my favourite place for rice rolls!! i really like their stewed beef rice rolls & the curry balls! they serve breakfast lunch & dinner & they also have many promotions daily! & super nice staff & clean place
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.

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.
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!
