About John 3:16 Malaysian Delights (Kingsway)
John 3:16 Malaysian Delights (Kingsway) is a Burnaby choice for traditional Malaysian food in a casual, no-frills setting. The right expectation is a bright, functional dining room focused on authentic flavours and efficient service rather than elaborate decor, with a format that suits everyday meals and takeout.
The value case is direct: the price point is about $20 per person. Order around the restaurant’s signature dishes, including roti canai, char koay teow, nasi lemak with chicken, Hainanese chicken rice, beef rendang, and kari laksa.

Order for breadth, not ceremony
