Have heard about this restaurant and finally decided to try it. We tried their popular hainanese chicken with rice and the laksa Overall the food is decent for a quick lunch. The hainanese chicken was well made and meat was tender. However the flavor was lacking. But definitely a good deal for the price On the other hand, the laksa was on the pricey side. The laksa broth was a bit too sour and the ingredients were very simple for the given price Overall, the food was alright for a quick simple lunch read more

We did not expect the restaurant is so dated and simple when we walked in. We were greeted promptly to be seated. Two pages menu and we ordered three dishes. The free range chicken and chicken fat rice are delicious. The one person portion chicken only has the chicken breast (white meat). I can image the chicken thigh would be even more flavourful. The roti with curry beef is the best dish. Insanely tasty. The prawn fried noodles are quite salty. They have many takeout orders and too busy to refill our tea/water. If you are looking for tasty food and don't care much about the service, atmosphere and ambience, this is the place! read more

Loved this unassuming Singaporean restaurant as my first meal of 2025. Probably one of the best hainanese chickens I've had in Canada, and the beef curry was super tender. I prefer my roti to be a bit more flakey but nevertheless delicious. Seating is very basic which I don't mind. Service was good with the waiters coming to refill our hot tea which was perfect for a cold day. Highly recommend! read more

Maybe I'm biased but this is the best hainan chicken rice place I've ever had so far. WE DONT HAVE THIS TYPE OF HAINAN CHICKEN IN CALIFORNIA!! We don't even have decent roti.. like savoy, cluck 2 go, side chick, green zone, red kitchen, Ipoh kopatiam and many other places in sgv have no competition with this Hainan chicken. It's not even close.. The chicken itself was so dam tender.. soaked in sweet soy sauce + mixture of sesame oil. The green onion sauce and sweet & sour sauce was okay but the dam Hainan rice and roti were really spot on too.. rice was cooked perfectl. Fluffy, every grain separated, seasoned well. Roti was hella crispy and airy(I should've gotten it with the curry sauce). The service is your typically Chinese restaurant lmao but the food was good. read more

I love singaporean and malaysian food. Also love singaporean hainanese chicken rice. This place does not have these items in that way. Its more of a heavy skew towards cantonese - which is fine if thats what you're looking for, but its not what I want. We ordered: free-range hainan chicken rice - the chicken was pretty good, but traditionally this should be boneless and they serve it bone-in for some pieces. It was also heavy on skin, and the meat was thin - likely a result of the free-range chicken. But the chicken was seasoned well, the rice was good, the side of chicken broth was good. They gave traditional canto ginger scallion sauce - nothing like what you get in singapore. And what seems like a homemade chili vinegar sauce - very watery, very sour, virtually no heat or flavour otherwise. Disappointing chili sauce. 3.5/5. Satay skewers - beef, chicken, pork - avoid them all. This was just a disaster. there was NO CHAR on any skewer - how is this bbq? The chicken was at least tender but seriously, no char? it tasted like it was just barely cooked on a frying pan. The beef and pork were cut WAY too thick and were WAY too tough to eat. The peanut sauce was watery and bland. If youve been to Singapore's Satay street at night, you will be utterly disappointed and feel kind of ripped off for what theyre serving here. Satay is 1/5 - they get a point because at least its cooked. Stirfried veg - we got pea tips with garlic - tastes like any other version of this at any canto place - 4/5. Fried tofu with peanut sauce - they just slathered the satay peanut sauce (still watery and bland) onto battered fried tofu with bean sprouts. Think Gado Gado with only bean sprouts and tofu with too much batter - 2.5/5. Laksa - disappointing. Very watered-down and bland. Almost like a canto style curry but even more watered down. 2.5/5. free parking in the lot out front. The ppl working there are friendly. The place is super old school and kind of dingy but fine. I would not come back here - if you want a more authentic malaysian/singaporean experience, this is NOT it. You may like it if you want canto food with some malaysian inspiration. Pricing is reasonable though. read more

Food: Ordered the 1/2 order of free range Hainan chicken. The green onion sauce was flavorful. Probably the best part of the meal. The chicken was somewhat tender but unfortunately slender. Half of the plate was cartilage, skin, and bone. If you're hungry, you should probably order different dishes (or go elsewhere) Service: Terrible. Staff and owner were unfriendly and abrupt the second I walked in the door. It's Canadian Debit card or cash only. They do accept USD, but it's a trap. Don't do it. Ambiance: Typical hole-in-the-wall-type place. Floor is full of dirty napkins. Mostly families, though I did see one couple on a date. It wasn't going well. read more

