Novo Asian Food Hall

Korean garden kimchi pancake - kimchi pancake with zucchini, scallion, kimchi Sumi cakery - whipped cream donut with raspberry Lychee martini

I will be very excited to come back when all the vendors are open. We came on a Monday night and Lolo's, Sumi's, and Kung Fu Chicken were closed. (I will be back for the lumpia I was denied, Lolo's!) What we had was great--sushi from Mola was fresh and of really good quality. Veggie tempura and jasmine teas (iced and hot) from Teachana were also good. The tempura was hot and light and crispy and not at all greasy, with squash, broccoli, onion and maybe lotus root? Not sure--there was a starchy vegetable in there I couldn't place. Wonton/bokchoy/pork noodle soup from Tan Lac Vien was good, though I would have preferred a saltier broth-- the wontons were flavorful, the bokchoy crispy, and the noodles were not mushy and overcooked (and there were lots of them). They were perfect, really, and the soup came with the typical pho toppers on the side. We also had their cream cheese wontons (happy hour special) - no crab, but crispy and not greasy, and some fried chicken dumplings, which were flavorful, with thin, crispy skins that were not at all stodgy or gummy.Everything we had made us want to come back soon to try Korea Garden and the vendors that were closed. The pager system worked well and overall the place felt more "organized" and less chaotic than Federal Galley or the old Smallman Galley. Waits for our food were reasonable and even though we ordered from three different places, it all came out pretty close together, so no one was left waiting to eat.

There were so many different food options here. It was quite busy in all the different shops. I went to the Philippino food shop (Lolo's) and got the Sinigong fries($7) and the food was made in about 10mins. The fries were fresh and the sinigong sauce was amazing! It was salty and sour which I loved. Seats were a bit hard to find but due to the nature of the food hall people coming in an out relatively quickly. Overall a very cool area for various Asian cuisines. Food(50%): 8.3Staff/service(25%): 6.0Value(25%): 7.0Overall: 7.4/10

Lots of options and seating! It was hard to pick because all the cuisines looked so good. I ended up getting Pho which was very large and filling, a cream beignet from Sumi's cakery, milk tea from Teachana, and sushi from Mola. The restaurants give you a buzzer so you can wait at the seating area. There is also a water station with filled bottles for convenience. The bathrooms were in the back and were clean. There is paid parking.

Been a few times. At first it's a cool novelty experience. Especially with the bar in the middle, and a selection of various Asian counters to choose from surrounding it. But I gotta say the food is just kind of so-so. That said, it's a great meet up spot. And they've really done a great job revitalizing that part of town. I just hope the food gets better. It's not offensive but there's nothing I'd have to return for. It's a step above a typical food court to be sure, but IMHO didn't live up to some of the hype.

Great spot, with variety of offerings and a style of its own. There's a lot of new mixing in with the old of the Strip Sistrict, and Novo is on the leading edge of where to be. Just another great venue to lead folks down to where its fun to be, and the food and sweet selections here, and the centerpiece bar for drinks...can't be beat. Give them a try!

I loved Novo so much that I visited 3 days during my 5-day stay in Pittsburgh. Outstanding variety so it's easy to please a group or various cravings, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and sushi was the highlight! The staff were so welcoming and quick to give info on the selections and wait time (they give you a buzzer after ordering). It's easy to get dishes from multiple restaurants (one day I got sushi and Vietnamese, another day I got sushi and boba). The sushi rolls are substantial and crave-worthy. I truly have no complaints and would recommend with no reservations- keep it up!

Really enjoyed my first visit to Novo! I visited on a Sunday afternoon with family (including a small baby) and the space was open and inviting and very accessible. The food all smelled and looked delicious, and we split up to order our choices. I tried Mola's spicy tuna roll, seaweed salad, and salmon onigiri (which I was THRILLED to see as a menu offering!), fresh shrimp summer rolls from Tan Lac Vien, and a brown sugar boba tea from Teachana. I couldn't finish all the food, my eyes were bigger than my stomach, but everything was yummy! The onigiri from Mola was my favorite dish, followed closely by the summer rolls (loved the spicy dipping sauce and fresh herbs!), and the boba tea was refreshing. I think with different counters/vendors/cuisines there are naturally some variations in flavor/quality of dishes, but overall, everything we tried was quite good. Service from some of the vendors was a bit slow, but still not a big deal! I want to return and try items from the counters I didn't visit! This is a truly great addition to the Strip, I love seeing these local spots have a spotlight and a chance to reach so many people under one roof. It's a great place for people of all ages, as well as either small or large groups - again, very accessible! I'll be back soon!

This place is absolutely amazing. I went on a busy Sunday in the Strip and at first it was giving overstimulated but then I browsed everything because I needed to make an informed decisions. This is a food court that feels like you're in Asian food heaven. There's ramen, sushi, sweets and so much more. I went with Mola and got a quick sushi. I was in a hurry so I selected one at random and it was delish. I also grabbed a bento box from Korea Garden and it was delish. The hall was so packed that the only seating available inside was at the bar so me and my boyfriend ate outside which wasn't bad because it was loud inside and we didn't mind. The sushi was filling and the bento box was flavorful.

Went to Lolo's numerous times and let's get into food. I will state that when it comes to taste, it lacks a lot of flavor which partakes in our culture as Filipinos.
