Coming from Boston, I had heard the news that Time Out Market is closing its doors (in both…read morelocations!) in the next week, and I was looking forward to seeing what the Chicago food hall looked like. I was surprised to see that the website does allow reservations for large groups, so we booked through Resy a few days before coming. When we arrived at Fulton Market, it took a few tries but we happily found street parking. It was a little bit overwhelming when we first walked in. It feels "bigger" than the original food hall in Lisboa or the one in Boston - not necessarily in square footage, but primarily in energy. It was very busy and especially loud, and there was a DJ booth in the corner that felt closer to a club than a restaurant. I'm guessing part of this might be because it was a Friday night, but curious if it's been busier than normal since the announcement of the market's impending closure. The "reservation" system felt nominal at best, as there weren't any tables set up when we got there - by the time I was able to flag down staff for the food hall, it would have taken quite a while for them to find seats and move them together. In the end we were able to find a corner that worked out pretty well. Similar to the Boston location, you can order online. It didn't feel prominently advertised, as the food stalls themselves all had long lines and were pretty understaffed. In addition, after ordering online, there was no notification that the order was ready for pick-up (for several of the stalls). And while TOM is in a pretty central part of Chicago, the food felt spectacularly expensive for what you were getting. Pretty much everything was over $20 (before tax + tip) for an okay amount of food. On top of that, in our large 15+ person group, the vast majority of us felt that the food was definitively below average quality. Mine in particular was Bill Kim Ramen Bowl's tofu rice bowl. It was a depressing mix of unseasoned tofu cubes, dry arugula, kimchi, plain white rice with no sauce, a handful of pickled veggies, and a half-avocado that wasn't even sliced. It tasted about how it looks. None of that surprises me, but it felt like a far cry from the Lisboa concept, where I was a repeat customer for the high-quality food by distinguished chefs at extremely affordable prices. I'm glad I went, but won't be especially sad to see it go.

Last time got the Veggie Ramen. A bunch of noodles in shoyu broth. That's a broth made from soy. Came with lots of vegetables full of flavor. There was cabbage, cilantro, eggs which I left off, marinated bean sprouts, mushrooms, radish, scallions, and tofu. Filling bowls. It's kind of expensive but these are bowls packed full of stuff.

I ordered from the kiosk and the domestic wagyu donburi was delicious. Although the portion size doesn't look enormous, this is packed full of rice with a generous amount of beef. The beef brisket texture was fairly good, but the flavor was excellent with just the right amount of sweetness and saltiness in a sauce full of umami. The sliced wagyu beef was even better, perfectly tender and flavorful. Surprisingly the miso soup was full of flavor, and went great with the toasted garlic, pickle radish, pickle cabbage, and tamago. Despite being sides, these were all done very well. Overall, worth coming here for the delicious wagyu donburi. You get a generous sized portion that's delicious and very reasonably priced.

Other levels have 2-3, maybe 4 stores. There is an Asian-inspired food place on the lobby level (I didn't try it). Te'amo, a well-known tea spot is located on level 2. The Hershey store is located on the lobby level as well (separate entrance). Te'amo - Waited about 5 minutes before an employee appear from the back to prepare my order that I placed through the kiosk. The tea was decent. The employees in Akira and the Lego Store was excellent. I was greeted immediately and offered assistance. Even some small talk about what brought me in and offering their name and future assistance if required. For me, there is no excitement to return. Hard pass next time I am in Chicago. The highlight was the Lego store which is what drew me to the Water Tower originally. I am Lego geek. This place reminds me of old Route 66 in the Cars movie #dead.
