Singaporean Hawker Food in the Heart of San Francisco
AS SEEN ON
Singapore's iconic hawker dishes, served in downtown San Francisco
Dabao Singapore brings the bold flavors of Singapore's hawker centers to the heart of San Francisco. Tucked inside the Metreon food court near Moscone Center and Yerba Buena Gardens, we serve Singaporean classics made with the same care and authenticity you'd find at a hawker stall in Tiong Bahru or Maxwell.
Our menu features Hainanese chicken rice - three ways, including poached, soy-braised, and five-spice roasted, alongside seafood laksa with springy fish balls and house-made sambal, smoky char kway teow with lap cheong and shrimp, golden curry puffs, slow-cooked beef rendang, and fragrant nasi lemak. Every dish is built around the techniques and ingredients that define Singaporean cooking, from belacan to pandan to fresh wok hei.
Whether you're grabbing lunch between meetings, ordering catering for your office, booking us for a private event, or sending one of our Bay Area meal kits to a homesick Singaporean friend, we're here to share the food we grew up eating.
