Saluhall SF - Reviews

My experience was a "smish smash review. " After a lot of work and time to get here, the restaurant was randomly closed that day with a "Pepe" note. There needs to be better social media communication.

I visited this food hall at 3: 30 pm on a Saturday afternoon and found it packed with very long lines at every stand, except for Smish Smash. They were closed for a restocking break, reopening at 4 pm. It's surprising they would close during peak afternoon hours on the busiest day of the week, especially during a major event like Kings day when Market Street is thronging with people. Saluhall should have better management to prevent sellers from shutting down during these crucial times. This closure made the already limited offerings at Saluhall seem even worse. I won't be returning. P. S. As someone living in Sweden, I can only say: Well done, IKEA!

I totally agree with the positive sentiment about this place. My experience was great, especially with the coffee and bread, which were excellent. The space was also noted as clean and good.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! They offer an amazing variety of food venues, from different cuisines to high-protein vegan options. Beyond the food, there's free validated parking, a delicious coffee shop, an ice cream parlor, and a bar. It truly has something for everybody.

My experience at Poesia Cafe, located in Saluhall, involved purchasing a Pistachio Croissant. The cost of this pastry was notably high, exceeding the price of a regular burrito from El Farolito. The cafe has a bakery counter and the atmosphere was rated 5, service was 5, and food was 5. The noise level was loud but still allowed for conversation. The price per person was estimated at $10–20 and there was no wait time.

My first experience at this restaurant was great, and I will absolutely be back. The burgers and pizza were great. I also tried Curry Up Now, which was fantastic, just as I remembered from their food trucks, although they were out of chicken tikka.

My experience at this restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag. While the inside of the place is nice, the surroundings were concerning, being full of homeless people, which made it feel creepy at night. Additionally, I noticed that every food stand closes early. The atmosphere received a rating of 3, and the food also got a 3, while the service was rated a 4. The price per person was between $30–50, and there was no wait time.

This is such a cute place to grab lunch, offering nice seating areas. The staff are all super friendly in a genuine way. I enjoy visiting for the Makers Market, which features small businesses and other events, sometimes with a DJ. The Higate concert was really cool, with live music, singers, and musicians. They also have lots of great vegan options.

I absolutely love this food hall! It boasts a great selection of vendors, great vibes, and friendly staff. I've visited Saluhall multiple times for lunch and brunch, and each visit has impressed me with the variety – there's truly an option for everyone. If you need a post-meal stroll, you can even wander through the IKEA showroom. I appreciate how spacious the area is and how much room each vendor is given to operate. Initially, I was surprised by the number of open vendor slots for such a large, two-story space. However, I believe the extra kitchen space allows vendors to function more like a traditional restaurant, enabling them to serve more complex dishes, unlike places where vendors are cramped together. My favorite vendors so far include: - Momo: A wonderful Sichuan-style noodle shop! The noodles are perfectly spicy and numbing, with a fantastic al dente texture, topped with flavorful braised tofu or meat. While I might be an edge case, I think they could make the noodles even spicier and more numbing. - Curry Up Now: A super tasty Indian street food spot! The tikka masala paneer is absolutely delicious, with the springy yet rich cheese complementing the curry wonderfully. The curry typically comes with a generous portion of rice, and naan is available for an extra fee. They also offer complimentary chai, which is quite tasty – a bit sweet but not overly so, and wonderfully warm and comforting. Additionally, there's a lovely cafe (whose name I can't recall) with phenomenal coffee. It's rich and nutty, with the espresso flavor shining through even in milk-based drinks like a latte. And, of course, the IKEA food hall is always a reliable choice. Overall, it's a lovely food hall filled with amazing goodies. I'm eager to return and try more of their stalls!

I bought a coffee to go today from Saluhall and the coffee was really good - however please upgrade your takeaway cups 😅 I had to run off to an Uber and the entire way coffee was pouring out of the cup (lid was correctly on), and this did not stop while I sat in the car, having to wrap my cup into a sock to save the car from stains 😂 The whole point of a takeaway cup is that it should keep the coffee inside and nice and warm while you walk/run/stroll off to your everyday life. I might have been unlucky, but if not - please swap the lids out for the future 🙈
