Hawkers Asian Street Food

Food is delicious. We got the Yaki udon, crispy tofu, spring rolls, shishito peppers, and roti (not pictured). Definitely worth going back again and again just for the perfectly cooked tofu in the yaki udon and buttery, flaky roti. Dishes come out one at a time so everything is as fresh as possible, but if you're hungry it might not be the place to go. Overall, great pick!

First time coming to Hawkers!! Service and food is definitely A+!! Everyone was so nice and I recommend ordering for the whole table so you can try everything!! :)

The service here was great and food service was very quick. We had the Seoul hot chicken bao and egg rolls to start which were both tasty and had The perfect amount of spice. We also tried the roti which was good with the creamy curry. I also had the curry duck noodles which has a very nice Thai or Vietnamese flavor and good heat. My friend was very impressed with the lo mein with chicken as he said it better than a traditional lo mein.

We ordered quite a few items on the menu:
The sticky ribs A+
Bulgogi A
Korean Twice fried wings B+
Edamame (comes with spice) A
Chow Faan A
Beef Haw Fun B+
Loved the selection and will certainly come back.

Hawkers is nestled in Orlando in the Mills Area. This place is always so busy - every time we go - and it's evident as to why. There is inside and outside seating available. Every time we have family here visiting - we always bring them to Hawkers. We love to get a ton of dishes and share them to optimize trying even more items! The food and the service are always consistent and great.

My go-to is the roti with the dipping sauce. That sauce is one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted. I would pour that on everything that I eat. The bao buns are always delicious and a staple when I go, along with the twice fried Korean Wings. I always also have to get a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. There's such a plethora of noodle and rice dishes, we're still working our way through trying them all.

In the last 18 months, I've had two children and what food do I always want once they're both here - Hawkers!

Every time I leave here, I am always impatient to get back again!

This was a unique experience for me as I do not usually eat tapas. First, I will say that the building is larger than it looks from the street however, the parking lot is small. If going on a busy night try and find some close street parking.

The interior also is fairly loud which may hinder an intimate date location. It definitely seemed to be a better place for groups but I don't think a group larger than 5-6 would be comfortable.

The menu is large enough for anyone to find something but also designed to need several visits to try everything. I did not plan accordingly and would have had a lighter lunch to get more food in this trip. Also, the food comes out as made, so some things come quicker than others. However, worth the wait but also good to know if planning an event after.

I had lamb skewers and summer rolls and they were great. The lamb was so tender. While designed to be shared, I personally wanted it all for myself because of how good it was. The sauce that comes with it compliments the skewer very well while not taking away from any of the perfection of the lamb.

The spring rolls were great! I'm used to them also having chicken in there but found that the shrimp on its own with the peanut sauce was excellent. The rolls were made so well that none of the filling fell out as I ate.

We also had the curry duck noodles. This was FANTASTIC. Worth the wait. I would go just for this. The noodles have perfect flavor and the curry was not too spicy nor too mild. The duck is shredded enough to allow to eat with chopsticks and not worry about eating all your meat before finishing the noodles.

They have sake but only cold and by the glass. The flight is probably the best option if you prefer sake and don't want to do a full bottle.

All in all, I loved this visit and would definitely go back. The service was great and the food was amazing.

I keep forgetting to go here! Finally went out with my wife for Valentines Day here and holy shit all the food was so good. I don't think I needed the bao buns but had them anyway since I thought I needed them. Ordered a bunch of food and every single thing was better than the next including the desert which were these donuts that had coconut dipping sauce. The donuts are somewhat of a fake ass zeppoli and not heavy at all, so like a liter zeppoli.
Waitress was great, she knew everything about the menu and told us everything we needed to know. It was raining and we sat outside but its covered so no big deal but the streets were pretty loud with the cars on it. I would say sitting outside in the day time would be better. They had the heaters on outside too which good as fuck.
NEED TO GO BACK. Didnt realize it was a chain as well so kind of a let down but not since the food was so good.

I first reviewed Hawkers about five years ago. I have a general rule that I try not to go back to the same restaurant again until my personal five year "statute of limitations" has passed. This forces me to continue to explore and try new places.

