Hawking Bird offers a unique Asian fusion vibe with friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere. The Tanya Special, fried chicken salad, and KMG bowl with broth are highly recommended. The noodles in the garlic noodles are chewy and flavorful, and the chicken is perfectly juicy. The hoisin dip for the chicken is a standout, with a perfect balance of sweet and umami flavors. The tots are crispy, well-seasoned, and many customers praise them as some of their favorites. The chicken sandwich is also popular, known for being crispy and large. The menu features dishes with Lao ingredients and flavors, such as the fried chicken sandwich and chicken rice, with generous portion sizes that can often serve two meals. Staff members are very friendly, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant has a spacious seating area, including a big communal table for larger groups. Customers often notice the aromatic smell upon entering, making the experience even more inviting. Many reviews highlight the flavorful dishes that have become favorites for families, with fried chicken, garlic noodles, and tots being particularly praised. The twice curry-fried tofu is also enjoyed, complemented by cukes and leaves, while the Thai tea float is a tasty treat, despite some minor issues with the ice cream. Overall, Hawking Bird combines good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere in a welcoming setting.
