I've never experienced any food hall that catered to foreigners in Thailand. Even at the one in Terminal 21, where the shopping mall itself is overflowing with foreigners of not the most pleasant kind, they all eat at the restaurants, not at the food hall. The food hall itself contains only a miniscule amount of foreigners, and I'm sure the vendors would be out of business in a matter of days if they started catering to the few foreigners I see there, instead of the countless amount of Thai.
That food is cheaper out in Laksi than in central Bangkok is not very surprising either. I'm sure rent and housing is a lot cheaper too.
