Hawking Bird - Oakland

Delicious fusion of thai and chicken sandwich. My friends call it 'Thai Bake Sale Betty 's '. Not only delicious, but at a very reasonable price, a rarity in the trendy Temescal area. FOOD: (4.5 out of 5) Tofu Sandwich: Wow, a soft fluffy block of tofu breaded and fried. The tofu is from a local tofu manufacturer Hodo, and it 's not the firm brick-like tofu, but it 's more silky and fluffy. All around delicious. Comes with a sweet barbecue like sauce on a fluffy brioche type bread. (3 out of 5) Tater tots: Not sure why this is on the menu to be honest. The group got some for the table, and it 's just the basic tater tot. Comes with sweet and sour sauce or hot chili sauce. OVERALL: Really love this place. A low-key reasonably priced place in Temescal, a rare find in the area. Serves great chicken and tofu sandwiches with a thai twist.

Ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich with tots and a drink, and it was absolutely delicious! The fried chicken was HUGE and so crispy and juicy. Definitely the best fried chicken sandwich that I’ve ever had. All the flavors worked well together. My boyfriend got the curry chicken bowl and really liked the flavor and freshness of ingredients. There could’ve been more curry but it was still tasty. We’ll definitely come in person so we can experience the food hot

Fast service and delicious! We had the pork belly bowl...loved it! The cole slaw was good...it's not creamy but good flavor of lime juice with a hint of spicy jalapeño. The wings have a good sauce flavor and the chicken was not dry at all. Tasty fried chicken sandwich...loved the sandwich buns. We'll definitely go back again for a taste of other food options.

It's been a while since I ate here. And it was just as I expected and was craving for. Same attentive service, seat-yourself outdoor seating, good proportions and good and super well prepared fried chicken (fried chicken bowl) and poached chicken (bbq chicken salad). I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

Excellent, excellent. And reasonable prices like $14/15 for an entree. The blistered green beans were nicely spicy and the garlic noodles were satisfying. Michelin star chef/owner, sunny sidewalk dining in dynamic Temescal district.
