Hawkers Asian Street Food: A Global Street Market on Atlantic Avenue

Sunday 23 August 2026·By Hawkers Asian Street Food

Tucked into the heart of Atlantic Avenue, Hawkers Asian Street Food brings a globally inspired, street-food-driven menu to downtown Delray Beach, pairing bold Southeast Asian flavors with a lively bar program just a short stroll from the beach.

A Chain Rooted in Shared Heritage

Hawkers began in 2011 in Orlando, founded by four childhood friends whose family roots trace to Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Florida. Their shared goal was introducing American diners to the communal, flavor-forward spirit of Asian street food markets. The concept has since grown into a multi-state chain, with the Delray Beach outpost marking the brand's first arrival in South Florida.

A Menu Built for Sharing

The kitchen turns out small plates meant for the table, drawing from Malaysian, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Thai traditions. Examples on the menu include roti canai served with curry sauce, Hong Kong sticky ribs, Singapore mei fun, and curry laksa, alongside vegetarian and gluten-free-friendly options. The space itself leans into neon-lit, high-energy decor, with an expansive patio that adds to the laid-back atmosphere along the avenue.

Good to Know

Hawkers Asian Street Food is located at 640 E Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33483. Beyond dine-in service, the restaurant offers online ordering, catering, and gift cards, making it a flexible option for both a spontaneous dinner and a planned event along one of downtown Delray's busiest restaurant corridors.
