This was honestly was one of the best places I've eaten at in the PNW. Decided to go here on a family vacation as it was close to where were staying and we were all wowed by the service in the food quality and portion sizes. The food portions are ginormous and many of their dishes are shareable. We ordered the Gado Gado, Laksa, Hainanese Chicken, Satay, Pork Belly, Calamari, etc. If you're ever in Vancouver Metro this is a place worth frequenting and it is a place I go to every time I visit from Seattle. read more

Finally had the chance to try Singapore Hawker! Been hearing so many good things about this place and it certainly didn't disappoint. I was lucky to get a table around 7pm on a Friday with minimal wait, as the restaurant was always quite busy. We ordered a bunch of items to share. We got the Hainan chicken (side order) which was soft and tender. The ginger scallion sauce was really flavourful and didn't overpower the taste of the chicken. As a carb dish, we ordered the "char bee noon" which I don't usually get/see at other SEA-style restaurants. Really liked this one and I like how they can adjust the salt level because usually their sauce can be quite salty. For other sides, we got the roti canai, which was as expected. The one dish that we saw every table getting was the crispy smoked pork belly (some tables even ordered 2!!), so we definitely had to try it. It was a newer taste for me; it had the taste of cha siu, but the skin was really crispy like it was siu yuk. Really good!! The vinegar-based dip acted nicely to cut out the rich and fattiness of the pork belly. Definitely a good dish to pair with something light, like Hainan rice. Service was great and food came out in a timely manner. Would be back for sure when I'm in Burnaby! read more

Based on the current reviews, I walked in with high expectations, but once again, I was disappointed. Maybe because they were take-outs which probably knocked out a star. Overall, the flavors were mostly there but the ingredients used didn't taste fresh to me. read more

The portions were massive but mediocre taste! Cheap eats good customer service but the food wasn't my cup of tea . I went to the one coquitlam years ago i remember it being memorable so i was excited but not sure what's lacking with this one. They gave free dessert at the end which is really nice of them tho ! read more

4.3 stars to me. We've been here many times. It's our go to spot for Singaporean food and Hainanese chicken rice! Most food is good, though there were a couple hits and misses on some of the dishes. The restaurant isn't super big, most tables are for 4, which is great when it's just my family. They have only a few round tables that seat about 6. While it can be a squeeze, we once managed to fit 8 people, 4 adults and 4 kids. There is often a bit of a wait with a long line, but luckily, we were able to make reservations with our bigger group. Once seated, you order from a QR code, and it's so easy to order a lot! Most of their servers were guys, all of whom were nice and efficient.   Parking can be a pain, as they have only a few dedicated spots, so be prepared for street parking in the neighborhood. The prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of the food. read more

We visited this place on a Sunday evening. We were greeted by a host right away, and put our name on the waiting list. It was around 6pm, the restaurant was relatively busy, but not overly crowded. The host reassured us it'll be quick, which was nice of him. We ordered a variety of things to try, and my favorite ones are the fried egg noodles and curry beef brisket. The egg noodles is on the sweeter side, which my daughter enjoyed it very much. The curry beef brisket on rice has a nice flavor and not spicy nor salty. The portion of each dish was decent. I have never had stir veggies with whole chilli pepper in it, which gives the flavor a nice kick. We also wanted to try the satay, but was told that they are taking it down from the menu, which means it will no longer be available. I'm a little bummed about it, but the complimentary coconut flavored dessert was very yummy! The restaurant is spacious, clean, also had Singapore landscapes decor on the walls. Parking can be an issue because it's shared with another hotpot restaurant in the same corner. When I'm in the area again, I will come back to try other dishes. read more

