Top Singaporean restaurants in Burnaby, Canada

Prices are reasonable. Food came out fast. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Roti Canal is a must try. Bread is flavourful and tasty. We also had laksa, hainanese chicken, gado gado, char kuey teow, and sambal egg, but we feel like they are missing flavors and don't fit our taste bud.

R6 ON THE MENU. 辣死你妈。
never been to Singapore so I don't know the authentic taste of this dish, but this one i had today was pretty blank in taste.

The fried chicken had no taste at all.

Food was tasty and place was quite busy. Service was good but limited. It’s more like a fast food joint where you order and pay first. Then they call your number and you go up and grab your tray of food.

Ordered the laksa here and it didn't disappoint! Had the spice to it and very flavourful. The Roti was good,Reasonable prices too.

Surprised to find super delicious and genuinely authentic Singaporean food in a food court! The staff were very helpful with making recommendations, and the pictures and descriptions made it easy to figure out what to get. Definitely will be back to work my way through the rest of the menu!

My friend introduced me this place as I ‘d like to find real Singaporean cuisine. I am surprised as my dish was tasty and felt exactly similar to what I tried before when I visited Singapore. I tried Lasi Lemak at this kiosk. The fried chicken was crispy outside, juicy inside. If you want to find a genuine Singaporean taste, you won’t let it down when stopping by this kiosk. Definitely want to bring my friend here again. Good job, Shiok Express

Cafeteria quality food for restaurant pricing. You order at the front, you get a ticket with a number on it. Once your number is alerted, you will have to go and pick up from the side counter. Customer service was fine. The beef was super dry. I would not recommend this dish. Reading previous reviews, this seems to be a reoccurring theme with the beef. The roti was good and well done. The noods are ok, but I’ve had better at green and oak. I will come back to try the chicken rice, but I would not go out of my way to do so.

Today was the first time I tried Singapore Hawker and it was amazing! I saw that there were 2 locations but I decided to go to the one in Burnaby as it was closer. The reviews weren’t the greatest which made me a little bit skeptical but to my surprise this has to be one of the best restaurants I’ve visited in a long time. I decided to order takeout on the phone as it was busy at the time. The person on the phone was really professional while taking my order and when I arrived the staff were welcoming and nice. Even though I didn’t dine in, as soon as I stepped inside the restaurant I could feel the atmosphere as like I was back in Singapore which really brought back many memories.

The food was amazing as well. The takeout order was packed really nicely which made my commute home so much more easier. Everything tasted really high quality and reminded me of real Singaporean food. I would recommend visiting this place if you are around the area and I am definitely coming back for dine in.

Stopped by for a quick snack while shopping in the mall. Ordered the chwee kueh and otak otak. The otak otak was medium spicy. The chwee kueh had the sambal on the side so you can control the spiciness. Both were really yummy.

Contrary to the negative reviews, I decided to give this place a try and was pleasantly surprised. They've created a food court-style setting to keep prices reasonable, and the dishes are delicious. The curry was especially noteworthy for its thick texture and generous portions of meat. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made for a great dining experience. It seems that the management has taken steps to improve their operations based on past feedback. In my opinion, this restaurant offers an authentic Southeast Asian taste at an affordable price with welcoming service.

Disappointing food.
Rice was dry and beef in curry was dry and chewy almost like beef jerky!
Roti were soaked with oil not crispy. The rest of the food were mediocre at their best.
In comparison, their Coquitlam location is much better.

I was excited about the new location since it’s a bit closer to me.

It was nice that I was able to call and reserve a table because the walk in wait is about 45 min during dinner time.

I think I need to try again in a few months when the cooks get used to cooking because I feel like everything tasted sweeter than usual? but still tasty!

The wings were my favourite

One sentence summary: spicy with no flavour. Do not recommend.

Ordered 2 Laksas, one with thick noodle and one with yellow noodle, 1 Roti Pratap, and for drinks kalamansi and rose milk.

Laksa: a smallish bowl for the price. The first spoonful of the soup to taste test was bland and unassuming. The shrimps were split down the middle to perhaps increase your feeling of getting value for your meal? Either way, wasn't impressed. The dish felt it was missing soul.

Roti Prata: the roti came as one piece, and Shiok didn't even try to cut it up for us to share. The roti itself was also doughy and didn't have the correct crisp factor. Wouldn't recommend it.

Rose milk: strange tasting beverage that has the essence of rose in it, but feels manufactured. Wouldn't recommend.

Kalamansi: has a spicy aftertaste, also would not recommend.

We tried this place on a whim, and I wholeheartedly regret coming. I would recommend going to Singapore Hawker close to Coquitlam centre rather than Shiok Express. Worth the trip over this highway robbery.

Fast and efficient service! It's run like a fast-food restaurant. You first register at the cashier counter and wait to be seated. When a table is ready, you order and pay at the cashier counter, get seated, and wait to be called to get your food. Staff members are friendly and speak fluent English.

Food was tasty. Portions are generous. Good Malaysian curry at medium spiciness. Skewers are grilled well, juicy and tender. Authentic laksa noodles. Worth the wait and will visit again!

As a person that stayed in Singapore for two years, this is the most authentic Laksa I have ever had outside of Singapore! Great taste and they cook it when you order so the noodles are not soggy and the temperature is hot! Will definitely come back again and highly highly recommended!!!

The Prawn Noodles had a flavourful shrimp/seafood broth. Very tasty. Chwee Kueh, which I believe are steamed rice cakes with a sweet radish topping and sambal. This was a little firmer than what I’ve had in Singapore but still acceptable. The sweet radish topping and sambal made the dish. The calamansi juice tasted nice and refreshing. Pretty authentic tasting Singapore food in a food court setting.

The prices were reasonable; ~$12.95 for the Prawn Noodles, ~$3 for the Calamansi juice. I can’t remember the price of the Chwee Kueh, I think it was about $4. Service was friendly and fast. Portions were generous enough that I couldn’t finish the Prawn Noodles. Lots of parking available
