The laksa was delicious but the portion is on the smaller side than what I'm used to. The boiled egg was at soft-boiled consistency which I liked, and there's an option to order using a kiosk. Overall, it's a hidden find in SF given that Singaporean food is hard to find in the US.

Char Kway Teow.                                         Had eaten all the shrimp after realizing when I took the pics.

The food was good. I had ordered the Char Kway Teow noodle dish. Good flavors. Loved the shrimp in it. The Chinese sausage was a good add on, but I could even do without. Service was good. They were nice & friendly. Pretty fast too. Ambiance was spacious, since it's at the food court of the Metreon.

Chicken Cutlet Chicken Rice
Mary Jae L.

Came a very busy time and so there was a pretty long way to order both at the kiosk and in person. The staff was very busy, but it did not take too long for the food to be ready. The staff was great about answering questions about allergies. The vegan laksa had one of the most flavorful vegan broth that I have ever had. The portion was generous. The chicken cutlet dish with rice also very tasty. It was difficult to find seating inside on such a busy day however, there were tables outside as well.

Excellent food for what you'd normally expect at a food court. We went for lunch during a busy week and found Dabao as we were wandering around the Moscone Center area. Always been a fan of laksa and Char Kway Teow so that's exactly what we ordered from Dabao Ordering was easy on the touchscreen or you can order in person. Food was prepared very quickly in to go containers and Staff was friendly and helpful when we picked up our food. Water is available as well. It's in a food court so expect a loud environment Both dishes were very good and tasted authentic. My one complaint would be for both dishes, the noodles were slightly overcooked even though we ate them immediately. The laksa had good flavor with lots of veggies and seafood. The Char kwey teow was great, generous portions of veggies and proteins. I really like the sambal that's included, I think I used most of it to add a nice kick to the char kwey teow. Overall a great place to get some Singaporean food. Prices are fair for what you are getting.

Undercooked rice
James S.

Ordered the poached hainanese chicken rice. Food came out fairly quick even though there was an event going on so service was quick. The chicken and vegetables were flavored and good. The down side of this dish was the rice itself. A bit of flavor in it but very undercooked. Each bite of the rice was mixed with eating undercooked/raw rice.

Hainanese chicken, poached
Samantha C.

Place caught my eye while I was perusing Yelp for a place to eat in the area since there aren't many Singaporean restaurants around. My group stopped by about an hour before they close and the line was constantly 4-5 groups, but the workers did such a good job getting things out in a timely manner while being friendly. You can either order with a cashier or on a screen, then wait for them to call your order number. We wanted to try the char kway teow but they were sold out for the day. What we ate: Hainanese chicken, poached (10/5) -- the best flavor in the Bay with perfectly cooked, aromatic rice and velvety chicken. It is served with 3 different sauces that elevate the dish--scallion ginger oil (more like a paste), a deep red caramelized onion tasting paste, and chili sauce. It comes with some refreshing, sesame oil coated vegetables as well as a cup of the most aromatic side soup. Such a steal for only ~$18 Seafood laksa (5/5) -- love the heat and creaminess of the broth. Brimming with seafood flavor, super bouncy noodles, and proteins of varying textures, this is very addictive. I was also tempted to get their Pokemon-themed butter mochi and rainbow jelly that they prepared for the Pokemon World Championship. I can't wait to return and try their curry puffs and char kway teow!!

Stumbled across this place bc we got the heytea nearby. Ordered the roasted hainanese chicken rice through the kiosk. Total was 18.41 which is lwk expensive, restaurant price for a small foodcourt type meal. Came out relatively quick. The lady working there gave me stink eye while she waited for me to pickup my food lol. First glance it was hefty. Sad portion of chicken, it was prob one small chicken thigh, some steamed vegetables, and so so so SO MUCH rice. Chicken came with a sweet n sour chili sauce(?) and a lemongrass type sauce. Also came with a broth but i didnt try it. The chicken itself was okay, kinda dry in a way but fine with sauce. Rice had decent flavor.

We were in San Francisco and it was busy and we were looking for food. Metreon has changed a lot and the food court has changed. We were craving noodles so we saw Davao apparently they have a history of decent Singaporean food and we stumbled across this restaurant. They had Laksa and other dishes to choose from. It was authentic not your typical Asian restaurant with an American influence. So if you are in downtown and craving Singaporean food try Dabao.

Food (5/5): Ordered the five spice hainanese chicken rice and the Char Kway Teow noodles. They were both delicious and enjoyable! Price is around $16-18 per dish. Service (4/5): You order from a tablet and food takes around 10 minutes to come out. You take the food and just sit wherever in the food court. Ambiance (4/5): Inside a food court in the metreon mall near the AMC.

Crispy Chicken Cutlet Chicken Rice

We were in town at the Metreon and wanted to give Dabao Singapore a try. I haven't had Singaporean noodles since I visited Singapore last year and trying their noodles brought me back! The noodles were perfect in texture with a little bit of heat. The food was prepared fairly quickly. Staff were very busy but still managed to smile! It's located in the metreon so you can't miss it!!

