Located in a bustling part of Main street, I've literally walked by this place hundreds of times without going in. You can just sort of miss it, or quickly see it and put it out of mind. I finally decided to give it a shot (it always looks so busy, so it must be good) and I was pretty satisfied.

The food is extraordinarily cheap for the portions you get. In some cases you won't be able to finish it all, but at just over 5 dollars a dish, who cares. They've also got these great things called 'Vege Fritters' (SP or maybe that's just how you spell it?) which at less than a buck a pop are absolutely worth a try. They come in a vinegar-like dressing and are crispy and delicious. The mains can all be quite spicy so keep that in mind when they ask you how hot you'd like your dish.

Servicewise, the place is DIY. You get your own water and cutlery, and after ordering wait with a number until they bring you your dish. The place is really small, not exactly clean but by not means a health disaster.

I'd recommend anyone who frequents the area to give it a try, because you can't really lose at the prices, and you might be hooked. I know I'll go back.

Hawker's Delight is a very inexpensive colourful spot on main. They've been there for year's. The food is Singaporean/Malaysian/Indonesian basically South-East Asian.

The prices are super low at around $4-$6 low! Which is why your portions won't be super huge. It's still enough for lunch. If there are two people it's best to order three dishes at least. If you are a big meat eater order the satay's.

The curry puffs here rock. They are the best in the city, with a nice hint of spice. Their fried noodles and rice are yummy as well.

All of their food is competently cooked. At these price point's don't expect the world though.

For amazing laksa I do recommend Bo Laksa King.
For a more refined upscale and expensive dining experience Tamarind Hill is awesome for Malaysian food.

Hawker's Delight is best for inexpensive take-out when you are craving something spicy and flavourful and are in the main area.

Excellent value, rock bottom pricing and good food what more could you ask for?

For those who are interested, "Hawker" refers to the numerous Singaporean food stalls who compete with each other for business. In Singapore most people do not cook at home instead after work they head to the hawker food stalls for amazing food at cheap prices. The food has to be excellent to survive as a stall owner in the uber-competitive hawker environment.

This restaurant opens a bit erratically so do phone-in just to confirm they are open before visiting. I've been disappointed before as they tend to take holiday's and the restaurant is just closed during that period.

Recommended!

Went here on the recommendations of fellow food critics on Dinehere.ca. I noticed that it was busy for lunch but after a few minutes in trying to decide what to order, I just went up and ask the server what she recommends. She suggested the Laska and I forgot the other dish's name but it was 2b on the menu. Anyways it was not too bad but I expected better. The soup base sauce was made out of coconut milk which was tasty with the deep fried tofu, fish cake and shredded chicken. The noodles was good. But the time I tried the Laska....I noticed that it was the same soup base and the only difference was that it did not have any meat (ie. fish cake, shredded chicken etc). It did not taste as good as the one with meat. Overall I was satisfied but it was not something I would run back to try again. Maybe if I tried the other dishes. Solid place to have cheap eats. I need to try some other dishes next time to have a better opinion of this place.

Good for takeout. Can be satisfactorily fed with a tasty meal for very very very little. Hosts odd hours. But really really good for what you get.

Visited this little hole in the wall restaurant based on good past reviews... It was pretty much what I expected... As I walked by, uncertain about the exact address, the aromas enticed me off the sidewalk... As I walked in, it was packed with a late lunch crowd... More importantly, this little restaurant reminded me of the hawker stands I visited in Singapore... Newton Circus and Downtown... The decor (bright, colourful but utilitarian) was the first clue these people knew Hawker food... I had the Laksa, 5 satays and a drink for less than 10 dollars... An extremely good value for what I got. The Laksa was pretty much the same way I remembered it in Singapore... A nice cococunut broth mixed in with tubular noodles with bits of chicken and tofu... These guys fulfill my three requirements for continued patronage... Good, Fast (more or less) and Cheap... I'll be back...

I read about Hawker's Delight in this year's Vancouver Food & Drink Guide and figured I'd try it out. The storefront is kind of hard to see driving by and it is literally a hole in the wall - very run down decor and stark tables & chairs. But once you look beyond that, everything else is not bad. The lady that took our order at the front was super friendly and I liked how you could just order off the massive pictured menu above at the front. We tried 3 dishes - the hainanese chicken, the mee siam and laksa. All good portions & tasty. And man, you can't go wrong for less than $5 for each dish! It is a small casual neighborhood joint, so don't expect fancy dishes or decor. What you can expect is pretty yummy food just like the hawker stalls in Singapore! But I think the stalls in Singapore are way cleaner! =)

I went to check out HD on a trip to Main Street, but I think I took a left turn and ended up in Singapore. I had the lamb curry, which had a nice balance between fire and musky lambness, and my wife had the mee goreng, which was superior to the stuff they serve at Banana Leaf or Tropika. We also enjoyed a vast number of satays and some spring rolls which were all really good.

I was hoping for something a bit better in the line of drinks, but there was complementary tea, so no worries. The ambience is like a cross between a night market and a Singapore hawker centre, and the service is a similar too, (think Lau Pat Sat Festival Market). The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The prices are unbelievable.

Yum!

Not a place I would recommend taking a girl on a date but the price is right. At 4 or 5 dollars a dish, the food is downright cheap.

If you are with a friend, grab 3 dishes and roll stuffed for under 15 bucks. Try the Lamb Curry /w rice and the Mee Goreng.

My husband and I walked by this place to go to our favorite eatery. A person sitting by the window had this awesome looking dish and the place was packed. All the good signs of good food. So we decided to try it. I can smell the great aroma of spices. We snagged a table when a couple stood up to leave. We ordered spicy noodle with fishcakes. OMG. It was just delicious. Prices being so reasonable (much cheaper than eating at food court in the mall), we decided have fritters as well. They were delicious. Only thing that I wish they can serve it warmer. We watched variety of dishes being served and people devouring food. It is no doubt in our minds that we will go back.

This lil' neighborhood spot features exotic Malaysian/Singaporean cuisine at bargain prices. But don't expect a fancy dining room and they don't take interac/Visa - so bring cash.

What they do well - is cook fragrant curries with an exotic smell that emanates before you're even at the order desk. And even though they don;'t have fancy digs but do have all-u-can-drink tea and water for your enjoyment.
