We were absolutely amazed by how good the catered food from YIPS was for our wedding! Our guests could not stop commenting on how delicious everything was. The spring rolls were impressively large and somehow stayed perfectly crispy all evening. The shrimp were generously sized and full of flavor—truly a standout. People were raving about the food all night long, and we can confidently say we’ll be ordering from YIPS again in the future!
I dare say that the Beaver St. Yips is a legend in the Financial District. I think that nearly everyone who works in the area knows about this place. And why not? The food is really good, the portions are generous, and the price is right. What more do you want? I’ve had most things on the menu through the years, and have almost always loved my dishes. The hours are quite short and restrictive, and they could make a lot more money if they stayed open longer. But if you can make it in before 5 P
Catered from Yips for our office customer service week 2025 and it did not disappoint. The owner Paul is very easy to deal with and made sure that everything was nicely packaged for me and my colleagues to pick up. Bonus points for providing large portions and throwing in a salad. Utensils and serving spoons provided however no sauces. So you may want to ask for that separately.
