Mee Siam
Robin L.

Shoutout to this hometown hawker-esque restaurant. Heads up, cash or debit only! While portions are HUGE, the quality of the food itself did not disappoint. Although we didn't order their favorites, I was still extremely pleased at how they preserved authenticity and the flavor profiles. Most dishes are $13.95 plus tax, it was also nice to see that these guys did not expect any tips! The cafe/hawker is self service and relatively small. Not ideal for big groups. Will definitely be back to try out their other options but finally glad I could find a solid mee rebus out here in the PNW!

it's the kind of place that feels like it hasn't changed in years and we kinda hope it never does

haven't been to this singapore/malaysian restaurant in a hot minute, this used to be one of our go to little hole-in-the-walls. miss the lady who used to run the front, and the chef/owner was off today, which might explain a few things. voted #2 in georgia straight's golden plates 2024 for cheap eats, with most dishes priced at $13.95. the lamb curry rice is $18.95, beef curry noodle and nasi lemak is $14.50, and beef curry rice is $16.50. we showed up at 6:48 pm on a saturday and i totally forgot they only accept cash or debit. located at 4127 main street, near east king ed, street parking available. closed on sundays. i've tried most everything on the menu over the years, and often get the roti prata, sayur lodeh bee hoon, or laksa. this time, we ordered the fried kuey teow with chicken, hainanese chicken rice, and the mee pok. got everything to go, as the venue is tiny. the char kuey teow is usually the star, wide rice noodles stir fried with soy sauce, bean sprouts, egg, and a bit of heat, meant to be smoky and slightly caramelized from high heat wok cooking. this time around, it was missing the wok hay, no smokiness, no magic. the flavours just didn't hit like they used to, and portions seemed smaller. the hainanese chicken rice came with poached chicken and rice cooked in fragrant broth. the meat was fine, but lacked the silky, tender bite we were hoping for, and the rice could've used more seasoning. did they ever serve the ginger and scallion oil, and chilli, or am i getting this mixed up with another place? the mee pok, flat egg noodles tossed in a savoury sauce, served with fish cake, prawn, bean sprouts and ground pork, had decent texture, but overall felt a bit muted, like it was missing that punch of umami and vinegar that usually makes it sing. still, there's something endearing about this tiny spot, faded food photos on bright yellow walls, plastic plants, laminated menus taped up wherever there's space, and a fridge full of canned drinks humming away in the corner. it's the kind of place that feels like it hasn't changed in years, and we kinda hope it never does. fingers crossed it was just an off night, we're still cheering them on.

Laksa

I went to this restaurant for lunch on August 13, 2025. It was my first time there and I was looking for a quick, filling, and reasonably priced lunch. This restaurant fits the bill. I ordered the Laksa and it did not disappoint. It was ready 7 minutes after I placed the order. The soup base was creamy and the bowl was full of ingredients. I was particularly impressed by the freshness of the prawns. The overall dish was hot, but the chicken was cold. Some people might like it cold but I like everything piping hot. This was the only criticism I have of the dish. However, priced at $13.95, this is definitely good value that I cannot find anywhere else in Vancouver. There are only a few tables for sitting, but people finish their meals quickly and leave, so there were always seats available while I was in the restaurant. It is hard to find free parking nearby, I ended up parking 3 blocks away.

Laksa

it is a very small restaurant with very crowded seats. but they definitely has the my favorite laksa in Vancouver. the price and portion size are very reasonable at this time with crazy inflation. the soup has the right balance of coconut milk creaminess and spiciness recommend

Nasi Lemak
Elton C.

As a Southeast Asian food lover, I have been searching for the authentic taste in Vancouver. I heard about this small bistro on the Main St and I felt excited to give it a try. It was not hard to find the shop and there are plenty of street parking nearby. The moment I entered the shop, the smell was so familiar and my nose told me this is authentic. There were many picture of their dishes posted on the wall. This is really great for first time customers. I ordered Nasi Lemak as it is a signature dish of Malaysian cuisine. The rice with rich flavour of coconut, the fried chicken pieces were nicely done without over cooked and perfect to eat with the sauce. It was wonderful! I would appreciate if they can add some dried small fishes to the dish. I asked the server for recommendations and she also recommended chicken rice and mie goreng (fried noodle). I will try them when I visit there next time. In terms of price performance I think this place is highly recommended.

