Delicious small plate style Asian street food. One of our favorite spots. Also located right next to Jeni’s Ice Creams (which is a must). Pro tip **Hawkers is loud! Do not go if you’re looking for a quiet/intimate meal**

Traveler advice
Getting around
Light rail
The light rail is very convenient for traveling throughout uptown and surrounding neighborhoods (specifically NoDa & South End)
Customs and culture
It’s called Uptown, not downtown!
Sound like a local and make sure you say Uptown instead of downtown :)
