Hawkers Asian Street Food

"food is good but can be over priced. the atmosphere makes up for it tho. happy hour appetizers are great for the price. My fav is the beef haw fan, the texture is not traditional but more of a chewey noodle. laksa noodle was great too. wings were amazing, we got the spicy honey wings but it wasnt spicy (its still good, it comes plain with a dipping sauce). my family is malaysian and cantonese so i can say the food here is pretty authentic. you can definitely taste the wok hay even if the people who cooked it is not asian. The cake is from wegmans, not from hawkers."

"Loved the atmosphere! Most of the food was amazing, but the Korean fried chicken was extremely salty. The soup dumplings also tasted off, maybe too much sesame oil? There also wasnt much soup in them. The Chinese bbq buns and Seoul hot chicken buns were to die for. We also got the curry puffs and they did not disappoint. The sticky ribs were my favorite. Excellent service. Very attentive. The food got to our table super fast. Will go again."

"Authentic Asian wow-factor in a small chain! We love this restaurant, and it is becoming a favorite when we go to Chapel Hill to see our daughter. First, we are very familiar with Asian food and Asian street food, and so we knew what to expect and saw a lot of familiar favorites on the menu. That said, they do a great job with their familiar favorites. I had the duck fried rice, and I was just thrilled. Not only was this spiced perfectly, but the bits of duck in the dish were just so delicious and perfectly cooked, not dry at all. We also love grilled shishito peppers. These were good. We usually like them a bit crispier, but the flavors and dipping sauce were good. On another trip, we had the Singapore Mei, fun. In some places (that are a little bit less expensive) the Singapore mei fun noodles clump together a little bit with some spice, creating a bit of a spice overload, and this was not so at this restaurant. The noodles were slick and not clumpy and spiced correctly throughout. Every time I have Singapore Mei fun, I like to wash it down with a Vietnamese coffee. I expect this coffee to be strong and creamy. This one was excellent, a total buzz bomb! My husband always gets the pad Thai, because he’s boring ;) and he said this one was good and although It wasn’t the best he ever had, it was certainly a solid offering. No complaints. Decor is fun and funky, and at the same time it feels warm and welcoming, which is hard to pull off, Especially with high ceilings! The posters and metal shelves/racks near the booths give the space a bit of a sci-fi blade runner feeling. Which is a great thing actually. Because again, it’s fun, while the booths provide some coziness, and the color palette provides coziness as well. Every time we’ve come in, it could’ve been a little warmer, so they may want to turn up the heat a little bit. Overall, 4.8 stars, but I’m rounding up to a five, because the food was excellent, but there was a mishap with the Thai iced tea. It just…wasn’t…Thai iced tea. It tasted very unusual, and we have had Thai iced tea all over the world, and we had Thai au pairs caring for our children when I was in grad school, and we make Thai iced tea at home, so we really know what it is supposed to taste like. The server went back to the kitchen and took a sample of the Thai iced tea that she had poured us. She agreed that something was wrong, they perhaps forgot to sweeten it or something. Anyway, she comped it for us, so that’s why I’m not counting off for the Thai iced tea and giving a five star review. Excited to come back and try other offerings every time we are in Chapel Hill."

"We got delivery and food was awesome. Do not forget to order the doughnuts...airy, chewy, and yummy. They come with a caramel dipping sauce. I would go back just for these. We ordered several small plates and tasted a little bit of everything. Bao buns were so pillowy soft and the charred sweet pork complimented these so well. Wontons and eggrolls were crispy and the filling had a lot of flavor."

"Loved this place! Outdoor seating is super cute and has heaters. The food was amazing. And the service was friendly too! I'll definitely be back."