New on menu. New prices update. January 2021.

Two things I will order here when I want a taste of Singapore food are the fried kway teow and vegetable fritters. On my last visit, the staff asked if I wanted the Singapore style with lup cheong (Chinese sausage) or just with chicken (not sure what version that is). I guess now they try to differentiate the different types of fried kway teow. Items I don't really like on the menu are the bak Kut teh and Mee rebus. They are not what I'm used to back in Singapore. The other dishes I've tried are ok, not so bad.

10/10 would recommend staying in and ordering takeout from Hawkers Delight Deli and sharing with good people. Delicious authentic Singaporean and Malaysian food and known for good cheap eats in Vancouver! Delightful Friday night! We've come here a handful of times most ordering to take home. Born and raised in south Vancouver this place is legend! We can't comment too much about the service or ambiance doing takeout but this Hawkers Delight is always busy and we all know why! Best kept non-secret in Vancouver as cheap delicious eats!

Like what people have been saying. Parking is horrible in this area. It is smaller place so, it's easy to miss if you're driving at night. They have a good selection on their menu. When I got the food, it was fresh and hearty. Everything is in take out containers as this place only offers take out. The hainanese chicken and the fried rice was two of the most recommended dish. Will try the Laksa next time.

Mee goreng, spring rolls and roti
Kate M.

My last review was a year ago and since then I am thrilled to say I've been to Hawkers and have ordered from Hawkers multiple times and it's always SO DELICIOUS! Tonight we ordered - Mee Pok - noodles with a pork sauce, pork cutlets, fish cakes and prawns and it was so tasty, flavour on point! We got veggie fritters which were sizeable for $2 and came with a vinegar based dipping sauce. We also got spring roles as well which were piping and so flavourful. A MUST that we always get is the Roti Prata - delicious flakey thin dough dipped in a spicy-ish coconut curry sauce of sorts. Phenomenal food and perfect for a cold winters night! Also the value is great - $38 total for our two meals and we've got lots of leftovers!

Char Kway Teow
Eula B.

This place is a local Gen in Vancouver offering hawkers food in the city. The place is small and cozy and i believe it's cash only. The service was quick and easy. You order at the cash register and beside them is the cutlery stand. You get a number and wait for it to get called. I ordered char kway teow and it's absolutely tasty. The noodles were good and there was so much meat. So full after. I definitely want to go back here and order other dishes on the menu.

Totally forgot about this place so it was time to give them another go. Parking is quite awful here. Totally rememebered why I haven't been here in ages. Cross your fingers and look on the side streets. Staff are the real deal Singaporean. Prices are still somewhat reasonable, though personally I found the portions a wee bit on the small side. I had their fried kuey teow. It's a bit sweeter than the HK style equivalent. Nice and tasty though. Their vegetable fritters are better than the last time I had them (previous review). They were actually warm this time. Came with dipping sauce too. Wouldn't mind coming back.

Have been going to Hawkers for a long time but kinda forgot about this place after moving further from the Main Street area. Was around the neighbourhood running errands and decided to order some take out. This is a beloved hole in the wall Malaysian joint that would be similar to a Hawker stall in Asia. Food is made fresh, fast, and furious with good portion sizes and affordable prices. Today, ordered the Laksa, Roti pratha, Hainese chicken with rice, and Fried Kuey Teow (spicy). Reheated the large single roti in the toaster over and it came out warm and flakey. The curry dipping sauce was wonderful and for $3.50, it is a solid deal. Laksa is filling, full of seafood, and the soup base is rich, creamy, and flavourful. This has always been one of my go-to dishes as it can be hard to find a good laksa in the city. Hainese chicken with rice is also one of my favourites here. It still doesn't disappoint with tender juicy chicken, flavourful chicken scented rice, and a nice chili dipping sauce. The Fried Kuey Teow with chicken that I ordered spicy but couldn't really taste the spice. However, it is a nice dish filled with lots of chicken and toppings. A tad oily but typical of a rice noodle stir fry dish. Order came out to be $44.50, which could easily feed 3 people. There's a reason why this gem continues to be beloved in the city!

