    The food was amazing!! Service was slow to start, we sat for quite sometime before we were offered anything. Once our waitress did begin our service she was very attentive.

    My wife and I were in town to see our son's performance at CCM, and we wanted a midday meal. For two days after our visit, we were still talking about how good it was! Our biggest regret was not finding Hawkers Alley 4 years ago, since our son is graduating in May. Highly recommend – you won't be disappointed! 😋

    Hawkers was great!! However, they do NOT take reservations. Luckily, the manager was able to accommodate my group and he was the BEST! But writing this so y'all know to not rely on OpenTable for this restaurant. They are first come first serve but it is worth it! Best fried rice I had ever tasted

    My husband and I visited Hawkers Alley on New Years Eve and we were very impressed. It's a cute, diner-like atmosphere with a nice ambiance in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. The food was all very reasonably priced and the portions were huge. They had a great selection of Asian street food and we sampled the shrimp appetizer and the ramen. Everything was delicious. An evening meal with appetizers, entrees, and a glass of wine all for around $50, you can't beat that.

    Excellent food - We will definitely go back. So many things on the menu I want to try. There were 6 of us and we all loved the food. Cauliflower bites, potato skewer thing with parmesan (forget what it is called on menu), fish sandwich, teriyaki tofu all excellent. We were there during Blink so it was a very hectic evening for all, but the staff handled it well.

    Went for taco week, which is strange from an Asian restaurant but they had three options and they were all delicious. It is a tiny little place but service was a little slow. Overall it was a good experience
