warning notice on the food hall's entrance, February 2026 Owned by Punya Tipyasothi, the food hall opened in November 2022, in the space that previously housed a P. F. Chang's location. Tan Vinh of The Seattle Times observed about food hall's operations and clientele: "During lunch, the line to order sometimes snakes across the dining area. Another forms around 6 p.m. when office workers linger for Hainanese chicken and Burmese tofu curry. On Saturdays, the food hall fills with 20-something Asians and Asian Americans who are bent on ordering everything on the menu in one sitting." Asean StrEAT was given an eviction notice by Brookfield Properties, involving the King County Sheriff's Office, forcing the food hall to cease operations by 11:59 p.m., February 12, 2026. It closed permanently on February 13. The reason the food hall was kicked out was because of $842,000 in unpaid rent and additional charges. == Reception ==
