This is my spot for lunch in between meetings or on a busy Sunday. I always go for the Madame VP bowl or a falafel plus the agua Jamaica. Delicious and quick!!
This is one of my favorite places in Union Market but I had one of the most frustrating experiences when I tried to eat here today. According to their hours, they close at 9pm. However tonight when I stood in line, they abruptly closed at 8:20 by wordlessly putting up an “closed” sign without making eye contact and then reopened the line without telling the people who had been waiting. We got back in line and were turned away for a second time. Waited for a total of 20 minutes to be turned away again 20 minutes before their 9pm close time. Instead of being honest or letting us know, they ignored us until we asked. Incredibly frustrating, ruined a great place.
I got the Cuban Sandwich it was tasty and had a good amount of meat and bacon. I liked the tang of the sauce and the bread was the right amount of soft.
Review of Immigrant Food at Union Market
I recently had an extremely unpleasant experience at Immigrant Food located in Union Market. This review is not about the food, but rather about the service, specifically the behavior of the person working at the counter.
I ordered a samosa and a couple of drinks through the self-order system. When I asked if my drinks were ready, the person at the counter rudely yelled at me, saying it was self-service and that I needed to open the fridge and take the drinks myself. While I understand the concept of self-service, the way he communicated was completely inappropriate and unprofessional.
He was the only person there, managing both cooking and serving, which might explain his frustration. However, it does not justify his rude and aggressive behavior towards customers. His attitude was so unpleasant that I felt compelled to take time out of my busy schedule to write this review.
In response to his yelling, I told him to put his head in the fridge to cool off. I don’t take too well to being yelled at, especially when it’s completely uncalled for.
It’s disappointing to encounter such hostility, especially when visiting a place that should be welcoming and enjoyable. I hope the management at Immigrant Food addresses this issue and ensures that all customers are treated with respect in the future.

It's great for what it is...mostly lunchtime dishes like sandwiches and bowls. I wish some of their bowls were hot entrees...seems like some lost potential there. The cauliflower nuggets were good but too salty. The Viet bowl would be much better served hot over the noodles, minus a bucket of raw greens.
So I ordered the Old Saigon and the Havana sandwiches from Immigrant Food at Union Market along with a side of the Blegian fries. The service and atmosphere were amazing and keeping with the Union Market vibe as a whole. Both sandwiches were good in their own way. The Havana did not hold back on the three types of pork. They each of them cooked and prepared perfectly. The sandwich did come with a pineapple pickle that I wasn't fond of. I understand the "wanting to put your own spin" on a traditional sandwich however I don't think the pineapple pickle was the way to go. They also put a spin on the Bahn Mí sandwich as well using Adobe chicken as the protein. This was far more successful and made for a great sandwich. I would have like a more rustic roll on the Old Saigon but the sandwich is just fine without it. All and all a good experience and I will be going back.
I ordered the poke bowl and it was absolutely delicious - the flavors were on point and the fish tasted incredibly fresh. I was impressed with the quality of the ingredients and the care that went into preparing the dish.
The service was also top-notch - the staff were friendly and quick to take my order, and my food was ready in no time. I appreciated the efficiency of the service, especially since it was a busy day at the market.
Overall, I would highly recommend Immigrant Food to anyone looking for a flavorful and fresh meal. The poke bowl was a standout dish, and the service was good and efficient. I can't wait to come back and try more items from their menu!
