Hawk & Chick is packing a lot of flavour into a small space. This takeout joint specializes in bento boxes stuffed with home-cooked Korean food, with a few Japanese cuisine options as well. Chef Joe Kim —previously of Momofuku, amongst others — has enlisted the help of none other than his own mother to help out in the kitchen, making sure the kimchi, lotus root and other pickled vegetables taste as authentic and love filled as possible. Hawk boasts high ceilings and a mural by Jennifer Ilett, which make the old shoe repair shop feel open and larger than it is. Hawk & Chick guarantees filling, quality food that will crush all craving in a pinch.