Char Kway Teow
James L.

This place was surprisingly good for a food court. It was easily the busiest spot when we visited, which turned out to be a good sign. We ordered the char kway teow and the roasted Hainanese chicken with rice. The char kway teow was the highlight. Really flavorful, and the little side of sambal gave it a nice extra kick. The Hainanese chicken was good for food court standards, though it wasn't as hot or as fresh tasting as what I've had at dedicated restaurants. That said, the rice and soup were both delicious and packed with flavor. Overall, it's a solid option if you're craving these dishes and want something quick and casual. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area.

Ayam Nasi Lemak
Jamee S.

Dabao is located inside the Yerba Buena food court. Great find and a great way to try Singaporean food! Service was quick. Tables were clean. Decent spot for a quick bite to eat. Food options are limited but you should be able to find what you like. For lunch we ordered: CHICKEN CUTLET: Crispy chicken on top of deliciously seasoned rice. Loved the steamed veggies. The sauces are interesting and flavorful, complementing the chicken. ROASTED HAINANESE CHICKEN: Another delicious plate. AYAM NASI LEMAK: Fried chicken over coconut rice. Loved the sambal sauce. Interesting side of crispy anchovies and peanuts. Definitely will return if I'm in the area.

Char Kway Teow
William O.

Dabao is a gem of a place in the Metreon food court. Really unique, tasty food with lots of fun textures and flavors. The Service here was friendly, but I actually used their touch screen to order my food, so my interaction with them was minimal. I ordered the Char Kway Teow, which is a noodle dish that is Similar to a Thai pad see ew. It has the wide flat rice noodles in a sweet, garlicky sauce, some lime and a yummy paste on the side that reminded me of gochuchang sauce but maybe more fishy. This dish is so delicious and it's such a good portion. You get two large shrimp on top along with some pieces of fish cakes mixed with the noodles and green onion. I will definitely come back again to try more of their dishes.

Hello! We take Apple Pay!

Hi I sent a private message regarding a crab order for this Saturday that I'd like answered please. Thank you. I can't find any contact phone number or email for me to reach anyone. The website just brings me to orders and no contact help?

Hi Gloria! Apologies I didn't get the message. Are you able to email order@dabaosingapore.com please? We will revert there!

What is the portion size? Is it small or big, given that the price is on the expensive side.

Hello Jessica, thank you for asking! Each dish is for a single serving size.

Service was just okay though. Staff did their job, but they did not check-in with us after we ordered. We got the Royal Osha, which seemed small in pictures, but is actually quite a lot of food and variety. There was 3 of us and we were all stuffed by the end of the meal! The price was a bit more expensive (arouns $90), but it did feed 3 people. My favorite was the pad thai, steak, and pork belly with brussels sprouts - you can get these individually as well. Very well-seasoned and flavorful, though on the sweeter side. I feel like it was also a substantial amount of food. There was a lot of coconut milk in the red curry, which I did not enjoy. We also got Thai style papaya salad, which was lighter than I was used to. Not very spicy. The fresh coconut was SO good - they give you a spoon to be able to eat the inside as well. Would return for individual dishes if I'm in the area with others and looking for a bigger meal!

I'm not a party planner, but Joe made the whole process so easy. He was responsive, organized, and thoughtful about every detail. The private room looked beautiful. They printed our seating chart, set up a monitor for our slideshow, and provided a microphone for speeches. The food and drinks arrived so smoothly that I barely noticed the service. Everything was simply taken care of. And the food! Everybody was blown away. The Burmese-spiced chicken wings were phenomenal, and my kids loved them. The spring rolls, which I initially chose as a vegetarian option, ended up being one of my favorites. The spicy chicken was excellent, too. Joe even arranged for a beef curry I'd loved years ago at their sister restaurant, despite it no longer being on the menu. It became our family's favorite dish of the evening. They also made a delicious chicken dish for a few picky younger guests and took care of our musician. There was an abundance of food, with plenty to take home. Warm hospitality, incredible food, and a seamless evening. Huge thanks to Joe and the entire B Star team for making such a special celebration feel effortless. Highly recommend them for a private party or simply a great meal.

I'd heard good things about B Star, and I was able to make a dinner reservation about 20 minutes in advance. We decided to start with the staples - tea leaf salad and platha + dip - and split the laksa for our main course. I was surprised to see laksa on the menu, but we decided to give it a try since we were both in the mood for curry and noodle soup. The platha + dip came out first, and everything about this dish was perfection. The platha was thin, crispy, and oily without being overly greasy, and we both couldn't get enough of the curry sauce served on the side. I liked how the tea leaf salad was served with a generous amount and variety of toppings, although, the salad itself was overly-dressed and soggy as a result. The laksa had good flavor, and the noodles had a nice chewiness. The fried tofu added some crunch, although the shrimp could have used more flavor. While I would definitely come back to B Star just for the platha + dip alone, I would like to try some the other entrees. The cozy restaurant felt right at home in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit.
