Yan Can Cook 顏記

We think Yan Can Cook is one of the best value restaurants with a wide variety of delicious dishes! We ordered fresh meat wonton rice noodles for $8 and salt and pepper pork chop with a drink/soup for $10. Everything is freshly made and full of Hong Kong flavour! The salt and pepper pork steak is tender and not very salty, and you won’t feel thirsty after eating their food! The dry-fried beef rice noodles has a wok-like flavor and is not greasy at all, it’s just right. For someone like me who is sensitive to MSG, it’s really good to eat here! The cashier & floor staff members kept a smile on their face, remained polite and entertain my request of what I ordered(less soup😛), and efficiently handled each customer’s order!

This is a not so eye-catching stall. But the glutinous rice is of top quality! "Small box" cost only Ca$ 6.8 (inclusive tax) but portion good enough! The rice is of round type, hot in temperature, with conventional food inside, good taste. Comparing to the neighbour stall which always has long queue, this stall should rank top choice too.

The prices here are UNBEATABLE. 6$ for a box of Chow Mein? Yes please. So much variety, too! I order my favorite beef noodle dish here every time I'm in Markham. They may be drenched in oil, but what should I expect for this price? My family loves the fried squid, although it's a hit and a miss. The portions are also really big. Three boxes of food costs 35$ (pretty rare in THIS economy) are enough to feed five people in my experience. I'd totally recommend this place for a quick, cheap meal. May not be the authentic Chinese restaurant that you were hoping for, but for half the price, this is a great deal!

It's been a while since I've been to the food court at First Markham Place. This time I was looking for something cheap and tasty to keep me going until I got home. Despite the name, there is no relation to Chef Martin Yan (as far as I know). They had a special on soup and noodles for only $5.99. That seemed to fit what I was looking for but it ended up being a lot of food! I don't think they could have fit another noodle in that box! It was tasty, as was the hot and sour soup. Not bad, especially for the price!

Yan is a convenient option for those seeking a quick meal. While the speed of service is definitely a strong point, the food was a bit underwhelming. I ordered for the Fried Squid with Rice. The portion of squid was relatively small. It was just an average dish overall.
