Now... if only I could remember where I am staying. LOL. Just kidding! I made it. I got so lit in Japanese whiskey flights that I ordered enough food for two people. The "Flight to Tokyo" lived up to its namesake tremendously. That dang whiskey is wicked man. Combined with the beers that go down like water and you may be like me.... Wasted Soup dumplings are so damn cool. It's also either an engineering marvel or some sort of biblical miracle. How is the soup born inside the little dumpling?? So many questions!! I had some here and they were sure tasty!! I also had some killer crispy fried pork belly and some kick ass twice fried Korean wings!! Pork belly had tremendous umami flavors and was sticky sweet and yummy all at once! Loved it! But then came the Star.... I love chicken wings as much as I love life! That my friend, is a whole fucking lot!! I am more full of myself than you could possibly imagine. I loved these particular chicken wings a little more than life. I walked through downtown Nashville alone, on a random weeknight, just to eat these wings because I saw them on Yelp. I had already eaten dinner at Eddie V's earlier in the evening, but these wings called me from more than a mile away... Come eat me, Adam.... Is all I could hear after I saw others pictures of the wings.... Shhhh. Wings. I can't. But you must, said the wings.... I can't, I have no transportation.... You have two feet still, the wings said... Guess who won that argument? '26 - 23

Hawkers was such a great experience from start to finish! I came in on a Wednesday evening around…read more7:30 p.m., and even though the restaurant was busy, my party was seated right away. The ambience is bright and energetic, with fun neon signs and decor. The space feels open and spacious with plenty of seating. We started our night with the Pork Belly Bao Buns, but since they were out of pork belly, we tried the Chinese BBQ Pork instead. I wasn't upset because they were phenomenal. The Soup Dumplings were just as amazing, but the Roti Canai (Malaysian flatbreads with curry sauce) stole the show. The curry was rich with the perfect amount of spice. You're missing out if you skip the appetizers here. For my entrée, I ordered the Hong Kong Wonton Noodle Soup, and all I can say is wow. The broth and tender wontons were the perfect combination. My boyfriend loved his Pad Thai as well, and the only downside was the portion size for the price. I want to give a huge shoutout to our server, Jaylen, for making the experience top-notch. He was incredibly attentive, patient, and offered great recommendations through the night. Hawkers is on my list for date nights, ladies' nights, or a casual evening out (especially for drinks and appetizers!)

There were so many things we tried: spicy tuna crispy rice, hamachi crudo, salmon crudo, korean hot wings, wagyu teppanyaki, burnt end lettuce wraps, grilled ginger chicken, broccolini, and crab fried rice. Honestly I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favs were the spicy tuna crispy rice, korean hot wings, and grilled ginger chicken.

I could see myself revisiting after a time but I will wait a bit before I do so. TLDR: Try for yourself, i didn't hate it but won't be rushing back anytime soon. Great staff, friendly and quick.

I have waited over a year to write a review for South-Ahan. Food was phenomenal when they did a…read moresoft opening in 2023. The taste, the vibes, and the Jeow Bong they put aside with wings and sticky rice was the only menu that made me come back every week in 2023. It reminded of home and it tasted authentic to me. Then, they were out of Jeow Bong at some point. I went and asked every week over couple months. They said they were busy and shorted staff. They didn't have time to make more. I stopped going there. My husband still ordered carry out here and there for himself in this past year. I went back to dine in couple days ago. They changed the menu and Jeow Bong is no longer a part of wings menu, same as sticky rice. It is a completely different menu called "Sticky wings" served with white rice. Does it taste good? Yes! But it is very Americanized Asian food. I totally understand that the restaurant has to survive and adapt to the area. They can't stay authentic or the community would be like "What kind of food is that? It doesn't taste like other American-Asian restaurants that I have had before." I am sad but completely understand. South-Ahan is still the best asian restaurant in Columbia though. The tables are clean and the service is still great. I am happy that people in Columbia love South-Ahan. They were very busy when I was in the restaurant. Ps. The bright side, they have Jeow Bong in a jar for sale now! Whoop whoop! It tastes exactly the same as last year and it is still the best Jeow Bong version that I like the most. If you can't eat spicy food, please don't even try it. Your mouth will feel like it is on fire and it burns for minutes! That burn is lingering. I have warned you!

The answer is...the answer. Eric R. randomly selected Answer on a list of restaurants we scrolled…read morethrough to make a reservation for on our first night in Nashville this week. It is tucked in a neighborhood in the West End, and most people were surprised we found it or had heard of it as non-locals. It is a very popular spot. We arrived 20 minutes early and snagged the last parking spot in the lot behind the restaurant. Eric R. wanted to sit outside, so we were directed to wait at the bar until a table opened up. I got the cucumber sage yuzu spritz mocktail, and Eric R. got a local amber beer. Our table was ready within 10 or 15 minutes, so we migrated to it for dinner. Our server was helpful in providing recommendations. We started with three shareables: the mussels in lemongrass serrano beer broth and grilled bread, tempura long-stemmed artichokes on Calabrian chile mascarpone, and the lamb lollipops with pearled cous cous. I tasted the lamb, and it was heavenly, like melt-in-your-mouth tender but with a lot of caramelization. That was really Eric R.'s choice so I let him eat the majority of it. I really enjoyed the mussels and the artichokes! Everything was hot and delicious. I was sipping broth with a mussel shell when the bread ran out, and the host came out with more bread for us! It was so good. We asked to see a dessert menu. Eric R. had a tough choice between carrot cake and blondie with caramel ice cream, but was steered toward the blondie and did not regret it. I asked what the house made ice cream was for the day, and it was coconut matcha with a white chocolate shell topping. That sounded so perfect, and it was AMAZING. The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was lovely, the service was fantastic, and the food was delicious! That is the answer!

The hostess greeted us with "if you don't have a reservation, you can have a table for 45 minutes." No where did I see that reservations are required. Luckily 3 spots opened at the bar so we sat there because we were told "you can sit there with no time limit." The bartender serving us made no effort to look anything but annoyed with our presence. We had never been there and had questions but she would just point at the menu. I ordered a Diet Coke, which came in a can, one person with me ordered an old fashioned which was more glass than drink and the other people picked a beer from the list the bartender silently pointed at. This would have been a cool place if at least 1 person working here didn't look like they hated being there. Because of how we had been treated from the start we only ordered 2 appetizers, the dip and the flatbread. The dip was fine but the flatbread was like cat food on burnt toast. Oh and don't bother ordering a tea, I saw them serving bottles of gold peak tea, can't even brew tea. I do not recommend this spot unless you are okay with feeling like a burden and eating subpar food.

I very much liked it. We ordered the fried pork wontons to share, but they were disgusting. Only the bottom was browned, the other two sides looked and had the consistency of steamed. The worst part was the meat inside tasted just like cheap breakfast sausage with a small amount of green onion. They were so bad that I told our server, Kristin, how bad they taste, what they taste like, and told her I couldn't eat them. She didn't offer an apology, or offer to take them off the check. She just said, "They are pork." But the correct thing to do in that situation is to remove it from the check. It wasn't eaten, minus the one I bit into and thought the meat tasted funky, so hubs ate a bite and had to spit it out because the meat tasted like it was old breakfast sausage. Kristin was very flippant, and didn't care a bit. We won't be back.
