Our take: Canteen 9 offers a diverse range of Chinese hawker stalls, with a strong leaning towards Sichuan and Xinjiang cuisine.
The Si Chuan Xiao Chu stall is a standout, praised for its authentic flavours and reasonable prices, with vegetable dishes typically costing $6-8 and meat dishes $8-12.
We note that some dishes, like the 鱼香肉丝, might have a tomato-sauce taste and an imbalanced meat-to-veg ratio, but the overall execution is generally good.
The Lan La Mian stall is also highly recommended, with its pickled vegetable soup being a particular highlight, offering quality comparable to more expensive alternatives at half the price.
While the Xinjiang Cuisine stall (Jiang Lai) has received mixed reviews regarding portion sizes and pricing for items like the mutton rice and 椒麻鸡, its skewers and the 奶皮子酸奶 are noted as highlights.
Be aware that wait times can be significant if large groups place orders, potentially up to an hour.
We'd recommend Canteen 9 for those seeking authentic and affordable Chinese hawker fare, particularly the Sichuan and Lan La Mian stalls.
It's a reliable option for a casual meal, but be prepared for potential waits during busy periods.

What customers say
Canteen 9 receives generally positive feedback, particularly for its authentic Chinese cuisine and reasonable pricing.
While some stalls like Sichuan meishi and Jiang Lai face criticism for portion sizes, meat-to-veg ratios, or occasional long waits due to large group orders, others like Lan La Mian and the caifan stall are highly praised for their quality and value.
Specific dishes like Lan La Mian's pickled vegetable soup and Jiang Lai's lamb rice are frequently recommended, though the oiliness in some Sichuan dishes is noted.
