Airport feels, but make it mall: Travelers can now dine in style at NAIA 3’s massive Food Hall

NAIA Terminal 3’s Food Hall opening is serving major pre-flight hangout vibes.

Travelers flying out of NAIA Terminal 3 don’t have to settle for basic airport meals anymore because the airport now has a massive Food Hall that looks straight out of a lifestyle mall.

Opened on October 20, the 6,000-square-meter mezzanine-level Food Hall brings together a mix of beloved local and international eats to level up every traveler’s pre-flight meal.

The first nine stores that welcomed passengers include BreadTalk, Chilli’s, JCO Reserve, Kenny Rogers, KFC, Nanyang, LA Chicks, Paris Baguette, and Seattle’s Best Coffee.

“Get ready for more choices, from your favorite go-to brands to exciting new flavors!” shared NAIA 3, operated by the San Miguel-led New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), in a Facebook post.

Apparently, it’s just getting started as 11 more dining spots are set to open soon, including Angel’s Pizza, Bannaple, Chowking, Mama Lou’s, Marugame Udon, Mary Grace, Modern Shang, Pancake House, Popeyes, UCC, and Watami.

Even Estrel’s and Sans Rival will have their own kiosks to complete the Food Hall lineup.


By year-end, NAIA will also open an All-Filipino Food Hall and Food Village at Terminal 3, featuring regional specialties and homegrown brands. More food halls Terminals 1 and 2 are already in the pipeline, all part of NNIC’s plan to make NAIA feel more like a destination.

According to NNIC President Ramon Ang, the new Food Hall is part of their push to make travel through NAIA more comfortable and enjoyable.

“While we upgrade systems to make the airport run more efficiently, we are also transforming the areas passengers see, feel, and spend time in,” he stated.
