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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
