Im giving 3 stars just because I expected more for such a highly rated place plus all the reviews plus considering Ive had other dim sum style dishes that were way better though still fair.
The soup dumpling, they were tiny, though they had a good flavor, better than Charlottes, NC’s soup dumpling, but nothing compared to Journey to dumpling in California. Also the wait time for the soup dumpling took a lot way longer than any other places Ive had had soup dumplings before. Their pork belly bao is decent, but isnt as good as Ashevilles red ginger pork belly baos. I didnt get to try the other dishes since we were a bit rushing though I can always try in my city since they have a location here as well. The drinks, I got the tigers tail and it was really probably the best shine the restaurant offers. I can say the alc is not that strong, but I like it. The worse thing, the chili oil sucks. Other than that, its a decent place for TN Id say. I know this is a harsh review, but this is not me saying this place sucks, just a bit let down from such praises, when Ive had better. And yes, I would definitely still go if it was the only dim sum style option, though not my to go to, maybe once in awhile if I get tired of other places for awhile. Food didnt blow me away like mi kitchen or padthai cafe did. Those places exceeded my expectations and beyond.

Food and service were good. Entryway kind of smelled. Our sweet tea tasted spicy (peppery?) for some reason so we didn’t drink it. Our server was kind enough to take it off the bill. Chili crisp wontons were my favorite. Ending up getting some to go.

Another great date night at Hawkers! Food was phenomenal as always and the vibes of the restaurant are always a hit.
Destiny was our waitress and was on top of everything! There was a small delay in our food because of all the Uber Eats orders coming in (at no fault of the wait staff or kitchen, truly just a busy night) but she made sure we were taken care of, provided us a free appetizer while we waited and still ensured the entire experience was top notch!
Will most definitely be back!

We had the best time. We got to sit outside and the atmosphere was so pleasant. Destiny was a great waitress! She asked us questions to make sure we had a good experience. She was very attentive and helpful in choosing what to eat from the menu. The Korean twice fried wings and soup dumplings were soo delicious. I highly recommend those!

First time here and loved most of the food. The sticky ribs, duck bao buns, chicken egg rolls were delish 10/10. I would skip the green beans and lamb skewers if I come back. The Lamb skewers were the worst dish we had. Very overcooked and dry. Everything else besides the lamb and green beans I would get again. Very cool location, easy parking. Ash was a fab server!
