    We always enjoy dinners here. Six of us enjoyed a variety of entrees and mains and we all left full all for just over $200 which for 6 adults is amazing and hard to find. Staff are always lovely as well

    We ordered the fried chicken - really delicious! The fried rice was large enough for 3-4 people. The rice was okay, but it was the chicken and crispy spring rolls that gave the food more flavour.

    One of my favourite restaraunts in the CBD! I have been here numerous times and the food is always such high quality and reasonably priced. Staff are always lovely and provide good recommendations. I have a nut allergy and the staff always listen carefully and help me feel at ease when ordering. Love this place!

    We had a wonderful experience dining at Hawker Boys. We found the staff friendly and attentive, and thorough in making sure dietary needs were met (Coeliac and vegan diners). The food was incredible. I had the best Vegan Pho I've ever tasted and we all left looking forward to returning. Thanks guys!

    Food is quite tasty. Short wait time. Hardware Lane ambiance. Big plus is the fact that they take bookings and not restricted to have set menu, especially for big groups 7+. Thank you!

    The food was sensational with a good number of options for vegetarians/vegan! Loved their Crispy tofu bao and the family loved the prawn wontons in chilli oil and beef vermicelli bowl! Overall the food, the vibe and the ambience was great! Highly recommend the joint for amazing Vietnamese grub!! Con: the soy sauce dressing for the tofu vermicelli bowl was a tad bit salty! Would be great if they can have a lighter vegan alternative which is sweet and sour!
