    Blackened Redfish BLT

    My food was fresh and hot! I do feel like I could have had more bacon.. but hey I guess. There's loads veggies we're good as well. There's loads of parking. Street, lot and paid lots but be mindful this is in the farmers market and depending on when you go, you might be lucked out with that. There's a good bit of seating at the bar, and more all around them! I would definitely try them again, because I feel like it could be better.

    A perfect place to cool down after exploring Dallas Farmers Market. This place is known for some of the best seafood in town and their oysters did not disappoint. I love a good oyster flight but the Wellfeet - MA were by far the best! Friendly service and we watched them shuck each one right in front of us!

    Lobster Roll
    Josh M.

    After four years working around downtown Dallas, I've only recently discovered some of the gems south of the Government District. I tip my hat to developers building up the Farmer's Market and surrounding area; this is a great place to visit! I've visited many of the shops and dined at various establishments, but Rex's is a staple offering family friendly seafood options. Stop by during happy hour for reduced beverages and food. While the presentation is not flashy (paper plates, ketchup packets, etc.) the food is solid and discounted oysters on the half shell are a great way to start! My lobster roll was tasty and the ambiance was chill; just want I wanted. While it can often feel a bit shady going south of 30, I highly recommend stopping by the Farmers Market shops and restaurants! Rex's Seafood Market with happy hour pricing and tasty, affordable offerings is one of the gems that make this venue a great place to visit!

    My little two oysters
    Elisa M.

    Decided to take a trip to the farmers market and enjoy happy hour oysters at Rex's. Sat at the bar, order 1/2 a dozen oysters and a pound of crawfish. The oyster during happy hour are $2 each (I wasn't given an option but folks sitting on the other side of the bar were so not sure how that works), crawfish was $8.99 a pound. Although I got plenty of crawfish and some were a good size, they tasted overcooked and the only seasoning I could taste was what was poured on top of them (not how I prefer my crawfish). Also ordered the kids fish & chips. Nice portions, fries were perfect and the fish was good as well. I probably should have started with the fish & chips as I probably wouldn't have ordered everything else.

    Will return. The French Open is on their four tv monitor (the last match of the day - well past 10 pm in Paris: Džumhur v Alcaraz), so we stopped for a drink. Counter service by a few energetic young people, professional and proficient. They grind their own horseradish, which is great - it tastes so so good. Three kinds of oyster we tried: Great White of MA: light Birch Point of ME: flavorful - our favored Irish Point of PEI: they're good (Prince Edward Island) We'd have more but can't - have an Italian dinner at 6, and we've to go. Does the increasing efficient shipping service makes it possible for anyone to realize their dream business - Dallas, and Texas in that matter is a landlocked region. But what do I know. ... Alcaraz won in four, on his second match point, near 5pm Dallas time. I'd think Friday evening is a hopping time in the city but it feels dead, the mall is pretty empty. Where's everyone? Or it's too early for everybody -:) - my first full day in Dallas. Wishing everyone with a desire to succeed in a biz the best of luck.

    Crawfish Hushpuppies and jalapeño crab bisque
    Lia B.

    Fantastic service when dining solo at the counter on a Friday afternoon. Water was refilled quickly, check ins were unobtrusive, enjoyed a flavorful late lunch. Hushpuppies were stuffed with crawfish, crab bisque was shell free. Enjoyed the hustle of the dining hall from my counter-side perch.

    They have a nice little corner carved out for themselves in the Dallas Farmers Market building. While I have been a fan of Rex's for years, this was my first visit to their Dallas Farmers Market location. They have managed one of the hardest things to do in the industry, and that is to maintain consistency across locations. I ordered my favorite thing they do, and that is the Connecticut style Lobster Roll. Just like at their other locations, it is about as good as it gets in this part of the country! The service was phenomenal as well! Review #2015

    Charboiled Oysters
    Jennifer T.

    We ordered raw oysters, which were fresh and delicious. The charbroiled oysters, however, were bland and could have used more seasoning. The scallops with risotto were good, but I don't think the cheese topping was necessary. The staff were attentive and provided good service.

    Jumbo lump crab cake
    Chase C.

    Great menu selection of dishes served with easy cleanup in mind. The service was fast and the food arrived hot! The ambience is a Food hall don't expect glasses, plates and waiters. We started with the shrimp and cheese chips app 8/10 The Atlantic Salmon was $18 with good value and cooked right! 9/10 Lump Crab cake was definitely lumpy with crab 9/10 for the value. Id ask for butter to dip the crab in next time. Deal alert they have $2 Oysters M-F 3-6

    Tuna Nachos
    Claudia S.