First time at Prata Man. Ordered takeaway via google. Don't. Upcharge and service fees that wasn't mentioned. Just call them, they will update you on what's available and what's not ( I wanted free range chicken and they sold out already when I paid for Free Range on the App) They close at 8pm most days. I rolled in for pickup at 730pm. Ordered Half Chicken (came with rice), fish balls with fish maw in curry, soup and another order of rice (my mistake). Focusing on the food. Half chicken was done well. I like how there is a bit of brine to keep the chicken moist. Overall mild tasting and fresh. Overall, if when eating Haianese Style, one must order free range. It's a texture thing and more authentic*. Sauce: I really enjoyed the vinegar red chilli sauce. The green onion ginger sauce was done great too Ginger "Lai Tong" I like how this was an add on to round the meal. It's light and pairs nicely with the meal Curry Fish Balls and Fish Maw I like the texture and chosen density/quality of the fish maw. The fish ball is ok. The curry is broth like and too light for my preference. I'd give Prata Man another go. It was a packed house when picking up. Staff feels passionate about their craft and they speak Cantonese too. read more

Such delicious and affordable food here! Came here around 5pm on a sunday and it wasnt too busy. When we were leaving, it started getting quite packed! - single order hainanese chicken with rice ($12): the hainanese chicken was so flavourful and went really well with the rice! - roti with curry sauce ($7): flakey and fresh roti, and the curry sauce was so delicious! - laksa ($14): was such a large bowl and full of toppings, they do serve it with vermicelli and maybe I'll see if they have egg noodles for next time! Love finding gems like this! read more

First time here - ordered the full order of Free range Hainanese chicken- It was meant to come with 5 bowls of rice - however there was only three of us - service team didn't bother asking us if we wanted the other two bowls as advertised. It also came with bowls of soup - you would assume it was some sort of chicken soup? - but i wasn't able to determine if it was because it was so heavily peppered that it tasted spicy. The chicken was moist , soft and tasted pretty fresh - seemed like a fair size - but not entirely sure if it would actually feed a party of 5 as we left the plate empty as a party of 3. The rice was fine for the other party members , however it tasted underwhelming for myself - could be seasoned better - The onion sauce didn't do much for me - seemed like just oil to make the chicken smoother - but didn't actually provide a flavor/taste enhancement. The place is small and provides a lot of takeout - didn't really notice any music here - so quiet enough to have a conversation over your meal. Probably better Hainanese chicken options out there - but if in the area, it's worth a shot. read more

Haven't been here for a very long time. It was nice to eat their Hainanese chicken rice again. We opted for the free range chicken. We also had the laksa. For those who are not into red chili oil in their laksa, this is the one for you. Over the holidays last year, we had some satay from Prata-man at a house party. It was satisfying and the sauce was delicious. Need to remember to make room for the roti next time read more

This place is our go to place for Hainanese Chicken. The chef have mastered the art of making this simple yet challenging dish. It looks like a simple boiled chicken but achieving the flavour, right texture is no simple feat. Love it. And what's even better, it's boneless! *Extra sauces cost $1 each for the green onion oil and the spicy sauce. Also tried the Beef Rendang with Roti tonight. Beef was tender and roti was remarkable flaky and crispy. Very satisfied tummy tonight read more

Their USD to CAD conversion rate is a rip off, and it's applied to the full cash amount you give them, NOT the amount of the bill. We basically had to spend 57CAD on a 26CAD bill. Owner was super rude and wouldn't even let us go to the ATM even though it was 3 minutes away. Huge ripoff. Hainan chicken decent but not the best I've had. If you want to eat here make sure you have Canadian debit or CAD. read more

So this is Singaporean Cantonese food. The flavors were ok, the satay was my favorite. The prata could have been thinner and laksa missing some coconut milk. The curry was tasty but more Cantonese than Singaporean. Not sure that I would come back. This place is cash and Canadian debit cards only so be prepared. read more

