| - In the dust of the formerly located Easy Street rose this array of made to order and take out fast foods that can easily be overwhelming. Please note that this place opens at 11 for lunch on weekdays.
Since there weren't a lot of people around when I arrived I walked though the market to get an idea of their different cuisines as well as grab and go items and snacks. As others have mentioned, there is an Italian station, a taco station, and a sandwich station called "Flame"(Just look at their buns with their name branded on them) which specializes in burgers, fish, and yes they serve a bean/quinoa style burger. The station I decided to try is actually a duel concept. One is Mediterranean called Zatar, and the other is Revolution where you can "build" your own noodle bowls. In the middle towards the back is the salad bar which I understood is pay what it weighs. I have yet to figure the cost. No one seemed to know who was sitting around me. Everything is customizable.
I knew to purchase the beverages separately but as I made my way around I didn't see any prices to go with them. The same was true with the grab and go candy or grab and go refrigerated items (similar to what you would find at an airport.) I did purchase a bottle of water for $1.89.
I asked for help and was told to order off one of the kiosks and if I wasn't pleased with the price of the item, then just take it off my order. Beverages you buy also had to be scanned. I wanted to pay cash but was told there was no cashier. I pointed to one of the employees what was written on the sign in the entry way but he said if I wanted to pay cash then I would have to pay in the bar.
Zatar and Revolution have quick change light menus on the same board so it becomes a bit difficult when ordering. I was able to ask one of cooks to assist me. The shrimp looked delicious and he helped me with the kiosk in ordering a bowl made with rice noodles, shrimp, my choice of broth, and 4 add ons of my choice. Once you pay your receipt is given a number that appears on a lit board. When your number turns from red to green then your order is ready. If you don't want to fool with the board then they can text you if you provide your cell number.
Since most of the people were going for sandwiches I got my broth bowl fairly quickly. I must stress that although some things here may say "vegan" I was told "vegetarian" instead because things could be compromised. There's inside seating in the foyer outside market. All your plastic utensils and napkins are situated inside near the center of the market.
I felt my rice noodles were under cooked and not very tender. The shrimp however, made up for that error. They were nice size and still had their tails on them. You get 5 of them in your bowl. The broth bowl was filled to the brim and did have a bit of a "kick" to it with the Thai chili sauce he put in it. The other vegetables were in there but they seemed to be mostly shavings.
This place does catering and they have a phone number you can call them for that service. I went to the bar area when I was finished to search out a restroom and began to chat with the bar lady. She told me that I could have eaten my meal in here since they have both tables set up parallel to the bar. She also told me the Oxford Bar starts their own meal service at 3 pm and is open until 10 pm. Since they had opened two weeks ago she told me there were becoming more popular at night.
There is no restroom in the bar area nor is there one in the market. If you need to use the facilities then you have to completely walk out of the market and what's left of the old food court down a long hall and you will find them. Expect to pay prices similar to the old Easy Street here but the nice thing is you don't have to tip here. My pho bowl came to $9.50 plus tax. Prices seem reasonable but I feel this place is going to be experimental. Once I get an opportunity to try some of the other concepts then I'll be able to advise my own recommendations. My meal was average to say the least and afterwards I was unable to locate my cook to let him know that noodles weren't to my liking.