    My friend and I got lucky to find bar seats during a busy weekend so very grateful!!! Service was real quick too!!! The lobster in the roll was really fresh and delicious with the butter. I just wish they used different bread that wasn't so soft because it got soggy. Still a delicious lobster roll. My friend loved her tuna nachos. They also sell wine, which I loved paired with the seafood!!! Definitely a staple seafood restaurant in the Dallas Farmers Market you must try!!!

    Crab cake sandwich.  Damn good!

    Still a great place to get seafood and have a drink at the Dallas Farmers Market. Friendly staff, good service and delicious food!

    Rex's always has friendly service and delicious food! We love to stop here when we are visiting the Dallas Farmers Market. It's a treat to get great sea food while also enjoying music and people watching. It can get pretty busy, but even the patio is a great vibe on any given day!

I personally thought the presentation of the salmon was too much and a bit odd. I wish there was more sauce (or at least a side of sauce). The risotto was too bland, but the brussel sprouts were tasty and lemony. The salmon had a great crust, but it was too undercooked for me and wasn't the best salmon I've had. The filet mignon was ordered medium rare, but too us it seemed a lot more rare and wasn't seasoned well. The mashed potatoes were delicious. Our server was kind and helpful.

This place is located in Asian Times Square which I've never been to and embarrassingly didn't even know was there, it's a Plaza with Hong Kong market and the equivalent of a bizarre inside with a bunch of little shops offering different services and merchandise. The Plaza also has shops like Paris Baguette, 85° Bakery and several restaurants including an Asian food court which regrettably I did not check out before we left. The good news is I found the wrappers I was looking for and we bought some yummy Asian snacks while we were there as well, this Market has a large selection of Asian Foods, fresh meat and seafood.

Produce is fresh, and another big plus is that checkout lines are usually not long, which makes the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

There…read morearen't many places here that serve this style of Cantonese food authentically, and this one easily stands out for both quality and execution. The prices are slightly on the higher side, but the ingredients are fresh, the portions are reasonable, and every dish we ordered was cooked exceptionally well. As someone who cooks Cantonese food regularly and has eaten extensively across Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Malaysia, and Singapore, I can honestly say the standard here exceeds most Cantonese restaurants in the area. The chef is from Guangzhou, and it definitely shows. The Beef Hor Fun (Dry Fried Beef Rice Noodles) was excellent. The wok hei was fragrant without being overly smoky, the noodles weren't greasy, and the bean sprouts were still crisp. That's the benchmark for a well-executed hor fun. The Salted Fish Chicken & Eggplant Clay Pot was another standout. The eggplant had clearly been lightly fried before being braised, giving it a wonderful texture--soft but not mushy, fragrant, and not overly oily. It paired perfectly with a bowl of white rice. My only minor comment is that I personally prefer a stronger salted fish flavor, having enjoyed this dish in many places across Southeast Asia. That's purely personal preference rather than a criticism. The biggest surprise of the night was the 香顶面. I didn't even get a photo because we finished it before I remembered! It was incredibly fragrant, the shrimp were very fresh, and the flavors were unlike anything I've had elsewhere in DFW. Definitely a must-order. The restaurant itself is small, with only about six tables, giving it a cozy neighborhood feel. Despite its size, they offer impressively fresh seafood and dishes that are prepared with great attention to detail. Overall, this is a fantastic find. The pricing reflects the quality of the ingredients and cooking, and it's well worth it if you're looking for authentic Cantonese cuisine rather than the usual Americanized Cantonese fare. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu. 5 stars. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates true Cantonese cooking.

Lots of jalapeños but they weren't really spicy so it wasn't detrimental to enjoyment of dish. We got a small our first time and it was definitely enough for 3 people - Salted fish chicken eggplant: tasty and aromatic dish, Angela one of the owners said it's a super traditional canto dish. Eggplant was well cooked and the flavors were solid. Nothing mindblowing but good home cooking, prob would've been better over white rice. - Scallion chicken (half): pretty tender but flavor didn't really penetrate all the way through... probably the weakest dish both times we came. White meat not the juiciest I've had sadly. - Garlic fried eggplant: had this the second time we came because of a seafood allergy at the table and it was so good, one of our faves for sure. - Laziji (spicy fried chicken): MIL said this is probably the best version of this dish she's had in DFW. Really good and quite spicy so beware! - Razor clams: on the pricier side but really well flavored and super fresh. - Garlic butter prawns (or something like that): so well fried, huge, and delicious. You just can't go wrong with anything prawn related on the menu. Love that white rice is priced super reasonably here (50 cents for a decently sized individual bowl). Will be back!
