The Food District

The vibe is nice but not much seating in that area… especially if your group wants to eat different things. There’s some seating in each restaurant (differ per restaurant) but for general seating, there’s not much. Food prices here are a bit steep imo, but it is a nice option to have besides food court food.

Excellent selection and variety of food! I mostly buy East Asian treats from Kibo Market ;p. I just had an Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake at a birthday party and it hit the spot! (It's a chain so it's reliable.) All in all I recommend Square One Food District for a novel and delicious dining experience!

Good selection of restaurant in Sq1’s premium food court. However this place’s set up is uninviting and you will have a hard tike finding a seat where. There are lots more table that chairs. The mall management need to sort this out quick…

Initially, upon hearing about Square One, I had assumed it to be a modest, unassuming mall. However, to my surprise, Food District Mississauga shattered my preconceptions. The sheer scale and variety of dining options within Square One left me in awe. It was a revelation; how had I, inadvertently, overlooked this culinary gem? I was about to correct that mistake with my second stay. Nowadays, at places like Square One, the dynamics have shifted dramatically. Food has taken center stage, becoming a focal point of the mall experience, while shopping plays a supporting role. Despite the encroachment of online giants like Amazon, who have claimed a significant share of retail profits, the charm of dining out remains unconquered. Jeff Bezos may have revolutionized online shopping, but the allure of a sit-down restaurant experience eludes him. This shift in focus has become a survival strategy for malls, with many emulating malls such as the Square One model to stay relevant and attract patrons. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of in-person experiences and the adaptability of traditional retail spaces in the face of digital disruption. I couldn’t help but marvel at the gastronomic delights housed within the Food District. It’s a wonder I hadn’t stumbled upon this culinary haven sooner. The Food District is like a busy hub of delicious food, capturing the lively atmosphere of a bustling market. It brings together different types of food places, like cozy bakeries, fresh seafood spots, energetic juice bars, and lots of diverse restaurants. With more than 25 talented cooks, shop owners, and chefs, there are a ton of tasty choices to try. If you are to believe the signage, there are over 100 restaurants in the area. Believe me, I did not have the time to count. I will take their word for it. Below are a few restaurants that caught my eye. Jollibee is a renowned Filipino fried chicken franchise famous for its overflowing buckets of Jolly Crispy Chicken and Jolly Spaghetti. Fuwa Fuwa offers made-to-order Japanese soufflé pancakes known for their delightful fluffiness. La Carnita features classics like In Cod We Trust, a crunchy cod taco, and a grilled steak taco with chipotle mayo, tomatillo salsa, crispy shallots, and vibrant cocktails and beer. Patties Express provides fluffy coco bread stuffed with delicious fillings, creating a satisfying carb-on-carb delight. Roywoods offers a jerk chicken sandwich, a hearty combination of spice-marinated chicken, coleslaw, onions, spicy mayo, and tomato, perfectly paired with a refreshing Caribbean soda. Moxie’s Grill & Bar, savor the Chipotle Mango Chicken or Lemon Basil Salmon for your main course, followed by the delightful White Chocolate Brownie for dessert. Sansotei Ramen serves authentic flavors from diverse Japanese regions, including the hearty Tonkotsu Black Ramen and the refreshing Yuzu White Ramen. Jimmy the Greek is a fast-service restaurant specializing in gyro wraps, souvlaki, and Greek salad, providing a Mediterranean culinary experience.

The Food District has some interesting popups. The latest is POPpadum at the District Kitchen. They serve original Indian and fusion street food and snacks. It wasn’t quite lunch so I wasn’t that hungry so I ordered one Vada Pav OG ($5.55 for one, $10.55 for 2), a soft ball of spiced potato sandwiched between a soft bun and 2 different chutneys. They place one hot pepper on top. It was soft and very tasty and the pepper was hot! It was probably at my top level for heat (spice). The server was very friendly. They are only there for a short time (until September 24) so try it if you can.

Bao Mama: I tried the chicken and shrimp bao buns and it was only average. The bun was good but the chicken was chewy and dry. I preferred the shrimp bao over the chicken. The place had good seating area, the wait wasn’t too long. If you are going to sit at the restaurant, you need to stand in line to place your order and then once they will bring the food to you at your table. The service was quick.

Wow, wow 😮 wow 😲 was the perfect 👌 place to eat! You can pick from lots of choices and every little shop was unique. So much creativity in every detail. Finally found a unique place in Canada 🇨🇦 to eat good. There was live music 🎶 a great atmosphere. We had hummus (you can see in the pictures) it was very good. If you are at the mall please come and visit The Food 🥘 District too!