If you are looking for authentic Singaporean street food and your fix of Asian curry Singapore hacker is your spot. It is a first come first serve basis restaurant and it is usually packed. Once seated, though you order everything through a QR code and the menu on your phone. what I like about the menu on the phone is that every offering has an associated picture. It's really nice so you get a sense of what you're ordering and how it looks like. My colleague and I am very simple. We started out with appetizers. We ordered the roti with a dipping curry, which was phenomenal and their chicken pamdan that had a sweet-and-sour like dipping sauce also amazing. My colleague ordered a Singaporean fried rice and he loved the dish. I ordered the simply basil pork with rice and a sunny side egg and it was phenomenal. The ambience is not overly loud, but it's not quiet either since it's always busy. It's in an open area seating so if you're looking for privacy, this is not your place. All in all I would definitely come here again. read more

Got the hainanese chicken. Was very good but didnt understand why they use such a big take out box. The two top portions were used to put the dipping sauce in but there was so little sauce. Probably better to use a smaller container and 2 tiny sauce containers. The chicken itself was soft and the sauces were flavorful. The roti canai was just ok. Not very fluffy and quite thick. Parking is quite a mess here. Very little spots and it seems like many cars are fighting for a space. read more

This is the same location that used to be Deer Garden. It has been completely renovated. Its feels bigger, welcoming, and brighter. Authentic Malaysian cuisine. We ordered Singapore Laksa noodles, Nyonya fried 3 kinds (veggies), Kari Lembu (beef brisket), and two bowls of coconut rice. The laksa noodles in soup was seasoned perfectly. Just the right amount of spicy and heat. The Beef Brisket tasted terrific, but was very tough and hard to chew, Service was quick and friendly. read more

This place was very authentic and super tasty. We learned that you can make a reservation and if you don't, you should arrive right at opening. Even though the food comes out fast, there are a lot of people wanting to eat here so plan ahead. We got the mee goreng, sambal ong choy, hainan chicken and pandas chicken skewers. All were amazing!

We walked past this restaurant heading to the Mochi festival at Nikkei so we decided to come for lunch. It portrays the hawker feel since you go to the counter to order. Some tables a big so people share tables. Service was good a quick. Food was delicious. We had 4 appies, - curry fish ball with pork rind, chicken wrapped with pandan leaf, smoked pork belly and roti and 2 bigger dishes, Char Kuey Teow and beef Randang with rice. We were 5 of us and lunch came to only $14pp!!! The curry sauce was spot on, the pork belly was crispy and tasty and the best was the beef randang with big chucks of beef brisket - so tender. Yum. On top of that, we each got a small bowl of bobochacha on the house for dessert after our meals. We'll have to come again and try more dishes. read more

I love their dishes, especially the eggplant dish, but I find it a bit overpriced. I've recently learned how to make it at home, so now I usually cook it myself, but if you order it here, it's slightly over $20. I personally don't think it's worth it unless you don't know how to cook it. Their curry dishes are good too, but overall, the prices feel a bit high for what you get. Service is great, though! read more

First time trying this. Taste great. And people are nice there. The restaurant itself looks alright. Will definitely come back again.

This place fills up fast for good reasons - fast food, generous portions, quick and polite service, and fun, clean decor.

Really good Singapore/Malaysian food! Large open restaurant where you order via QR code. Very authentic taste! We had the sambal egg, roti canai, and char kway teow. They were all spot on. The Sambal egg is really a treat. Prompt service and clean and bright. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but there is a small lot beside the building that says it's for customers of the place that was there before Hawker opened. Don't be confused! This is one of our preferred Singaporean places in Vancouver. read more

Nice spot for a quick casual bite. We arrived 30 minutes before closing and were told to grab our own table and order at the counter when ready. Our order was brought to our table only minutes after we ordered. Singapore Laksa: recommend! Very flavourful broth and came with lots of protein: tofu puffs, prawns, egg, fish cakes, and fishballs. They also have a vegetarian version. Kari Lembu on rice: Malaysian curry beef brisket with rice and comes with a small bowl of veggies on the side. The curry was delicious, but the brisket was kind of hard and difficult to chew. Garlic fried squid: I recommend this appie. Lightly battered squid with a hint of spiciness. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

