Hawkers Asian Street Food

This is an old review but still worth the read. This was our 6th Hawkers at the time and by far the most eclectic experience, the crowd, graffiti, trains, crowd, and community. Oh yeah, Hawkers, South End Charlotte is more eclectic than the Belt line Atlanta. If you are a Hawkers fan, please put it on your bucket list. The service and food were exceptional as always and the vibe was wonderful. We had Korean Fried wings with sauce and a 5 spice piece rub- perfect. We added Roti, Shrimp and Chicken Lo Mein, and Basil Fried rice with chicken. Com’on man, 🛑insanely good. We also had a few drinks and as usual the Lemon Grass Mojito in bag 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 With that, again I highly recommend this Hawkers in South End Charlotte; oh when you done, can you imagine a Jeni’s Ice cream 🍨??? Oh yeah next door! Oh thank you so much South End for the 29th anniversary card, gifts, and pictures while we were in Hawkers Nashville visiting #7! Classy as ever!

I had a wonderful experience! I decided to have my college graduation dinner at hawkers. The staff was very accommodating for my large party and they were overly generous. Carolina was an attentive and caring server. We ordered over 60 small plates to share and everything was hot and delicious. The staff even surprised me with a graduation gift and dessert! This truly was the highlight of my day and one of the best dining experiences I have ever had! Personalized interactions with customers go a long way so thank you to the management and team at Hawkers for making my dinner memorable❤️

The food is delicious. The cocktails are bueno. Food came out pretty quickly and the waitress was very attentive. I ordered duck bao, pork belly bao, soup dumplings, 2 cocktails. In the end I duck curry noodles to go. The front page of their menu is small plates and full size entrees on back. I had small plates and cocktails at the restaurant. The flavors on that pork belly bao are10/10 Everything was tasty. My only gripe is with anything with duck in it. The meat was flavored to perfection but there wasn’t a lot of it at all. My duck bao was mostly garnish’s while my pork belly bao was a nice thick portion. Later when I opened the duck curry noodles it was shreds of meat scattered sparingly throughout. It would have been nice to see a fillet but nevertheless the flavor was good. I would return just order different items. I love espresso cocktails and that was so delightful.

Came here with my mother and sister for an early dinner for the first time today and had the most amazing experience dining here! Our server Shannon was amazing and really helped us decide what we wanted and made the experience even better. Our food was so delicious and we wouldn’t change a thing about it (it also helps that it’s very inexpensive). Along with all of that the inside of the place is beautiful and has some really cool artwork and good music playing. Overall this was a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend it, we will be coming back in the future.

Really good food with a cool "Chinatown alley" decor. Inside and outside seating, with umbrellas. Staff were super nice and our waitress was really good, knew the menu and offered meaningful and toasty suggestions. It took a while to get seated but we were there at peak time on Friday night. Think small plates and sharing though some of the bowls are plenty for one person. Excellent and creative cocktails as well.

Nice outdoor patio for the warm weather. Great spot to grab some lite bites. Our waitress Shannon was amazing! She was super attentive and providedfantastic recommendations. Will def be coming back!

Had a great lunch here with my partner and another couple. It was my first time, and I loved the vibe here~ The servers were so sweet and the food came out fairly quick! The cocktails were also super yummy. Unfortunately, the tofu wasn't flavored very well for the Korean Banchan Salad, but I still enjoyed it :) I'll be back again soon.

The music and the atmosphere were great for relaxing and enjoying good food. I enjoyed my self and my recommendation is try the bao buns and bulgogi steak 😘👌🏾chef’s kiss. Shout out to our server Shannon. She did great and was very attentive. We got a lot of food.

Vibe is 100% Service is 100% Food is AMAZING! 10000% Not sure I can say more, favorite thing on the menu is the curry ramen. Would order over and over again and once more on uber eats to eat in bed.

