I think it could have used a little more sauce, but the pork was cooked perfectly and flavor was spot on. Hubby had the spicy tuna poke bowl. Perfectly ripened avocado, great attention to detail, it was passed around the table so we could all try it. We also had the 911 roll and the cherry blossom roll. Both were great but the 911 roll was a table favorite. The restaurant wasn't packed, so all our food came out quickly. The table was clean but the bench seats were a little hard. I love that each person gets their own pot for hot tea. It kept my tea hot throughout the meal. I would definitely recommend stopping by here.

Sadly I rarely take photos of takeout food (I need to do better about this!) We got dumplings, ramen, and pork Bibimbap. The owner was so friendly and shared they make homemade kimchi which was fabulous and may have been my favorite thing. The bibimbap was a close second though, it was so flavorful and delicious. I couldn't stop eating it! The dumplings were also fantastic. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the ramen, but I think it's just because they do so many other things better. The restaurant is continent and in a strip mall, with a good amount of tables. I'd really like to dine in next time so I can get the true, full experience. I can't wait to come back!

This sweet lady will make sure you have everything you need!!! If you are new to Korean cuisine, this would be a great place to dine, very helpful!!!

They were completely booked and offered to allow us dine at their waiting area space which offered comfy couches and table. We gratefully accepted the offer. To start I ordered the raspberry frozen margarita and my daughter ordered a mojito-mocktail. The establishment offers small bite/ tapas style dishes. We ordered way too many dishes; cucumber salad, poke bowl, stick ribs, dumplings, octopus, truffle mac n cheese, and tuna with crispy rice squares. All of the dishes had incredible flavor; my faves were the sticky ribs and poke bowl.

Long story short I don't think the food was for me. Is this place worth trying? Yes, form your own opinion. I didn't hate it but it didn't make me wanting to run back. 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.

Be sure to walk through the blue door, if you plan to dine in. When you walk in you'll find close-set tables, a dimly lit, hidden gem feel with hums of conversation, shared plates, and Soju flowing at the bar. Give the grape soju. So good! The portions are generous and can easily be shared. For apps we ordered the dumplings and banchan & kimchi. Both were great choices and light enough to not fill you up before getting the main courses. We really wanted to try the Hedo Bap(only available Mon-Thur) but they ran out prior to us ordering. I highly suggest getting there between 5-6 to ensure you get to try it. Kimchi Fried Rice w/ added seasoned beef 8/10 (a fried egg on top is always the cherry on top) Korean Fried Chicken with both sauces (the gochujang w/tofu ranch was superior) 10/10 Glass Noodle 7/10; texture was very slippery, but still very good packed with veggies and a great flavor palette.

Neither my husband nor I finished our dishes. I had the fried pork belly, which was fatty and overcooked, served with six small cups containing whole garlic, cucumber, and other items I couldn't identify or figure out how to eat. My husband's dish was fried chicken with sweet gravy over rice. We ate a bit just because we were hungry. The interior looked like wood was hastily put up to cover the walls and floor, and oddly, the single bathroom had two toilets. Plastic silverware was provided, and you order at the counter before they bring the food to your table. This place might be fine for takeout, but not ideal for dining in.

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

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!)
