I've been a loyal customer of Yan's Soy Foods for over a decade, starting at their original Markham location which offered a quaint dining experience. Although the current spot is primarily for takeout, the quality of their offerings remains unparalleled. The classic soy tofu pudding, has always been a standout for me. I also make it a point to grab two cups of the classic original soy milk, served cold, during each visit—consistently refreshing and delicious.

While the service might not be remarkable, it's efficient and straightforward, which is appreciable when you're on the go. It’s the consistency in their food quality that keeps me coming back.

Visiting Yan's has become more than just a routine; it's a cherished part of my weekend. Whether it’s the familiar taste of their tofu pudding or the cool soy milk, I always leave satisfied. This spot may lack the frills, but it never fails in flavour or speed—true hallmarks of excellent takeout.

For anyone looking for quality soy products and a reliable quick dessert option, Yan’s is highly recommended. They’ve managed to keep their standard high through the years, and that’s what keeps us loyal customers coming back.

Amazing hidden gem in Markham for tofu and soy milk. The products are made fresh without additives, and you can tell by the delicate texture and taste. They sell different flavours of tofu pudding, including ones with ginger syrup, grass jelly, almond, coconut, or mango pulp. They also sell 2L jugs of soy milk for $3.25 for 1 jug, or $6 for 2 jugs. They also have “on tap” different flavours of soy milk (including chocolate, almond, and coconut) which they sell by the cup ($1.50 plain; $1.75 flavoured).

We tried the almond soy milk. It was cold, refreshing, with a very subtle almond flavour. We also purchased 2 tubs of hot tofu pudding (which are big!) for $13, irrespective of whether you purchase hot or cold tofu. The tofu pudding comes packed to the lid and includes a lightly sweet syrup to enjoy as is. The tofu pudding was so smooth and comforting, and remained hot for hours. My in laws (who we gave the second tub to) said this tofu pudding is “better than T&T”. I’m looking forward to also trying it with some grass jelly and tapioca at home for a special treat. We will definitely be back as a family for more of this healthy and...

Yan's Soy Foods has been around for more than a decade. It was previously located at Market Village and now moved to a new local. You can expect the same affordable prices as it's previous local. Staff are kind. I bought my own thermos for almond paste tofu pudding ($2.70) to reduce plastic waste and she surprisingly filled it all the way to the top. Needless to say, I was more than delighted. The tofu pudding was as delicious as I remembered, almond paste was average but it complimented the pudding well. My goto at the previous location is coconut sango with tofu pudding.

Highly recommend you pay this humble little speciality soy product store a visit if you are ever in the area. Be sure to bring your own takeout containers to...