It's awesome that I do not have to go to Coquitlam, they have a branch in Burnaby in Sperling & Kingsway. Parking is limited, I noticed many customers ordered takeout. You are greeted the moment you walked into the door. I say that's customer service! Then they quickly offer you a menu. I actually witnessed a couple coming in, the crew greeted them warmly & invited them to sit anywhere they liked & gave them the menu. After a few minutes, the couple decided to leave the restaurant without ordering. What did the crew do? They thanked them & said "Have a nice day"! Wow!!! The place is brightly lit with a nice decor with the painted motifs of Singapore. Nice white table with blue & white chair, the aesthetics is pleasant. Process of ordering is systematic, you go to the counter & order, pay for it, find any open table you like & wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. The food is as authentic as you can get. Do check them out, their chicken rice, Laksa, Roti Canai, Sayur Lemak is legit & oh so yummylicious! read more

There aren't too many Singaporean restaurants in the tri-city, but my Singaporean friend highly recommended this one. Their Hainaness chicken was so soft and tender, could use more soup. Their Laksa was too spicy for me and the meat balls didn't taste as fresh. Large portion though! The lemon tea was pretty mid.. tasteless and extra ice. I really liked their squid. A little soft but it didn't feel heavy. The sauce pairs super well. It's sweet but light. I wish it came in a bigger amount compared to the squid they gave. Customer service was so-so... they had many people working and some were nicer than the others lol. You were told you have to pick it up on your own but I notice they try to get it for you so that made it kind of confusing. It gets busy. It was extra loud and bustling in there. Two location-- one in Burnaby and the other in Coquitlam. Don't go to the wrong location like I did if you're meeting your friend up. This is the Burnaby location, and it's spacious. A few gnats were making their way into mr food though lol. I wasn't super satisfied. But I enjoyed their portions. I would come back and try again-- esp their Hainanese chicken rice. read more

I love Singaporean food and this place was recommended from a friend of a friend so we decided to check it out. This used to be Deer Garden so I'm bit sad they're gone now! The setting is basically the same, but they took down a wall and ambiance is a lot brighter. It felt like a canteen almost, very no frills. Like a fast food restaurant, you order and pay first, and then pick up your food yourself. I got the beef brisket curry with rice and it was so good. Very tender and flavourful beef. It was so yummy. Portions aren't huge, but they're also not charging you a lot either. My friend got some fried squid and it was fried really well too. I'll definitely come back and try their Hainanese chicken and laksa in the future. read more

I went here with a friend back in August. We both ordered L1. Singapore Laksa ($14.95) and F2. Mee Goreng ($14.95) it came out in a generous portion of food. Singapore Laksa was good. Soup was very flavourful not too spicy. I ordered Mee Goreng with medium spiciness it was little too spicy for me. I should order less spiciness on my next visit. There wasn't much meat in our food mostly noodles. I found my food to be salty as well. Pretty much cafeteria kind of food in self-serve. Food quality was average. read more

Tasty Singaporean (Malaysian?) place where Deer Garden used to be. Parking is available on the side streets. The place is a bit too brightly lit, with the stark white lights. Honestly reminds me of an office more than a cafeteria, and definitely not of a hawker plaza. There's a merlion mural on one side, and a nice Singapore skyline mural on the other. So pretty. Staff were friendly and helpful. The place is cafeteria style, where they make the dishes, but the trays of food have to be manually picked up. Great for saving a tip. Can't complain. Similar to Shiok (the other Singaporean place around town that comes to mind). I had the nyonya rendang lenbu on ginger rice. Decent sized portion, and decent amount of meat. The flavoured rice goes well mixed in with the sauce. I was definitely happy. Pricing is reasonable too. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point, though that pho place next door (Pho Century) is pretty tasty too. read more

Found their flavour to me a bit lacking IMHO, which was disappointing. Also a bit difficult to enjoy your dinner when you only are provided small individual bowls when you are served food family style to share. Not that easy to scoop or serve some of the dishes with small spoons, forks, and chopsticks. Prices were reasonable for the portion size. Interior is rustic/basic. read more