Hawkers Asian Street Food is a MUST when visiting Charlotte. So why the four stars? Honestly, it's based on how pick-up went my last visit (which I would have knocked down a few more stars but the food is so good). So let's start with the to-go order. I arrived when the email said to arrive. I was not greeted by the hostesses first, I actually said "hello, how are you" first. I said my name for pick-up, they looked at one of two bags and said it wasn't ready yet. I assumed the other bag was with that order. I waited for over 25 minutes inside. No one came up to me to ask if I needed anything or if my order was still being made. Nothing. So I gave up and went back to ask. They looked at the other bag and it was mine. I politely said that I've been waiting 25 minutes and they never checked that bag and it was mine this entire time. No apology, no thank you, NOTHING. The service here for pick-up is horrible and if I was solely basing my review on that, it would be 1 star without a question. HOWEVER. The food is phenomenal. It's savory, it's made with love, it will make you visit twice in one week. Hawkers will leave your spouse wondering what you're thinking about at night. Is it the sticky ribs that has you licking your lips or the twice fried wings that makes you drool? No, it's that Roti Canai that keeps you up at night wondering if you'll ever get a taste of that delicious curry dipping sauce again. Whatever has your mind spinning, it's definitely something from Hawkers. Parking is not the best, I lucked out with parking right at the front but you might not be so lucky. It's also very crowded in that area, so just be warned. The food is worth and yes, even with the awful to-go service, I will be back. Soon.

After three years I finally made it back! I've not stopped thinking about how good this food is. Every single thing is amazing but this trip I ordered the roast duck and Chinese bbq pork bao buns and golden wontons. To go I ordered the bong king sticky ribs and way too many roti canai. (My roommate was with me on our first time and couldn't be with me this trip so I had to bring her favorites back to her.) We desperately need a Hawkers to open in Charleston. It would do phenomenal! The staff is always so pleasant and attentive. I'm general the place looks great. It's such a cool vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking is available as well garage parking right around the corner. 10/10 recommend

Great atmosphere!!!Good Vibe!! Our server Shannon was outstanding!! And the food is AMAZING!!! Had Seoul Hot Chicken BAO, seared chicken dumplings, sticky ribs, Lou Rou Fan, Curry Laksa Ramen, Bibimbap, Bulgogi Steak, Lo Mein and spring rolls!!!!! Simply AMAZING!!! Server was over the MOON !!!! A definite place I would make a trip to Charlotte (again) to eat !!!!

Loved the vibe at Hawkers! The Asian comic book wallpaper added a cool, unique touch to the atmosphere, and I really enjoyed the small plate concept. It's a great spot for trying a little bit of everything. The service however was a bit hit or miss during our visit. It seemed like we came at a hectic time, so we hardly saw our bartender, and the food took m a while to come out. We also ordered the spring rolls, only to be told about 30 minutes later that they were unavailable. Definitely not ideal, but to their credit, they took the bao buns off our bill to make up for it, which we appreciated. Once things settled down, we ordered the Lo Mein and it was perfect. Seriously flavorful and cooked just right. I also tried the "Tiger Tail" cocktail on the bartender's recommendation. it was a nice balance of sweet and spicy, and a fun drink to sip on. Overall, despite a few bumps in the road, I'd absolutely give it another shot, especially when it's not as busy. The food and atmosphere are worth it!

Ate here on a solo date and loved it! It's pretty loud but I had my headphones in, but I imagine if you were here with other people it might be hard to hear conversations haha. My server was very kind and checked in often. Most of the food came out quickly, the curry duck noodle took a minute and by the time it came out I was full haha. LOVED the roti canai and I wish I bought 10 orders so I could take it home haha. I would definitely recommend getting that with an extra order of the flatbread. Kimchi was good but I didn't love how it was chopped up to small pieces. Cucumber salad was also good! I loved the korean twice fried wings and have only good things to say. The curry duck noodle was good, but i did get tired of it after a few bites.

Loved the vibe of the place - was very artistic/hip looking. Food was yum, I definitely recommend the bao buns.

great place. would go again. I got the Curry Mash, which was super good and unique. Curry gravy and mashed potatoes. amazing. Also twice fried chicken which was very good. Spring rolls were simple and perfect. fun inside and it's in a nice area for outdoor seating. well priced as well.

