    I rarely eat in here, but when I do I enjoy the atmosphere and service. Much more frequently, I do take out, and it is always great. The ingredients taste fresh and perfectly seasoned, and it is always on time. HB is probably my favorite spot for take out in Oakland.

    Kudos to the kitchen and management at HawkingBird. Got takeout tonight: fried chicken bowl W chick fat rice and curry fried chicken bowl. We been frequently this Oakland gem since it opened! The fried chicken consistency had been dodgy last year and I’m pleasantly surprised how nicely fried and succulent the fried chicken was. My husband LOVED the curry and will ask for extra curry on our next visit.
