We ordered a variety of small plates that were delivered over a period of 15 minutes even though we each only ordered one plate. Some food was overcooked and the quality of the meat was only moderate. Wouldn't go back...

This young hip restaurant serves either large noodle and rice bowls or small tasting portions. If your group likes to share, you will get a lot of really unique flavors. Noisy and fun.

Had a great dinner here. Plates are mostly small and very sharable. Make sure you try several different dishes. Everything comes out of the kitchen hot and fresh. I enjoyed all of the food. The Chili Crab was probably my favorite. Also had egg rolls, Pad thai, coconut shrimp, and Asian Wings. Our waitress was on top of everything all night, I always had a beer in front of me! The kitchen was a little slow on one of our dishes and she left that item off of the bill which was very nice! I never felt like we were waiting too long for anything. We arrived at about 630 on a Friday evening and were able to get seated immediately. The restaurant was packed, standing room only by 7pm. I can understand why people like eating here. The restaurant has a great vibe and the food is delicious. If you are expecting traditional dim sum then this is not your place. I wouldn't call the food authentic asian fare, but there are some delicious takes on some asian inspired items. Really enjoyed this meal!

Yuk. Smelly and greasy. The pad Thai was gross and tasted like 2 week old grease from a dirty fryolator. Everything had an old greasy smell to it. Never again.

Dinner for 5 friends on June 8, 2021. Half of the menu was 86'd(meaning out of that option), half of the beer was not available. Our server missed most things, did not time the food, in the main dining room, there were no less than 30 boxes of wine and beer stacked. Which was probably the beers we ordered that they were out of. Unfortunately they missed the mark. Even if the food was tasty the process was far too disappointing to return.

Previously gave restaurant a one star and faulted them on their safety measures. Apologies and a correction is in order. We revisited and were advised that if a guest entered without a mask, they were handed one and if they refused to mask up, the guest would be asked to leave. With that information, we were guided to a banquette seat, separated by a clear plastic/glass divider from the adjoining seat. Overall sanitation and safety practices were excellent. As for the food, fantastic! We enjoyed three appetizers and one small plate. All prepared to order with just the right amount of spice for me. My better half was more than satisfied with the additional hot spices served to meet her more heat oriented tastes. Service was timely and not overbearing. Overall, we are very fortunate to have revisited Hawkers in St Pete and had the opportunity to enjoy their great food and service. We’ll definitely return and now will check out our Orlando Hawkers.

Lunch with friends was disappointing on just about every level. Had a good glass of wine for $11. Ordered the chicken lo mein. Terrible! Four or five little, tiny pieces of chicken in a flat plate overflowing with spaghetti and smothered in soy sauce. Otherwise, no taste whatsoever! Meals for the table came out one by one. In addition to being terrible, my meal never came until we eventually flagged our server, who we hadn’t seen since we ordered, to ask about my meal. She checked with the kitchen. The chef missed that part of the order. Perhaps that’s why it was so tasteless. Seemed like he threw it together. Can’t see ever returning.

Hawkers is generally good, however our last visit was extremely disappointing. We were a party of 5 and 4 ordered the same dish but only 3 came out. Appetizers were also ordered and came long after the main dishes. Then what really made this visit terrible was that 4 of us completed our meals and the 5th meal never arrived. I asked for the MOD and she could not respond to why the meal was completely overlooked. "it happens" was all she could say. Very disappointed service staff. Obviously we did not pay for that meal and they removed one other dish from the bill. I just wanted an explanation for the bad service but they totally avoided giving me an answer. Beware!

We have tried several times to get in to this place but always had at least a 45 minute wait. We decided to go early (5:30). Got a table right away and were immediately greeted by our waitress. She explained how things we ordered were brought out and gave us insight to the menu. The food was amazing as well as the service. The atmosphere was causual and inviting. Can't wait top return again.

Ordered a bunch of supposedly spicy dishes to share, but all of them were really bland. When we asked for hot sauce we got a plate with three small cups of different hot sauces. That helped a lot and made the food way more flavorful.

My husband and a few friends went there yesterday for lunch. Since I was working at home, my husband brought me takeout. The roti canai is still sold, but the sauce served alongside was barely edible, an enormous amount of sodium, or whatever else. They should be looking out for people with blood pressure issues, rather than cooks who smoke and can't taste anything. I haven't been here in nearly 3 years, b/c of my last experience with being verbally accosted by another customer who had a lot to drink. When I asked for the manager (or maybe just the bar manager) excused him. Well, that's why I haven't been there for so long. Never again. There are other good Asian places in the area.

We have dined at Hawkers many times and especially enjoyed their Happy Hour menu. That menu is NOT HAPPY any longer. The bao were the only things on the menu. Beer was half off and my husband ordered a few. When the bill came, he automatically added a tip and paid. While still at the table I asked him to check it for I thought it too high. While doing this the waiter came rushing to our table say”wait I made a mistake .” He did not price anything half price. I think he knew it and when he saw us looking over the bill after it was paid, he knew he was caught. Be careful! Check your bill for every item.

Oh no, Holly - I am so sorry to hear that this happened to you. I would love to speak to you directly about your service and learn who your server was. It is not our policy to add gratuity to checks and obviously we owe you your half off! I am the Area Director, and my email is ilee@eathawkers.com. If you email me I'll give you my cell so we can speak. Also, I'd love you have you back to try to make the hour Happy again. We have an expanded HH menu that we just launched!

I love the menu at Hawkers, so many great choices. Tonite the tempura green beans which I could snack on all nite, a delicious and rich bowl of laksa, so good and delivered piping hot. Started with their roti which is always flaky hot and delicious. Love this spot, you have a lot of good choices on Central Ave - but this is a great one.

Took one of my friends here, and we had to revisit again the next nite. The roti is always perfect and flakey here, szechuan dumplings are a favorite as well and perfect this week. Excellent tasty food and a very good value. Usually very easy to park at lunch or dinner. I would give Hawkers 6 stars for value if I could, excellent meal at a great price.

We've been to other Hawkers locations so we expected to enjoy the food. It was great, and the service was even better. Amanda told my wife that they would be able to accommodate her shellfish allergy. Our server Brittany did a great job making sure the kitchen was aware. This is a life-and-death issue, so we really do appreciate them taking the time and paying attention to this. We had spring rolls which were good, Kimchi Fried Rice (made so we could eat it) that was great, and the Char Siu which was terrific. Others are out table complimented their dishes just as much. A great take on Asian - definitely going back when we are in the area!!