Food 9/10 Ambiance 10/10 Service 6/10 Love the decor and aesthetic of this place. The inside/outside touch was perfect the day we went. The bao buns had great flavor, but didn't blow me away, I got the spice plate to add some extra umph to it. We sat at the bar and the bartender was less than attentive but very nice.

Great spot for app hopping! The noodles here are always on par and the staff always have amazing personalized recommendations. The vibe of the restaurant is that of an upscale but approachable chain. Love it here!

I absolutely loved the overall vibe. The décor was visually stunning and and thoughtfully designed. The food and drinks were excellent! We especially enjoyed the Xiao long bao, duck bao, Panang Curry Fries, Korean wings, and kimchi! The only dish that didn't quite meet our expectations was the five-spice green beans. Service was attentive and accommodating, and we truly appreciated that they were able to seat our family of three comfortably with a high chair. We'll definitely be back!

I tried Hawker's when I was visiting Charlotte for work. I thought it was very good! Not the best I've had but super tasty. The soup dumplings were good but not enough broth. The roti canai was excellent. Tofu bites good but maybe needed a sauce. Chili cucumbers were great as well. Service was just okay IMO. Our server never gave us plates so we had to ask and didn't really come back to check on us. Also, we had been done for awhile and I had to flag someone down to get our check. Cool/trendy place overall though. I likely would go back.

Massive Letdown - Frozen Food, False Advertising, & Zero Quality Control I don't understand the hype around this place. The only positive was the service--friendly and attentive--but the food was a major letdown, especially for the price. If you've never experienced authentic dim sum, you might not notice how wrong this place is doing you. But as someone who knows - and deeply respects - this cuisine, I found this experience borderline offensive. This isn't just mediocre food; it's a disrespectful attempt of traditional dim sum and Asian street food culture. The SOUP DUMPLINGS are advertised as a "generations-old recipe," tasted straight out of a frozen bag--because they *were*. When I asked the server, she confirmed they were frozen store-bought. For $13, you get a few mediocre dumplings identical to the ones you can buy in bulk at Costco for a fraction of the price. Why pay restaurant markup for something I can (and would rather) steam at home? The LU ROU FAN was equally disappointing. The rice was bland, and the pickled mustard greens had a revolting, almost rancid taste--like what I think trash juice at the bottom of a container would taste like. I usually love pickled mustard greens, but these were inedible, and I had to pick them out one by one. To make it worse, the dish was supposed to come with a **soft-boiled egg**, but it arrived cut in half clearly hard-boiled instead. I had to ask for a correction--does the kitchen not check what they're serving? Lastly my coworker ordered the DUCK BAO and shocking... it was another fail. The bao itself was rubbery and chewy--like it had been nuked in the microwave instead of steamed fresh. The menu promised "fluffy" bao, but this was the opposite. The duck meat was "okay", but not enough to save the dish. Overall, nothing tasted fresh or thoughtfully prepared. ALL the food had a pre-made, frozen, store-bought quality, which is unacceptable for these prices. Save your money--this place is not worth it.

Not my first time here. For sure not my last. But it is my first time getting delivery. The food is amazing. Anything you get is going to have flavor, complimenting textures, and the smell alone will make your mouth water. My favorite thing are the Korean Twice Fried Wings. They do have a little kick to them but milddddd. I dream about these wings . But seriously they are delicious. The bao buns are so fluffy! The chicken on these particular bao buns were extra crunchy, so not my favorite. I will say... I hope they bring back the duck fried rice me and my fiance would sometimes go JUST for that. If you go in person there is no parking lot directly attached so you have to find street parking or walk from a parking lot. Just a heads up.

