Collage Culinary Experience - Costa Mes

The food court of South Coast Plaza with lots of choices from noodle shops to chinese food. Dessert shops from boba to donuts and finger foods.

Asian street food court, luxury food court. Pretty authentic even though Asians weren't cooking.

The Collage Culinary Experience in Costa Mesa is a unique, elevated food court aimed at pleasing the most skeptical palates. It's located at the south side of Bloomingdale's, and it may be hard to find if you don't know it's there, which would be a shame because you would be missing out on some great restaurant options aside from the usual chain restaurants at South Coast. Be sure to hit both floors because downstairs holds most of the restaurants, and there is limited seating upstairs. On the weekends, expect to wait a little longer, but my recommendation is. for the best experience, go during the week and take your time to enjoy all of it!

It's like a cool, upscale food court adjacent to Bloomingdales. The lower portion reminded me a little of the small Asian food alley. This one is more upscale as it offers grab and go, take out and sit down options with a variety of types of food (i.e Bruxie, Mah Jongs by Chef Mike and Paradise Dynasty). Can't wait to try the Ramen Bar!

Tried the chicken and waffle place, was phenomenal! Can’t wait to try the other places
