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.
A friend recommended us this resto. Went here to try. Just 2 of us & waited half hour to get seated. Table was very small!! We ordered 5 dishes & waiter had to squeeze all 5 to make a room. On top of all this nuisance, was a couple seating next to us reaching out for chopsticks, hot sauce which were both on our table!! As for the food, in fairness, I could say Conge was good. Generous portion but quite salty. We liked the siomai. Braised beef was delicious. Rest of our orders were ok.
If you have a party larger than two, prepare to wait long enough to reconsider your life choices. Once inside this shoebox, we were treated to dim sum-minus the charm of the carts & plus a surprise 15% Family tax.
The rice noodles were so plain I thought I'd lost my sense of taste, & the beef in the noodles was a fatty adventure I didn't ask for. The fish balls were average.
Thank goodness for the custard buns, which were actually delicious. They were almost-good enough to make me forget I was being charged a mandatory tip

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night, cozy & comfortable, not too busy, & impeccable service.
Ordered a braised beef noodle soup, the beef was spot on. Not too fat, not overcooked, tender & easy to mince. Definitely try it with the homemade chili oil. The oil ingredients are very generous, making it very savory without losing that extra punch.
One side of rice noodle with beef, shrimps & chive, the paste was slightly overcooked, losing it's smooth & silky texture.
For drink, a hk style coffee milk tea; not as silky as it should be, but the flavor is there.
Overall, very good experience & enjoyed very much the dinner. Keep up the great work.
If you come before 11am, prices are cheaper. The combos are 9.95$ for a congee, side & drink. The rice noodles were delicious & the congee was solid. Really enjoyed the shrimp rice roll & beef truffle one. Will come again for their early specials.
Definitely the best congee in town! I ordered the combo for 1 person: Laiwan assorted congee, beef with chives rice noodle roll & a glass of Hong Kong style iced milk tea. I was very hangry after being stuck in traffic on the Champlain Bridge during the Friday rush hour. I decided to give this place a try for the first time & oh boy, it ain't gonna be the last time that I will be coming here for some comforting food 😋 Even the shrimp rolls that I ordered for take out were equally amazing!
Great spot for some rice noodle rolls! We had BBQ pork, as well as shrimp & beef rice noodle rolls & they were both great! The fried dough stick, shrimp spring roll, sticky rice, & fried noodles were all very good. Congee was ok, but not the best from others we've had. Service was impeccable! We got greeted & seated upon arrival, though others walking in after us waited 5-10 minutes as the restaurant was full. All the staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything, food arrived quickly even if the restaurant was full, they refilled water before our bottle was empty. The restaurant & washrooms were very clean. The only thing is the choice is limited for dim sum selections compared to other dim sum places.
Très bien mangé, bon service. La sauce du "beef brisket" était excellente. Certains morceaux auraient pu être un peu plus tendres mais très bon. Le congee était bien garni.
To be honest I don't understand the hype of YinJi. The taste of the the rice rolls & congee is ordinary. Taste is bland, I can make better congee at home with a slow cooker. The shrimps are the small low quality ones, the beef brisket is way too salty with the sauce. They don't use quality ingredients, & the portions are too small for the price that they are charging. The dim sum items & the deep fried dough are not made in house. If I am craving for dim sum I would go to a proper dim sum restaurant. Over $8 for one small rice noodles dish, congee> $ 13/ bowl. I can go to a AYCE lunch for that price. Will not be returning
Is about time Brossard got a good rice noodle roll (chang fen) dive with a wide selection. No offense to the rice roll counter in Place Portobello's food court. That place will always have the OG title for handmade rice noodle roll in Brossard. Respect. Yin Ji Chang Fen serves freshly made (per order, it seems) rice rolls. & that is what you want! You want hot & bouncy jiggle jiggle texture. Great batter. We tried shrimp, shrimp & beef, fish, etc rice roll. All good. Layers of thin rice sheets & savoury yummy generous fillings. Our fav was the HK beef brisket roll & HK plain roll with peanut+sweet sauce. Congee was pipping HOT. Amazing for dipping your fritter. Generous with its garnish & filling. The way it should be. I ain't paying for wet rice krispy & water. Amazing lan wai congee & great preserved egg & pork (big pieces of preserved egg!). Personally, kidney-liver-pork congee will always be a top choice, anywhere. If someone can make a beauty out of offals. They got skills. Their fritters are really good. Hot, crispy & just enough oily (not finger stained oily but hmmmm taste good deep fried). Service is rapid & efficient. We ordered on our phones using the QR code & unlike other places where it is complicated & slower than using the waiter, this place makes ordering via QR worth it. We went at 11h before the lunch rush & food came out within minutes of our order.
