I am always ranting and raving about this place and I am constantly craving their food. I came across this place a few years back and it is a staple in my monthly restaurant trolling. When you walk by you would probably not give it a second glance. Although they have recently purchased newer tables and painted the place there is nothing fance about it.

It's a cash only place, but it is as cheap as food gets in Vancouver. The portions are generous and consitant in taste and quality.

I highly suggest going here.

Went there last night with my sig other and was pleasantly surprised by the low prices. We both shared the curry chicken on rice and the mee soto (noodle soup dish).

Food: Both of the dishes were very good tasty and full of authentic flavours. My only complaint is the curry part is a tad watery but still it was good spice taste. As for the noodle soup dish, it contained pieces of moist chicken, fish pieces and lots of veggies.

Value: Both dishes were under $6 and the portions were average.

Overall: Me and my date enjoyed it so will be returning to try the nasi goreng. 8.5 out of 10

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!

Every time I've gone the food has been great and it seems like the portions have gotten bigger. They set it up so you stand in line and order at the counter and pay first, you have a seat and they bring the food out to you with little wait time. When your stuffed and happy you wander out the front door. Now that's a perfect set up for me. The food is around 5 bucks for a meal, there's lots of it, and it tastes great. The place is a little colourful cube with Singapore and Malay advertisements on the walls and a bar in front of the window to sit at. That comfortable spot to sit and look out onto the street raises the ambiance rating. It's especially nice in the summer when the windows are wide open. Anyways check it out if you haven't, I recommend the Nasi Goring.

I have heard so many great things about this place and I'm so happy that we have finally gotten the chance to try it. It's nice to know you can find a meal in Vancouver for $5!

If you've had this kind of food before, most dishes are very curry and saucy. I ordered one of the vegetarian curries and my friend ordered the chicken curry. The chicken curry was a chicken quarter in curry sauce with rice for $5. The portions were a perfect size and the dishes were very tasty - you can tell there's some great home cooking going on back there!

Again, with a place like this you cannot judge the it by it's cover. I have to warn you, the crowd knows where this secret is! It's a small place with cheap delicious food - what more can you ask for?

I finally made my way to this restaurant after numerous occasions seeing the volume of people in a relatively small dining area. I was wondering what was I missing out on? - Decided that I'd rather not feel cramped in relatively small dining quarters and not interested in waiting in a line-up for food I'm paying for.

Anyway, made my way in and the no frills service is part of the ambiance here. The food was very impressive for the prices listed and the food is relatively good. I don't believe the food is the best out there but it is somewhat competitive. The prices pretty much blow away any other competitor though.

I would recommend and I would come back to try some of the other selections.

To start, I think it's fair to say that the rating system does not do "fast foody" joints any justice since you can't rank ambience or service of a street vendor to a haute cuisine restaurant. So rating are bound to be lower for quick eats places though this does not truly reflect how good it is for it's class.

I frequent Hawker's and it's superb for it's class - quick and cheap eats. It's quality food that's tasty and very affordable. I hear it's also very authentic malay street food.

Last night I had the curry chicken and it was extraordinary. So tasty and very fulfilling. Rich curry sauce with ample thai basil and creamy coconut milk. Yum! Satays are also always good. For 2, we got appies and a each a dish for under $17. Incredible price that you just can't beat. My curry chicken with rice was only $4.75!

Ambience is what you'd expect of a quick eats joint. It's eat and go. Service is prompt and they clean the tables frequently. Tea is hot and food is fresh. Can't really beat it.

So if the ranking was only compared to other fast foody restaurants, then I give Hawkers a big 4.5/5 overall score. It's a repeat place for sure.

I have been going to Hawker's since it opened, perhaps 10 years. They make the best bowl of curry laksa in Vancouver, hands down. And at a price of about $5 the cheapest, too. I also love their Lamb Curry, as well as having the occasional Mee Goreng and Mee Pok (both noodles and pork dishes). My friend often eats the Chicken Curry, which he loves. Spring rolls are too greasy for me. Skewers are not huge but good eating. The owner/operator couple are very nice, very hard-working. The fact that they can charge so little year after year is reflected in the level of decor, which believe it or not has improved a lot over the last year. First date? Nope. Everyday eats? Hell yes!

After reading the reviews and living close by I thought I would give it a try. It was a Friday afternoon around 2 and when I walked in the place was jammed. I placed my take out order and stood and waited. I looked around and noticed how filthy the place was. But I have had some great food in not so clean places so it didn't upset me. Took what seemed ages to get my food. I ordered the curry chicken with rice and 2 spring rolls. When I got it home, I couldn't even eat the spring rolls as they tasted very "funky". The curry chicken was very oily tasting. I threw it all out and vowed never to eat there again. I cannot understand why people like this place, except for the fact that it is cheap!

I'd lost count how many times I had driven by this place. One day I just decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. My friend and I orderd, Mee Goreng, Lontong, and chicken curry with noodles. They were all yummy. We sat by the open windows on a sunny day. Ppl walking up and down at times staring at our food, car exhaust filled the air but we didn't care. It was fun and surely brought back memories of eating at food stalls in s.e asia. What we had ordered was good. Don't go if u expect fine dinning or fancy decor. It's a tiny place for no frill quick eats and good food (at least for us it was). I would definitely go back again and again until I have tried everything on the menu. One thing I told myself as i was eating that I would put down here was that - they need new chopsticks. That was my only complaint.
