| - This place is located in the lower level of the St Lawrence Market, just around the corner from the West side lower entrance.
Essentially you pay $5.75 for your choice of noodle or rice, and then you get to pick an item to have put on top. For an extra dollar or so you can get a second item as well. I almost always went with the General Chao Chicken (yes, you read that right... Chao) on a thick vermicelli noodle, although the Spicy Chicken w/ Vegetable, Chilli Chicken, and BBQ Pork were good for variety too. If you're vegetarian, fear not as they have grilled eggplant, tofu, and a couple other options. The spring rolls, dumplings, and chicken wings were all nice add ons as well. The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because sometimes they run out of certain dishes and it can be a bit of a let down to be stuck with a lesser impressive noodle (the shanghai noodle comes to mind).
This is the probably where my love for cheap chinese food lunches comes from. When I worked in the area I'd come down here at least once a week to take advantage of their wicked deals. After a couple years of eating this every week, I've been on a mission to find something that fills the void in my new working grounds. While I've found cheap chinese lunches, nothing has been as good as Yip's was. Hopefully I'll have time on a weekend to stop by again for some lunch, because I miss this place.