This place is packed on Sunday evening, even at 5 pm. If you have more than 2 diners in your group, it could be a wait. Put your name and contact info on the wait list when it's full house. I guess south Burnaby is lacking a Malaysian/Singapore restaurant, hence the popularity. I brought a friend here to try the food. Her first time eating South East Asian food. She liked them well enough. We shared Singapore Laksa, curry spiced wings and char kway teow (fried flat rice noodles). The mild spicy char kway teow was actually spicy. I still don't understand why this place is called Singapore Hawker when the dishes are more Malaysian style food and taste. You won't get the same taste if you have these in Singapore. There are subtle differences and nuances in the taste, and generally Malaysia has better tasting food. The Singapore Laksa is more like curry Mee. It lacks the Laksa leaves and sambal and the spices which are common in the Laksa in Singapore. So while it is tasty, just think of it as curry noodle and you won't be disappointed. If you want that Laksa leaves and rempah and sambal taste, you're out of luck here. The char kway teow is more savory than sweet. It is more Penang or Malaysian char kway teow. Singapore's version has that sweet black bean sauce not found here. It is very yummy though as I liked the spice in it. And I do miss Penang char kway teow too. This will do in a pinch. Just need more wok hei flavor. The curry spiced wings are disappointing. The meat is bland, the flavors are in the skin. Skip this. Now, the ordering. The concept is similar to the coquitlam branch. But here because it is packed, the staff will tell you where to sit. They will also give you a menu. Then you go to the cashier to order and pay. Wait for your number to be called. The fried stuff take longer than the Laksa or those which do not require much cooking. Bus your own table when done. But when it's crowded, the staff will actually clear your plates once they see you're done. So the turnover of table can be fast during peak period. I seriously suggest coming here alone or with one other person if you don't want to wait a long time. or come at non peak time. Many people also ordered take out here. Limited parking by the restaurant but plenty of street parking a couple of blocks away. read more

Second visit with updated food photos. Very flavorful laksa and I really enjoyed their sweet roti as the happy ending. I may recommend ordering the sweet roti when you are almost done with your meal if you prefer the sweet roti as dessert and not served all at once. Service is prompt and ambiance is casual. They work hard to prepare dishes fast and seat the customers quickly. I think they do a good job in providing excellent service and glad they opened in Burnaby. read more

Delicious and affordable! It gets super popular so I highly recommend calling in advance to get your name on the wait list :D Felt a little murky and stuffy inside because they didn't have AC on, but we got takeout so it was all good. Roti canai ($4.95) - delicious roti! Mee Goreng ($14.95), Nasi Goreng ($14.95) - super flavourful! Both really hit the spot! Char Kuey Teow ($14.95) - I enjoyed it, but I think I prefer the one from Hawkers delight a little more Singapore Laksa ($14.95) - my favourite! Loved the coconut seafood soup base, it was so delicious and rich!! It comes with vermicelli, and I plan to ask to swap it out for egg noodles next time. Definitely will be back to try other items on the menu! So happy to see this newly opened in the neighbourhood! read more

I usually can tell when a Singapore restaurant is good based on their Char Kway Teow, & some restaurants wouldn't even have it as a dish.

This place has been on my foodie list for quite some time, so I'm glad I got to try it today! Ambience was nice- steady pace of customer flow and very bright inside. You are welcomed and directed to seat and they inform you on how to place an order. We ordered the Singapore laksa and the Malay curry beef brisket, and chicken wings. All the dishes were delicious and came out pretty quick! It's definitely a good place for those who just want a quick bite. Food was good, but the laksa and the beef dish were a bit on the sweeter side, which I did not expect as these dishes tend to be more savory and spicy. But it's a good entry dish for people new to the cuisine. Will come back to try other dishes another day and update my review. read more

