I visited this shop because I saw a friend post a picture of an amazing beautiful sweet dessert. The picture did not even half the justice that enjoying the food in person did. The shopkeepers are friendly and offer samples occasionally. They're really good at explaining everything on the menu and what to expect or asking you what you might like while making good recommendations. At first I tried though fresh watermelon drink which is essentially a watermelon squeezed into a cup with a little bit of ice, amazing! I was hooked on just that drink I want to live here. I tried the squid soup which my friend and I really liked even though it smelled gross we will be getting it again! Nothing was too sweet or too salty or too watery, everything was perfect. My friend and I enjoyed a full meal and felt where to full and the food was so good that we ordered a bunch to go.
On a separate note the bathroom and the restaurant is very clean and safe feeling.
I only wish that they could cater to a birthday or wedding.
Simple Taiwanese food that is great for a hangover.
Be prepared and have friends for the Honey bread, super sweet but amazing. I got the strawberry version with friends and was definitely intimidated, but the bread, being coated in sugar and butter, still manages to take the edge off the ice cream and custards.
The service was good. The girl who was taking our order was very nice and patient. I had a mochi with black bean soup and split the other dessert with others. A lot of bread for sure.
They also had non dessert menu which I would like to try next time. Parking lot available, good for all age and family setting.
I enjoy coming here for their honey toast dessert! They have a lot of other desserts that is only served at their Bellevue location. The honey toasts take about 20 minutes to make and serve. The servers here are pretty friendly and their client base is primarily Chinese customers. There are lots of street parking in International District!
After walking past this place over the last three years I decided to finally stop in. After we entered it felt like a whole different space compared to outside. They helped us right away and had a lot of different offerings.
I was really in the mood for something hot pot style and they recommended this Taiwanese dish. It was so delicious. It had meat, tofu, fish balls, and other things that I don’t know what they were. I will come back for sure. I also want to try some of their milk drinks and potted plant drinks.
Hardwok Cafe is among the best Taiwanese street food in Seattle (I'd recommend Henry's Taiwan as well). They've changed their menu recently, adding more waffle desserts and pared down their food menu as they've opened a Bellevue location which is disappointing because their street food is what brought me here!
If it's your first time, it's a must to order the toast loaf thing, but bring friends. It's super hard to eat it with just two people if you're also eating dinner!
Friendly staff and great service. Honey toast with chocolate was absolutely delicious. The fresh toast bread paired really well with mildly sweet ice cream.
Ordered popcorn chicken and milk tea today. The popcorn chicken is so crunchy and juicy. The portion is a lot. The service is smooth and nice. Will definitely come back to try other food!
Food is great! Comfort food for individuals away from their homelands.
Dine in is available.
They have contactless order and pay by scanning a QR code on the table.
Usually busy but never enough to discourage a visit, hardwok has been quietly churning out it's famed honey toast for quite some time now. Otherwise, its Taiwanese food is good, and the boba does it's job. Get a friend, split the bill, and call it a date.
