A new $8 million Downtown Disney food hall featuring chicken sandwiches, rice bowls, coffee and cocktails has quietly swung open its doors as a seemingly never-ending parade of new restaurants continues to reshape the outdoor shopping mall next door to Disneyland.
The Parkside Market food hall soft opened over the weekend in the west end of Downtown Disney ahead of an official grand opening later this winter.
The new Parkside Market features four eateries:
- Seoul Sister — Korean rice bowls
- Sip & Sonder — Caribbean-inspired coffee
- GG’s Chicken Shop — Fried chicken sandwiches
- Vista Lounge — Rooftop cocktail bar
The food hall interior is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. with the coffee shop’s outdoor window opening daily at 7 a.m.

Food and drinks from the first floor fast casual eateries can be ordered at the individual counters downstairs or from a server in the rooftop bar who will bring your order to your upstairs table.
Dining in the Vista Lounge means you get a single consolidated bill without having to order at each location — and your server will bring you drinks from the bar as well.
Walk-up customers can eat at a handful of tables inside the food hall on the first floor.

Parkside Market is located next door to the new Avengers Reserve and D-Lander shops that opened in December and across from Din Tai Fung that debuted over the summer.
A trio of eateries from Michelin Star Chef Carlos Gaytan — Paseo restaurant, Centrico courtyard bar and Tiendita grab-and-go stand — opened earlier in the year.
