The Veggie Fritters were surreal - order at least two. Also tried the Laksa and loved it. We did very little talking during the meal, eating with a ravenous efficiency and speed that might have done us damage. You will sweat like hot yoga.

Very traditional Singapore Malaysian place~ food quality was not as good as expected but it's still above average :p picky tongue I got! If you miss Malay food~ come here hehe

I came back here just for Hainanese Chicken Rice, but thought of trying something new so I got Prawn Noodle($7.50). Like other noodle dishes here the portion was big, had plentiful of toppings like fish cake, prawn, pork slices and some veggies. It also had something crispy bits on top. It was flavorful, tasty and delicious. However it's kind of spicy and has little bit of jalapeno peppers in... more

Food is good!
Price is very affordable!
Place is small.
Service is pretty much self serve.
Ignorance is a bliss, the next time you eat at Hawkers, if The staff brings you the food or anyone else's, their thumb is usually inside the plate or bowl right by the food you are about to eat. Yes, they wear rubber gloves however I don't ever see them change it or wash it even though the grab a dirty... more

This is where to get the real authentic Singaporean food(- spiciness) . I lived in Singapore for over 5+ years so I can guarantee that this is the real Singaporean food.
I came here with my friends and shared mee goreng, lamb curry, laksa, roti, chicken curry and chicken rice......the food is really good. Great portion, great food, cheap(in Vancouver standard) and very authentic.

My favorite... more

It's rare to find hole in the walls like this place. Cash only and you order at the counter before sitting down. The food is authentically Singaporean. How do I know that? I don't know. But it sounded good. I had ordered the chicken curry dish and some of those wonderful veggie fritters. They were so good. I'll be back to try other items.

A taste of Singapore in Vancouver.

You can find many Singaporean dishes here and at very reasonable prices. The food falls a little short of how the authentic dishes would taste in Singapore but who can complain when you're so far away from home.

I had the Mee Rebus and spring rolls and they were tasty. Mee Goreng seems to be fairly popular (overheard many people ordering) but I did not get a... more

I've only had a few items here, and all were tasty, but damn I love those cheap and greasy vegetable fritters. They're 2 for a dollar and come with a sweet & vinegar dipping sauce.

If you've had Filipino food, these are like okoy, but without the shrimp. And okoy are a complete pain in the neck to make, so these are a very good substitute for when you are craving them but don't want to go... more

Been coming here for awhile now and I must say, decent food at decent prices.
Prices has gone up a bit though I believe but still pretty decently priced.
Food is good and has a lot of volume.
Interior is small and cramped so I always get take away.
Definitely a must try if you are in the area.

I spent a summer in Singapore a few years ago, and my mouth still drools at the memory of the food I discovered at hawker centres across the city (country? I never know which word to use when). I've tried the Singaporean staples at restaurants in Seattle, and while the food has been pretty decent the price point has been proof that this is a westernised version of the food.

Then I came here.... more

So my friend recommended this place to me, stating that it was one of her favourite places for comfort food. Now that I have visited, I can definitely vouch for that! Although it looks like the typical hole in the wall restaurant from the outside, the synergy of the simplistic decor and and complete view of the kitchen from the till counter creates a unusually pleasant atmosphere This place... more

Oh dayum! Malaysian food is my SH*T!!!!!

I love hole in the wall joints like this one! big portions, greasy, big flavor, greasy, stick to your ribs, greasy, grimy atmosphere.!! my kind of joint!

lets start of with the staples. Hainanese chicken n rice= Bomb
Laksa = spicy bomb
Mee Goreng= spicy fish saucy goodness
Lamn curry rice= amazing

OK seriously... this is why I'm fat! how can i eat... more

Cheap and tasty! It's not really a sit down and relax sort of place, so it's best to grab your food to go. Don't forget to bring cash!

This is sad for me because I had extremely high hopes for Hawkers before trying it out. I might have gone on a bad night, so hopefully I have a chance to change my mind.

Nasi Goreng - lacked a lot of flavor and tasted very salty
Mee Goreng - not bad, but wasn't anything special.
Laksa- Favorite entree, but overall just ok.
Veggie Fritters- delicious and super cheap!

On the positive side, the... more

Always satisfying, love the authentic street-food vendor feel of the place - its what I imagine all genuine south Asian restaurants to be like. Food is fresh and hot out of the tiny kitchen - service is quick, portions are huge, flavor is totally bang on. I always get the noodle options since I'm a noodle poodle but the rice dishes look good too! Hawkers is a great place to grab a hearty meal... more

Good Malaysian food is tough for me to find back home so when my Vancouver buddy told me about Hawker's Delight, I was all over it. Seriously, this place is hole in the wall GOLD.