Been driving past this place forever, and as a confirmed Singapore food fan, my curiosity finally got the better of me. Lovely staff, and a cool bare bones no frill atmosphere. The food, at least for me, was a mixed bag. Tasty roti canai with a quite good curry sauce. The Hainan chicken wasn't as juicy and tender as others in town (and In Singapore!), and the accompanying rice was definitely missing that "cooked in chicken fat and broth" flavour that is such an important part of this dish. This dish is traditionally accompanied by a pair of sauces, usually a dark sweet soy and spicy chili. Here, they lean towards Cantonese with a ginger green onion sauce and a vinegar based chili with not much spice to it. Also had the laksa, which was a bit of a disappointment. If it was just billed as a noodle soup, k would have been okay with it, but the broth lacked complexity and funk from belacan and dried shrimp, and there was not a rau ram leaf in sight. Just a thin curry broth that was a pale initial of the best laksas I've had here and in Singapore. read more

I never even know that chicken could taste like this, I'm actually so astounded at how good the Hainanese chicken was here. While the beef curry was good and the naan was crispy and flavorful, the chicken definitely was my favorite. It felt so refreshing eating this succulent chicken meat and I could feel the protein coursing through my veins. Did you know that chicken is the best protein and it's considerably healthier than red meat? Good stuff. read more

Prata Man Restaurant - Chicken - Singaporean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

See all

Prata Man is an old-school, hole-in-the-wall restaurant offering classic Singaporean dishes like Hainanese chicken rice, which featured a plate of chilled poached chicken in soy sauce, served with a side of warm chicken broth, ginger-scallion sauce, and sweet chili sauce, along with yellow rice cooked in the broth of the chicken. My favorite part was the ginger-scallion sauce, which added a nice salty flavor to the mild chicken. I also had the Roti Prata with Curry Beef, a stew made of chunks of beef and potatoes in an oily curry broth. The beef chunks were rather sinewy and tough, but the roti bread was perfectly puffy, flaky, and chewy, and perfect for dipping into the mildly spiced curry sauce. read more

Definitely another good place to get malaysian food. Cheap and very good. Laksa was very good.

Definitely a recommended place for you to try out and for it to be a comfort restaurant. read more

Our first meal at Vancouver, a city full of gourmet. This restaurant features in singaporean cuisine. Hainanese chicken is there signature and you can choose from regular or free range chicken in different size, whole, half or single order. The chicken is tender and the best part of hainanese chicken is their crystal skin with spring onion sauce. Curry beef is a must try at this place. The owner recommend us a combo with a roti and curry beef. The smell of butter roti is so good and the flank of beef is soft with fat, when you have it, it will melt in your mouth! Also, we ordered the Bak Kut Teh here, they provide with a malaysian flavor with chopped garlic and mix of herb and pepper. Overall it is great but a little bit sweet with the herb. Highly recommend to try here!!! read more

I was recommended to try this restaurant's Hainanese Chicken so I stopped by and ordered their Free Range Hainanese Chicken. Everything was nicely packed and came out quickly. They provide 2 boxes of rice (4-5 portions worth) with the whole hainanese chicken order, as well as two types of sauce (a ginger, green onion sauce and a vinegary tingy chilli sauce). The chicken was very tender and crunchy, especially the skin. It also had a slight savoury flavour, and a faint but subtle "chicken flavour" (that free range chicken has) which was brought out by the proper poached cooking method. These made the chicken really good on its own. The chicken was more flavourful with either sauces and the sauces were different from each other, but both complemented the chicken. The rice was really good on its own or with the chicken as it had flavour from being cooked in chicken fat/broth. read more

So ordered take out on father's day with a craving for Hainan chicken rice. Called at 4p and was told not available for pick up until 6p. Only free range chicken available and regular was sold out. Price was ok for a half chicken and 3 portion rice... but the portion seems small. Very flavorful. read more

ordered items: beef rendang, half order hainese chicken. the restaurant gives up to 3 bowls of rice for each person for the haianese chicken. the inside has a very "housewarming" feel, and the service isn't the best but the taste of the food makes up for it. the beef is tender and juicy, and the chicken also is probably one of the best haianese chicken in vancouver (beating mamalee). the ginger soup was tasty, and the roti which isn't in the picture is crispy flaky and buttery - perfect for dipping in the rendang :) read more

