It is a large market and a great place to spend some time on weekends. Besides, I have a great experience when Im around in this market to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. The staff was very accommodating and pleasant. They do offer good quality of the products that were remarkable and satisfying to buy. Thanks!

Enjoyed the aesthetics and variety of food here. A good place for a photoshoot even during these quarantine times.

First time here. Parking is $3 for the first 90 min. I dont know after that. We actually went there for the Donut Man. Their famous strawberry donut or any fruit donut are out of season. Otherwise they had jelly donuts as their filling. We settled for a classic donut and cinnamon (meh).Theres a lot of good looking restaurants though. We went to the pupusas one and the filipino bowl (Sari Sari) after the Donut Man. The pupusas were good (bean and cheese and chicken) but their chicken tamale was perfect. The masa and chicken were juicy and not dry. Sari Sari was ok. Too expensive for the medium sized bowl. I ordered the manok lechon which was two rotisserie chicken pieces, egg, and rice. Minimal flavor.Seems like theres other good eateries here but time was restrained. Otherwise, wed spend more time. Pandemic approved.

Absolutely love the food here. Big portions, fresh ingredients, flavorful.The fries are delicious and very filling. Great to share with someone. Shrimp tacos are bomb. Try it.Great customer service and parking in the back. Also extra seating in the back.Today I ordered 3 tacos, crispy chicken, All very delicious and flavorful.All very delicious and flavorful.

Its right in the heart of downtown LA! Historical building with a modern touch to it. Really clean, seating available outside. The pizza is amazing!!! They have so many different foods and snacks to choose from. & lots of parking, of course you pay but thats normal. I love this

Excellent place to spend a morning and afternoon. Lots of places to eat, a few shops to browse. Really cool iconic Los Angeles experience. Must do!

We love this restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious and the wait staff always pleasant. We particularly like who we affectionately call, Bubbles (for her bubbly personality). And you must go for a birthday celebration (and be sure they know)--hilarious music and delectable treats!

Love the vibe here. Tons of food and drink options and right next to Angel Flight. Fun fun

This place is good! Best food Ive had since moving to LA, very nice and beautiful place. Food is tasty, customer service is 10/10 I would put if possible. The staff is really nice and polite. Each of these items contains flavors that make my mouth happy and wanting more. Some of the things I love about this restaurant are that the ingredients are fresh, the food is delicious. I would recommend to anyone! Friends and family definitely!

A little bit of food heaven. If youre looking for variety this is the place to go. There are many options. A few examples of cuisines you can find are; Japanese, Chinese, Filipino (rice bowls (so good!)), Mexican, Salvadorean, and many many more. You can even buy fruits & veggies,, alcohol, candy, and jewelry. A one stop shop if you ask me!

This place is amazing. I came here with my friend during restaurant week. We selected the restaurant week menu and it did not disappoint. I believe we had over 10 different tastings. We had coconut soup with tofu, cornbread muffin, oysters and shrimp, burrata beet salad, duck wings, ribs, cod, chicken, Brussel sprouts, mac n cheese, key lime pie. Absolutely amazing. Ill definitely go back again. Very impressed. Ayesha Curry really did a phenomenal job with this restaurant. The entire staff are unbelievably helpful, professional, and well versed on all dishes.

Great HH! We had $1 oysters. Hubby said they were some of the best hes had. We started with 8 and ended up ordering 8 more. We also tried the wings. They were good but more like a piece of fried chicken rather than a wing. That sounds weird! but they were super crispy and didnt have sauce on them. Overall, a good experience and good food so Id go back!

Good food. Hands down.If youre deciding on whether or not to come here, no discussion is needed. Just do it!This is the second time Ive been here and the atmosphere, the food, the service, everything is absolutely top notch.Between my wife and I we got the fig, olive, and goat cheese pita appetizer, a peach salad (special), lamb moussaka, and duck breast (rotisserie special)To finish it off we each had a glass of wine, galaktoboureko (filled filo), and Loukomadas (donuts)Everything we had tasted AMAZING!We will be back again!!!

