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.
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
Un sans faute. Des plats authentiques & délicieux qu'on peut difficilement trouver ailleurs.
J'ai commandé 5 plats :
- Les rice rolls'tubercule de moutarde & porc' : 11/10 (fantastique)
- Le congee'porc & oeuf centenaire' : 10/10 (quel plat réconfortant!)
- Les baos au char siu : 10/10 (délicieux avec leur succulente huile pimentée)
- Les siu mai au porc & aux crevettes : 10/10
- Le riz collant au porc dans une feuille de lotus : 10/10
Bref, chaque plat était une fabuleuse découverte culinaire. Pour le goût, la qualité & la quantité, les prix me semblaient très abordables. En plus, j'ai reçu un excellent service. Merci beaucoup!

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.
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.
I am thrilled I found the new address for this restaurant!!! I have searched a long time! A little farther away, the new space is bright & welcoming! It truly merits the trip. All plates are delicious & prepared with care. The personnel is helpful & friendly. The best congee & the best rice rolls!! Go to taste them!

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!
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.
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!

The service is great the atmosphere is great, but the food is subpar. The rice rolls are too thick & the congee is bland. Downtown location was better.
I like their food very much. This is the location you must try & then you will love it. Very traditional style rice noodles pair nicely with congee. Everything we order are so delicious & great quality & plenty.
The service is great & very friendly. The young gentleman server is very knowledgeable & helpful.
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
