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.

From last visit, I knew not to touch the luke warm salmon or junky stuffed oysters. Unfortunately it did not spare us from food poisoning.

I've never had a crepe with the ingredients used and I very much enjoyed it. It was like a clam chowder sauce meets shrimp and mushrooms in a crepe. Interesting and it worked. Mwah chef's kiss. The place is tucked away in a shopping plaza so isn't visibility from the street isn't great. But I certainly recommend for something new! I'll be going back. I love to support local places and especially ones with courage to try unique cuisine. My picture isn't the best because I ordered to-go and it smelled delicious so I dove right it.

I visited before a Rays game and was immediately impressed by both the service and the food. The staff was attentive without hovering, the pacing was excellent, and the entire experience felt polished and intentional. I ordered the Bibimbap with bulgogi steak, tofu, fried egg, kimchi, vegetables, gochujang, and crispy rice, along with two spring rolls. What stood out most was the balance. The dish delivered heat, sweetness, savory depth, texture, and freshness without relying on heavy sauces or excessive portions. Every ingredient maintained its own identity while contributing to the overall flavor of the dish. Too many restaurants create flavor by drowning food in sauce. Hawkers does it through seasoning, spices, and technique. There was no puddle of sauce at the bottom of the bowl, no overly sweet glaze, and no greasy heaviness. The rice absorbed flavor without becoming soggy, and the kimchi, vegetables, egg, tofu, and bulgogi worked together beautifully. The spring rolls were equally impressive. Light, crisp, delicate, and perfectly executed, with a thin wrapper and just the right amount of crunch. What impressed me most was that I left satisfied, not stuffed. The portions were thoughtful, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were layered rather than overwhelming. Since moving to Florida, this ranks as one of the best restaurant meals I have had. Highly recommended.

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.

I ordered the Thai Basil Chicken, Chicken and Broccoli, and an Alaskan Roll. The sushi was awesome -- fresh, flavorful, and not overly saucy (just how I like it!).

My only minor critique is that the portions were a bit on the smaller side. Overall, though, everything tasted great!

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.

First thing that caught my eye was the display of Peking Ducks by the kitchen. The hostess's were very friendly and attentive. We were quickly shown to our table. We ordered a Kirin beer and a coke. A tempura shrimp appetizer was so crisp and delicious - similar to a BangBang Shrimp. We couldn't resist the duck. They brought it out to showcase it then went back to preparing it. The kitchen cuts it into sections assuring each piece has that incredible crispy skin on it. The duck comes with thin pancakes, 3 dipping sauces and pickled vegetables to create tasty little bites. Also included was delicious fried rice. We polished off 2/3 of the duck. I wish the duck had spent more time roasting to render more of the fat layer under the skin. In some places it was 3/8 of an inch thick. We enjoyed our ice cream cup dessert.
