Our take: Margaret Drive Hawker Centre offers a good variety of food in a spacious, airy environment, though some reviewers note occasional smells.
We'd recommend exploring the newer stalls, like the steamed fish on the first floor, which is praised for its value and generous portions.
For those seeking a classic, the upstairs western stall provides an old-school experience.
The wonton noodles from Hey Canton are a standout, with fine noodles and a generous portion for $5.80, plus an option to add braised mushrooms for $2.
Be prepared for long queues at popular stalls like the vegetarian option and Thunder Tea Rice.
However, we'd advise caution with the Vietnamese stall on the second floor, as one reviewer found the spring rolls disappointing.
Overall, it's a solid option for a meal, especially if you're in the Queenstown area and appreciate a hawker centre with a sense of heritage.
Best for a casual, affordable meal where you don't mind a wait for the popular choices.

What customers say
Margaret Drive Hawker Centre is praised for its airy, spacious environment and a wide variety of food options, often evoking nostalgia for its community heritage.
Popular stalls like the new steamed fish, Thunder Tea Rice, and Hey Canton wanton noodles frequently draw long queues, indicating high demand.
While many dishes are considered value for money and generous in portion, some stalls, like the Vietnamese one, receive negative feedback for food quality, and certain dishes like tzi char might lack expected elements like wok hei.
