About Yip's Kitchen @ The St. Lawrence Market

Yip's Kitchen @ The St. Lawrence Market is a Chinese Restaurant located within the vibrant and historic St. Lawrence Market in Toronto. Operating as an "Asian Hot Food Take-Out," it caters to locals and visitors looking for a quick and delicious meal. The environment is characteristic of a market setting – bustling and lively, offering a unique experience within a historical landmark.

The primary service offered by Yip's Kitchen is take-out. Customers can walk up to the counter, place their orders, and receive their food promptly. One reviewer noted the lack of a line, allowing for quick service. While there isn't specific information about dine-in options at their stall, public seating is available within the St. Lawrence Market, as mentioned by a customer who ate downstairs.

A notable feature of Yip's Kitchen is the freshness and taste of their food. The "sticky rice and minced pork" was highlighted as "extremely hot/fresh and delicious," comparable to what one might find at dim sum. While the "hot and sour soup" had a different preparation than expected (with mushrooms and a milder, more peppery flavor), the overall quality of the food is praised. The restaurant is described as having "amazing selections of food served tasty and fresh."

Customer service is also a strong point, with reviewers noting "great customer service" and owners who "always strive to go above and beyond." This suggests a welcoming and dedicated team committed to providing a positive experience for their customers.

Currently, there is no specific promotional information available online. However, its long-standing presence within the St. Lawrence Market and consistent positive reviews indicate a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Just wanted a quick bite for a mid morning snack. We got the hot and sour soup and the sticky rice and minced pork. The sticky rice was just was I was expecting and extremely hot/fresh and delicious!! This is just like the sticky rice you get at dim sum. The hot and sour soup was hot but not what I was expecting. I don’t usually see it with mushrooms and I thought it was light on the egg and very mild in terms of spice. More peppery than anything. However, there wasn’t a line so we were able to walk up and get our order quickly. We ate downstairs at the public tables so everything was still hot.

Popped in today for some dumplings while I was in the markets - these are the best pork dumplings I’ve ever had! Service also very friendly, I’ll definitely be back (with enough cash next time!). ☺️

Yip’s kitchen is my quick go to for my to go dimsum. I don’t even mind not being able to use apple pay as it’s a small business that really does not need extra expenses. I arm meself with cash whenever I plan on visiting St Lawrence Market. Customer service is on point but really never tried to venture outside the norm of dimsum so I couldn’t really review on other food they have. I love their hargow and Siu mai.

Since 2001, Yip's Kitchen has provided authentic Chinese Fast Food in the lower St. Lawrence Market. Their menu consists of reliable standard dishes and can get busy during lunchtime with their low prices. Recommended making a pitstop if you ever need food to go! Their menu offers options from appetizers, soups, dim sum, fried rice, noodles, and some classic mains. They serve items from a hot bar that you can order in person with generous portion sizes! We picked up a Hot & Sour Soup (Large) and Sticky Rice (2pcs) which came to around $10 total. Their take on Hot & Sour Soup had carrots, broccoli, and mushroom. which was different but still delicious and more towards the sour side. The Sticky Rice was done quite well, a bit small in portion but still good for what you are paying. Also, you can buy their BBQ pork per half-pound minimum as well. For the lack of Chinese Food, specifically Dim Sum in this area, they provide a good alternative option and are worth the value! The staff is very quick to dish out your food in containers. The cashier is very friendly and chats with their customers and recognizes new or familiar faces. They prefer cash if you have it, but can accept local credit cards. Do note, it can get busy in St. Lawrence market so you might not be able to find tables to sit and eat at.
