Trade Food Hall — Restaurant in Irvine

Outdoor food court with numerous gourmet options.

Two Birds - the fried chicken is amazing!

Gyro King - excellent Gyro Plate with the best Hummus I've ever had. It's creamier than regular Hummus. However I don't care for the sauce they use on the Swordfish kebabs

Ground House - The Ono Burger is the best I've ever had. Ask for side of teriyaki aioli for your fries!

Portside - The following items are excellent... surf n turf burrito, surf n turf fajitas, fish n chips, Mac n Chowder. The whitefish burrito is just ok. The salad is better than the rice. The salad dressing goes well with the grilled vegetables too. The blackened salmon is too salty (and it also didn't sit well in my stomach).

Dos Chinos - The Stoner Burrito, and Stoner Bowl are excellent.

Broken Rice - Asian rice bowls like teriyaki chicken are custom made to your specs. The "popular sauce" is great. It's a combination of creamy cilantro and bbq sauces. The peanut sauce is not that great. The teriyaki sauce is too tarty and not sweet enough. It's closer to a soy sauce. I didn't like the Brussels sprouts because they weren't fully cooked.

There's also a bar there with nice craft beers.

For dessert, grab a donut from...

I feel like the restaurants are great. There's a nice social atmosphere to it, and even a bar. Let me complain is it just seems like the management of the shopping center could do a lot better. Sometimes there are cars parked in the what that make it hard to find a parking spot, when actually these cars shouldn't be there because the business park next door doesn't have enough parking. If they enforce this, it would be easier to get in and out of the shopping center. Also the area itself is not kept up very well sometimes. There are beat up heat lamps that sometimes work and sometimes don't. There are areas that haven't been cleaned very well. However, I am reading that maybe they're going to have some events here in the near future and maybe they're planning on rejuvenating things for the spring which I think will be great. We are still a couple of restaurant positions...

One of my closet friends took me here for lunch and it was absolutely amazing. The fact that you have so many options to choose from kills me every time. You can legit eat here for about 2 weeks straight and try something new every time. Not only from different restaurants but from different parts of the world. This is a very upscale version of a Mall food court. I had the poke bowl place that had their own interpretation of spam masubi. It was to die for and made me go back time after time just for that alone. If you are in Irvine you need to stop by and check out the selections they...