I love the food and vibe at Hawkers--amazing flavors and a great atmosphere. However, our server Jose (wearing a "McLovin" shirt) provided terrible service. Despite arriving early when the restaurant was empty, we were ignored while others who came later were served first. Jose was inattentive and slow, and when our food finally came out, it was cold. We ended up asking for it to-go because the service was so poor. I'll definitely come back for the food, but I'll make sure to request a different server.

I arrived here around 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon to get some lunch. I came in a group for my brother's bachelors trip. I ordered the twice fried chicken which Came out fast and was so delicious and crispy. It matched the amazing aroma! Someone ordered a bottle of saki for the tablet. To be honest, after the night we had prior, I wasn't feeling alcohol at all I did try it and it wasn't bad tho. One of my friends got stuff on shirt and the waiter just so happened to have tide pen, which was great. Overall, it was a good atmosphere and a good vibe. Waiter was attentive and service was quick. I would return! I'll add that it's close to a train stop, which makes it more convenient!

The Roasted Duck Baos need more meat. The Roti Canai was good. The Chuan Jerk Wings and Steak and Kimchi Fried Rice were just TOO SALTY. Too bad we couldn't get the Basil Fried Rice because they didn't have basil. The Curry Laksa Ramen was too light. It needs that rich flavor and it's lacking. Not even one thing gave me a wow or I want to come back feeling. Disappointed. Nothing special about the food. Our server was nice and attentive to our waters. My favorite thing about this place was the ambiance. Love just looking around and seeing all the details in this place. It was cool.

Just hit up this Asian fusion spot, and let me tell you--BABEEEEE, it's TOP TIER! The food was great, but the dessert? Absolutely next-level. I loved every single bite! From presentation to flavor, it was perfection. I've been to a lot of Asian fusion restaurants, but this one stands out in every way. If you're a dessert lover like me, you HAVE to check it out. #SweetToothSatisfied #AsianFusionFlavors #DessertGoals #thedaikanexperience.com

The outdoor patio is a nice choice only if the weather is pleasant. I found the decorations charming, which appealed to my group of four. The appetizers we ordered were decent, the wonton soup was perfectly cooked, but the chicken bao didn't impress me. The beef haw fun had a nice flavor, though the noodles were slightly overdone. The drinks were enjoyable as well.

The ambiance is nice with the option of indoor/outdoor dining. It was nice out and so we opted to dine outside. Note: this place is CARD ONLY! I came with cash and no card and found out real quick. This was a first for me considering the uptick with fraud, I often prefer to pay with cash when I can. The food was good tho. I ordered some wontons and chicken lo mein. Both were really good and super flavorful. It was filling and I ended up taking the rest to-go. Paid about $25 total. My coworkers cup was dirty with lipstick from a previous diner. Staff was nice.

Our server Christina was amazing! We came in to eat a quick birthday dinner and she made me feel so special and cared for. She also gave amazing recommendations as everything was so delicious. Whenever I come back to the area I'll definitely be returning. Highly recommend 10/10!!

Went on Sunday (05/18/25) for lunch around 1:30 and though there were many empty tables they made us wait 10-15 mins. I came here mainly for Laksa and it was alright and not what like I tasted in Singapore. Overall, food was good, service was good but little slow (though it wasn't busy and half empty) and waiter was attentive.

The portions were all pretty small, but lots of good dishes! Steak and Kimchi Fried Rice (5/5): An oily, smoky fried rice that didn't really taste like what was advertised, but was still delicious. The kimchi was so mild you could barely taste it and the gochujang wasn't noticeable either. The steak reminded me of Mongolian beef. Roti Canai (4/5): Flaky, soft, and chewy roti with a very tasty curry sauce. Had a nice kick to it! Two pieces of roti were not nearly enough though... Beef Haw Fun (4/5): Fairly simple, soy-heavy flavor, but I still really enjoyed it. The noodles had a great, chewy texture which I liked. The beef seemed to be the same "steak" in the Steak and Kimchi Fried Rice. Roast Duck Baos (4/5): Pretty good Baos, but the bun wasn't anything special. The duck was good with the hoisin coming through nicely. Lu Rou Fan (4/5): Not a lot of meat, but that was ok with me because I enjoyed the jasmine rice and pickled mustard greens the most anyway. The rice was very aromatic and paired perfectly with the soy sauce and mustard greens. Pad Thai (4/5): Pretty good pad Thai, but a little too tangy for me. Spiced Lamb Street Skewers (3/5): A little burnt and dry. I didn't prefer the ground texture of the lamb either. Flavors were good though. Soup Dumplings (3/5): Pretty decent, but could've had a little more soup in it. I also didn't mind personally mind it, but these were strangely creamy. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

