Being a big steam rice roll fan living in New York, I looked up a spot to introduce my European…read morefriend to them when meeting up in Montreal and discovered Yin Ji Chang Fen. What I didn't know at the time is: (1) they also have NYC locations, including their U.S. flagship 1/2 block from Tonii's, one of my favorite Chinatown cheap eats and (2) Yin Ji Chang Fen's chains origin is in Guangzhou in 1958... and that location still exists! So, it was a must try! Glad we stopped by and would recommend it for a try, especially if you are looking for a convenient bite while on Ste. Catherine Oeste. (Note - Did not get the chance to check out other steamed rice roll places in Montreal, but will definitely do on my next trip.) About the restaurant experience... while they have printed menus, you use the QR code on the table to order, although there was a helpful waiter to assist. We ordered a fresh Shrimp with Chives and a Roasted Duck with Chives Steamed Rice Roll. Peanut sauce needed to be ordered as an extra. They provide complementary hot tea. (You can also order a can of Chinese iced tea.) Yin Ji Chang Fen's rolls were delicious, especially the roast duck! The sauces added make the rolls even more vibrant. Note - Didn't get the chance to check out other Montreal steamed rice roll places, but will definitely do on my next trip. Also at one point back home, will also check out their N.Y. Chinatown location to compare. To add, Congee appears to be another Yan Ji specialty, however it's not something I typically order.

The restaurant was in a shopping plaza. We went inside and was told to take a seat. The restaurant was not very crowded. We were given an order sheet to order our dim sums. We ordered our usual dim sum items like beef rice rolls, shrimp hai gow, etc. The food was pretty good and tasty. Service was gruff and impatient. Would we go back? Yes since the food was pretty good.

Kim Fung is a in a shopping center and was pretty full but we were able to be seated right away. They brought up dishes on carts and we were able to order even though our table was in the corner. While we were there, the fire alarm was ringing. It did not seem like there was a fire, and three fire trucks even came to check things out, but no one inside the restaurant seemed concerned so everyone kept eating. The food was good but it was a little annoying eating with the fire alarm on. We ordered a lot of dim sum classics that we eat back home in California but it seemed like the prices were lower than what we normally pay back home. The bill once we figured our the CAD-USD conversion seemed very reasonable. If we're in town again and the fire alarm isn't loud, we'll try it again.

They pretty much squeeze a whole lemon over ice with Coca-Cola, which is super refreshing. I know it's not good for you but it's so good. It's a pretty small spot so not many people would eat there you grab your stuff pretty much and go and walk around and enjoy Chinatown.

He was served a bowl of about thirty pieces of boiled, flavorless bok choy. My nephew went for the shrimp dumplings. It was a whole shrimp wrapped in dough, with absolutely no flavor. On top of that, the service was practically nonexistent, and the cleanliness of the place was questionable. The tablecloths were covered in stains, the teapot was dirty, and so on. I do not recommend this restaurant at all. In fact, avoid it

Booths by the windows and bar seating. There's loud salsa and bachata in the background. Huh?! Most of the dim sum are garnished with micro greens, edible flowers and an unusual sauce. Not to hide poor workmanship, but to enhance the food. The sui mai and har gow are bursting at seams with well seasoned meat. Bigger than the ones I've had in Manhattan's Chinatown. Their chicken wings are larger than expected and delicious. The drinks are well balanced, but watch out; you may lose yours after a few. Service is attentive without being invasive.

Ordered 3 dishes, the house fried rice, beef and brocoli and salt and pepper pork - all dishes were excellent, flavorful, fair in pricing and portion. You get alot for one person. Some other Chinese restaurants serve larger portions meant to share, I found this is to be good to share with two people. The restaurant itself is very small just a square room but with maybe 4 or 5 tables and some higher bar stools. If you want to eat on place there is room, however better to order to go. Looks like a family business. No frills, nothing fancy, but very good food, everything tasted fresh and made to order. My partner and I both enjoyed. We have come back at least 3 times since and tried different things, always good.

We had the spring rolls, they were fresh and delicious, exactly what you'd hope for. We tried their fried wontons with peanut sauce, and those were really good. For dumplings, we ordered the lamb and coriander, which were nice, but maybe not enough coriander flavour, the beef and onion, and they hit the spot, and the chicken and curry, which were my favourite of what we had. To finish, we had their sesame balls, and those did not disappoint! I would come back just for them, so good! You could tell that everything was made fresh, with quality ingredients.

They described it as people with carts of food would circulate and you would choose what you wanted from the carts for the table and be billed for whatever you chose. Instead, we were given a QR code to scan and order dishes to the table. Some were fast to arrive, others were not so fast. We had to ask for waters for the table, and one of my dinnermates needed to ask repeatedly for the various sauces he has usually had included automatically. A few of our dishes never arrived to the table at all. When we asked about splitting the cheque, they got very aggressive with us and demanded we pay on one bill. The food was ok, most of it was fine, some of it was great. The concensus from the group was that it was just ok. The place was pretty packed by the time we left, so people do seem to enjoy this format.

I was expecting a more flavored experience and maybe that is not what they do or I could have ordered differently. The menu is huge so it is hard to know where to start. We went here because of the good Yelp reviews. Were we arrived in Chinatown there were many other places that looked great, so we loitered at the door for a minute while deciding what to do. As we loitered a family came out and noticed us and asked if were were going to Keung Kee. We said we were thinking about it and they said just go, it is the best restaurant in Chinatown. Sold. We went in, up the stairs, waited a bit, and got a table. This is the kid of place you need to bring a lot of people because that is whet it is built for, the menu is extensive, and the portions are huge. We puzzled over the menu then ordered our food. We wanted a bottle of cold sake and the waiter brought it in an ice bucket. Nice. We started with the pork dumplings. The dumplings were very goof but came in a hot thick sweet peanut sauce. With a lighter sauce these would have been outstanding. The scallop was huge and had a bunch of stuff on it. There was some good scallop flavor but it was masked with all the stuff that tasted like old oil. The noodle dish was good but also had some old oil flavor coming from somewhere. All the meats and vegetables were nice and fresh but the good sauce I think was the source of the oil. We saw a table next to us had the pork chops and was asked, what are those? So we got that too. The chops were thin bone in with a batter fried then soaked in a vinegar sauce. These would have been good as our only item with a bowl of rice. Our co-eaters there had many good looking things. I would give this a try again but would bring a few more people so we could try more stuff. Total for all that including the sake was $100 Canadian. Not bad!

LOL. Portions are family style so bring a group with you to share. Salt and Pepper Pork Chop - easily the best dish, great crunch and great flavor. Snow peas sautéed with Garlic was clean, fresh and crunchy. Garlic flavor wasn't overly done. Beef Stew over Baby Bok Choy was tender and beefy. The Baby Bok Choy was hidden underneath in my picture, but it was there. There was also beef tendons as well which I always enjoy. Salt and Pepper Squid was a huge portion and similar to Pork, very crunchy. This was a huge portion. Got seated right away in a packed restaurant on a Friday evening. Service was quick and friendly (except for one dude who took exception to me want to pack my own leftovers). LOL.
