    First time here at this location and restaurant from Tampa and whoa momma the food was 😋. Love atomsphere. The drinks super yummy and light. Normally it's watered down or too strong but this one hits. I couldn't get enough of the taste of everything overall. Super friendly and catering. I went with my family and we all give super thumbs up. Loved it.

    This place is BOMB. I freaking loved the drinks, the food. Ramen never tasted better. I am generally away from fried chicken, but these Korean wings right here are just out of the world. We don’t live in FL, just when I thought I will miss this place, we found one next to our home. Will be going to there soon.

    Waited about an hour and a half to get a seat walked around which was fine I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and visiting the other shops in the area it took another 45 minutes to get the food it took approximately 13 minutes to get out of drinks after being seated very disappointed in the quality of the food it was cold and the noodles were undercooked doughy and clumped together. We had them take it back and when they brought us to plate back to the table we were already done eating so we got it to go and when we got home the noodles were still undercooked clump together and very nasty taste and couldn't eat it that was a waste of $16 the rice was dry i almost choke on it and I got it to go I ate most of it at home after I put a little water on it to moisten it up and reheated it I don't know if it because it was so busy that the quality of food just got worse or if that's how it is all the time it's my first time going to have my daughter swears by their food she was extremely disappointed in the quality of the food also this time but I still enjoy my father's day out with my daughter I didn't let it ruin my time

    Great food and a good experience. Service was slow but it was very busy. Everything we tried was really good. I would definitely go again.

    We love Hawkers! Every time we come the food, drinks, and service are awesome. There is usually a little wait time but it is totally worth it. Tonight we had Kermit as our server and he is a gentle giant who was attentive, friendly, and fast.

    This place is awesome! The food is sick, the vibes are chill! And our server Liz was the best. She told us her favorite item on the menu and had it done just how she likes it, and she was spot on! 10/10 would recommend.

    We came to Jacksonville for an antique store. We were on vacation. Before we pulled up to the store we saw this corner place bustling and people waiting outside. I thought , that must be a good place whatever it is. As we left the store we asked for food recommendations. She mentioned others and hawkers so we walked over there. We asked a couple outside if the food was good. They raved. We asked hostesses about the wait ms we didn’t want to wait because we had diner later in the day and had to drive back. So we saw two people leave the bar and quickly grabbed their seats within 5 min. The place was HOPPING! It was around 1-1:30. We noticed the kitchen was right around the corner and tiny but it looked like a well oiled machine. We ordered the steak bulgogi lettuce wraps so we could share and it wouldn’t be heavy. Then ordered chicken skewers, and chicken dumplings. Yes it’s a little wait but nothing terrible. I liked that as items weee ready they staggered the food to us. Enables us to start eating little by little. The skewers came out. Yummm! So tender. Then the siblings came out. They actually need more flavor. Kind of bland. That’s the reason for a four star rating. The place we go to in wisconsin is better. But the bulgogi, BLEW OUR MINDS!!! Omg, the flavors were to DIE FOR! I really wish they would join goldbelly.com so I can order them anytime lol. My hubby had never had a lettuce wrap and he l LOVES THEM. We left sooo happy. Staff are friendly and it’s a coo vibe. Just reimagine the dumplings? Or use pot instead?

    Stopped by after an event in the area with the family on an early sunday afternoon. We always love the roti canai here, and my kids were hungry so they had dumplings and egg rolls to start. They enjoyed them but my one son said the egg rolls were just OK. My wife opted for the pork BBQ buns which were good but the pork was slightly too chewy so it ate a bit dry. She liked the papaya salad but it needed a touch more fish sauce for her taste. I had the laksa for my main, it was nicely spiced at a mild to medium and had plenty of chicken and shrimp but the noodles were a touch over cooked. Our server, Kermit, was very attentive and yook good care of us. Overall it was very good and we left satisfied.

    We were invited here by some friends of ours, and I am so glad we went. My wife and I really enjoy trying new foods and Hawkers was amazing. We started with Golden Wontons and the Sichuan Wontons and both were very good, but the Sichuan were amazing! Next we had the spring rolls and the shrimp summer rolls. The Shrimp rolls were not bad, but they weren’t my favorite. Extreme high taste of basil and mint…it’s in the description…so nothing wrong with them, just not my thing. After all that we had the Chinese BBQ baos and the hot chicken baos. The hot chicken baos were the best thing I had that night. I could have eaten 10 of them! For our main entree I had the CKT and my wife had the Pad Thai, both of which were really good. We will definitely be back to Hawkers!

    Really enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food! Highly recommended if you like an Asian fusion bursting with flavor. Beverages and selection of beverages were on point as well as the overall decor and setting. Highly recommend stopping by and seeing for yourself! Thank you Kermit our server for the recommendations both food and beverage. This was our first visit and definitely won’t be our last.

    Came back to this place after a few years in between visits and it's still amazing, and even better in some aspects. Drink menu was completely remodeled and all of their drinks are top notch and really unique (highly recommend the "bull in a china shop" for an interesting tea-based cocktail). The food is just as good as I remembered it, especially the curry sauce! Kylan was a great server who brought all of our items out at a good pace. Will definitely return!

