Market Fresh

This place has been on my list for a bit after hearing the new chicken sandwich and the hype of their new menu items. It's a bit far from work but I decided to finally give it a try.Right now, they do not offer the buffet but will be soon :). You basically tell them what you want and they will bring it out to you. You get to choose from 1-4 items (price vary). I chose the 4 item box and got the baked salmon, curry chicken, roasted veggies and vegetables yakisoba. For $10, it's a pretty decent portion. And the quality of food is definitely there. The salmon was light and good, the curry chicken was flavorful, and I especially like the yakisoba because of the texture.Overall it was a pretty good place. Too bad it's not closer to me or I would go here more often. Definitely will need to be back here though to try their chicken sandwich and their salad bowls eventually.

Wouldn't have known about Market Fresh if it wasn't for Instagram and I'm glad I went. Market Fresh is a diy salad bar, yet they also serve breakfast and burgers. Due to COVID, as most of the hospitality industry they had to adjust, yet they are still serving healthy, hearty and fast meals. I got to try the Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($10.50) with a side of tater tots ($2.50). The chicken was juicy and the batter was had a great crunch when you take that first bite. There was a bit of heat, but that could have been from the chili pineapple sauce. But mixed with the coleslaw and the lightly pickled onions, this chicken sandwich made me want to dance. And honestly, you can never go wrong with tots. They had several sauces prepackaged on the side for you to take as you grab your meal and head out. A solid meal if your in the area and want to eat it while watching enjoying a beautiful day.

The self-serve buffet had ample options to choose from- I exclusively went with the hot food bar, and despite certain meat options looking slightly dehydrated (like pesto chicken and baked salmon) in the warming station, the food was actually very good. The green curry chicken provided a nice accent of flavor alongside the pesto chicken and baked salmon, and the roasted brussel sprouts and broccoli had just the right texture- not overcooked at all with a slight bite/crunch. Fried pepper chicken also had a nice tangy fried crust to it that stayed crispy despite sitting in the warmer. I get the aversion some folks may have to buffet serve-yourself type of places, but this spot should change your mind. It's not only affordable and convenient, it gives you a panoply of flavor options.

Great to see a restaurant adapt to the pandemic, an in stride.Being a traditionally buffet place, the reopening came with a new items in the form of tuned up presets. All presets seemed delicious. I picked the braised tofu bowl. Which sounded good but tasted even better! Definite Asian/Korean influence with bowl accessories (radish, cabbage, farro grain, onion, and roasted cauliflower) that were tasty, different from the norm and definitely healthy.My roommate got a garden burger, but ate it faster than I could get a picture or a bite.Gear to see the local favorite up and running again!

Our local buffet lunch spot has a friendly staff, decent (albeit) repetitive selection. You'll find a huge salad bar;, a variety of Asian food selections (fried rice, Yakisoba noodles, General Tso Chicken, Teriyaki and curry chicken. Here is the but...It is super expensive.. $7.99 a lb is not cheap. Especially for oatmeal .. ouch

Market Fresh is on the ground floor of the Fourth & Madison building but on the 3rd Ave entrance side, go figure. It's a good spot to stop by in the morning to grab some breakfast. It's buffet style where you just grab a box and fill it up with whatever. They have eggs, bacon, hash browns, sausages, potatoes, waffles, and all that. They have some lighter options like yogurt, with all kinds of toppings from granola, fruit, seeds and they also have a oatmeal bar. Also some baked goods like cookies and banana bread. Pricing is pretty good, my breakfast usually cost me under $5 so that's a pretty good deal for breakfast. The ladies that work there are very nice, will keep an eye out if items are running low and refill it pretty quickly. At lunch time, the line is going out the door so it's pretty popular with the work crowd that works in the building or the neighboring ones. The food seems to be mainly Asian themed with teriyaki, meats, noodles, sushi rolls etc. But they have salads, veggies and lighter fare if you trying to stay svelte. Overall, it's super convenient for me and will continue to stop by.

This place is right across the street from my work. It is quick, easy, and fast. You walk in, grab a container (they've got a variety), fill up with the box with food, they way it, you pay, you're back out the door.Pretty much a salad bar, but they also have hot food. Salad bar: a good variety of veggies and dressings. They've got an assortment of lettuce, from romaine, spring mix to aragula. They also have premade salad mixes at the end, I like their broccoli one. Hot food: they've got a Korean selection it seems, I like the sweet potato glass noodles. They've also got wings and potatoes as well. I also like their meatballs.If you want to sit and eat there, I think there are a few tables in the lobby of the building it's in. I always take it back to my office. Friendly ladies at the register.

How have I not reviewed this place? I've come here a couple times a week for the past ten years. A reliable buffet with fresh, high quality and reasonably priced food. The lunch is great but don't sleep on the breakfast buffet. I love getting some eggs and sausage and a few tater tots and chowing down. Prices are reasonable and the people are super nice and remember you. Ambiance? It's a buffet in a food court, but again everything is clean and fresh. Want a quick breakfast or lunch? Try market fresh!

Great food and staff. Conveniently opens for breakfast and lunch, and located within walking distance for many.
