bit overwhelming! The food itself was impeccable. We had gotten the pre-fixed menu for $90/person and it was totally worth it. The chicken skewers, hummus, steak, eggplant dip, were all excellent. Ambiance felt like you were in a restaurant, on vacation, and disconnected from reality. Service: 10/10 read more

Love this newer food hall in LA. There are several options and got to try a few of the spots there. Space was great and there was plenty of seating. I tried the kebab plate at the Mediterranean place (Mayden) but it was underwhelming. It was missing the toasted tomatoes. Someone had the fried chicken sandwich from Golden Mountain chicken and loved it. The pizza was also delicious. Cocktails at compass rose were perfectly crafted. You have the option to order at each vendor or from your table. read more

Maydan Market isn't a market at all. It's an upscale food hall with seven restaurants that I counted. One of the restaurants, Maydan, is a Middle Eastern one with a sleek bar counter and booths to sit at --- and a tasting menu. The system for getting food is either use the QR code at a table, order directly at a restaurant and take a number, or sit at a restaurant directly and order there. As we got there early, I opted for a cappuccino at Compass Rose for an afternoon pick-me-up. It was a good coffee but nothing that special. Rather than drink it at Compass Rose, I drank it at a table in the food hall. For a light, early dinner, my wife and I ordered at Sook, which is linked to Maydan restaurant. We ordered Beet Borani and Walnut Casik dips and a chicken shish kebab plate. I ordered at the Sook counter, got a number and soon we had the meal. The Beet Borani and Walnut Casik dips with fresh, hot pita bread were delicious. So too was the chicken shish kebab plate with a flavorful bulgar wheat grain salad, roasted tomato and tart Persian cucumbers. There was a great dipping sauce for the chicken. After dinner, I saw other restaurants and dishes I'd like to try, such as the tlayudah at Lugah'h. The sandwich counter, Vesti, looked great too. The gentleman at Sook who took my order and served us was super friendly, as was the hostess at Maydan (even though we didn't opt to dine at Maydan). The ambience is high energy, lively in a really well-decorated space. It was crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Parking is either valet or street parking. I opted for street parking. I'm keen to return. read more

Great experience for lunch. Ordered at one of the counters, had plenty of tasty dishes. This place has multiple restaurant vendors, including a coffee place outside. Cute place to check out. Would like to go back and try dinner at the restaurant that is closed in the day. Service was responsive despite being kind of fast casual style where you order at the counter and take a seat. read more

Maydan Market - Ambiance - Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I took my son and friends to MAYDAN Market for dinner after his USC Roski graduation, and it was the perfect place to celebrate such a special occasion. Don't let the name MAYDAN Market confuse you. It's a delightful dining experience. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the unique atmosphere and stunning decor. The space feels warm, vibrant, and unlike anywhere else in Los Angeles. Every detail adds to the experience. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group found something they loved, and the dishes were beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Combined with the incredible ambiance, the overall experience was truly top-notch. MAYDAN Market made my son's celebration even more memorable. We can't wait to return. read more

Maydan market is great. The place is a food hall with the hearth in the center firing up food for the whole place. Interesting communal concept. The best part is you can just grab a seat in the middle, it's a free for all. Use QR code and they will bring your order. The only thing here is that some places bring your food and some don't, so it's a bit messy. And honestly, if some places aren't even bringing you food or bussing it, who am I tipping? I guess the cleaning crew. You can make reservations to Maydan, it's a mediterranean restaurant and it was very delicious - this is the only place you can't order from QR if you sit in the middle of the food hall. Everything we had was delicious. The shrimp was super fresh, the steak was really perfectly cooked as well. Yhing hang has good wings and thai bbq meat. Lugya'h's talludas are not to be missed Compass rose has good happy hour drinks read more

From the knowledge of the market to the final resting place for our pallets to finally sit at the main attraction of Maydan after ordering a tequila drink from Sook... The TAWLE: FULL MAYDĀN EXPERIENCE is something that must be tried no matter what you do when you come here but make sure your appetite is ready. This night was loud, decorative and peaceful at the same time. I wish you could smell and taste all the different components that were meant to be shared bite for bite with the lamb, bite for bite with each other... an experience where you discover your own flavors all together. I'm not usually a 5 star person but this went above and beyond for the price. Server was knowledgeable and friendly. Chefs as well when asked questions from us. The food from simple to complex seemed to delicately come together in your own way and the suggested way it's supposed to be eaten. I am definitely going back to trade the mushrooms for chicken and the lamb for the ribeye to redo the experience. read more

Others have noted a few things that make this spot confusing, but I didn't really experience this. Outside there is a sign which explains what to do: walk in and find a table. Then there's a QR code on the table. Scan that and peruse the menus of all of the spots and place your order. Yes, you do have to enter credit card details, but this is just a small step and not ideal perhaps if you're unfamiliar. Also, if you want alcohol, you do have to enter your bday, BUT you can use a drop down to scroll to your birth year and it's a snap from there. (Another reviewer mentioned having to go month by month, which was user error :) We chose drinks from Compass Rose, a pork tamale (savory, simple) from Malena, salad (complex, fresh) from Sook, and a chicken thigh plate (filling, flavorful) from Yhing Yhang. Everything was delicious - truly! Loved my pet nat wine as well. All of the food was brought to our table. I was getting texts saying the food was ready and I could pick it up, so that could have been confusing, except that the food started arriving before I even looked at my phone again. So maybe when it's super busy picking up your food is their backup for when servers aren't available. I found the staff to be helpful and friendly in delivering our plates and checking in. The space is beautiful and I swear the most comfy high top table seats I've ever sat it. I would love to try this place again and explore the menus more! read more
