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.
Yin Ji Chang Fen offers authentic Cantonese flavors with Hong Kong influences, blending traditional congee and rice noodle rolls with a modern, fresh approach and a broad dim sum selection. The dishes are described as delicate, flavorful and crafted from fresh ingredients, while drinks lean Hong Kong style and refreshing. Ordering is convenient via QR codes on every table, and reviewers note friendly service, quick pacing between plates, and good value for money, with loyalty stamps offering a free dim sum dish or congee. The new location is bright and welcoming, and the menu features Cantonese specialties that are hard to find elsewhere in the area. While a few experiences mention saltier dishes, small tables and occasional waits, the overall impression remains a comforting, authentic Hong Kong style dining experience at wallet-friendly prices.
Great rice noodle rolls! I appreciate the variety. The standard options (pork, shrimp, beef, chinese donuts) are well executed, & the extra choices are quite tasty (duck, beef stew for example).
The HK milk tea could be hotter but is otherwise we'll executed. The congee is good!
Edit 2026: Quality has kept up & the new dim sum menu is a nice addition.
At Yin Ji, You can get some traditional, non conventional plates, as if you where in China, Guangdong province.
Yin Ji's offers is also influenced by Hong Kong blend of flavors. So it's traditional plates have modernity of the 20th century, but still very authentic.
Drinks, especially with milk are all on the modern & Hongkong side which are refreshing.
Yin Ji's specialties are noodle rolls & congee. But you can have some Dim Sum plates, but also some other Cantonese specialties.
Orders are done thru smartphone, so bringing one with you is a good idea.
The dishes are fresh, mostly delicate, but tasty & authentic. The service is nice & fast, like 5 to 10 minutes between plates rotation.
If you want to explore new dishes through Cantonese culture, Yin Ji offers some specific dishes impossible to find at other Chinese restaurants in the whole Québec province.
All in all it's a great place, authentic & exotic flavors with pricing on the wallet friendly side.
It's definitely one of the place to put in your list if you want to explore more classic or authentic dishes without taking an airplane ticket to China.
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
Delicious dim sum, fairly priced, quick service. Love that you order from phone 📱. They got loyalty card also to give you free dim sum dish after 10 stamps. It was our fist time today. I am thinking coming back tomorrow 😅 my new favourite dim sum place now ❤?
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!
Bonne expérience de Dim sum. Les congees sont excellents, leurs spécialités, similaire à ce qu'on trouve en Chine. Un ensemble vraiment bon, soyez prêt à faire la file, il peut y avoir beaucoup de monde
This is the restaurant my husband & I always go to it feels like our little love spot. The dishes are light, flavorful, & comforting. I especially love the fish congee, seafood congee, Hong Kong style fish balls, & their delicious dim sum dishes like har gow (shrimp dumplings) & rice rolls with shrimp & pork everything here is truly tasty & reasonably priced.
They also serve fragrant Hong Kong milk tea, which I really enjoy. We used to visit their downtown location, but even now that they've moved farther away, we still make the trip to support them it's our go to place.
A hot bowl of fish congee warms not just the body, but the soul something we Asians truly appreciate, especially during the cold season. There's nothing better than a steaming bowl of comfort on a chilly day.

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.
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.
I recently visited Yin Ji after hearing about their moving, wow I love their new renovation, The space is even more bright, modern, & welcoming, with a perfect balance of traditional charm & fresh design. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable when you're out with family or loved ones.
The dim sum was absolutely delicious - everything was hot, fresh, & full of flavor. You can tell they use fresh ingredients & keep the flavors authentic.
What really stood out was the friendly & attentive service. The staff made us feel right at home & were happy to explain the menu & offer suggestions.
Highly recommend if you're craving good dim sum. Can't wait to go back!
If you're craving dim sum at any time of day, this place is a must-visit! It's a rare gem that serves all-day dim sum, which makes it perfect for those dim sum cravings outside the usual dim sum eating times of morning to early afternoon. The staff is friendly & attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. The menu features all your classic dim sum favorites, including shumai, ha gow, rice noodle rolls, chicken feet, & more! But my personal favorite has to be the BBQ pork buns-perfectly fluffy with that sweet, savory filling. Whether you're a dim sum connoisseur or a newcomer, this spot is sure to satisfy!

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
