We got the chicken soup dumplings, potstickers, chili dumplings, and some of the noodles. The chili dumplings were our favorite along with the noodles. Everything here has such good flavor! I want to try the soup dumplings that includes all the different meats. We also got some green tea and boba tea, which were both yummy as well. I believe I got the mango one that I really liked. The vibe is cool in here and the service is good. Definitely add this to your list to try if you haven't!

QR code menus provide pics of the food along with prices. You order on a sheet in what I would describe as sushi style. Pretty simple concept. We started with edamame which came out fast. Chicken karaage followed close behind and I felt it was well executed. We asked for some sweet and sour sauce as none was served with the chicken. I found that kind of odd as I've had it served with a ponzu or spicy mayo other times at other establishments. The Mongolian beef was very good but my only complaint was the portion of beef in the dish. It's been like 100° lately so we weren't in the mood for soup dumplings. We'll have to come back when the weather is a little cooler. Overall a good experience.

When visiting Jacksonville for work, I was on the lookout for great restaurants around St Johns…read moreTown Center as my hotel and the work office was in the vicinity. Reservations can be made via OpenTable, and I saw this suggested on Yelp so I decided to try one evening. Upon arriving, I marveled at the beauty of the interior design of the bottom floor that also serves as a gallery. I ascended the staircase as the restaurant is on the third floor. I dined alone as this trip I didn't have a coworker with me, but I still was seated in a cozy corner to take it all in. Isaac, my waiter, was incredibly friendly, and ensured I had everything I needed. What I Ordered: - Caesar Salad: This salad is as pretty good, but at a price point of $19, I would likely skip if dining here again. Though, it did have the perfect hint of lemon for acidity and the croutons tasted house-made. Perhaps if you added a protein, this could become your main dish and elevate it. - Lobster Roll: $36 for a lobster roll?! I was intrigued as this was noted as a signature dish and a standout for what this location is known for... and boy was I IMPRESSED! The roll was perfectly toasted, and the lobster to roll ratio was absolute perfection. The flavor of the lobster was juicy and tasted fresh. This roll was so good that even the neighboring table as they left asked how I enjoyed it. They were recognized by staff, so I believe they are regulars. We all discussed how delicious it was and I shared my thoughts on the execution of lobster to bread ratio. I dined here a couple weeks ago, and I'm still thinking about where in Arizona I'll ever find a roll as decadent. - Cappuccino: a mark of a truly well-crafted cappuccino is the sugar test. Will the foam withstand the weight of sugar or will it sink to the bottom (poorly frothed)? I had ordered and didn't realize they would put a design on top! Visually stunning, and happy to report they make a beautiful cappuccino with delightful foam. Added pictures to showcase the design they added, and the sugar test. The rooftop has stunning views, and the food is a work of art as well. Though I had a lighter dinner with a salad + lobster roll, I was impressed with the meal and would return to try more of the menu if I visit for business or personal reasons in the future. This area has lots of restaurants, but this one definitely leaves an impression and draws this foodie back in to return. Check it out if you are in the area!

This is a great option for a (spendy) girls' night out…read more I came here with a bunch of work colleagues for dinner. The setting is lovely, especially if you are here during the sunset. Service was attentive and gracious. I started with a rose spritz, the avocado carpaccio, and the half roast chicken. The spritz was a delight. Not too sweet, very refreshing. The carpaccio was amazing with the smoked salt, and the briny caviar. My friend ordered the chips and dip, and heaven on earth is combining the two appetizers (a chip topped with avocado and then a dollop of creme fraiche/caviar). The chicken was okay. I should have gone with something else, but I panic-ordered. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't remarkable. I should have gone with a fancy salad or the lobster roll. My second drink, a glass of rose, was okay but wasn't served ice cold, a disappointment. I shared a chocolate chip cookie at the end of the meal, and it was absolutely delicious. I'd happily return with that crew of ladies, and I'd happily recommend this place for a date night.

The vibrant, traditional Chinese murals painted across both the exterior and interior immediately caught my eye. I found them thoroughly captivating and beautifully artistic. Though the venue itself is intimate, the layout and decor are executed with exceptional taste and style. I was seated at a lovely table beside the glass window overlooking the street, which offered the most wonderful view for a relaxing afternoon. The staff greeted me with genuine, warm smiles and provided exceptionally friendly service throughout. To begin, I ordered the Thai Basil Paloma, which proved to be an absolute perfection of a beverage for a Sunday. For my main course, I was intrigued by their new duck option on the menu and it was an absolute triumph! Rich, exquisitely prepared, and utterly delicious. Also, thank you to Thomas for his service It made for a flawless Sunday afternoon from start to finish. Full marks to Hawkers for an outstanding culinary experience. I shall most certainly be returning!

The restaurant if low lit and moody. We got seated at a big table and got drinks - I got a cosmopolitan, which was strong and yummy. You get bread to start and it comes with 4 different spreads - my favorite was the olives! For the main course, I got the local flounder. I wanted to try the steak because I know that's what's super yummy here, but I'm observing no meat on Fridays right now. The fish was good and it came with orzo. I really want to try the steak next time. Our waitress was super attentive and on top of things. She put the cake we brought my friend in the fridge for us and had it cut. It was also nice that the manager I believe came around to ask how everything was. Great service, I'll be back for the steak!

We went this past Friday and while they had the same great food (with one exception), same decor and vibe, it seemed as if the typically impeccable service was staring to slip. The staff was in a great mood, seemed to be having a party and maybe that was some of the issue. Drinks not filled, food brought out a different points when we asked for it to be brought together etc. One of the guests requested their sauce on the side and it came right on top of her cold steak. We had to constantly grab anyone who worked there to get help and get served or drink refills. Very atypical of Prospect. I'm reviewing again to be constructive. I still love Prospect and I need them to be the excellent experience they have always been. I'm truly hoping this was a one off afternoon.
