Reviews for Hawkers Asian Street Food in St. Petersburg, FL

Went in for lunch and the restaurant was basically empty. Our waitress was so bubbly and so fun, quite a positive energy that... really rubbed off on us throughout our time dining here. We ordered the appetizer dumplings and they weren't too spicy but hadjust the right amount of heat to them. The dumplings themselves were stuffed. For entrees we ordered the Dan Dan noodles and theudon noodles and both were equally delicious. The Dan Dan noodles have this unique, floral-like, botanical taste to them, alongwith the savory seasonings and spices that give the overall flavor profile a truly unique taste. I'm not sure if was lemongrassor something else but it did taste very herbal. The udon noodles were delicious and had this smoky taste to them that I didn'texpect. Good sized portions for the price, though I feel like the entrees could be slightly larger. We had a bit of a problemduring our meal (nothing too major, but alarming nonetheless) but our waitress was super quick to fix it and make up for theproblem! She gave us a free dessert (the donuts in a big - which were completely delicious, freshly made, fluffy, and the saucewas to die for) and that really showed how much this place cares for its customers and wants everyone to have a good experience!I'd definitely come back and try something new because the menu has so many options for so many different cuisines!

We had an amazing ?end of the vacation? lunch at this restaurant. We visited for dinner when first arriving in St Pete and had... to go again. We told Brittany our waitress and she came and asked for a review (the marketer in me LOVED it!) and brought us adessert on the house. If you love Southeast Asian food, you have to try this restaurant. Read more

Love this place. While we were waiting for a table one of the bar tenders told us that there were a few seats opening up and we... sat there. It seemed like she went out of her way to accommodate us. The whole experience was great and the food was soooo freshand tasty. The rice could of had some spice to it. But still very good. Highly recommend this spot. ???? Read more

We love Hawkers! It?s always such a great experience. This was our first time at the Hawker in St. Pete, & Crystal was great! I... highly recommend the Dumplings or the Wontons, but my husband?s favorite is the Pad Thai! They have great drinks too! Read more

We came here because of a recommendation. We were starving when we got there and a bit "hangry". The host said 20 to 30 minute... wait.The place had all kinds of open seating. It didn't dawn on me until later,that there were not a lot of servers at thattime. Smart move, leave us waiting FOR a table, instead of AT a table. Nothing worse than waiting for someone to wait on you.Ohand I later discovered that you can book ahead of time, which I do recommend. Anyway, about 28 minutes into the wait we wereabout to leave and we were seated.By then, it was getting very busy and definitely more servers.I learned it was graduationnight and a festival.Fritz , our waiter was nice and so helpful. We let him pick food for us. Everything came out well paced andwas delicious. I am so glad we stuck around. It was worth it. It has a great vibe, great food and great staff. We already haveplans to go back next week. As we were leaving I asked for the manager, I put my best unhappy customer face on as he came over,I then smiled and thanked him and the staff for being awesome. Don't forget to not only tip your server but thank all thepeople that make great service happen. Read more

Food was good, service was excellent. Had time to kill before our flight so we came here for lunch and it did not disappoint. ... Wife chose a good location to fill our bellies. Portions were just right and we were able to taste their offerings. Atmospherewas cool also. Read more

Great ambiance and service! Drinks are delicious! Food is cooked to order, so expect to stay a while and food to take longer... than what you may be used to. Flavors were a strong 7/10, just because I?ve more authentic flavors in other places. Overall anice place to check out in St. Pete! Read more