Small shop and with limited seating. It was packed around lunch and dinner time. Parking was a bit tough. Cash only!!! 7/10 Fried Kuey Teow - good portion and price but flavor was just ok. Noodles were good. Might try other dishes but wouldn't get this again.

Laksa (CAD $13.50), Nasi Goreng (CAD $13.50), Hainanese Chicken Rice (CAD $13.50), Fried Kuey Teow (CAD $13.50)

If you have ever had Peranakan food in Singapore and wish there is a place selling it in Vancouver,…read morelook no further. Bibik's is a true blue authentic Peranakan pop up kitchen. Unfortunately it is not a full fledged restaurant (Covid has scuttled the plan) but luckily we can still get to have our Nonya food fix via the commissary kitchen. The challenge is actually placing an order. It is a pre-ordering system where you have to stalk their IG account. The call to order is usually on Sunday and you place the order online and make payment. Then you wait a week for the pick up at YVR Prep on Saturday (90 mins window). I am lucky to get my order in as it sells out very quickly. They have a limited quantity per week. It is usually 3 items which are available each week (appetizer/snack/dessert, entree and a drink) I think I have tried almost all the dishes they offer over the months. Everything is good. My absolute favorite is the Mee Siam. I liken it to Violet Oon (or typical Bibik household) standard in Singapore. You could taste the spices in the rempah. The aromatic is more pronounced. I just feel there is pride in the dishes made, to introduce what real Peranakan food is. For me that is really Singapore food, food that I miss. Now if only there is Ayam buah keluak too, that will make my life complete. Haha. I also wish for itek tim, hee peow soup and Babi pongteh. I was so glad I managed to try the Tok Panjang which was available during the holidays. That was really a feast with plenty of dishes -- itek sio, sambal prawns, chap chye, ngoh hiang, achar, pulot hitam and the nonya Kuehs. I love the design and packaging too. It is all very simple yet pretty and great care has been taken in the products. They are very friendly too. Follow their IG if you have a hankering for Singapore food. They usually post pictures of Singapore and the food. But that may not be a great idea now since traveling is restricted and it may make the cravings even worse.

First time trying bibik's on my brother's recommendation. He noted that their laksa noodles were…read morevery good so we decided to try their new item, laksa fried rice. Pickup was easy from their commissary kitchen. As you can see in the photo, the portions are very generous and it was very flavourful! There are actually a lot of prawns hidden under the fried egg, arranged artfully in a spiral. The fried egg was perfectly cooked with a soft runny yolk (just the way I like it!) Apparently they sell out very fast so if you want to order, best to do so on their instagram on the day the release the menu for the week. Only comment I have is I wish it was hotter as I picked it up during lunch hour and brought it home immediately to eat. I was too hungry this time, but next time I'd probably heat it up more. Still delicious lukewarm!

Currently renovating at the moment / temporarily closed at the moment as of October 25. Luckily I…read morewas able to try this place twice earlier in the month. During my first visit I ordered the monthly special, which was a Burmese burger with mala spiced fries . The Burmese burger featured tea leaf aioli that I could honestly bathe as it was swimmingly delicious. I wish the fries had a little bit more spice, but we a good accompaniment.. After reading some reviews on yelp I came back a second time and ordered what seemed to be a local favorite which were the salted egg yolk chicken wings, which were honestly to die for especially with the chili crisp sauce . New favorite dish alert !!!!! Super crispy , salty , flaky and unique chicken wings . First time I ever tried salted egg anything despite seeing it as an option a few times in the past at Chinese restaurants in San Francisco, as well as in Singapore. I'm grateful that this place put "salted egg "on my radar. I've since had several dreams about those chicken wings and was a little sad two weeks later that the place was remodeling. It was literally my first stop after getting my rental car. I'm glad though that this place is only a temporary closed due to remodeling as I highly recommend this place.

I came here a couple of times and visited again recently. The food was still great. The menu was…read morenot big but it included all the popular dishes that people love. Usually we could eat those dishes in Singapore and Malaysia as street food but we were lucky that we could eat them here in Canada. I recommended reserving a table if you haven't tried more than four guests. When we placed an order, we had to go to the counter, ordered the food and paid. The service was good. Servers were friendly. We could find street parking but I would recommend parking in the residential area and walking to the restaurant.