Amazing staff theyre always super nice and inviting and just make you happy. I must say its my number one favorite spot! Nothing like them! Always ask for extra sauce and some honey for any plate you order I guarantee they wont disappoint!! Always super happy to visit them! Love their chicken!!

My husband and I visited Grand Central Market on its opening day. This cafe is absolutely fantastic. The bread and pastries are wonderful, and the sandwiches, soups and salads are excellent. We had the Cream of Tomato soup, which was served in a sourdough bread bowl. It was delicious!!! Im so happy that Grand Central Market is in the neighborhood. One of the owners, Gerrard, is very well known in the community. He sells the best bread you can buy at the Sunday Farmers Market in Montrose. He and his business partner (whose name escapes me, I apologize) really know good food. Their expertise is on full display at France Cafe. We highly recommend France Cafe!!!

Tried Ramen Hood here. Very delicious. I recommend the broccoli plate and the avocado toast

This is a review of Grand Central as a whole, but not specifically aimed at any individual establishment in it.Parking: Super easy. Plenty of parking on Broadway, averaging about $10. Easy to find a lot within a block or two.Food: Just about every genre of food native to SoCal immigrants is represented. Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Vietnamese, Salvadoran, and vegan health food. Its all good, looks delicious and is priced well. Long lines at most places.Drinks: Only beer, from what I saw. You cant take it outside to the outer seating area.Seating: Sucks. Not enough to handle all the traffic. One person needs to stand in line while another makes continuous rounds to find seats.As a whole, its awesome. For a purist though, its street food for hipsters. For a real street food vendor experience, head two blocks down to the toy district and experience the cart vendors in the alley shopping district .

The Central Market is a really cool place. You can sense a very friendly environment all around. The staff is constantly on the move cleaning around and trying to keep the place tidy and clean. Theres a vast array of food options that you can choose and the prices arent bad. I ate at a Japanese place and I spent $30 DLS for a lunch that included sushi, fried veggies (I forgot the name) Oh, yeah! Tempura! Giozza. Delicious giozza, and a plate with beef, rice and other stuff I dont remember. And a soda too! The food lasted until dinner. When I made my way back home, many miles away from downtown L.A. I still had some tempura to snack on. So I think it was a fair price. What is very unfortunate is that the businesses dont allow for people to sit at the stools by the bar so theres high demands for seats and not enough available.You have to hunt for a table while standing uncomfortably next to someone who seems to be almost done with their table and use very much your telepathy and your sight language to avoid getting in an argument with someone about a table. Not that people are aggressive or fighting for the tables, because everybody is very educated and courteous, but I guess you never know when you might come across Karen and get involved in a nasty fight over a table to eat.I would suggest (being as light as I am) that people shared their table. For example, there was a man sitting on a table by himself and my GF and I stood next to him, declaring informally that we were next to take that table. 14 seconds after...no, 5 seconds after that a couple stood behind us threatening with their bright eyes to take the table that we had already put our eyes on. Then the problem was that our food was still being prepared. So my girl and I organized: she chose to stay and guard the table while I went for the food. It took me about ten minutes to come back because the ladies at the food place were still preparing the salmon sushi. So, when I had the food I went back and saw my girl sitting at a different table and a family of four sitting at our table. I sat down and asked her why she changed seats (ours was a bit close to the trash bin). She told me that she initially had sat at our table and then the one where she currently was also became available and only had two chairs. So she, being as polite as she is, offered to sit at the table with two seats and give them the chair that had four seats. That is a great display of courtesy, class and citizenship. Anyway, we had to rush out to the train station, so we didnt finish our food and just packed it back in the bag, cleaned our table, threw away our trash in the bin, and we were out to our next destination.

I really enjoyed the food! I have eaten two things, their Greek salad and one of their meet and rice plates and I loved thyme both!I just moved to the area and Im so glad I found this little place.Its not some amazingly beautiful place, we just ordered to go and made an at home movie night date!You can eat inside the restaurant but its definitely not date night place lol

Love love love the Pupusas and Empanadas, quick professional service. Congrats to my fellow guanacos for their success with this eatery! There Halo Halo at the Filipino Rice Bowl is a MUST, and my brother got cold noodles. It looked good. Cops are reinforcing masks and the tables are cleaned off often. Much appreciated!

