This was a pretty neat spot that I came across when visiting my brother. It has many different foods for anyone that wants to get their grub on. I was surprised with how kid friendly the place was too. I loved that about it! A lot of indoor play areas for the kiddos while parents and friends can come together to grab a bite. I recommend stopping by here if you're also in the mood for a beer or Asian food too. They had a lot of Asian cuisine to pick from.

Great tempura from Ka Udon. Delicious bulgogi onigiri and seaweed salad at the "convenience" store

Ok, back to loving this place! HAHAHA! Don't judge me! I got over my no open tabs issue (I mean, I am still not happy about it and I still think it's an idiotic decision), but this place is just a foodie wonderland, especially the Japanese grocery store.

Asian Food hall! WHAT!?! How I wish there were more of these. Urban District Market is home to an Asian Grocery store, food hall with about six different stations to order from and a bar. Additionally, the market sits on the Greenway and has a lovely outdoor dining area with a dog park and playground attached. We ordered the Bulgogi Bim Bim Bop. Loved that we were able to customize our bowl and add as many toppings as we liked at no extra cost. Fun environment to grab a quick bite or host a party. All service is self order and pick up at the respective station counter.

Not as packed and not nearly as overwhelming as the Optimist Hall but Urban District has free parking (not limited to just 90 minutes). Not as many vendors but still a great way to spend an evening. When we arrived on a late Sunday afternoon, there were a few families with their kids playing in the bouncy area and having a good time. We did the loop, checking out the food vendors before making choices. A cook-to-order butcher, Mexican, burgers, Asian-fusion pasta, dumplings, ramen and a large Asian packaged food market with coolers of wine, sake, beer and soju plus omakase and sushi. Hard to choose but we did. With drinks and food ordered, we found a comfortable table. Most of power outlets and there is a free wifi. It's a nice space and I can see if becoming quite busy and fun. We'll return. [Review 2098 of 2024 - 3767 in North Carolina - 23117 overall]

First time here. And I must admit: I want to try everything. I was a little overwhelmed. But here's what I ordered., Beef udon soup which is really good., Veggies steamed dumplings but I got Kim chi instead: wasn't my favorite. Fried pork and veggies dumplings which I like Chives pancakes with shrimp and squid; this wasn't my favorite at all. It tasted off. The seafood doesn't smell fresh and it went soggy very quick. Tuna and eggs onigri: this is a nope, very dry. Rice doesn't seem to be done cooking. All and all there wasn't much customer and vendors interaction: you go to a machine. Place your order and pay. They will text you once it's done.. place is spacious, every clean and a good big area for the kids to play at. A bar for you to buy a drink or two made by a bartender. A cooler full of fun drinks So give it a try.

I've been here more than a few times per my check ins, so it's time for the review. I think this is a great addition to the Noda area. Urban District Market promotes community, fun for family and a place to eat, WITH coffee. I personally do not drink coffee, but I know that's an important factor for people. They have family events, brunch buffet, a play area for kids, a lovely selection of overseas treats. The diversity is off the charts. That's how you start to breed community in Charlotte. Of course there's also a bar for adults. This is also conveniently across from Seoul Market. I personally do ni like Seoul but it is convenient for those who do. Which is ALSO where the kid-free speakeasy is located. The location is prime. Very cohesive for those who visit. In the same vicinity as other vendors of variety such as fitness, boutique retail, and beer. It's approved in my book!

Aesthetic: Hip food hall with a variety of great food vendors, coffee, bar, and a great little to-go market. Experience: I had a little too much fun at the market when I tried this spot for the first time. Their Japanese market was super impressive, and felt like going to 7-11 in Tokyo. I was so excited with the variety of Japanese sandwiches, snacks, sweets, and onigiri, it's super unique to have this selection in the US! We tried the egg salad combo sando, tuna mayo onigiri and spicy mayo onigiri, and they were all delicious! I'd honestly eat here everyday if I worked nearby. Conclusion: This is a must go food hall, I highly recommend adding it to your CLT list!
