Windmill Food Hall

Great place for a variety of food, but so sad that you took the time to put a compost, mixed recycling, and landfill bins by the doors, but you didn't put any photos up to make sure that people knew what went into each bin.

So easy to post pictures of the different types of materials used here so that people actually could feel good about recycling their trash .

Kinda cool that my bf and I just stumbled upon this place after shopping at the outlet next door. We saw food hall and immediately thought that meant a big selection of different cuisines in one building.. and that was exactly that!

We didn't know what we wanted to eat so it was nice to just walk around and see the options. We ended up getting Thai food. I ordered the Tom Kha and my bf ordered the Pad Thai. Both were very delicious and flavorful. Portions are okay, not the biggest ever but enough to fill someone who is not starving. Tom Kha is coconut soup which I thoroughly enjoy but I wish noodles came with it. Pad Thai was super flavorful and tasty! Total for the two came out to be about $26 which is reasonable.

There were many other booths for food, indoor bar, claw machines, arcade and dog friendly outdoor patio.

Overall, great vibes and plenty of parking. We went on Labor Day Monday night around 7pm and it wasn't packed at all.

I'd come back again to check out other foods!

Con's:
-Packed on weekends, the wait for food is super long especially during dinner
-Not enough seating
-Dingy and too dark and cold

Pro's:
-Kiddos loved the arcade area and eating from the pizza place. The Craft Pizza place is fairly priced. The Lobster Lab is not. I would recommend to bring your own drinks.
-There's a fountain with water and cups.
-Outdoor seating looks nice
-Family friendly
-Location is easy to find and lots of parking!

The Windmill Food Hall hosts a bunch of different food inside and even has a miniature arcade inside and a patio for you to bring your pet. There is a large variety of cuisines you can pick from. They had Mexican, Pho, pasta, pizza, Mediterranean, sushi burritos and a bit more. They also have some vegetarian/vegan friendly options.

Finding parking wasn't too bad but finding a table might be a little more difficult depending on the time of day you come. There's a lot of small tables placed inside the Windmill and we were lucky enough to grab two benches to sit our party of 20 on a Saturday evening.

I enjoy the atmosphere here and I like how wide the variety of choices they have. I think this is definitely a place I would come back to and just to come if I had craving for more than one type of cuisine.

Came across this food hall when looking up nearby places to eat and it was definitely a win! We were all able to order something we each liked. Parking was free in a private lot. The entrance is shared with the entrance for a wedding venue though so it was a little weird sharing bathrooms with fancily dressed guests and walking past a bride waiting to walk inside, but otherwise the food hall itself is nice! There are several food vendors to choose from, and plenty of seating. The arcade is a nice bonus too to keep the kids busy! It wasn't too crowded for a Saturday afternoon which was great so we had room to spread out.

This concept of multiple restaurants under one roof reminded me of the San Pedro square market in San Jose. Just this one is at the floor level of a windmill! First time there, cool murals, nice family ambience, multiple cuisines to choose from and also different game machines and toys for the younger ones and in spirit forever young. The different mini restaurants are well defined and there is a common space inside and outside to eat and hang out. My only but is the mix of smells that can result a bit unpleasant.

A foodie lovers dream! They have it all here. Pizza, Thai, pho, coffee, drinks, desserts, sushi burritos, Chinese, burgers, what more could you want?!

I definitely recommend going with a few people so you're able to try more things or coming here more than once.

Depending on which booth you went to, you could get your order fast or a bit slower since some of them were busier than others.

There was ample seating, chairs and tables. Inside and out. Parking was kind of weird, if you go all the way to the end of the lot, that's reserved for another business so just make sure you're paying attention.

Every booth we tried was yummy and I can't wait to go back to try more food!

Craft Pizza, Rolled Up Sushi, and Mini Donut Company were our top picks!

Do not let the wind mill throw you. It is actually very good inside!!
I went with a friend and as I pulled up, I saw the windmill and said " where are you taking me and why are we going here? "
I have to tell you, I was pleasantly surprised.
it is a fairly large Foodhall, but also combined some arcades in the back. It was a good mix of more adult than kids which is refreshing so the quality of food. you know better.
There are a few of Instagram moments for people that need those moments for their social media.
There is a great bar and restaurant in the front with patio seating, which is nice.
Once you walk around inside, you get to determine where you would like to eat, and each one of you can go different directions.

There are bathrooms in the food hall, which is nice.

I recommend the lobster stand. I recommend the pasta place. They're Chicken Parmesan is great and the mini donuts are a great treat to take to work as well as and nibble on your ride back to LA from shopping at Carlsbad.

Parking is free and plenty. The service at the individual locations is hit or miss the ones I've visited were good.

This foodhall is conveniently located near Legoland. We came here after leaving there to grab some dinner.
We got Poke, Thai, and Chinese food.
The poke was good and fresh with different toppings such as carrots and edamame, but it's a small portion for $18!
The Thai food my husband got was ok. Would have preferred more spice and also the chicken thigh was BONE IN, so be aware as some bones did break off while eating the curry dish he ordered.
The Chinese food was ok. The pot stickers were basically from Costco, and the beef and broccoli was good but could have used more beef in proportion to the broccoli.
Overall we left satisfied but will try something else next time.

This place was super close to our hotel. Needed some good food and quick after a long day at the park.

Food options were pretty good and reasonable prices!

Service is fast and the system of ordering and picking up with a pager alert system made it organized.

The ambiance is pretty vintage and casual dining.

Would def eat here again if in the area!
