A lot of South East Asian food stalls to choose from with their respective famous dishes . Service is fast and go. Very busy place and foods are good plus you can see them cooking what you've ordered. Clean and orderly place. Urban Hawker is a gem on 50th Street.

Decent spot to grab a quick bite. Although if you have never been here, it could take u a while to decide what to get, lol. I recommend getting the sushi rice, though I've been back recently and haven't seen the sushi rice balls. But you can still try some of the other asian style foods. They do have sushi restaurant inside but not the rice balls I tried. They have thai, Chinese, japanese, filipino, Indian food. I didn't see korean...

The Yelp reviews helped set my expectations. It's a nice, modern food hall with a TON of options featuring southeast asian dishes with American prices. Staff is nice, it's kept clean inside, and a ton of seating which is nice.

Really cool concept for a food court Singaporean style. I really liked the decorations and all the food options and stalls. The bathrooms are clean and the tables and set up is very functional and orderly. It is near a rather touristy area so I was surprised by how empty it was during lunch on a saturday. More people should be checking it out. Each stall has its own food style and many options to choose from including a really cool bar.

Worth dropping by to try a bit of SE Asia. Ok is it the exact experience, price and flavors? Not exactly, but a decent attempt to bring together an array of Singaporean, Malaysian, Indonesian, and Filipino, new Asian food vendors in a communal setting. It's like a Whitman's sampler of NYC SE Asian food - comparable or slight pricier than your average NYC food court or take out spot, decent quality and even some pretty tasty morsels in there, and most likely at least one thing someone in the group will enjoy. Not counting the times I've dropped by to pick up Lady Wong pastries, I've probably eaten here or gotten take out 7-8 times. And as the only SE Asian food court of its kind in NYC, (and really outside of Thai and Vietnamese there's not a whole lot of representation of other SE Asian ethnic foods--though that's gradually growing), it offers enough specialized dishes in a single location to warrant dropping by. Also good to take people from outta town, or meet up with friends to share a few different items. My recommendations include: 1) at Prawnaholic Collections: roasted sesame sauce pork rib noodles--pricy but tasty! and the traditional prawn and pork ribs noodles use a shrimp-centric broth. 2) at Jakarta Munch: beef beef meatball soup noodles for a lighter meal, minced beef bowl was decent though maybe not first pick. 3) White restaurant: since beehoon is rice noodles in little bit of broth, generally they are on the lighter side. Pork katsu, fish and seafood options are decent. 4) Tradisyon: pork adobo bowl, yum! 5) Mamak's corner: this one is tough bc from my experience they have a tendency to sell out of certain dishes, go earlier to sample more of the menu. The serving sizes tend to be smaller here tho prices aren't bad. 6) sling bar: havent tried their regular menu drinks tho happy hour drinks served in plastic cups. 7) Wok&Staple: their crab dishes look phenomenal tho I've never personally tried. 8) Lady Wong: my fave! I love their kueh varieties, and sweet and savory baked pastries! They have super authentic and creative flavors! Their specialty desserts are also amazing and not too sweet. As for prices, yes they are not SE Asian prices, though comparatively the rent, labor, ingredient and inflation costs here aren't SE Asian costs either.

Date: Saturday, May 4th, 2024 Time: around 6:45pm Party of: 4 Meal: Dinner *Wok & Staple *Hainan Jones *Mr Fried Rice *Prawnaholic *The Sling Bar Our strategy was to divide and conquer once we found a table. The hubby and I ended up getting the Black Pepper Crab from Wok & Staple and the Hainanese Chicken Rice from Hainan Jones, while the boys grabbed food from the other three spots. It was fairly busy when we got here, but not too hard to find a table. We actually ended up bumping into some friends here as well. Small world, huh? So we all sat together with our party of 6. I love variety, so this was a good find. Obviously pricier than a hawker center in Singapore, but not a bad spot to fulfill that craving. Glad I was finally able to check this place out! REVIEW #3401

