A rice noodle roll is a Cantonese dish from Guangdong Province in southern China and Hong Kong, commonly served either as a snack, small meal or as a variety of dim sum.
Reviews present Yin Ji as a casual spot that serves authentic Cantonese and Hong Kong style dishes, with congee and rice noodle rolls as signatures and a menu that spans dim sum classics and Cantonese specialties. Dishes are described as fresh, delicate, and flavorful, with the congee and rice rolls frequently highlighted and the Hong Kong style drinks and milk tea praised for balance and refreshment. Ordering from a QR code and the loyalty stamp program are noted as convenient touches that encourage return visits. The new location in Brossard is repeatedly noted as brighter and more welcoming, though a few comments mention crowded spaces or the occasional service delay. While most sentiment centers on strong value and authentic flavors, some items are described as slightly bland or overly salty and a few portions or price points can feel steep, yet overall Yin Ji is viewed as a reliable spot for comforting Cantonese cuisine and all day dim sum.

Cheung fun skin was way too thick. They also put a giant piece of lettuce inside. All I could taste was the lettuce. Not authentic as advertised. Everything else was ok.
The rice noodle rolls were as authentic as I remember them from a trip to Hong Kong. The rice porridge was also delicious. The black & gold bao bun is unique & an absolute must-try, & the sesame dessert brought back wonderful nostalgia.
First time & won't be the last. The pictures do not justify & authentic & freshness of the foods served. We love a good dimsum & esp cheongfuns but this is AMAZING! Come here for the great selection! Even the desserts were on point & also the drinks!! Who needs Chinatown when you can enjoy Hong Kong food this side of the river!
For years, we had to drive all the way to Toronto to enjoy authentic Hong Kong-style congee & other delicious dishes. Now, we can savor the same great flavors right here on Taschereau Street in Brossard! The location is convenient, with plenty of free parking available.
-1 star : Chinese people drink Tea, not tapped water. Why can't you serve free hot tea?
Rare authentic Cantonese congee, dimsum, & rice rolls in the area. There are lunch deals for 1 person, 2 people, & breakfast specials too. Take out tastes just as good.