Prata Man Restaurant - Singaporean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I could I would give this place 4.5 stars. It's definitely a 'hole in a wall's type of place and cash only! But the food that you get is authentic and decently priced. They have a small menu and they are known for their Hainanese chicken (quality over variety). I have tried their hainanese chicken and it is flavourful, juicy and the green onion/ginger sauce is delish. To be honest this is what Potluck Hawker Eatery should be/wish it could be. The portions are actually decent size and the prices are reasonable. Prata-Man just doesn't have the glitz and the glamour of Social Media and influencers flocking to it. If you liked or even tried Potluck, you must try this place. You would be paying less and getting more for your buck. Also support a small business that has been in Richmond for over 15 years! read more

Prata Man Restaurant - Don't mind the clutter . We got one serving of the laska, seafood migoreng, roti, pratabread and dipping curry - Singaporean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Came here for a much needed revisit with a few friends and we ordered the half hainanaese chicken with 3 bowls of rice and 3 bowls of soup. For $20, this was a delicious meal of soft and tender chicken and tasty rice! The only complaint is that the half a chicken seemed small but I was happy that it came with white meat and dark meat. Ontop of that, we got their roti with curry sauce. Their roti is very good staying light and flaky without being too oily! The curry sauce is also not too watery and had a good flavour to it! Service was also extremely courteous, friendly and efficient! The food comes really quickly and they are all sweet women that kindly explain the menu if needed! Overall, I would return anytime for some of that chicken! read more

One of my favourite spots in town for Singaporean food. Nothing screams authenticity more than a hole in the wall hidden gem that serves good Hainanese chicken and curry beef. While this isn't the best Singaporean food I've ever had, I'd say they do a solid job that keeps me coming back. I'd also recommend ordering take out as this location is a bit run down or more appropriate for a quick meal. [Items Tried] *MUST TRY* Free Range Hainanese Chicken (5/5) - $20 Taste: The chicken is their most popular dish at Prataman. I would recommend the free range over the normal Hainanese chicken as it has more of a flavourful chicken taste with a darker yellow skin. I really enjoy their chicken because the meat is always fresh and the soya sauce seasoning of the chicken seeps into the meat itself. We ordered half the chicken which was served with two bowls of soup, two bowls of rice, and green onion ginger oil & chili sauce on the side. Everything pairs together deliciously in this combo. The soup was a tad salty. Portion Size: Good for 2-3 people to share. *MUST TRY* Curry Beef (S) (4/5) - $12 Taste: Whenever I eat Hainanese chicken, I always have to order curry along with it - the reason for this is curry sauce drizzled on top of the Hainanese chicken oil rice is 100% perfection - trust me, you'll have to give it a try. The curry tastes good, I would have liked the sauce to be a tad bit thicker. The beef on the other hand was well flavoured and tender and just the right ratio between fattiness and meat. Portion Size: Good for 2 people to share [Value for Money] I think of Singaporean food synonymously with Prata Man. The reason why is because they provide really good, homey meals at a reasonable price point and as a result, I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

If you know, you know that this place has been here for a VERY VERY long time. I want to say, it's been here since I was a child. I remember coming here on my first time when I was a kid. I still remember that first day, sitting down with my family when I was maybe 6 years old. This fully has that mom & pop feel with FANTASTIC food. This place has one of the best Singaporean food within the Lower Mainland. And on top of that, they serve one of the BEST Hainanese chicken in town. Yes it is a cash only venue, but to be honest, 80% of restaurants in Richmond are cash only anyways, so I am not surprised at all. I would always come visit here if I am craving for some of that Roti, BBQ Satay and that half Hainanese chicken. I would say they are a pretty solid place with good memories and fantastic food. Love their take out style of preparing food and will always come drop by for some food. Will recommend to my friends everyone looking for a good hole in a wall with mom & pop vibes. read more

