Nestled in the heart of Long Island City, a new kind of culinary journey is waiting for you. Located at 2717 42nd Road, our Asian-themed food hall is more than just a place to eat—it is a sanctuary for food enthusiasts and a vibrant celebration of the diverse flavors of the East.

A Curated Culinary Tapestry
What makes our space a true gem is the carefully curated selection of vendors, each representing a unique corner of Asia. We have brought together the best of the best, ensuring that every visit offers a new discovery.
From the bold, numbing spices of Szechuan street food and the rich, soul-warming broths of Yunnan rice noodles to the iconic "cha chaan teng" classics of Hong Kong, our hall is a living map of flavor. Whether you’re craving a crispy Taiwanese bento, a steaming bowl of Vietnamese Pho, or a hand-crafted Okinawa-style rice ball, our vendors bring their heritage to your plate with uncompromising authenticity.

Rooted in Culture and Community
We take immense pride in being an establishment designed, owned, and operated by individuals of Asian descent. Our vendors aren't just chefs; they are storytellers passionate about sharing their traditions through the universal language of food.
The atmosphere here is inspired by the electric energy of a bustling Asian night market. When you step through our doors, you’re greeted by the aromatic scents of grilled satay, the rhythmic sound of woks, and a modern, inviting space that feels like a home away from home.

Something for Every Occasion
Whether you are a local professional looking for a quick, high-quality lunch, a group of friends embarking on a weekend "food crawl," or a couple seeking a cozy spot for date night, we have you covered.
  • Dine-In: Enjoy our vibrant social setting and comfortable seating.
  • On-the-Go: Grab a refreshing Rice Yogurt or a Guokui flatbread for a delicious snack while you explore LIC.
  • Takeout: Bring the authentic taste of Asia back to your home or office.

Experience the Journey
You don’t need a plane ticket to experience the best of Asian cuisine. Join us at 2717 42nd Road and let your taste buds travel across the continent.
