4th Street Market

Pretty cool little food court. Lots of developing restaurants around. In fact the whole downtown area is developing. My friend and I had a breakfast burrito and it was delicious. The salsa was perfect. The seating area was plentiful and it was cool that they had outdoor seating. Lots of urban design all around. Honestly, I was more excited to see all the development happening in the city. So much potential to bring in a young crowd.

I went here and had the Pho deli sandwich! Wow - that was so good! It was an hour drive for me one way but still worth it. I wish I got one to go as well.
Open a place in the San Fernando Valley! I'll even buy into the business - because it will be a hit.
Delicious!!!

It falls short of expectations as a food hall with typically overpriced and lackluster offerings. On a Thursday at 7pm ish half the shops were closed or closing down.

It was quite empty as well so the entire hall seemed quiet and dead.

There's a parking structure right nearby and when we parked from like 5-7ish we only had to pay less than a dollar so that was nice.

Just like any other food hall, it's fun to hang out with a group as you can let everyone make their own choices of what they want to eat and come back to hang out. But this is low tier in my opinion

Got invited to an industry event where this was the venue and we loved the food. I had some very delectable Takoyaki from Sharinori that's so worth coming back for. My friend had Sweet Chili Garlic Shrimp from Faka's Island Grill and she said it was very tasty, although presentation did not look too appetizing. The place has a variety of options and is perfect as a hangout place for friends or a quick bite with family. Definitely not a place for corporate events, business meet-ups or fancy dates as the ambiance is really simple - a regular food court in the heart of downtown Santa Ana.

I went around the area for about 35 minutes looking for parking, but my colleagues later said there was free parking at a structure beside the building. Plan where to park if you intend to visit this place, and other than good food, don't expect too much.

I had been in here previous to pandemic. There started to be less and less restaurant but now it seemed pretty staffed up. However we got there about 1145am in a Tuesday and only like 3 of the restaurants were open. Maybe we were not aware of their hours.

I got Chicken Rice because I had eaten before it was in 4th Street Market. I ordered the red curry with chicken and a Thai tea small. Honestly, Delicious and super hot. We went for a meeting but definitely gets a bit loud FYI.

Overall, really convenient and good service.

Nice easy drinking to pass the time while we wait for our food at the food court. Most of these drinks were heavy on the lime, so it's a plus for those citrus lovers. The people there were very chill for a Sunday morning, and it was nice to be able to take our drinks out to the patio or back into the food court.

Great food hall with lots of seating spread out everywhere along with outdoor seating backyard patio. The restaurants were all super quick and unique and the flavors and portion size was great!

Definitely a fun spot with about 15 restaurants all under one roof!

However the parking is a few blocks away for the lot and only paid parking per hour.

Looking to try out a few different restaurant, and not have to go too far? This is the spot for you. I have been coming here for a few years now, but it has been a while since I have been back. Many of the original restaurants that were here when it first opened are now long gone, but there is always something exciting happening with up and coming grub spots popping up.

If I remember correctly, 4th Street Market was originally created as a stepping stone for restaurants. It offers the opportunity to see if they have a concept that will work out and from there they will be able to open a brick and mortar spot elsewhere.

Feeling pressured to choose just one thing when your boyfriend asks what you want to eat? Feeling indecisive? Then come to this indoor food hall!
Lots of options so you don't have to choose just one thing. There's Thai, Sushi, Mexican, boba, Hawaiian, etc! Don't want to share your food?! You don't have to here!
My personal favs were Tuk Tuk Thai, Faka, and La Palma!

Finally a food hall worth going to: 5 Stars for food and pricing -1 star for this busy area but parking itself is easy and free.

-Chicken Rice 4 Stars

This was our second and Best visit. Or first visit didn't yield this great of a result, in fact, there's a couple more additions that made this place the ultimate food tour destination. Where can you go where you can eat 5 different restaurant in one place?

Our favorite and most unique and bang for your bug item was from Deli Station. This will probably the first and only time I will rate a sandwhich shop the highest amongst other establishments. The other restaurants were just as good. 4sm is now my new go to food hall. Parking is always easily located in a parking structure next door. Getting to the structure is a pain in the ass though if you have to drive through downtown. M-F is free parking. Sat-Sun is free for 2 hours. Even though this area has been thoroughly reformed and gentrified, I wouldn't be caught dead in this area after sundown. There are a lot of "unhoused" scary people around. I also recommend avoiding this place during peak hours as it does get crowded and long lines form. There's also some shops around the area you can walk and peruse after your face is thoroughly stuffed. There's a lot of construction going on right now so it's probably a lot more loud and busier than usual but you'd hardly notice it with an array of amazing food at your beck and call.