Almost everything is $6-7 per dish, which I didn't know exists these days. The perfect place to go for homemade Malaysian and Singaporean deliciousness. As you would expect, the décor is minimal and you have to grab... more

Great hole in the wall for cheap, greasy and authentic Singaporean food. Perhaps too greasy for some! Anyways, it's always packed. I like the mee rebus and mee siam. The veggie fritters they have at the counter are delicious, $1.50 for fritters that are fresher than ones I've paid $7 for at fancier Malaysian restaurants.

Just be aware that paying $6 for your whole meal doesn't buy you fancy... more

This place used to have good quality cheap and filling food. But not anymore... The cashier lady was rude. She forgot one of our orders eventhough i had asked to make sure but she just rolled her eyes at me. Sure enough it was missed. I was really disappointed with the veggie fritters. It tasted very doughy and I found eating raw dough in the center.

I hit Hawkers one very rainy Friday evening, after my flite into YVR was delayed and I "lost" my car in the long term parking.

When i arrived I was drenched, cold, headachy, and feeling p@!%!d off. I needed food and fast. A steaming bowl of Laksa and two veggie fritters quickly arrived which I slurped down while pretending I was in an extra in Blade Runner watching people scurrying by in the... more

Have been dying to try this place for years and finally got to and was a bit disappointed.
I would give this place 2 1/2 stars ... but I can't so it's a 2 star instead of 3.
The vegetable spring rolls were great at $1.70 for 2. The vegetable fritter were great too and they were $1.00 for 2 large balls ... delicious with the sauce it came with.
There were six of us. Ordered 5 dishes with a... more

good food reasonable price!!!!!! expect self service!!!!

I've been going here for 10 years, and they're my favorite take out place in the city. Affordable and awesome food, there's nowhere else in the city where you can get such large portions for such an amazing price. My favorites are the Mee Goreng, Vegetable Curry, and Veggie Fritters, delicious!

This is another great local spot to grab a bite to take home. The inside of the restaurant is quite small and holds no real atmosphere.
Solution: Get it to go.
The aroma in my car on the way home was amazing.
There Gado Gado was swimming in peanut sauce, the Nasi Gorang was just what I wanted and the curried chicken had two nice big whole pieces of chicken in lots of yummy curry sauce to coat... more

Haven't had Malaysian/indo food for a while so need to have my fix. What a great choice this was for a fast lunch (since I was on a time crunch).

I knew exactly what I wanted before I looked at the menu, since it's what I always get.

Laksa & hainanese chicken rice.

I felt that the laksa wasn't as spicy as I'm used to, however the coconuttiness of it was absolutely delightful.

No complaints... more

This is a hole in the wall that you have to try. The food is great and very cheap but still fast and high quality

In asia Hawkers means open-air complexes in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong housing many stalls that sell a variety of inexpensive food. These are places with good cheap fast food but and Hawkers Delight on Main lives up to the traditional Hawkers in Asia.

Each dish is under 10... more

Literally a hole-in-the-wall, and a good place for comfort food on a rainy day.

I ordered the Gado Gado for $6.50 not including tax. It was supposed to be mixed vegetables, potatoes, and tofu with peanut sauce but there was BARELY ANY TOFU! Should've been described as 'minced' tofu. The peanut sauce was a let down!! Watery, bland. And the portion size...gahh I was expecting it to be huge but I... more

Food: 5/5
Service: 3/5
Ambiance 5/5 (it has that authentic hawker feel)
Value: 5/5

Cheap, authentic Singaporean food. Reminiscent of a hawker center back in Singapore (with the large sign, self service, and the less than perfect cleanliness). There aren't many places I can satisfy both my stomach and my taste buds for $10, but this place is one of them. For those that can't afford to go to... more

Went there today and they were closed from the 17th August until September 8th. Wasted out trip there. Very disappointed. They should put a note here. So everyone take note.

Looks can be deceiving. This little restaurant packs a flavorful punch in food and leaves you fully satisfied. You can walk or drive by so easily without ever knowing the place ever existed. A defi

One of my highschool girlfriends took me here on a date once, it was rad. Hawkers is an underground Vancouver staple. If you know Vancouver you'll know about this place. There aren' too many places where quantity meets quality AND for the right price -- Hawkers is one of them.

