HOLBROOK – Long Island has recently welcomed its fourth Wonder Food Hall at The Shops at SunVet, the newly redeveloped mall on Sunrise Highway. For families or groups who can never seem to agree on what to eat, Wonder offers a one-stop solution. With a wide variety of cuisines and restaurant concepts all under one roof, it makes it easy to satisfy everyone’s cravings in a single order.
Here’s how it works: Wonder offers a large variety of dishes from different restaurants all in one place. Instead of choosing from a single menu, customers can browse over 20 partner menus. All menus are co-developed and approved by partner chefs and restaurants to uphold their culinary standards. You can explore the options online for pickup or delivery or visit in person to place your order. Once you’ve decided, a central kitchen team prepares the items together, allowing multiple cuisines to be made fresh at the same time and served in one order.
This is a unique approach to dining that removes the usual back-and-forth of picking a restaurant and instead gives everyone a say. With so many options available, it creates a convenient and flexible experience that nearly guarantees everyone leaves happy.
As per their website, “What makes Wonder special is its first-of-its-kind Multi-Restaurant Ordering, customers can mix and match dishes from multiple chefs and restaurants in a single order.”
Wonder opened its first brick-and-mortar food hall on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in February 2023. The company now operates more than 95 locations across New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., and plans to continue its rapid growth. By the end of 2026, Long Island alone could see up to eight Wonder food hall locations across Nassau and Suffolk counties.
You might be thinking how Wonder has expanded in a mind-boggling way. Why is that?
Consumers, especially families and groups, are looking for more choice without more effort. Instead of having to agree on one restaurant, people can select dishes from multiple kitchens in a single order, satisfying a range of tastes in one stop. It represents a completely different approach to ordering food.
What makes it even more convenient is that Wonder integrates online ordering, delivery, and pickup through apps and its website. Customers can mix and match items from different menus in one order, which boosts average ticket size and customer retention.
As Wonder continues to expand across Long Island, its arrival reflects a shift in how people are choosing to dine, prioritizing convenience, variety, and flexibility. With multiple cuisines available in a single order, the concept is carving out a new niche in the local food scene and offering a modern solution to the age-old question: “What’s for dinner?”
Wonder Food Hall is located at 5801 Sunrise Highway in Holbrook.