First time here (I know I know, bad local) and had a really great dinner. Every item is delicious, service is top notch, and atmosphere is nice. We were under dressed (found a restaurant near the punch line comedy club) but didnt feel uncomfortable with it. Great selection of wine. Known for their lamb chops. Also recommend the moussaka. On the pricier end, 3 $$$ seems right. Will definitely come back.

This place has been our go to place for Persian style pizza (Makhlut). The owner is a very nice and friendly person. We always order by phone and pick up after 20 minutes. They deliver also. Their pizzas are always hot and delicious. Parking is very small and sometimes hard to find a parking.

A great day in LA involves coming to GC Market and breezing away the day munching on treats from the stores and perusing the racks of the many great stores here. Not all of them are open now due to covid, though.

It has a little bit of everything. Diverse in food and clothing. A market all its own!!

I love eating at this place, food is delicious and they are always very nice to customers

Boring food spot.Overpriced vendors and not a huge bustling market scene at all.If you are coming as a tourist, there is better to be found.

We absolutely LOVED this place! Donut Man is too delicious to describe in words. The ceviche I had was fresh and priced fairly with a good size portion. The taco selection was in abundance and they had a nice selection of vegan choices for my friend.

30 or 40 different entrees impeccable incredible service at each individual booth or bar really worth trying

The place has completely changed. I used to go once a week for produce and there was a GREAT selection of fruits and vegetables to choose from. There were multiple fresh produce vendors. Now there is only 1 produce vendor and the fruits and vegetables were old and limp. The lady at the cash register was not nice. Wont be going back again in this life time!!!

This spot is very similar to Anaheim Packing District. Tons of food spots and some grocery/merchandise stalls. The variety is good. Theyre is a Ramen joint, a couple of Mexican places, a juice bar, donuts, and more! Parking is nightmarish and i think there are a couple of new battle scars on the car now, but its a pretty cool hangout spot as long as it isnt crowded.

Good food. Hands down.If youre deciding on whether or not to come here, no discussion is needed. Just do it!This is the second time Ive been here and the atmosphere, the food, the service, everything is absolutely top notch.

What a nice venue I stumbled upon. All kinds of good eats. The food Drew me in and I bought jewelry while there. The guy at the jewelry counter was really nice. Reminded me of the small town life I miss sometimes. Im looking forward to becoming a regular.

Great place for when everyone in your family or group has different cravings.

Such a cool place to explore If you are visiting the area. So many different vendors and great atmosphere. Great place to relax and enjoy a beer! Will definitely be going again.

I loved the vibes back in November when i visited it Not sure now with covid what you can enjoy! Live food cooking, fresh produce and beautiful atmosphere

Come here for some good eats around lunch time. Definitely a great place to come with a group of friends or even alone. So many different places to eat in one location. I absolutely love it, the atmosphere is fantastic, always something different to try. At first it may seem overwhelming, but you’ll surely find something here that will satisfy your tastebuds!

Great place to try new foods or if you are a foodie this is the place for you. However, I felt that it didn’t have enough sitting for the Sunday rush. Many people were eating standing up, blocking the walk ways. Other than that I recommend Grand Central Market as a place to hang out and eat with family and friends.

I absolutely enjoy their dishes and customer service, great area close to my residence. The cashiers are always super friendly. Will come back again.

Love LoVE LOvE LOVE this place.Oh WOW. Plan on spending the whole dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyThis is an event not a stop over. Bring MoNeY and plan on SPENDING ITCome hungry and be sure to hit the taco place. This is an amazing place. HUGE and fun.

Its nice for good lunch. They are working hard to keep it safe and clean. Seating is outside; but the workers are so diligent... someone moves from a table the table and seats are totally disinfecting

Love this place, many amazing restaurants and great atmosphere

Everyone once in a while you find a hidden gem. This is one of them! Extremely delicious Korean style wings and sides. Friendly management is a big bonus.I cant wait to show my friends this place!

