Anaheim’s Sixth Annual World Taste Returns to the Packing District

Anaheim Packing District, named Orange County's Best Food Hall of 2025, is bringing back its World Taste of the Packing District for a sixth year on Tuesday, August 11, from 5 to 9 p.m.

This year's theme is Y2K, and guests are invited to dust off their early-2000s best for a tasting crawl through the district's historic venues, including Anaheim MAKE, Anaheim Packing House, Farmers Park and the Packard Building.

The vendor lineup spans nearly 20 spots, with standouts including:

  • URBANA Mexican Gastronomy, serving quesabirria tacos with consomme
  • Mangal Mediterranean, offering a mini bowl with chicken shawarma, falafel or gyro
  • The Wooden Pearl, with a grilled skirt steak bite finished in house-made chimichurri
  • Stone Groove Stillhouse, plating Japanese yellowtail on a blue corn tostada
  • Zabon Ramen and Rolls, with crispy rice topped with tuna poke
  • 206 BCE, bringing its best-selling garlic noodles with cajun sausage
  • En Cultura Mexican BBQ, serving smoked wagyu short rib over garlic mash
  • The Kroft, with a choice of portabella fries or a pastrami slider
  • Marrakesh the Restaurant, offering bourrek bastilla with honey lamb or lemon chicken
  • Le Parfait Paris, with a vanilla caramel tart or a Snow White-inspired poison apple tart
  • Randy's Donuts, handing out its classic iced and glazed rounds
  • Union Burger Society, with a wagyu slider topped with jalapeno bacon jam

Vegetarian and vegan options are sprinkled throughout the lineup, and Mini Monster's color-changing Mood Ring Lemonade will hand out free mood rings to the first 100 guests.

Beyond the food, the night leans into its throwback theme with Lorcana card games, D-Com trivia and a DJ set from Clark Chuka.

Two ticket options are available: a 7-taste Passport for the full crawl or a 4-taste Petite Pass for a lighter sampling. Greer's OC readers get 15% off by entering the code "greer" at checkout here.

Tickets and the full vendor list are available at anaheimpackingdistrict.com/worldtaste.
