02.11.26 @3:30pm Walk in is like a chinese take out size. Place your order and find your own seating. Is style is similar to a Chinese take out. I'm not sure is a Singapore or Malaysian style but definitely not authentic.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
It's warm afternoon. Unfortunately as they didn''t have AC, I decided to order Fried Kway Teow with chicken and vegetable flitter for to go and eat at home. Dish was tasty. Due to dark soy sauce, it looks like very salty or strong soy sauce tatse but not so much once you bite. Very delicious. I haven't had vegetable flitter for long and when their shape turned perfect round like being used ice cream scoop? It's huge now. That's good. read more
This is a small, tight space with a food court style layout where you walk up to the counter to order. It is cash only, unless you have a Canadian debit card. Their food items were mainly spicy and not very kid friendly. In fact, the family at the table next to us was complaining in Chinese Cantonese about how spicy everything was, even though they had requested mild to no spice. While the flavors were strong, the popular Hainan chicken was just okay, it was nice that it was boneless, but we have definitely had better elsewhere. There are no bathrooms available for customers. The seating is very limited inside, there are only 4 tables (two that seat two people and two that seat four) along with a few counter spots. Sadly, we won't be coming back. I originally came here after watching a social media reel, and I feel like I got tricked. read more

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! read more

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. read more
Theres always a few hidden gems around our neighborhood yet to be discovered From the moment I was in the restaurant to the moment I left, theres non-stop of customers coming in and out, and that has sure proven the popularity of this small business. They have a pretty large menu and it took me forever to be able to pick what I want to eat! Laksa is their most popular item on the menu, so we have to give it a try. I really like how subtle the coconut milk is but the whole dish is still very flavorful. They also put a generous among of ingredients in it. The nasi goreng and the fried kuey was also very delicious. However my favorite would have to be the Hainanese chicken rice. The chicken was so tender and soft. The rice to me is definitely the star of the whole dish. It's so flavorful but light at the same time! Sometimes the fragrant rice tends to feel a bit oily, but it is not the case here at all. I really enjoyed everything I had! read more
=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Some tastes of Singapore come to Main Street in Vancouver at a reasonable price - and that's a good thing! === 2. FOOD If you've eaten Hainanese chicken at a "hawka centa" in Singapore, you'll know how naturally (or unnaturally?) addicting it can be - seemingly healthy (not fried) chicken that's boneless and tastes amazingly good on its own or with rice. So it's with high expectations that we ventured to try out Hawkers Delight Deli... Hainanese Chicken Rice ($10.99): a chicken leg on rice with cucumbers and a tomato slice. HDD gets points for offering boneless chicken (some places in town do bone-in instead), a decent flavour for the chicken, and the tomato is a nice touch I suppose (not commonly offered). But it loses points for coarse chopping (tomato is a thick slice, cucumbers are big chunks that are harder to eat vs. everyone else offering thin, easy-to-eat slices) and rice that's flavoured but hard - sitting in the rice cooker too long perhaps? Only the sweet chili sauce is offered; the sweet soy sauce typically included is not offered by HDD. The extra leg of Hainanese chicken can be ordered for $6.65 and it's identical, sans rice and some cucumber. === 3. SERVICE & ENVIRONMENT During COVID, there is not a place to dine-in, though it looks like bar-style seating was available at one point in time. Those with wheelchairs or baby strollers have plenty of space. The dim, hole-in-the-wall feel allows you to order essentially at a window inside and head out to enjoy your bounty. Service was fine for quick and efficient takeout, but they accept only cash. Parking is a challenge with Main Street typically busy at the meters out front and only one spot in the back, so be prepared to walk some ways to get here! read more

This places simply just slaps so hard. I met a Singaporean woman while visiting Vancouver and she recommended Hawkers. Boy am I happy she did. Everything about this restaurant is very authentic. The woman who took my order said she's from Singapore and stores like this there look just like it. So many food options that all sound wonderful. I got the Laksa and because my jaw literally dropped when I read the description. The noodles are a wonderful texture. The bowls is huge. Go give this place your money. They only take cash and debit! read more

It's cafeteria / food court style so can't comment on service. Sticky tables, poor ventilation if you're not picky about the about the ambiance and smelly clothes after. We've been here a few times food is just mediocre but acceptable. Sometimes it's a hit and miss in terms of quality and taste. So a bit of inconsistency. Nonetheless, it's economical and may satisfy ones craving for Malaysian/Singaporean foods. read more

Hawkers have been my go to place for comfort food at fantastic prices. Been coming to their little gem for many, many years. Sometimes it's a miss but many times it's a hit. You come for the food and eat & go. The place it tiny. Glad they are open during this time for take out. Had Mee Goreng (choice of spicy or non-spicy): fried wheat noodles with egg, bean sprout, onion, tomatoes, tofu, diced potatoes and yu choy. Lamb Curry Rice: steamed rice with small chunks of lamb and vegetables curry. This is probably their signature dish and the one I order the most. A little but not screaming hot spicy. Both dishes were delicious and the portions were generous. After 2 servings each there was still leftover for tomorrow. Dinner total for two was $25 not including tax and tip. read more

My go to Malay place in town. The laksa broth is full of flavor, heated to just the right temperature, fresh shrimp, along with a perfectly soaked fried tofu. This dish is like a drug - and without a doubt my cravings would come back every two weeks. The kway teow is equally as good. The "wok hei" is perfect - just the right amount of heat, soy, bursting with flavors for every chewy bite. Of course, the uncomfortable plastic chairs, green walls, and sounds of the frying wok environment adds to the authenticity of your meal. read more

A hole in the wall, must try! Here's somewhere you NEED to check out for some authentic and CHEAP Singaporean food with big portions. Hawkers Delight has been around for over a decade! [ HAIANESE CHICKEN RICE ] Perfectly cooked boneless chicken served over flavoured rice. The chicken was tendered and silky, with a rich layer of fat on top! This was by far the best haianese rice we've had, the flavour of chicken essence was in every bite, and we can't get enough of it! [ MEE GORENG ] The mee Goreng portion was huge! This is what you called "bang for a buck". We liked that it wasn't overly greasy, but still loaded with flavours! [ ROTI PRATA ] Got too excited and devoured this before taking a photo! it's roti with a side of curry. Try it for yourself, words cannot explain how quickly we devoured it. * CURRENTLY IT'S TAKE-OUT ONLY * ---------- LOCATION｜4127 Main Street, Vancouver PRICE ｜$ 。$10.99 Haianese Chicken Rice 。$10.95 Mee Goreng 。$3.00 Roti Prata read more
This place was ok. I ordered their Hainan chicken, their deep fried chicken wings, fried kuey teow, and lamb curry rice. There's nothing fancy or anything about this place and the food wasn't the best yet not the worst, it was just ok. The food to me is quite underwhelming. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

Food is not bad and a decent Singapore food joint. Regarding the service here, everything here is self serve. The ambiance here is very typical hawker style. read more
We decided to finally try this place for dinner. It was ready relatively fast. The mee goreng was spicy but not much other flavour. I've definitely had better. The hainanese chicken was not very good. For $13.50, I would expect more than 4 pieces of Chicken. The rice had no flavour so I suspect it was plain rice. This dish was a disappointment because the chicken was not smooth and tasted like regular chicken. Way overpriced for what we gots. The only dish that was decent was the fried kuey teow . It actually was quite tasty. This is the only dish I thought was good. I'm not sure I want to try any other dishes. There were more misses than hits! read more