We went here for dinner tonight and it was so good!! The staff there is very kind, polite and courteous... not only did they provide us delicious food but they gave us more sides than we ordered on the house!! This has been our local favorite during this pandemic, they are always thinking of others and provide yummy food..

I love this visiting this market when I am in DTLA. Its always super busy at the weekend and queues for the vendors are always very long. So my advice is to go during the week instead if you can.Lots of food stalls available including Mexican, Chinese, Pasta, as well as stalls selling fruit, vegetables, chillies etc.A must for me is a visit to Eggslut for their amazing breakfast sandwiches.Its also directly opposite the historic Bradbury building so you can combine a visit to both locations.

Outstanding indoor/outdoor food court with some of the best fast casual food in DTLA. Right across the street from Angel’s flight. Whenever I’m not sure what I want to eat, I head there. With 20 something options across a wide breadth of cuisines, you can’t go wrong.

Lots of different food...delicious ,special and delicious Carnitas Morelia...puro michoacan..!!

One of the definite perks of working in Downtown LA is the Grand Central Market. Established in 1917 as the ground floor attachment to the Homer Laughlin Building, its the oldest and largest public market in Shaky Town. The location was chosen because of its close proximity to Bunker Hill and the Angels Flight Railway. If you visit one, you should partake in the other, as youre experiencing LA history to the fullest.The demographics of GCM has changed over the years. Vendors have come and go, as the market is constantly evolving to fit the needs and ever changing population. The merchants and consumers are now mostly Hispanic.Their mission - to celebrate the cuisines and cultures of Los Angeles. Their commitment is to preserve the legacy of the historic downtown landmark, to bring the communities together in one location, and nurture the next generation of local businesses.

Open with social distancing !! Nothing very exciting about it ! It’s just about local feels and good food

Yummy food with lots of choices. Theres something for everyone. Limited outdoor seating. Restrooms are open which is a super plus in DTLA. China Cafe is my favorite as its one of older vendors, great price.

The food stalls are always amazing. My fave is the Thai spot Sticky Rice. The atmosphere is exciting and all the workers are incredibly kind. Now there is a pop up book shop (@agoodusedbook) that just turned out to be the cherry on top. Grand Central has been a monthly staple since I moved to L.A. almost 10 years ago.

Ive only ever walked here from my friends place so I wouldnt be able to say much about the parking, but this is DTLA, so expect what you will!This place is packed with so many different genres of food that its impossible to get bored with coming here. The lines and wait times for food are usually pretty long here. Its also hard to get adequate seating, especially for larger groups.The food is pretty great! Its definitely worth a visit or two for the average foodie.

Cool spot nice variety of things. We had a little bit of everything! Love the candy spot.

Came in to meet some friends on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely a tourist spot and a trip to LA would not be complete without a stop over at Grand Central Market.What I like about this place is the various ethnic foods they offer from Mexican, American, Thai, and Filipino to say the least. Luckily we found seats available at Sticky Rice and if youre familiar with the location, it can get crowded as people pass you by. The food on the other hand was fantastic! I ordered their chicken with sticky rice and my, oh my it was delightful :)As for other vendors out there, definitely cant wait to try more. Note, there is an Eggslut in Glendale if youre not about that line.Overall, not a bad spot to come in and try various foods.

If you havent been you should go. Great energy, lots to eat... Some reasonably priced, some a bit much

Some of the best places to eat are here in this Marketplace. Biggest tacos in LA $4.00 per taco and each taco comes with full size tortillas on the side. One taco makes up to four. So much meat. Always delicious

The carnitas here are delicious. The staff is very kind and always feel make us feel welcomed. When we visit San Diego we always make the drive to los angeles for these delicious carnita tacos!

A busy, urban food court inside the open ended first floor location in DTLA. Amazing variety of cuisines, markets, coffee and beers. Requires several visits to experience fully.