Food did not taste good, tasted mass-produced low low-quality, Not authentic at all. Love the idea of the restaurant but not the quality. Over all the service was 100%

Another great experience at Hawkers. Their food is amazing. Today we only had appetizers because we were in the area for shopping the outdoor vendors. We sat outside because I had my dog with us. While it was hot we sat under a fan so we were fine. If you have never been I recommend Hawkers. I promise they will not disappoint!

Husband and I came last night and ordered the chili wontons, the twice fried Korean wings and the duck egg noodles. the wings and noodles were great, I personally didn't love the wontons - I have had better at other restaurants. These weren't bad but weren't super flavorful in my opinion. The drinks were good. We had a tigers tail and hibiscus fizz. I debated included this but as soon as our food came out, we had a bunch of fruit flies around us that we had to keep waving away. I will say, I have a food allergy to peanuts and many of the dishes on this menu included peanuts. I shared with the server that I had a food allergy and I felt very confident that I was safe. He told me which dishes I could order without the peanuts. If our food was brought by someone other than our server, they all made a verbal note that there were no nuts included in the dish. This made me feel very comfortable and is not a standard practice so I appreciate this! In my opinion, it was quite expensive but small plate style restaurants usually are.

Went for a girls night. Ordered mostly apps to share. Food was yum, especially liked the poutine and roti! Trendy restaurant. Good service, there when you need it. Would return!

Wife and I stopped by a while back and forgot to post the review this spot. It's a really hip place with immersive decorations, pretty cool and clean. We sat at the bar and had prompt and friendly service for food and drinks.good vibes here. Everything we ate was delicious and there wasn't anything on the menu I wouldn't try. Will be back to delve more into that menu!

I feel like Hawkers has been popping up quite a bit in various states I've traveled to over the last several years, and it's always a nice surprise because I know I'll be able to find something tasty on the menu. This time around, I was in Charlotte and having a hard time deciding what to eat until I came across Hawkers. My go to's are the twice fried Korean wings, roti canai, and chili crisp wontons. I tried some items I haven't before on this trip, the summer rolls and the Lu Rou Fan (braised pork belly, pickled mustard greens, and a soft-boiled egg, over rice). The summer roll was fresh for sure, but they definitely skimp on the shrimp. I really enjoyed the rice dish, it was savory, sweet, and sour. There was a little too much sauce over the rice, I'd get that on the side next time, but overall a very comforting dish! I ordered delivery and the quality was pretty good on arrival.

Tried Hawkers for the first time this past weekend for lunch! The food was very tasty and actually pretty authentic. I had the dan dan noodles which was good! My friends had steamed and seared dumplings, edamame, and lo mein and no complaints! The dumplings had a pretty good portion of meat in them too. I do wish the portions for noodle dishes were just a little larger though (or priced lower). Service was pretty slow unfortunately (my friend said it was the same the last time she was here too) and I thought it was odd that they brought food out at vastly different times. It was about 15 minutes between when the first and last persons at our table got the dishes. Atmosphere was cool! Located in Southend with a nice patio seating area and the music choice was nostalgic for us millennials lol

Came here for a casual work dinner on a Tuesday night. 9 of us were sat quickly and the service was right on time. They bring your food out as it's cooked to ensure everyone's meal is always hot and fresh. Prices are very reasonable for the area and the quality of the food is very good. Noodles were cooked to perfection and the chicken was an added bonus! Will definitely be returning on my next trip to South End! Entree: Yaki Udon

