The smaller plate concept is perfect for me, as I really enjoy trying a few bites of multiple different things and this format enabled all of us to sample a variety of dishes on the menu. I'm almost 4 months behind in getting these pictures posted and getting the review written...but the positive memories of everything that we tasted are still pretty strong. Since the list of the dishes we ordered and tried is quite lengthy and there wasn't a single one of them that we didn't like, I'll just list everything that we ordered here and you can find pictures of each below as well as in the embedded video. For our dinner we had the following (see the order form we filled out at the restaurant below as well as a QR code to see pictures of all of their menu items in the pictures below): - Spicy Cucumber Salad - Soup Dumpling w/ Pork (6) - Pan Fired Bao Bites (8) - Dan Dan Noodle - Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Fried Rice (Chicken) - Beef Pancake Roll - Zen Chili Wontons (6) - Signature Xlb Sampler (6) If you found this review helpful, please Share, Follow & Like.

Beverages seem limited - Typical cold ice tea is unavailable.Water was served in a metal can. As noted in other reviews they are likely to seat you wherever if you allow it - seats facing the front door will have you staring into the sun in the afternoon or early evening. The service was fine otherwise. The whole thing would be ok if they stuck with the 'local authentic dumpling shop' vibe consistently including price, but cost was high for what you get.

I have to say that everything was average to above average and I was especially surprised that the pad Thai was as good as it was. Also a big plus for very healthy portions where each entrée is really enough for two people. Also give the place plus for having it ready in less than 15 minute call in for pick up. Would gladly go back and try additional items. Sorry but not able to take pictures

We ordered miso soup, hot and sour soup,Edamame, salt and pepper calamari, chicken and shrimp pad thai and house special fried rice. Soups were fantastic. The best hot and sour I have had in a long time, rich and the right balance of hot and sour. Miso soup was great but my husband the salt freak added salt. My only bad review here will be the salt and pepper calamari was so overfried, no tentacles and no fresh jalapeños. Didn't care for that dish. Pad thai had 4 large shrimp and house special friend rice has 2. Overall, would definitely come back for sushi to review.

I think this restaurant would be more well liked if they had better heat lamps. It's true that some of the food is not warm. It's not cold either but the heat lamps are not heat lamping properly. I also wouldn't rec the sushi. But overall it's not bad. If you're craving Americanized Chinese food this place can scratch the itch okay.

I checked the reviews before I went and found the comment on faulty heat lamp was valid, i.e., the so called "French-style salmon" was cold and fishy, the "stuffed oysters" was horrible. Decent dessert items and ice cream variety. Overall the restaurant is relatively clean. Bathroom fixtures are old and need renovation. Staff are friendly. I would recommend this place for value and lunch, a quiet place for casual catching up with old friends! I posted the current menu and pricing since the one I saw on yelp was at least a year or 3 yrs ago, hope you find it current and helpful.

Food seems to be mostly tapas style offering small plates for sharing. I ordered the the chili wontons, chicken wings, and Hong Kong sticky ribs. The ribs were the favorite but everything was great.

Service was great throughout the experience, and we were seated immediately on a Saturday night at 8:45. Overall I would recommend and return to Hawkers.

All of the servers I've experienced are very friendly. They have many different kinds of tea also, but I haven't tried any yet. They all look really tasty and you can add different toppings to customize your tea. The egg rolls are a favorite for me and my husband- they're so delicious & crispy. We order it with siracha & soy sauce instead of the sauce it comes with- simply just a personal preference. I usually get the Spicy Tuna Avocado salad but they don't always have it. (which I'm ok with because they make sure the tuna is fresh) I have gotten the shrimp and mushroom rice platter before and it is very tasty as well. My husband loves their Bahn Mi sandwiches- he tries a different one every time and always is very satisfied! If you are in downtown Tampa, I would suggest you definitely check out Fusion Bowl. Many different options and very fresh and delicious.

There are sauces on the table, but if you enjoy seasoned, flavorful dishes, this place probably isn't for you.

The flavors blended so well together. I wanted to eat more. Garlic prawns were delish, and shareable, the braised short rib udon was also tasty. The salmon crudo was 3/5, it could've used more flavor. End of the night they offered us free ice cream- tasted like coffee with other delish vanilla and crushed ube cookie.

However, while Hurricane Helene was approaching, we lost power pretty early in the day, so ordered this place for delivery. The delivery time was listed as a very fast time, but it did take about 45 minutes to receive from order to delivery. I'll be completely honest, this was mediocre at best. My son ordered teriyaki beef skewers and plain lo mein. The lo mein was unseasoned. It tasted like plain boiled pasta. The teriyaki beef wasn't too bad; it tasted good but was completely dry. I got the Mongolian beef combo meal and my partner got the bourbon chicken combo meal. Both were very bland. The fried rice was basic at best. I bit into many hard peas. The egg rolls are absolutely terrible. They tasted frozen, they were barely warm, and they felt like they were pre-fried and sitting out. The common theme with everything we ordered was bland food made with cheap ingredients. We honestly couldn't finish any of this food with one exception: my son did finish the teriyaki beef. Realistically, I don't think we would ever order here or eat in this place just because all of the food was pretty tasteless, the quality was subpar, and I just frankly can't spend my money at places that are ok with serving substandard food.