Just for the birds?!? I had a take out order when it first opened and it was more than disappointing so decided to come back here for a dine in experience in hope of a better experience. This place is located on the corner of Kingsway and Sperling in Burnaby. There are a few tight butt parking spaces on the side parking lot or around the streets. Inside the restaurant is similar to a cafeteria concept; the bare basics of tables and chairs with minimal decors, order and pay at the counter, food will be brought to your table when ready. Upon entering, was guided to a table already occupied by another diner (wasn't even busy and a lot of empty tables, why a shared table? this isn't Singapore tinder?!? I am here to eat not in hope of making a new friend and feeding eat other roti?!?) Here were the food I ordered; 1. Satay skewers (chicken). I find them quite tiny in portion wise, would've been better if they were slightly more chunky. 2. Roti Canai. The roti itself was quite flaky and good but wish the curry wasn't so watery so sticks to the roti more. 3. Nyonya 3 kinds pan fried with shrimps. Were out of okras but I okay'ed it. Pretty basic noting exciting much. 4. Singapore laksa. The soup base was too sweet that it masked most of the flavours away but the fish balls were decent. Maybe a cleaner presentation would be nice too. 5. Boneless Hainanese chicken on rice. The chicken was missing that silky smoothness and the rice didn't have that nice Hainanese chicken flavour to it. Overall, I believe the second time around confirmed my first time experience here. The customer service here was quite limited besides the cashier who was quite nice and friendly. The ambiance was a very casual cafeteria style which I guess it kind of fits the "hawker" part. The food was... ummm... I would say could've been better; in terms of quantity it was okay but in terms of quality, it was off. Plus hawkers or street vendors equal to large portion of good food for a very reasonable price, I personally find the price a bit higher than what the name stands for. I personally prefer Green & Oak more... not a repeat for me anytime soon. 2 stars is fair read more

i called ahead the day before and made reservations for dinner the next day, party of eight, 6:30 pm on a saturday night. the person who answered took my info and said they would do their best to accommodate us, but there's no guarantee. this is singapore hawker's second location, conveniently located on sperling and kingsway in burnaby, with side and street parking. singapore hawker is more of a fast food, hawker style concept, meant for fast turnover, not so much for lingering after the meal. once you're seated, you place your order at the counter, pay, and wait for your number to be called. we ordered individually and a few family style dishes to share. i wasn't hungry but did enjoy the roti canai, it was flaky, not too greasy and delicious with the curry dipping sauce. dishes ordered included: malaysian curry laksa sambal green beans deep fried squid, it came lightly battered and the squid was tender char kuey teow, this was the stand out dish as you can taste the 'wok hey' hainanese chicken on rice was accompanied with two delectable sauces, i could eat the ginger and shallot oil on everything, it's that good. curry beef gado gado, malaysian salad was prepared without the egg, along with a vegetarian laksa noodle in soup and fried noodle dish that they were flexible in accommodating vegans. they do not offer liquor here, they have canned drinks, and fresh coconut (with straw for drinking only, opening is not big enough to carve out the coconut meat) credit cards are accepted. read more

Good. Nice staff. Nice place. No complaints. Would eat here again. Good hawianese chicken.

Something different from the usual Asian eateries around. The rating ranges from 1-5 (5 is the highest). Food: tasty & flavourful. Nyonya Rendang Lembu (red coconut curry beef - few pieces of beef were on the dry side - 3.75/5); Singapore Laksa (laksa noodles with tofu puffs, prawns, egg, fish cakes, & fish balls (flavourful & great value. My favourite - 5/5); roti side order (5/5 tasty) & Mee Goreng (chicken, shrimps, tofu & mixed veggies - just average (3/5) Location: Off Kingsway & Sperling. Free parking on the residential neighbourhood. Value: 4/5 Ambience: nice décor & clean Service: friendly & not a long wait for the food They open daily at 11:30 am until 8:30 pm. You need to get here right at 11:30 am for lunch otherwise you could be waiting. The routinel is as soon as you walk in, you're given a menu, order & pay at the front, given a number & pickup your order when your number is called. Takeout is available too. read more

I've been to the Singapore Hawker location in Coquitlam and glad they finally opened an outpost closer to me in Burnaby. As it was quite busy inside, we opted to order takeout and I got the Hainanese chicken on rice along with the roti canai. They have finally opened up their online ordering system and that was what we did. I thought the flavors were quite good, especially their Hainanese chicken and thought the taste was quite similar to their other location. Overall very good, and I can't wait to dine in next time! read more
