BRIDGESBANGERS SANDWICH REVIEW 12 (4-29-21)Score(1/5?)LOCATION: Hawking Bird(Oakland,CA)ORDERED: Fried Chicken SandwichPrice $10.Stopped by @hawkingbirdoakland . The menu reads accurate for the most part. This though choice was not listed as leg meat. I was super excited about trying this michelin star roll out a killer menu. That said I was not overly thrilled. The chicken sandwich is all fried leg meat. Which is more flavorful but cheap. Ask someone who has worked as a butcher for years was not impressed. The breading was your average Joe’s the chicken flacky honestly don’t think I will try it again. The produce on the sandwich was limp and and didn’t provide any snap to the sandwich. As someone who works a football field away. This should speak volumes. I trust they can do better but I will not try again. Follow BridgesBangers for more Sandwich reviews.
I had a mocking bird tofu bowl (subbed the breaded tofu for the grilled tofu to keep it vegan), which was delish! I was pleasantly surprised by how good the meal was- I also had the coconut milk Thai iced tea, which was also excellent.There weren’t a lot of vegan options, but I appreciated how the menu was clearly labeled (including the substitution I mentioned previously). Undoubtedly worth a visit!
Good food but small portion sizes. If I'm paying $13 for a rice bowl, I expect to not be hungry afterwards.We also got the chicken sandwich. It was good. Average size. Nothing special.
I had the Hawking Chicken Rice bowl with fried rice and it was delicious
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.
Delicious and super crunchy freshly fried chicken - and Wheat free! The sauces added that extra touch of yumminess. They have a few outdoor tables for eating. Indoor service is not currently open.
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
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 Pork Belly rice, Wings, Garlic noodles and Katsu rice! All were really delicious! It was impossible to stop eating it as I loved every bite!The Garlic noodles are where it's at! And the pork was cooked crispy but soft and just deliciousAlso get the watermelon seltzer!The food was prepared perfectly faster than expected.
