The katsu curry carries this restaurant on its back. Great dry (not oily) fry on the porkchop, crispy, & delicious Malaysian style coconut curry sauce. Legendary dish!!! The other things were okay, but not super special compared to other Hk diner style restaurants. Good milk tea & lemon tea too, but the katsu curry is the thing to get- also the only item with a star for recommend on the menu. Also lots of seating!
There were 4 issues when my partner & I were there the last time. Note, we are Caucasian. We have been there on at least 6 other occasions & have not had these issues before.
1, When we arrived & were seated, the waitress did not say one word, no hello or bonjour, nor a smile.
2. We were given water, when the other Asian patrons were served tea. We were not asked our preference.
3. We had made our choice when two other Asian patrons arrived about 10 minutes after us. They were served before us.
4. The dish we ordered was not available because the chef who makes it had already left. This was the teppanyaki, basically a stir-fry served on a heated cast iron dish. I cannot believe the other chefs were not able to make it.
Soup noodle portion is very generous & tasted great & is my comfort food. Loved their raddish cake add-on & HK coffee milk tea. The cat robot helping with shuttling around food is cute but a bit loud.

I ordered the shrimps, cuttlefish & veggy plate. On top of everything being slippery in a small plate, it was tasteless. The cuttlefish was very chewy, & the plate is MOSTLY vegetables.
The wonton soup is good & isn't small like at most places, so that was definitely a good surprise. However after a while the bouillon becomes repulsive.
The 1$ rice is nothing special, unseasoned rice, although the one minute rice was a disappointment.
My girlfriend ordered the sweet & sour pork. She liked it & so did I.
The pork is cooked amazingly, very soft. The sauce is delicious, not too sweet, not too salty, although I would have added a touch of pepper. It reminds me of some pastry, but not in a bad way.
I paid $27 tax & tip included for a bowl of curry with 4-5 pieces of beef brisket & an iced milk tea. Some of the pieces were all fat. The flavour was not bad, but it's just overpriced. I don't mind high prices, but I expect value for the money I pay. Yin Ji also serves braised brisket noodles & they give you much more meat for similar price. Also, the onions & peppers in that curry were basically raw. Definitely not coming back.
I choose a soup noodle Malaysian Laksa. Choose your soup base, 2 choices of meats, sea foods or vegetables, noodle & it comes with free selected hot drink. Presented: laksa udon with shrimps (3), fish balls (3), lettuce, slices of mushrooms & lemon tea. For people who don't eat too spicy, Laksa is a good choice. The soup is creamy with coconut milk. It's one of the rare place that offer that meal.

Portion of beef tongue for $5 seemed too less...as one of them look partially bitten off & overall size looks like a veal's tongue. & I was expecting that the $4 specialllity milk tea had tapioca balls in it, but it did not have. Otherwise soup & taste of milk tea was still good. But the beef tongue is -1.
We loved the downtown restaurant that bears the same name so we had high expectation of this restaurant. We went on a Saturday. There were 3 waitering staff plus kitchen staff plus staff that is stationed at the cash counter where people settle the bill… we sat down, we wanted to get glasses of water, it took a while. It also took a while for us to get our order in. We wanted hot sauce, that took a while. The tall guy simply looks rather new, he walks around but does not pay attention to the customers. There were really only 1 waitress who knows what she is doing. Amex website said they accept amex, but they don't.
At this restaurant, everything is at least $20, but the service is mediocre at best (i try to explain it to myself that maybe they were full that day, & hence the very poor service & that maybe i catch them on a bad day).
The food is also unimpressive compared to downtown location & very forgettable. (I ordered the soup noodle & it has very little noodles in it, even when i paid for extra noodles). The service, food, & attitude of staff is much better at their downtown location.
Other than them serving a lot of food & plates from HK, I do not see why this is a popular or famous place to go in Brossard… 😅
This is one of the few restaurants in Montreal that serve Hong Kong style milk tea, i always order their make your own soup bowl, but i found their garnitures are always overcooked, I think the reason for this is they kept the ingredients in a steam table to keeping it warm, the advantage of doing this is that they can quickly serve their food, overall, it is a good restaurant, i would recommend for you to try it if you are happan to be near Brossard area (South shore).
Update: the quality of the food has gone down sigificantly.

Dear Deer Garden, how do I start this? Thank you for welcoming my best friend & I on a regular basis to enjoy your excellent food. Every time I come here, I get greeted with great smiles from the staff & I get to leave with warmth not only from the delicious soup but also from the amazing service. -Léa & Alexia
Oh Deer Garden soup signatures, the best asian restaurant in the South Shore. I often come here with my best friend & I always leave with a smile on my face & endless memories of the dinner I had. My tummy is full but heart is fuller of love of this restaurant I like to call home. The service is excellent & it excels every expectation just like the food. 10/10 would recommend
Amazing spot. Regular customers! The staff are decent especially the male blond man. Amazing service! I recommend the malaysian broth with chicken & beef + udon noodle! Amazing combo