    Atmosphere is cool food is even better! Everything our waitress, Riley, suggested is amazing (chef’s kiss), from the drinks to the food. I had a really good experience and will definitely return. Pics pending

    Great restaurant with very friendly staff employed here. Personally the restaurant environment is very nice but a little on the loud side because the kitchen is so close to half of the eating areas. This review would have gotten a four stars but some of the items on the menu seemed a little over priced to me. For example, the banana spring rolls had only two spring rolls but costs 11 dollars. Please reference the photo in my review to see said spring rolls.

    The food here blew me away. Creative, tasty mix of flavors. Will definitely return! Only drawback- the shrimp wraps had hardly any shrimp.

    Hawker’s was my first stop for my trip to Jacksonville. I sure was craving Asian cuisine and this place is the place to go-to. The decor and atmosphere was very lively and see why it is. The food was fantastic and delightful especially the Roast Duck Bao. The Bao is so simple few ingredients which makes it amazing and always been my favorite. The other dishes Roti, C.K.T, Singapore definitely complement each other and can hold its own. Viet-Spresso was a very good twist to the popular espresso martini but more of kicker going into the veins. As I’m typing this, I can taste all the food once again. *multiple items can be made gluten free such as the Singapore Mei fun and the servers are open to finding alternatives for your restrictions.

    Listen!! You gotta come here. The HOST IS AWESOME. Shout to Yancy McQueen for having the spirit of excellence. I was greeted with a smile and he also multitask and help pick up plates on the table. My server was great as well. If you are looking for a great atmosphere, great food and people, come to this location. Note: This is my SECOND time coming to this location within this week (don’t judge me, just come and hang).

    Yummy food to do table sharing, great atmosphere, amazing service!!! There was not one thing that came to the table that we didn't love. My only complaint would be my soup dumplings had no soup, but they were still super yummy all the same.

  • 4/5 Harry Z. 9 months ago on Google
    Overall good food. Dan Dan noodle and Beef haw fan were very tasty while Hong Kong wonton soup was somewhat bland. The soup dumplings were good but could use a bit more soup inside. Good service. But the food seems a bit pricey . Would return to try some other items.

    The food is always top tier at Hawkers. We always get the roti canai and the twice fried Korean wings and they didn’t disappoint this time either. The fried rice with duck was a unique surprise, it was really good. We also ordered the lo mein. Again, great food, and a good atmosphere. Our waitress just wanted us to order. It seemed like she was trying to rush us and she wasn’t very welcoming. The hostess had a great attitude.

    Came for lunch midday on a Thursday and the food and service was awesome. Our server, Mordicai recommend trying the pad Thai and the roti canai, and was delicious. The blackberry jasmine tea was also amazing. 10/10 would visit again.

  • 4/5 Mayoree T. 8 months ago on Google
    This was my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The ambiance is very cool and the inside of the restaurant is Asian inspired and I would describe it as fast-paced Asian street food like famous foods in Vegas! I had to give it 4 stars instead of five because we got seated right away but had to almost wait 20+ minutes for the waitress to serve us. The chicken and shrimp pad Thai was yummy and had just the right amount of spice! I will definitely visit hawkers again soon!

    This was our first time Eating here. My Son and I always like to try new places to eat at and we have a well rounded palette so when we came across this place and it’s menu online we thought why not hop in the car and go try it out! Needless to say the food was amazing the atmosphere was cool and very chill the service was great Brittany our server was awesome and she was super knowledgeable about the menu and for me having a coconut allergy really helped me with any substitutions that we may need! We definitely have added this to one of our top 5 restaurants to return to for sure! If you’re looking for something different I truly recommend and I give it a 10/10! Oh and don’t pass up the dessert! The banana egg rolls with ice cream, raspberry and peanut butter drizzle is to die for!!!!

    Where do I start? Appetizers: Roti Caninis a must. Bread was hot and the sauce was out of this world. Order 2. Yi-Yi's Chicken Dumplings and the dipping sauce were great. Korean twice fried wings. Freaking excellent! Pad Thai. Phenomenal! Yaki Udon. Fantastic. Steak Lo Mein, OFF THE CHARTS. So much flavor. Our server Thomas was informative and funny.

    Kinda pricey Asian food but what you pay for is what you get and everything they make is fresh, made to order, and you won't get sick. We've been going since they opened and unless something magically changes we will continue to go. Thanks for the great food! Be very specific with the waiter or waitress about your drinks. They are a tad bit different

  • 5/5 Dopecello 2 years ago on Google
    Hawkers always comes through with great tasting Asian-Fusion fare. Drinks here are also great. Our waiter, Shannon, was very helpful in describing the different food options and is super nice! Would definitely come back again

    We came in, sat at the bar. Sarah, our server, was very friendly and helpful! The food was 10/10 per usual. We ordered Pad Thai, Korean twice fried wings and the chicken eggrolls. Everything was amazing
