    If you’re looking for something quick and efficient this is fine. If you’re looking for something flavorful where you can dine in with friends and family then no. The seating area is very small on the inside. I sat outside with my family and it was one fan blowing on everything. Let’s say some people were unhappy about that. I asked to be seated where the sun wasn’t shining on us and they told me they had some issues with that. Then a few minutes later they seated another family there. Our food came out at a good time. We had the Pad Thai and the steak fried kimchi. With shrimp summer egg rolls. The pad Thai was a 10/10 the Steak was a 5/10 and the summer shrimp egg rolls came with two pieces of shrimp so I’d say a 3/10. Every thing was dry. We also ordered the Painkiller drink 10/10. The actually waiters did a good job. I’m going to tip regardless but I’d say a 7/10. Would I come back to this location, no. Would I continue eating Hawkers? Yes., Been coming here for years. Food comes out extremely hot as it's fresh and is always delicious. My favorite is the Beef Haw Fun. The roti canai is excellent! Service is on point. Terrence the bartender is personable and very attentive, especially with food allergies. Stop by, you won't be disappointed!, I was honestly not excited to come to this restaurant. I was hot, super bad mood, did not feel good at all. Needless to say I was over it before it started. 🤣 I am also very very picky about Asian food. My body is sensitive even though I Want to try new things. This place....beyond my expectations. The food was impeccable. I of course wanted to be annoyed at prices. But omg...worth it...and for what you get even more worth it. High quality freshly made food. We had to wait a tiny bit based on what we ordered but it was like 10 of us. Considering and how busy and packed it was it wasn't long at all. Apatizers were out fast. Wontons! Bomb! We had leftovers and the servers were amazing. They explained everything you needed. While we waited the bartender was sweet and funny. And she let us look at menus while we waited on our table. Music was great. The lights are a nice touch. Turning down lights for dinner was nice. It's family owned from what I heard and family recipes. I can't wait to go back tbh. And the donuts are yum. Not to sweet. Perfect. The chicken appetizers are huge and amazing....never had a better one. Wonton bomb I got basil fried rice with steak added veggies! The bread with the dip was on point., I don't know who from Michelin recommend this place but it was average at best. I can only describe it as Asian inspired food for people who don't like what traditional Asian food tastes like. The kim chi was chopped up almost diced but not very kim chi flavored. The lamb skewers were so salty but lacked any identity of flavor, the pork belly was decent but the hoisin killed it. The papaya salad was the worst, it had no lime flavor, no fish sauce or any spice that you would expect from a traditional papaya salad. The service is decent but very slow to attention. My advice is to go to authentic Asian restaurant unless you just don't like Asian food., Definitely interesting with Hawkers bringing the concept of Asian street food to the States. The vibe and environment made me feel very much like Gen Z, which is great because I felt young and in college again. We had Korean twice fried wings, chicken lo mein, chow fam and spiced lamb skewers. Quite pricey with it being $60 and some change plus tip, but it was good to go for the experience. Their tables have Chinese newspapers in them.
