Was here last night for their Fat Tuesday buffet!!! First time I have ever been there the food was delicious!!!!! I lived in Louisiana for a few years and who ever made these dishes did an awesome job. Owners and waitresses are so friendly. I’m definitely gonna b back in thinking for St Patrick day party.

Can't say enough good things about this place Stopped by on a Monday, received the best service I could expect from Karen(I did apologize on behalf of the internet for ruining her name). She was awesome, not like a stereotypical Karen. Then to my surprise the dinner special it was fresh chicken strips for a dollar a piece I have been to the taphouse before, the food is great, their burgers are phenomenal, and they have prime rib and several options of seafood. Not going to lie, what I like best, it is rare to find a place where you can smoke after you eat Highly recommend if you want good food, full bar, pool table and darts, and GREAT service

Stopped in for lunch, we were very glad we did, the wonton soup is great, you also get egg roll and a chicken wing with the dinner, the egg roll was good, love the sweet sauce for it, the chicken wing was hot and crispy, my wife got the crab rangoon which were light and crispy with great flavor, my dinner was the almond boneless chicken which tasted great, love the sauce that comes on it, my wife got the sweet and sour chicken, she also really liked her meal, overall this is a great place to eat, we enjoyed it and will be back.

I have even going to this place for 20 years this is the first time I have been disappointed I receive these happy family tons of beef but not one piece of shrimp. Maybe someone didn’t want to cook it. They have been a godsend during my battle with cancer. I will check my pickup more carefully

Hands down the best Chinese takeout restaurant in the area. The food is always fresh, HOT, and tasty. I’ve ordered takeout from here five times and each time it was consistent and when they say 15 minutes, it’s ready in 15 minutes. It would be awesome if they expanded one day and did a buffet!

Great food friendly workers... My daughter and I had a great meal there the other day. The owner took our order and She not only helped make the food but also served it answered the phone and waited on all the other customers that came in to pick up their orders. Her and her husband really do a great job and the food is always freshly made and the place looks spotless. I recommend you try it out next time you want Chinese food.

For over a year, we’ve been ordering the same sushi every month—avocado sushi. As vegans, we absolutely love it! The quality is always fresh, and the flavors are spot on. The staff is also amazing; the lady taking our orders knows exactly what we want before we even say it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious vegan sushi!”

Tried this place out for the first time today and it was delicious and the staff was so kind! The quality of the sushi is very good and you cant beat the prices. Definitely my new go to 😊

EDIT: the manager reached out and invited us back in to make up for the experience we had in my original review. This time was like night and day! Our server, Jessica, was fantastic and super attentive. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. Definitely try the beef bulgogi if you eat meat, it was so so good! We appreciated being invited back in and are looking forward to our next time in. 1 star experience. We unfortunately couldn’t even eat at Hawkers since a server never came over to our table. Staff just continually walked by or were talking near the kitchen. It was Thursday at around 3:20pm so not very busy. We sat for over 10 minutes with no one coming to get our order or bring us waters. Tables that came in after us at least got drinks. The host had no idea what was going on so we left, he didn’t even know they offered happy hour specials. So disappointing as we really enjoy the food. This is not the first time the service has been a miss.

Every time I come here it's a great time, with great service. I try something new every time and haven't had a bad experience yet. Wings are fabulous! The food is so good and I love the sort of tapas environment. great Japanese beer selection, sake was awesome (definitely recommend the Pearl!)

I have enjoyed lunch here a number of times. I find this is a location that I can even enjoy when dining alone! The large screen televisions play video of Asian street food being prepared. I also like to sit at the bar and watch the chefs create the variety of dishes. The menu includes popular dishes from China, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines…all delicious! I love the soup dumplings and all of the curries! The Thai tea is delicious!

Nice restaurant with decent food. However, I went with my friend who is vegetarian and she was pretty shocked to see lack of options for her. I hope to see vegetable broth here in the future! Other then that, pretty good.

I love that they moved to Grand Central. They have more space, inside and out, and food/drink options. One of our favorite spots to grab a quick and delicious meal, or stop by for a boba on the go. The staff are all friendly and attentive. Their lunch menu is a great deal and portioned just right to satisfy you. They have vegetarian selections, sushi, Thai, Laotian dishes. Parking is limited, street only. I highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t!

