The hunt for a good Chinese take out food court booth started when I was tasked to bring Friday night dinner to a ski chalet. The objective was to impress my Canadian friends with delicious and large quantity of Asian food at a price that made their jaws drop.
I ordered and sampled from 3 food booths in total and concluded that Yan's Cook has the best value of food in terms of deliciousness, freshness, best cooking, volume and pricing combination (Yap, I analyzed this to death).
Yan's Cooks is a popular take out food booth. Due to the high turnover, its ingredients are fresh. The chef manages not to over cook every dish I have ordered so far; this is a testimony of his cooking skills. In terms of deliciousness, the dishes taste good, but I must admit that they are quite oily most of the times (like 90%). The food is not too salty per my taste. The volume and pricing are in line with other food booths in First Markham Place. BTW, the average price of the food court food at FMP is higher than most other Chinese malls.
In conclusion, I did feed my 3 friends with $35 of food, taxes included. And we had to finish the food in 2 meals.
