    We stopped at Hawkers on our party bike site seeing tour. We only had a few minutes and the staff…read morewas incredibly accommodating. The service was super friendly and fast. They also gave us fans because we were so sweaty. I had a match lychee lemonade. We also shared shrimp summer rolls and chicken egg rolls. The lemonade was refreshing and delicious, but a bit too sweet for me. The egg rolls were piping hot and so delicious. I could eat a plate of those. Definitely looking forward to another visit.

    I stopped by Hawkers Asian Street Food on a Sunday evening after watching a World Cup game and the…read morerestaurant was surprisingly empty at 7:00 p.m. My party of four was able to get seated immediately. Between the four of us we ordered the roti canai -- with an extra piece of roti, since the base only comes with two, roti murtabak, two orders of the pork belly baos, chili crisp cucumbers, nasi lemak, beef haw fun, and bò tái chanh -- Vietnamese rare beef salad. Overall, the food was outstanding. I feel like the restaurant took all the greatest hits from every Asian culture and put them together on the menu. My favorite dish of the night was a toss up between the rare beef salad, the roti, and the pork belly baos. I loved how crispy and flaky the roti was and the curry dipping sauce that it was paired with was super aromatic, nutty, and rich. The pork belly in the baos was incredibly tender, well-marinated, and had a nice balance between lean and fatty parts. If you enjoy sour dishes, you will love the rare beef salad: there is enough lime in the dish to make you pucker. Every bite is a concentrated punch of flavors, and there is a nice variety of texture between the chopped peanuts, thinly sliced onions, rare beef, and crispy rice cracker. If you're in this part of town looking for a dinner spot, I would not hesitate to recommend Hawkers Asian Street Food. In addition to the solid food menu, the service and drinks were equally spectacular.

The ambiance was absolutely my vibe, stylish, inviting, and the perfect setting for a night out. The drinks were well-made and enjoyable, adding to the overall experience. A good Tuesday night outing. I attended an event there, and although the venue appeared to be a bit understaffed, our waitress, Gabby, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. She checked on us regularly, kept us updated, and brought our drinks out as quickly as they were prepared. Her enthusiasm, welcoming personality, and positive energy truly stood out; her energy was a 10/10. Gabby's outstanding service made a great experience even better. I will definitely be back!

We walk in cool vibes, hostess Corrie greeted and walked us to the table we were warmly greeted by Lawren and she stated that we had another server but she would be helping us until she returned from break which I thought was interesting since it was only 6 and they opened at 5? Either way we have a short timeline since we have to be at dinner by 7:15p everything goes well until the server shows up. I wish Lawren had time to transition because we would've tipped her in cash before she left bc this Ani character was inattentive and gave poor I wouldn't call it service because one would have to do something. She came over briefly to offer an excuse to why she wasn't there, I had to flag down another waitress to get her attention to come back to the table instead she just brought the check and dropped it on the other side of the table before leaving again. My favorite part was around the 20% tip which was audacious and tacky since she did enough to make me question even providing any tip at all. My partner summoned the manager Colby or Cody not sure which but his non-reaction was indicative of this being a regular occurrence. The cocktails weren't good enough to return and even if they were, or the parking confusion was resolved, the service was a big enough deterrent for me to not think twice about considering it. 5 for Lawren but everything else sums up to a 2 experience for me. Do with that what you will.

We arrived early and grabbed pre-dinner cocktails on the patio, which honestly set the tone for the evening. The fire pit tables + evening atmosphere were perfect. We kept it classic with Old Fashioneds and martinis, and both were very well executed. Simple, balanced, and clearly made by someone who knows what they're doing. There was also a blueberry graham cracker cocktail (can't remember the name, unfortunately) that was surprisingly delicious and easily could've been dessert in a glass. The tasting itself was an 8-course menu and absolutely incredible. Since this was a one-night pop-up, I won't go into detail on the food, but every course was thoughtful, creative, and genuinely delicious. One of those meals where you're excited for the next plate the second the last one's cleared. Service really stood out. The team was attentive without hovering, cleaned up seamlessly between courses, and made sure our drinks were never empty. They also offered solid wine pairings that complemented the menu really well and elevated the experience overall. One extra thing that really sealed it for me: after dinner, the second chef Taylor and the owner/manager Tanner came over and hung out with us for a bit. As someone who's a bit of a foodie nerd, I genuinely appreciate when chefs and operators take the time to talk food, concepts, and the thought behind the menu. It made the experience feel personal and intentional, not just transactional. If this pop-up is any indication of what Rye is capable of, it's definitely a place worth returning to. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and a team that clearly cares about the experience. Would absolutely come back.

Garlic Rice Bowl ($13) + Pork Chashu ($2.60): The eggs did not look anything like the picture and there was not a lot of them in general. The flavors were on point though, which I think was thanks to the pork chashu. The cubed chashu looked a bit odd and made me a little wary but the flavors still worked. We also ordered extra fresh garlic which was free and adding it to the fried rice made it more fragrant and flavorful. This was still the best item of the meal. Creamy Tonkatsu Ramen ($24.44): Made with pork and soy broth so it was not as fatty or umami as a regular tonkatsu. It tasted like your average ramen and was not worth the price. We have had Jinya in LA and Vegas and know it can be better. Even though it did not taste particularly fatty, my body felt it and I broke out a bit later that day. Aburi Oshi Sushi Salmon ($11.44): Came with 3 pieces that were just alright. Salmon Poke Tacos ($10.40): Came with 2 small tacos. They packed the poke separately to keep the taco shell crispy, but you do have to assemble everything yourself. The poke itself was not super fresh and this was our least favorite item of the meal.

First I went for breakfast and was immediately greeted by Marianna. Picked a table right by the window and the restaurant had enough room for a large group and lounge seating too. I ordered the Texas Tacos and my friend got the Bacon biscuit sliders. Both were served within 10 minutes and were made with the customizations we specified. (I wanted egg whites only). Food was tasty and fresh. The ease of ordering, the fact that it wasn't crowded and the pleasant service had me return the next day for lunch. I ordered the Salmon Avocado Toast and tried their Acrylic and Canvas. The avocado was AMAAAAAAAAAAZING!!!! It was so filling, but I didn't feel heavy at all (I ordered fries too... don't judge me). When you stay at Canvas Hotel know that the dining options in the hotel will provide everything you need for sure!

This used to be the NYLO Hotel but it has gone through a much needed renovation and it looks great in there. We got there a little early so we checked out the new Rooftop Bar as it has probably the best view of Downtown Dallas in the city and their new drink menu is LIT AF. We pulled ourselves away from the rooftop bar just in time to make our reservation and I'm glad we did because the place filled up fast. We started out with a Hummus and Kale chips as my wife gets hummus anytime it is on the menu and she said it is one of the best she's had. We went there for the Tapas though and they didn't disappoint either. If you are an aficionado of Tapas, this is your kind of place. All in all, service was great, food was great, atmosphere was great.