On a Friday or Saturday night, it takes forever to get seated here Lively ambiance though and the music is poppin! Good drinks! Food is sub par though...wouldn't recommend if you're a vegetarian

Came here for Bao but the Korean wings blew me away! Food (5/5): We tried the Roti Canai and it's one of the best I've had. Crispy flaky flatbread with a yummy yellow curry/chicken broth sauce to dip! The BBQ Bao buns were also amazing! The bun was a bit dry but the pork inside way tasty. The star of the show was the amazing Korean twice fried chicken wings! I've never had such crispy goodness with a lovely not spicy (but flavorful) sauce. They sprinkled peanuts on the top. Amazing! Service (5/5): Jay was an amazing server! Ambience (5/5): Loved the atmosphere - the fun kitschy cats and Asian neon made this a fun place to dine!

Update: I went back to Hawkers this past weekend. I had the Wings with Green Onions and Ginger and the Five-Spice Green Beans and the Basil Fried Rice. The food is consistently good. The service is excellent. The waiters are friendly and engaging. The ambiance is trendy and inviting. There's lots of outside dining. If you haven't dined at Hawkers, you must go!

The food was delicious! Highly recommend the dumplings and the bulgogi beef. The pad tai is amazing but it is spicy, if you are not into that avoid it.

Ate a to-go order of food on the patio to skip the long wait for a table on a Sunday afternoon. It was fresh & convenient for a quick bite. I got the BBQ bao buns as suggested by the hostess & the chicken egg rolls. They were tasty but the bao bun filling was a bit dry. The girls working the front & the manager were amazing & managed a busy Sunday effortlessly.

High quality food, great ambiance to bring a date or a group of friends and share dishes with. Everything I tried was a 10/10, me and my brother couldn't stop raving about everything they brought out to us from the ribs to the wings to the kimchi and their roti was AMAZING, we ended up getting 3 orders of it. Service was great as well, their staff was super friendly and sweet Def recommend, will be back

Food was SO flavorful. The udon noodles were very filling and I would 100% get the same order again. I did think it was odd that when everyone orders you get your food at different times based on when it's ready. That caused some people to be done eating while others didn't get food yet so I wish they would change that. However I get why they did it that way to be "freshest". The duck appetizer was good but very minimal amount of meat on it for the price. I will probably skip that next time solely due to size. They have a large indoor and outdoor seating area. The outdoor area has very out dated chairs but it was nice having ample seating. Would definitely go back for those udon noodles!

First timer and it will NOT be the last time. The inside was very nice, great seating and music. We had an amazing bartender named Ian who took care of us! Every plate we ordered was a 10 outta 10. This place is a must try!

Love Hawker's menu, but warning it is mostly small plates with larger noodle and rice dishes on the back menu. We enjoyed everything except for the chili crisp dumplings... when we bit into them the filling wasn't cooked which we were pretty sure wasn't how they were supposed to come. Nice outdoor seating, good drink menu, and a perfect location to take out of town guests.

Finally was able to make it to Hawkers after having it on my charlotte must try for a few years . Was able to get a seat at the bar . I started with pork belly bao buns and and roti canai. The pork belly had a bit too much fat but it was still good. Now the roti with that curry..... man !! I asked the woman next to me if it was good and she assured me she eats it often and she was right. The curry was amazing, just give me a pot of the curry. The tori was so flaky and crispy . Drink wise there's a lot to choose from , Im more of a sweets girl. First I had the Tigers Tail. It was super good sweet and delicious . Then I ordered the Bull in a China Shop. Delicious . Not as sweet and more floral which I loved . I ordered a singapore mei fun to go and it's not that great . Not flavorful enough for me , super bland . Can't wait to come back to try more menu items .