This was an excellent choice. I stumbled upon this place during a lunch break and was pleasantly surprised. The bar service was phenomenal—Kim was funny, attentive, and very helpful. The food arrived quickly, looked great, and was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was inviting, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I enjoyed the medium lunch special and a Bobba Thai Tea. My total bill was around $23, which is a great value. I'll definitely be back.

It’s been a while since I’ve stopped in for lunch on a whim, but was craving Thai and luckily the parking gods opened a spot for me after driving around for 10 mins. Central Avenue needs more parking but I digress. As soon as I walked in, I was quickly seated and brought water, clear broth soup w/ rice and fried garlic w/ scallions(I honestly could eat a large bowl of that) and a crisp spring roll w/ a sweet ish orange duck sauce before ordering. I enjoyed a chicken pad Thai(the best in the city!) w/ a side of jasmine rice for an extra fee. The lunch specials are large and filling, $12.95, worth it. Servers are friendly, food comes out quick and fresh.

9 Bangkok Thai and Sushi has one of only 3 “Destination” sushi rolls which I have not seen anywhere else. “The St. Pete Roll” is amazing. Don’t try to bite a piece in half. Put the whole piece in your mouth and let it wash over you. My pics can’t do it justice. I am posting pics of the menu because it’s not available online unless you open a delivery service app.

Everything was so incredibly delicious. I still can't get over how good that bang bang chicken dirty rice was. The service was amazing! I went on a Thursday night, and the guys working there were super friendly and helpful! The vibe was cozy and laid back. I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. If you're deciding on where to go eat , just go here. You won't regret it 😊👍🏻

We had such an amazing experience at Shiso Crispy. Not only was the food phenomenal, but the worker Mike that helped us was extremely kind and patient with us, answering all of our questions and giving us great recommendations. Our favorite thing was absolutely the lobster rangoons. They are a must get. We also got the bang bang chicken and ahi tuna dirty rices and both were incredible and the portions were so filling! You definitely get your bang for your buck here. The short rib bao buns were some of the best bao buns we’ve ever had as well. All in all this place is a must for anyone looking for great food with great staff and a vibey atmosphere and we will absolutely be returning again!

Food is amazing here. “Chicken and mushroom hot pot rice” is worth the wait. The flavor is tastefully balanced with ginger, scallions and right amount of sauce, I.e. not too salty. On the other hand, the “sautéed pork strips with spicy sauce” is spicy enough. A perfect dish to have with white rice. I also order 2 dim sum items and they just make them right. Very pleasant experience here.

We had an exceptional experience with this Chinese restaurant! The Chicken Fried Rice and Sesame Chicken were delicious, each dish bursting with flavor, clearly prepared and packaged with great care. We skipped the Fried Chicken and Egg Roll on our second order as we didn't enjoy them the first time—the chicken was burnt, and the egg roll was dry. Although the Sesame Chicken was excellent, it came without rice. Fortunately, we had ordered the Chicken Fried Rice separately. We can't wait to visit in person and enjoy more of their fantastic food. Highly recommend!

One of our friends recommended this place. We went there to try out. It was fantastic; we loved our food. Here is what we ordered: Steamed Pork buns Gong bao chicken General tao chicken Chicken with chilies All were yummy

By far the most authentic and delicious Chinese food I've had, don't be fooled by the outside this is an hidden gem with an extensive menu including so many vegan options and unique dishes like jellyfish and vegetarian duck! Hu's fried rice was my personal favorite as it was umami and spicy and I can't wait to come back and try all of their dishes and even as a vegan have so many to try

Being totally honest the food was good by anyone standard just one of the dishes (cashew beef / no mushroom) we could’ve done without really wasn’t anything special so one star ⭐️ taken away bc of that but absolutely everything else was incredible. The atmosphere is second to none we ate outside and enjoyed the heaters on a chilly 🥶 Florida evening and enjoyed the downtown st Pete scenery service was also good … would highly recommend chicken satay , steamed dumplings and garlic sauce , Drunken beef noodle and pineapple 🍍 fried rice with chicken drizzled in peanut sauce

Lovely Thai restaurant in St. Pete. Fast, friendly, and delicious. We ordered the shrimp pad Thai, Massaman chicken curry, and some shrimp fried rice. Everything came out hot and fresh, the food was tasty and light. A great place to stop by with a nice happy hour that starts at 4:30. The portion sizes were generous and we were happy with everything we ordered! Will definitely be returning to try more of their menu!
