Meet Our Exceptional Vendors

At 2717 42nd Road, we believe that a food hall is only as vibrant as the people behind the counters. Our mission has always been to bring the most authentic, soul-warming flavors of Asia to the heart of LIC, and that wouldn’t be possible without our incredible community of vendors.

From the bustling night markets of Chengdu to the cozy tea houses of Taiwan, our partners bring more than just food—they bring heritage, craftsmanship, and a passion for hospitality. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on the 10 culinary masters that make our food hall a true destination.
