The food is the star of the show. Their Thai dishes balance spice and sweetness just right, the pad thai was tangy, nutty, and loaded with flavor. The Vietnamese offerings, The Huế dishes were a standout: rich broths, intense spice, and beautifully presented on the plate. The Korean BBQ rice bowls hit hard with rich, umami-forward marinades and perfectly cooked meat.

As for drinks, their American coffee was strong and smooth. nothing bitter or burnt, just solid, clean flavor. But the pink matcha stole the spotlight. It’s not just Instagram-worthy; it was creamy, subtly sweet, and had a delicate floral note that made it unique and addictive.

I love Pop-up District. I friend told me I should check it out for a club night and I will be back! The food is great. There are options for all palates from the tame to adventurous. Mild to spicy. The service is really good all of the food service people from the baristas, the cooks, servers & bussers are top-notch. Very well run.

If I had any complaints, it would be the pricing on the specialty barista drinks, which is a little on the high side, especially in a shopping center with at least two more specialty tea shops and in comparison with the other food prices. That being said, the baristas are helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere! Please note that half of the restaurant is lit like a restaurant dining, lounge/club atmosphere and the rest is lit more like a cafe. It's interesting and fun. You could definitely do date night there. Parties and family gatherings. Please note that at 8 or 9pm (Friday and Saturday, I don't know about the rest of the nights) the volume of the music increases to lounge volume and at 9 or 10pm the volume increases to club level. The DJs I've heard so far ranged from 90s -00s hip-hop, EDM, Drum & Bass and club mixes w Kpop. But check the calendar as they seem to mix it up. If you're coming bring your dancing shoes and friends. Typical dress before 8 is casual. After 8 is...

I recently visited the Pop Up District, and I must say the food hall is quite impressive! There is plenty of space to sit down, making it a comfortable environment to enjoy your meals. The food hall features four different restaurants: Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, and a pastry and coffee shop called Doppo.

I tried food from the Korean restaurant, and I enjoyed it; the flavors were good. We also ordered the drunken noodles from the Thai restaurant, which tasted okay, but I found the price and portion to be overly expensive for what we received. In my opinion, the overall prices of the food were on the high side.

If you are considering making the trip and driving at least 30-45 minutes, I would suggest checking out a different restaurant where you can get better portions for your money. However, I must mention that I really liked the matcha latte at Doppo—it was definitely a highlight of my visit.

Overall, while the experience at Pop Up District was enjoyable, I would recommend being cautious with your choices due...