Its a fantastic place to go if youre hungry but not sure what you want to eat. There is a great variety of foods to choose from and you can either take-away or enjoy it there.The people at the places are friendly and seem to appreciate your attention and patronage. You could eat here all day if youre in the area!Also just outside across the main street, there is a small funicular called Angles Flight you can ride. Its $1 each way (up/down). Its very short but just something fun to do, especially if you have kiddos.

Tacos tumbras a Tomas. These tacos are very good and big! Highly recommend

Lots of choices. Too many choices. Most of them excellent. Plus just a great experience visiting there.

I call places like that a jewel of the city. Hole in a wall. Simple menu but great food. Stop by, you will not regret it. Great customer service.

Great Place for a family brunch . Extremely crowded on the weekends with limited seating.

•Nice traditional Chinese Restaurant housed in what looks to be a former Pizza Hut. Food was very good and so was the service. I was there for lunch with some friends and everyone enjoyed their food. I cant say anything bad. I wish I lived closer and Ill definitely be back!

Ive found some great food here: eggslut for sure and Mr. Donut. In addition, its Pandemic Friendly: all the eating and tables are outside (and the CFM crew sanitizes the table as soon someone leaves: and theyre diligent about it!)

Very casual place to get different types of food with out door sitting. Very fast service. Grand Central Market has changed over the years and till this day I enjoy going there.

Clark Street Fresh Bread is the perfect place to start your day with breakfast

Lots of food to choose from, gotta wear a mask to enter, and they sometimes have comedy on the parking garage!

Grand Central Market has been downtown for over 100 years. In 40 minutes you can leave Santa Clarita Valley and be walking around a very magical place. They have their own parking, free with validation. Incredable variety of excellent food...great Carnitas, pizza, Cineese, and more...dont leave without stopping at Clark Street Bakery. Great Almond Croissants, Chocolate Chip cookies, Cardamom Danish, baguettes, artisan bread, plus more. There is so much to see and do downtown and so close...The Bradbury Building is across the street on Broadway. Its the oldest office building and can walk unto their lobby to see the beautiful architecture. In the back on the Hill street side youll see Angels Flight. Get out and explore this historic great place to bring your family or a date.

Fun hangout! Lots of food and drinks with so many styles! Downstairs can have some space if you’ve ordered food but found yourself without a spot to sit.The Mole lady has awesome moles. And I like to get my chilies here too.

Awesome place its a must at every trip to downtown LA .lots of good food

Very cool place with a rich history. Its been there for over 100 yrs and the variety of food is incredible. Wexlers deli, Pupusas, and the Mexican food is amazing but you have to try the chicken sandwich at Lucky Bird.

Over priced and vendors not friendly except the one guy selling cbd oil by the entrance. I was expecting something different I guess. I didnt taste any of the food because Im not about to spend $4.50 for one taco, call me cheap I dont care. To anyone that enjoys this place, thats good.

The mini ribs are super good, nice and soft, plus they have san miguels

Great spot during COVID. Plenty of spaces out seating and food and bev choices. Friendly staff is everywhere making sure everything is clean and masks are worn.

Love. Love. Love. So many fantastic vendors. Great vibe. Great good.

Perfection... After a whole month of not being able to enjoy sit down sushi bar service...this take home order will fill the void... Please be sure to enjoy. I picked up order everyone was in mask and gloves appricate the service and food quality.... Awesome dinner thank you. PS you can pick up your beer and sake with your order

I always finish my food when I come here! Even my parents, who recently tried it for the first time ever, said its the real thing. Flavoring the broth with the kimchi juice makes it even better!

Theres a lot of places to eat at here. And the food is pretty good. I tried the donuts from Donut Man and they were really good. I would recommend the pumpkin cream (when in season) and the lemon filled. They are big, delicious and they put a lot of filling. I also grabbed some Mexican food here and it was good, I got a burrito (carnitas) it was huge and the meat was flavorful but Ive had better, however there is a few different Mexican food spots here to choose from so maybe I just went to the wrong one lol. Theres also not a lot of seating available so thats a downside, and with covid, theres even less seating. But all in all its a cool place to visit if youre in LA

Not like use to be. Food and coffee bar open its nice

Really Cool markets in the middle of the city with really decent prices (for this country). And really good quality food, within a large variety of cuisines.Great even just to walk through and take photos, great big neon signs everywhere - seems to be a theme.Or even if you dont feel like eating... Fear not. Coffee and beer is always available at some of the vendors.I would 100% come back so its got to be 5 stars for me.