Little Chinatown in Manhattan! The reputation of this food mecca preceded itself. We already knew we had to try this place when we were organizing our itinerary to NYC. We were already planning to visit Chinatown, but this was like Chinatown in midtown Manhattan! It's nicely laid out with food vendors lining a main walkway with dining areas on both ends. The food vendors form a "fusion" of various cuisines but essentially they range from Indian, Indonesian, Thai, Malaysian and Singaporean influences. If I didn't live 974 miles away, I would eat here every other day and still wouldn't sample all the dishes in a month. This food hall houses the following vendors. My fingers lack the strength to type out their menus so go visit them or look up their menus. Daisy's Dream Prawnaholic Collections Wok & Staple Sushi by Mr Lim The Sling Bar Kopifellas Jakarta Munch Mamak's Corner Smokin' Joe Hainan Jones Lady Wong Mr Fried Rice Padi D'NYC Tradisyon White Restaurant After walking around for 5 minutes I finally had to decide and picked Prawnaholic Collections. I ordered the Singapore Char Kway Teow. It was heavenly! Cooked just like back home. Yom Yom Yom Yom. Noodles had beautiful color, just enough veggies, shrimp and fish cakes were perfectly charred, and it tasted delicious! It was pricey but you get a nice portion. Matthew go the Singapore Hokkien Mee and it was also spot on. Mixed with pieces of fried egg, it had large beautiful shrimp and squid. Yom Yom Yom. If you're remotely a fan of asian cuisine, you would enjoy this food hall. From the list above, you will absolutely find something you like. They label it as a "Singapore" food court, but it's not just Singaporean food although Singaporean food draws its influences from any different sources. Section off at least 30 minutes and try Urban Hawker. You won't be disappointed.

Setting foot into this place, would be akin to a child seeing Disneyland in person for the first time. I'm sure people would low key agree with some aspect of that sentence since the vendors here charge Disneyland prices for their food. It is in the middle of the city and it's a novelty spot so I won't factor it in my review. It's par for the course. This place has a bevy of options that you wouldn't know where to begin and I only had enough in me to try out one so I went to what brought my attention to this place (via Instagram), Hainan Jones. (I have a separate review of the place) After an amazing lunch I had from there, I'm eager to see what more of the other vendors have to offer. They even have a bar at the back of the hawker so after a few visits I'll check that out. The Urban Hawker has something for everyone, they have their own take on Starbucks as the first spot you see when coming in, then they have various eateries originating from almost all the hot spots in Asia whether you're looking for something from Singapore, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan, it's there. It might not be that same experience of going to an actual hawker in Singapore (mainly because there's many of them over there and the food is cheaper) but for what it's worth, I'd say this spot is pretty close.

I've been to this Singaporean / Asian food hall a couple of times now. The interior is vast, with a very nice, organized layout. There was also seating throughout the space. The first time I came here, it was with a bunch of friends after church. It was a little overwhelming because there were so many tasty looking options. I finally decided on the Teriyaki Salmon with fried rice from Mr. Fried Rice. However, what I was actually served did not match the photo, which showed Chinese sausage fried rice. There definitely was not any sausage in the rice. The Salmon was decent, as it was tender and marinated in the sweet teriyaki sauce. The rice, however, was quite bland. I also got Pumpkin Spice kopi coffee from Kopifellas, which was enjoyable. There was a nice pumpkin flavor and the coffee was smooth and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. I tried some desserts from Lady Wong, including the exquisite looking Coffee Ferraro Rocher Cake and Ube Nian Gao. I really wasn't a fan of the Ferraro Rocher Cake and there was not even a hint of any coffee and barely any hazelnut taste. Thankfully I was able to get my money back for that. The Ube Nian Gao was delicious and satisfyingly sticky. The second time I visited, I brought a friend for dinner. I went with Prawnaholics dish consisting of shrimp, ribs with noodles. This was beautifully plated, and very good. The shrimp was succulent, juicy, while the ribs were perfectly cooked and full of bold flavor. The noodles were nicely al dente. From Kopifellas, I had the White Chocolate kopi coffee, which was a lovely blend of cocoa and coffee. This is a wonderful concept, and executed fairly well. The staff are helpful and welcoming. Prices are decent, especially for the area. Next time, I would like to get the Black Pepper Crab from Uglylicious and the Mango Sticky Rice Tart from Lady Wong.
