This famous Taiwanese chain is just minutes away! The korubata pork xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are a must-have. The braised beef soup is a traditional Taiwanese soup that comforts the soul. If you’re feeling adventurous, we recommend the wood-ear mushroom in vinegar dressing appetizer. For dessert, try the chocolate and Michi xiao long bao or the chocolate buns. Can’t go wrong with anything here! Just be prepared for a bit of a wait.

Seasons 52 is conveniently located in the Westfield UTC Mall. We love that this chain features a rotating menu depending on the season using fresh produce.
Some of our faves include the butternut squash soup, shrimp and grits, caramelized scallops, and Cedar plank roasted salmon. Desserts usually come in little shot glasses so they’re great portions for those looking for moderation!

This is one of the go-to place for us when we want healthy Californian cuisine in the Westfield UTC Mall. We usually order the brussel sprouts, grass-fed burger, kale salad and lasagna.

We love Tender Greens. This location is also in the Westfield UTC Mall nearby. Their focus is on sustainability. Jonathan loves getting the seared tuna plate with the arugula salad and brown rice side. Cindy likes the buttermilk fried chicken or falafel with the kale salad and seasonal veggies.