The Grand Central Market is one of those places you cant miss while in L.A. Gotta admit it was kinda intimidating the first time I was there. I couldnt find a way to order, nor couldnt decide what to have but once you get in one line, youre up for awesome. Amazing staff in all the restaurants, truly a gastronomic gem. Ive had from PB&J sandwiches to tacos and Watermelon water, everything is worth a try (just amazing in the California heat)

Nice place to get lunch if your Downtown L.A.

We ordered laots of food and they are all so thaireffic!!!I like the ambiance, the aesthetic of the dish, customer service, the portion, and most important the flavor of the food! I had the Lao fried rice, highly recommend (the chicken wings inside is just so so though).

I left a negative review a few weeks ago because the new management completely changed the menu by doing away with lunch specials, margarita Wednesday and the childs menu. They also had new menus with much higher prices. I guess enough people complained because this outstanding restaurant is back on track. The food, as usual, was so good. I had never eaten dessert here but my friends ordered a guava and cheese empanada and wow was it awesome!!!

This is a cool place to come here based on what you feel like eating. So many different options, base don what your taste buds feel like devouring. It is an open-air market with tables outside. Because it is so close to Skid Row (Overly close) it can get sketchy with people in the area. The Market does keep security on hand to watch over not only the market but the tables outside while you eat. If your asking would I go and eat there again, I would. I would say if you are there at night, just be mindful you are overly close to Skid Row!

Great choices for food. More Mexican food than anything. No seating inside & please pay attention to the arrows on which way to walk.

Super tasty food left and right from different parts of the world, the tacos are very fresh, the burritos are huge, and the pastas have more meat than pasta (my favorite way to eat pasta!). It’s a great place to sit down and have lunch and if you have an appetite left then you can try the mouth watering donuts

Food stalls offer amazing tasty food, from Asian to Mexican to Italian food.

So much delicious food to choose from and the facility is very well maintained.

Hamburgers at the butcher place are superb. The duck fat fries are beyond categorization good.

They are open!Not as busy as they used to be but definitely still a wait in some places.Food - A+Variety - A+Cleanliness - B-One of my favorite one stop shops for lunch. Everything from mexican, chinese, japanese, and even a grocery store!

This place is just awesome. All kinds of great places to eat and a super chill vibe!

I really enjoy this place every time I come. There’s so much variety of food. It’s usually super packed with people on the weekends and eating space is somewhat limited. The ambience is also very interesting, somewhat hippie-like. Definitely a must go!

Loved it!!I found a place in there that sells all organic n green fed meats

You feel the energy as soon as you walk into the market. Fun ambience overall, and variety of food vendors and drinks to choose from. Eggslut and G&B coffee here are safe stops to grab a bite and coffee. Recommended!

Watching the Lakers after a good dinner at Central Market

So many shops selling the food and drinks there. You can choose what you like. Also a small market is situated. It’s great place for you to eat here when you travel to the Historic Downtown in Los Angeles. There are some attractions around here. After you finished the meal, you could see the awesome view of the city.

I’m a struggling little man in a big big world out here. This place is making me feel at home

One of the best place to enjoy varieties of Food at one place. There is Coffee Shop, Mexican food, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and local food available at this price. There is also shops selling Spices, Vegetables and Juice. We had food from Sticky Rice counter. We ordered Spicy Chicken fried rice and Fried chicken. Both these items were so delicious. But we think price was little high. We will be visiting this place again to try other varieties of food. There is also public restroom available. Pershing Square metro station is very near to this Market. A must place to visit in Los Angeles. Please visit this place by 7:30 PM as some counters close at 8 PM

Food is good, plentiful and a good value.I can split a plate (shish and chicken) and add a side for two.Its quick and efficient.You can easily pay double for just about the same dishes and get cloth napkins
