The Van Aken District was such a nice find while I was casually driving around. I checked out this…read morefood court recently and was really impressed with everything it had to offer. There are tons of food options including pizza, pasta, poutine, sandwiches, salads, and a huge variety of desserts. It's definitely one of those places where everyone can find something they like which makes it great for groups. I decided to try the chicken shawarma poutine, and even though it sounded a little different at first, it ended up being absolutely delicious. The fries were crispy, the chicken was flavorful, and the toppings all came together perfectly. I noticed a lot of other unique dishes at different stalls too which makes me want to go back and try more. The prices were very reasonable as well especially for the quality and portion sizes. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. There was live music playing, which gave the whole place such a lively and fun vibe. You can even order a beer and just walk around or head outside to enjoy it in the fresh air. Between the food variety, affordable prices, and the relaxed but energetic setting, I think this spot is perfect for a casual meal or even a night out with friends. I'll definitely be going back!

I usually get the combo #4, which is chicken teriyaki and sauteed shrimp. You can get steamed veggies with it (cabbage, broccoli, carrots) or not, and your choice of fried rice or steamed rice. Their Maki rolls (Japanese spring rolls) are good too, but sometimes they've been sitting around for a while. At the end, the line cook will ask you if you want sauce. This is teriyaki sauce that he'll pour over top of your dish. Definitely say yes to this. I sometimes ask for 2 ladels. : )

An order specifying extra meat and no vegetables contained less than a single serving of meat and half of an undersized container stuffed with shredded cabbage.

This is a good alternative to Subway, which does not use a grill. I've been to the Burlington, MA location (near my home) several times and found their subs to be quite good for food court standards, IMO. The Chicken Philly tasted pretty darn good, which was grilled hot to order with very thin white meat chicken, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and melted cheese on a soft white sub roll with mayo. The gourmet fries with skins were hot and crispy and not salted (thanks!). Also, I got triple punches on my frequent sub card since it was Thursday.

They're lucky I didn't consume the jalapenos, took a few bites of my sandwich and finally came across what I thought was an odd looking pickle, so I opened my sandwich up to find that they were jalapenos, not pickles. They're lucky employees need to be more cautious and pay more attention to the food they make, especially if an allergy is made known to them.

My husband and I were here most recently on Black Friday 2025, and although the mall had mostly vacant storefronts, many people were walking around. The mall was clean and maintained, and a Christmas train was set up for children. My husband made an analogy and said that the mall reminded him of an old person who was dying but was in a nursing home that took great care of them (!). I needed to use the women's restroom, and an employee kindly told me its location. The restroom was located past the food court, which contained only some restaurants. The restroom looked old but was fairly clean and worked. During this shopping trip, I shopped in the Boscov's, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Shoe Dept. Encore. I most liked the Boscov's.

The interior is very pretty for a mall, and there are cute gathering areas in front of two anchor stores. Many storefronts in the interior of the mall are vacant, and finding a reason to come shop is difficult. The mall is owned by Namdar Realty Group, a known slum lord. Unfortunately, the anchors contribute to the issues. The former Macy's is used by U-Haul for self-storage with part being offered for redevelopment. Rural King does not open into the mall. JCPenney is in the process of closing, which is sad as it's a nicer store for this chain. Boscov's will be the only anchor with access from in the mall once JCPenney's closes. Dick's remains as a junior anchor. The food court is still decent and includes Chick-Fil-A and China Max, along with others. It's a shame a mall this nice looking is in this condition, with empty storefronts everywhere. The future of this mall is uncertain at best.