Cheap Singaporean-Chinese Restaurant in Richmond. Have always wanted to check and try this place out, but they were never open on the day(s) that my family and I wanted to check out and eat there. Finally, we went on a Sunday evening and they were open! Yay! We ordered the Mee Goreng, Hainanese Chicken with rice, and one order of the Roti. They were all very delicious. The Mee Goreng ($6.50) was a good portion. Good flavours, a little on the greasy side, but overall, very good. Would highly recommend anyone wanting Singaporean Mee Goreng, to try it here at Prata Man. The Hainanese Chicken was also very good. The chicken itself was tender, and flavourable. They provided soup with a little big of ginger, asw well as the sauce for the chicken. If you're into Hainanese chicken, then this place does it pretty good too. Check it out. The Roti wasn't anyting special. It's pretty much the same as any other place that serves Roti Canai with the sauce. They do serve it in larger portions however here, or at least larger than most other places we've tried where they've served Roti Canai at. The ambiance isn't anything special to write home about. Pretty plain, and they owner(s) did not put any thought into the ambiance at all. The price is pretty good. If you want a good deal on the food, Prata Man is a good place to start for that. The Mee Goreng was $6.50, the Hainanese Chicken was on the pricier side at $17 for a half order, or free range option is $18. The Roti with Curry Sauce was $5.50. The price is decent for a restaurant like this. Not bad. Service was okay. They had 1-2 waitresses that served the entire restaurant. If they were busy (lots of customers) could be hard to get their attention, but when we went, the service was fine. Location wise. It will be "close" to the future Captsan Canada Line Skytrain station. Walking would be, maybe 10-15 min from where the station is supposed to be at (closer to No. 3 Road). But in and around the area, the next closest station would be Bridgeport Station, and that is even further away. So transit in terms of Skytrain not really an option at the moment. You can take a bus here, but I'm not sure how frequent the bus service is. Most convenient way to get here is to drive. There is a lot of parking available, because Prata Man does share their parking in a complex with other businesses. In short. We recommend Prata Man to try!

Prata Man Restaurant - Hainan chicken, roti with curry - Singaporean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Soft, smooth, and juicy chicken? YES PLEASE! Prata-man which has been known for their delicious hainanese chicken definitely lived up to it's reputation! We ordered roti and half a hainanese chicken which came with 3 bowls of rice and soup. Not only was the chicken very juicy and soft, the rice it came with was also filled with flavor and super yummy! The roti was very crispy, flaky, and delicious as well. The staff were incredibly friendly and the restaurant gave off a family feel with its decor and setting. It almost feels like it's your aunt serving you food. Everything came out super quick too. This restaurant gets super busy! If you don't want to stand in line for a spot, consider ordering take out. They have a take out menu that offers items for a cheaper price! Overall would definitely return for when I have those hainanese chicken cravings! read more

This place brings back memories for me so my visits are always nostalgic and enjoyable. Prata Man is all about simplicity - no fancy decor, just straight up good Hainanese Chicken at a good price paired with friendly service. My family and I felt very welcome here and looking around the restaurant, we can tell everyone dining there was enjoying their meal. We will definitely return. From the menu, I love the hainanese chicken, hainanese rice and satay skewers the most! I always know I can rely on getting a no fuss delicious meal. Not only that, but it's quite photogenic, too! Let's face it, this place is a bit worn down and cluttered and therefore may not have the best ambiance for a date but it sure is great for family lunches and dinners because everyone leaves happy, including your wallet. A little tip for you: Prata Man is in a complex with many other restaurants. Expect a busy parking lot during lunch or dinner hours, so perhaps try to go a little later to miss the rush. read more

Thesis statement: Richmond has a lot of solid Asian eats, but I keep coming here because their quality is always consistent and their price is very fair. This is not a place to go for their ambience, but the customer service is always friendly, even on the phone when reserving a table or chicken (more on that later). Always get their Hainanese chicken! There a few staples for me, the first is their milk tea. It has a strong coconut milk flavour and is silky smooth. I recommend the cold version. Their curry beef rendang with roti is also a must-have. The brisket is super tender, the curry is more watery than your typical Indian curry and is flavourful without a lot of heat, and it goes great with the (seemingly) made-to-order roti. I usually dip the roti into the curry to soap up. The star of this restaurant is their Hainanese chicken. Protip: If you want their free-range chicken version of this, be sure to call ahead and reserve either a half or whole chicken. The ladies on the phone are super nice about reservations. The half chicken comes with 3 bowls of rice, whole comes with 5. The chicken is deboned and very tender, goes great with the green onion sauce and sweet and sour sauce. The rice is chicken oil rice and is full of flavour too, made with just the right amount of water. I could eat this all the time. If you're just by yourself, try the one-portion chicken. I'll be back for more to try the rest of their menu, but I just end up getting the same things again and again :) read more

This business has changed once again. The delicious chicken and soup are no longer the same. That little piece of carrot you would once expect to see in your soup is no longer there. The taste has changed and the ginger onion sauce is lacking msg or something. The chicken seemed a little more tough than usual and the rice was chewy. I will try it again incase this was an off day read more