If you're into Malaysian, you best go out of your way a little to get some of chow at Hawkers. End of story.

when i die bury me in a pile of the vegetable fritters

The food was fresh, hot and spicy! There were several of us, so I got to try a few of the dishes and they were all awesome! They have several vegetarian options, so I'm grateful for that!

It's a hole-in-the-wall type place, cash only and limited seating, but worth it! This was my first visit here - and won't be my last!

The price rose up a bit in these years: some from 4.80 to 6.80, but still, reasonable price and delicious food.

Super friendly service!
Great prices!
Really good food.
We love the prawn noodle soup
And the mee go rang!
And the fritters are a nice touch as well.
A favorite gem on main st

I've been coming here for the past couple of years. Food is fairly good. Don't expect much service as you have to head to the front to order and they'll bring the food to you. It's a small place so any more than 4 people and you'll have to sometimes wait for a table to clear (esp during rush hours).

Price is reasonable and ranges between $6.25 and about $6.80. There is the lamb dish that is... more

More than satisfied with our meal!! Went in and was overwhelmed by the place. It was packed on a Thursday night 7:30pm to be exact. People in line.. people standing up waiting for their take outs. I'm not very familiar with Malaysian food, so I ordered Hainanese Chicken to be on the safe side. My fiancé ended up getting the same and so we initially ordered that with 1 order of veg fritters and... more

I've went to Singapore before so to find out that this was Singaporean food, I was even more intrigued by this place. I realized that the name Hawkers Delight actually is derived from the Hawker centres found throughout Singapore (something I learned when I traveled there). Hawker centres are places in the city that have many various good eateries situated in one place for a very affordable... more

This place is know for their cheap price and large portions. Not the best Malay food I ever had but still pretty good. The place is pretty run down and need a bit of reno. I would give it another star if the food was spicier and tastier. I tried their Laksa but it was too sweet for my liking. I also tried their Char Kuey Teow. I thought it was soup noodle but was more like mee goreng like. I... more

Very tasty food, reminded me of being back in Malaysia. The hainanese chicken rice was a little out of proportion for rice:chicken but overall really good. Will definitely go back!

Good food for a great price. A change of pace and an interesting menu.. A friend introduced me to it years ago and I keep coming back when I am in the neigbourhood Stop in and try it you just might like it !!!!

Hawker's is the BOMB. Always busy , always packed .. this is one of the few places in the city where you can still get a meal that fills you up with good food for under ten bucks .. absolutely amazing. Perhaps a little on the greasy side for some dishes but get your lazy a@s out for a jog or something .. this is Vancouver after all .. enjoy it.

The amount of local traffic alone should prove... more

This place is right around the corner from my house and I eat here often. It's fast, super cheap and yummy. I usually get the Mee Siam (with peanut gravy)... it's delicious! It's enough for two meals but I will eat it in one sitting if no one stops me.

Nasi goreng and veggie fritters are two of my favourite things in Vancouver. And the price is amazing. I would recommend takeout, the room is pretty cramped.
I miss the pork stays they used to have on the menu.

A great no frills joint. (I normally just grab take out here . ) Delicious authentic Singaporean/Malay food.

Dishes are about 8 dollars each. Large generous portions

I would recommend the gado gado and lamb curry.

This place is probably better than most for Singaporean/Malaysian fare at this value but it's still a far cry from the real thing. Was here probably a year or two ago and remember being wowed by the laksa. This time around, it was just ok. Creamy but, not particularly flavorful or spicy. When asked for sambal belachan, the kitchen staff didn't know what it was.

I've not seen soto ayam on the... more

This place sells itself on value. You can get a full meal here for less than $6. Not alot of places in Vancouver allow you to walk out with a full plate of rice or noodles with meat and veggies for less that 6 bucks.

For the price, i think you get some great deals here. The Hainanese chicken rice comes with plenty of rice and a good amount of chicken. Both are flavored nicely.

I also had the... more

Cheap, fast, and delicious. I typically stick to laksa since that's what I tend to crave on a cold, rainy day. You must get the fritters too, but make sure they're hot and fresh. SO addictive. One of my favorite hole-in-the-walls. Definitely stop by for a quick lunch or snack.

I wish they open Sunday too. That's why 4 stars. Their laksa uses wheat noodle not a rice noodle but so tasty. The combination with seafood broth and coconut milk are awesome.
