Food taste absolutely delicious and the staff is friendly. Only complaint is the portions. A little on the pricey side, especially with how small the portions seem to be.

Hawker’s Kitchen is hands down one of the best Malaysian and Singaporean restaurants you can find in the country. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, setting the stage for an authentic Southeast Asian dining experience.

The food is outstanding — every dish is cooked with care and packed with rich, bold flavors that taste just like what you’d find at hawker stalls in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. The ingredients are fresh, portions are generous, and the balance of spices is perfect. Whether you’re craving savory noodles, fragrant rice dishes, or their incredible curry noodle soup (laksa), everything here is a hit.

The service is just as impressive as the food. The staff are friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they serve, which really elevates the whole experience. You can tell they take pride in sharing authentic Asian flavors with their customers.

If you’ve been searching for a place to satisfy your Asian food cravings, look no further. Hawker’s Kitchen won’t disappoint. I highly recommend this spot — once you try it, you’ll definitely come back for more!

We got a recommendation from my husband’s coworker to check this place out. This is definitely one of our new favorite places! It’s close by, staff is friendly, and the food is really really good. Great flavors and textures! This food is insanely good! Great prices too.

Never had food like this before. Will most definitely be coming back, it was all so delicious! Even the stuff we weren’t as big on was because the stuff that kicked it out of the park overshadowed it. All scrumptious.

My new favorite food spot in all of Ankeny … and way beyond. What a fantastic place! This is easily the most authentic Asian food I’ve had outside of Thailand. On a recommendation from the owner, Jennifer, I ordered the Laksa noodle dish, and it was unbelievably delicious! I could have finished every ounce of it at the restaurant, but I loved it so much I saved some just to have leftovers. The flavors were incredible. Definitely an A+. My girlfriend had a chicken teriyaki dish that was also amazingly flavorful. Jennifer also gave us a free egg tart to try for dessert, and that was a huge hit too. Soooo good. I took home a menu and already have my next five dishes picked out. Cannot wait to get back there! Support this local gem … you won’t be disappointed!

It was my wife’s and I first time and we both enjoyed the food and service. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are plenty. We both will be back to try more of their wide selection.

Very good food! Been here multiple times visiting Ankeny, the chicken teriyaki, beef bulgogi, chicken satay, and lemongrass chicken are all great. The mango sticky rice also makes for a great desert. They give you a few different things with the entree for lots of flavors and the proteins are well seasoned and sauced. I highly recommend!
