Reviews for Potluck Hawker Eatery in Vancouver, BC
The world needs more South East Asian flavours! The papaya salad isn't afraid to be spicy and its unique spin (or at least to... me) is the salted duck egg. Laksa was great, I just wanted more! Decor is cute and casual with many Asian food staples liningthe walls. Read more
Been here several times now and each time this place does not disappoint. Flavours are great and portions are generous. I loved... the roti, ordered lots of it. The dip was great. I recommend this. Also had the deep fried pork hock, very meaty, delicious. Theother dishes are pretty standard but also very tasty, pad Thai, beef and noodles, etc. Can’t beat the value and quality.

Very tasty, but also very salty. Even as someone under the age of 30, I'd come back again but I'd definitely ask for less salt... next time. Food was incredibly flavourful, and I absolutely recommend that anyone eating here try the Brussels sprouts. Read more
We tried their $38 brunch menu, what a deal! It includes a drink, 3 appetizers and a main. They were all delicious. We... especially loved their fish sauce caramel chicken wings, boat noodles and the salted egg yolk popcorn chicken with torn milkbread, sitting in a delicious salted ube coconut syrup. The waiter was super friendly and approachable. Would definitely comeback again! Read more
This was my very first visit and the only saving grace of the experience, was the service. If not for the great service, I would... not even consider leaving any stars. Unfortunately, I came for the food and not the service. Not going to lie, after hearing andseeing so many great reviews of potluck hawkers, my expectations were set a bit higher. Sadly, none of them were met to say theleast. The first appetizer, the laksa chow felt very rushed as the vegetables were still very raw. Biting into hard, rawvegetables in a soup was not as pleasant as one would think. The chicken rendang in the entree was tastless, like the marinadewas short and had not set into the meat yet. The prawn crackers that was provided with the chicken rendang dish was very stale,probably a few days old as we complained and they brought us new sets of prawn crackers and the color and taste was absolutelyday and night. I have to say though, the French toast dessert was probably the best thing we had from our meal. Regrettableexperience to say the least. Read more
Stopped by to try their dineout lunch, excited for the opportunity to try a wide range of dishes! Loved the colourful decor, but... the food itself was rather disappointing. The chicken rendang was dry and not particularly tender and quite unlike any otherrendang we'd tried before, with the bulk of the coconut flavour coming from the rice. The egg roti canai was quite good but thecurry was, horrifyingly, HK-style yellow curry rather than any sort of southeast asian curry. The pork chop sando came with nicesoft well-buttered bread, but the meat itself was rather bland. The kaya that came with the french toast was thin and watery anddidn't hold up against the heaviness of the french toast. The horlicks panna cotta itself was tasty, but for some reason camewith spoonfuls of some sort of lemon curd, which made for a bit of an unexpected flavour combination. Read more
Great service, awesome food and nice vibes - would definitely come back! We ordered the pad Thai, chicken nasi and Brussels... sprout to try. They were all amazing and have lots of flavour. The Brussels sprouts really surprised me with lots of flavour andtexture. The place is small but I think they take reservations. It’s a great little Asian fusion joint. Will recommend toanyone who’s looking for a culinary experience. Read more
Came for dinner because of the recommendations and we love south Asian food. The corn ribs was my favourite, however it was a... bit on the salty end. The OG chicken wings was perfectly crispy and flavourful. The popcorn salted egg yolk chicken wasdelightful light even though it’s deep fried. The worst dish for me was the basil beef I took few bites and the sodiumcontent hit me hard. If it wasn’t for the rice and drinks I don’t think we can finish it. Service was fantastic and thedecor/ambience was so much fun. Read more