This place is fire! Went with a group of friends. They serve small plates like tapas, so we ordered a bunch of stuff for the table and shared. The food was so good, I especially loved the beef bulgogi, it was so tasty. I also really enjoyed the steak and kimchi fried rice. Our wait was almost an hour long which kind of sucked but we got two bottles of sake at the bar and sat outside on their patio and drank them till we got called which made the time go by faster. I love the vibe of the place and the decorations everywhere. The food also came fast and our waiter was pleasant. I'd definitely come back! Such a fun place to come with a group of friends or a date night.

Hawkers is a great spot for Asian food in South End. It is located in a great spot with a large patio and the inside is colorful with fun decor. I have been or tried to go a few times with a super long wait, but they now have an online waitlist you can join which is great! The food is super good and there are so many options to choose from. I think the twice fried wings and the soup dumplings are super good! Always look forward to eating at Hawkers!

A Fantastic Night at Hawkers! I visited Hawkers Asian Street Food with a friend, and we were blown away by the experience. From the moment we walked in, the lively atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home. Drinks:David the bartender was knowledgeable and helped us choose drinks that paired well with our meal. He was amazing and made my new favorite drink ever (passionfruit lemon drop with tequila). He was beautifully spirited and extremely thoughtful and patient. Service:The service was excellent. The manager Kelsey was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. She checked in on us a few times to ensure we were enjoying our experience. This is the best restaurant experience you'll have in Charlotte

Ass service and I wouldn't feed this to a fish. Literally in the bathroom begging up to god to make this putrid sickness to go away. Please. For you own good and safety. Do not come here. I am very worried for my health along with my families who ate here as well. The food is so shit and I am so mad I spent a singular cent on food this atrocious.

God awful. Would give it negative stars if that were an option. Ass food. Ass service. Everyone at my table got their food before me and I had to wait 20 minutes before receiving my food. God help this sink ship of a restaurant. Horrible And disgusting.

My boyfriend and I were walking around South End today when we came across Hawkers. At first we were a little hesitant because we had never tried it before but a lady was walking in when I stopped to ask her what she recommended. She had nothing but good things to say and this was her favorite spot for Asian cuisine in Charlotte. We obviously had to try it after hearing her raving review We were one of the first tables at lunch and were seated almost immediately. I loved the urban decor on the inside as well as the fun mix of music they played. We started with the rotti which came with the owner's special yellow curry sauce. The sauce was flavorful and the rotti was perfectly toasted and light. With the weather being cold outside I knew i had to try their ramen so I ordered the Curry Laksa Soup and a Thai Iced Tea. The Thai Iced Tea was sweetened to perfection and really refreshing. The ramen was definitely one of the best bowls i've had in Charlotte and packed full of protein with a little bit of spice to make it extra delicious. Overall the food was amazing and for both of us to get two thai teas, an appetizer and two bowls of ramen for around $50, it was a fair priced lunch. I will most definitely be returning next time i'm in queen city!

I was sold on this site when my coworker shared one "Twice fried wing" with me...OMG, it was on! My sister and I visited Hawkers and we were not disappointed. It's a casual dining restaurant with plenty of seating. We lucked up with Shannon as our waitress. She was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. Will, (I assume was the manager),assured everything was ok. I ordered basil fried rice, sichuan wonton, and of course twice fried chicken wings. I was not disappointed. Every dish was flavorful and delicious. I made sure to post pics of my dishes and their menu. This is definitely a repeat dining spot. Enjoy!!!

I'm just so over sub par customer service . Seated on the patio the first of only 3 tables . The waitress is very stand offish first approach to the table can I get you anything other than water no hey hru any recs nothing . Takes our order we don't see her again until I have to get up to ask inside for napkins and silverware, mind you she walked by us several times to attend to a table of men ( hmm) . They got great service from what I could tell. When she finally asked us how we are and then would you like to get your check now ( food was done and we needed water the whole time )no "anything else or dessert " but a rush on the check being done .My biggest pet peeve is a checked out wait staff and rude who Ask nothing else of you but here is your check . I'm sorry I was trying to enjoy my meal maybe another drink or dessert. No thanks,if I return I'll make sure not to sit in her section again and my experience is usually great here .
