5 stars for Chef Nath's food, 3 for Chomp Chef Nath's been around Santa Fe in differing modes for years. Her food is superb and it is great she has a full time location for us to savor it. We went on New Year's Eve, and she had a special fried rice with huge shrimp and crab meat that was to die for. Yeah, $40 for one plate but it was huge and super delicious. We also had her Turmeric noodles with chicken, also outstanding. While very busy, Chef Nath came by our table to make sure we were happy; such a lovely person. Thai food in Santa Fe is hit or miss, usually miss. Not with Chef Nath; she is fantastic, and we look forward to coming back. Maybe we can sample her amazing soup at the next "Souper Bowl." Now, in terms of the rest of Chomp, it has almost as many 'misses' as hits. I tried a slice of pizza a co-diner offered me, which was very good. But the wait time for a pizza was 40 minutes! This illustrates with Chomp, and you'll hear this from many other reviewers: it takes far, far too long to get your food than you might expect. If you are OK at the bar (we are not drinkers, so no), you may not mind waiting a long time to eat. But expect this to be the case. Early (5PM), not many people, but we were still told a pizza would take 40 minutes. Chef Nath's food took about that long, but it was worth the wait. The issue is, unlike a restaurant where the timing of ordering is under control, at Chomp, someone may have placed an order for a lot of pizza or Thai, and you're going to wait, wait, and wait. The BBQ place was dead; I don't think I saw one person order from that station. The reviews I read may be the clue, but I would expect they would be able to serve food quickly IF it is good; I don't know, didn't try, and never will. I doubt we will go back to Chomp, other than take out of Chef Nath's food again. It's a nice venue, but you can call it a food hall and food court (which you can find at the Mall); I'm not that impressed with the concept. I am an old fart, so maybe for the younger crowd, this is 'cool'. However, the fact that Chef Nath offers her outstanding food is a reason to go there.

Stopped into Chomp Food Hall to get Wild Leaven bread and pastries this morning. Real relaxed place with many options right next to Ohoris Coffee in Santa Fe.

Fun little place off a main street. Easy to walk to. After 5:30 pm for most food options to open up. Open late to hang.

A fun and large group accommodating space. With indoor and outdoor seating. I came with a big group where we had plenty of space to play board games and everyone could choose what they wanted to eat/drink. The night we came there was a live band which made the night more fun.

We went on Saturday night around 6:30 and the only things open were the bar (which was great, love the bartenders!), Chef Nath's Cambodian place (she was out of all but 3 menu items, but they were good at least) and the pizza place (didn't try it). I did really like the pad Thai and the turmeric noodles (the latter was mild/subtle flavor but tasty - the pad Thai came with a spicy sauce). The spring rolls were ok but not that exciting, they were more like Vietnamese summer rolls and came with a nuoc Cham type sauce (sp?) Portions were perfect for a single meal, definitely no leftovers - which is probably where the complaints come from since most SE Asian places tend to give 2 servings per portion. So with that in mind it is pricier than average. Zaika, which supposedly was open til 7, was not. Really I think as a food hall they need to make an effort to have more vendors open during peak meal times. But, I will round up to a 4 since I enjoyed the options that I tried even though I was hoping for more choice.