But when you have a place as special as Hawkers, I have no choice but to break my own rules. And I have certainly broken them. I've probably been to Hawkers two dozen times since 2019. And I have no regrets.

Obviously, the people love it, too. There are many more new locations since 2019. I just hope quantity doesn't lead to the decline in quality, like a few other local chains have suffered from. So far, so good, though, every time is just like the first time, and they certainly aren't afraid to try new, awesome menu items!

I brought a friend here to show them the awesomeness at the end of last summer, and they were in the middle of a seasonal menu. So I had to get a seasonal item. Who knew if I would ever see it again! Of course, it was such a banger, that it is now on their regular menu.

I got the Duck Fried Rice (Five-spice hand-pulled duck, lap cheong, egg, crispy shallots, and veggies. Optional fried duck leg add-on). Yes, yes, yes. Delicious, tender duck. Fried shallots. Great flavor throughout. A good portion size. And yes, I got that duck leg, which was more delicious meat. I was in heaven. They have a winner here.

Of course we also got the Roti Canai. I haven't ever gone to Hawkers and not gotten the Roti. It's the perfect appetizer. Thin, flakey, crispy roti. A heavenly little bowl of the signature curry sauce. Friendships have been forged over this dish. Lovely.

So year, I don't have a ton to write from my most recently visit, but I've already been again since even this visit, and I anticipate that 2024 will be my most Hawkers filled year yet!

I have to say I was a little disappointed when I went to Hawkers a couple weeks ago. It has been a. While since I have been, but I was not as impressed as I thought I was when I first went several years ago.

I want to start off by saying that the service we received was OK. The server I believe his name was Mitch, was well mannered, but it did take some time for him to come over to us, and for us to get our food and drinks and check I don't think that was necessarily his fault but I do believe that they were maybe short staffed and that that is the reason it was taking so long. Otherwise he was very friendly and have a good recommendations.

The menu was surprisingly small for what I thought they could offer. I was a little disappointed that they did not have any sushi or any other type of fresh Asian cuisine. I did like the wings and the Bao filled with duck we had was just okay. But for $70 it was nowhere near enough food and we had to stop at a different restaurant to fill up. I think that the menu is lackluster. And that the food did not really stand out to me.

I most likely will not return to a Hawkers as I feel that you can get a better selection at other Asian restaurants.

What a cool little place. This used to be a Chinese restaurant a long time ago before it became Hawkers. This was my first time to this place. I didn't eat anything today so I could try as much as I could for a late lunch. Parking lot is a bit small but there is a bunch of parking along the neighborhood side streets. It's a tapas kinda place where the food cones out when it's ready not all at once. It is a good thing too as the tables for 2 are slightly smaller than the amount of food I was about to order:)

Started out with a little drink called the O.G. Painkiller. A little rum, pineapple and coconut never hurt anybody:) great drink to sip on while we waited for all the food.

Let's steady with the best thing we ate. The Roti Canai. This flaky piece of carbohydrate was so good that we argued on who would get the last bite. We settled the argument and just ordered more lol.. the curry dipping sauce was so delicious and tasty that whatever was left was used to dip some of the other food that came to the table.

The crispy pork belly and crispy tofu bites were also really good the pork belly came with a hoisin dipping sauce and the tofu had some five spice action going on. These were of course also dipped into the left over curry from the Roti Canai dish:)
Ask for the spice sauce tray. It comes with 3 different sauces. The green one has some Thai chili's, some citrus and a small hint of fish sauce. The orange one is salsa like with i think a habanero based sauce. And the red one is their chilli oil. All three were unique and made each bite of food different than the last.

The KFC came out as the vegetable egg rolls came out. At this time we knew we needed to make some room so we started to devour everything in sight. The egg rolls were crispy and came with a little vinegar based sauce. The KFC was a slightly heavier than others if tried in the batter but it was still tasty, sweet and savory. Then came the soup dumplings! Hot fresh and a perfect vessel for the chilli oil. The last dumpling I put all 3 sauces on it and it was actually really tasty:) it did come with some soy sauce and some thinly sliced ginger as well which was also a great bite. I gotta say it, I had a great time Stuffing my face with all this food. So much more to taste. I look forward to coming back and crowding my table with several plates of food.
