Moreno St. Market, named for its iconic location on Moreno St. and Central Ave. at I-10, is where Montclair Place is introducing established and new food concepts, along with live culinary demonstrations. The new food hall features contemporary design elements and finishes with modern community-style seating areas designed for socializing and comfort (which can seat up to 420 patrons). Moreno St. Market is conveniently located in the center of the mall on the upper level and features a new escalator that provides easy access from the lower level shops.
Eateries at Moreno St. Market include Panda Express and Pokeway (now open), Stickhouse (opening this week), along with Noodle World and Boba World (opening in mid-June). The food hall will include seven eateries and two full-service restaurants when fully completed, including Crazy Crab, which will be the first full-service restaurant to open in early Fall 2017. Additional eateries will be introduced throughout the year.
