    roast pork steamed rice roll
    Tom C.

    I was really looking forward to visiting Yin Ji in Flushing, as I remember the hours-long lines when their original location opened in Manhattan a few years back. Known for their 60-year history from Guangzhou, this famous chain is highly regarded for its steamed rice rolls and congee. The Flushing location is compact but has a decent amount of tables. It operates as a full-service setup where you order at the table and food is brought to you, though everything is served in disposable containers. The roast pork steamed rice rolls came out incredibly fast--within 10 minutes of ordering. However, the plain rice rolls took quite a while to arrive. When they finally did, they were lukewarm to bordering on cold, despite being told everything is made to order. While it's a nostalgic spot with great potential, the execution at this particular location left a bit to be desired. It's not quite the standard of their other locations and I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again.

    Beef and pork rice roll

    They only accept Cash and Zelle and yet they are really harsh about tip which should be optional. We tried one beef and pork rice roll and only sat for a few minutes to eat. The rice roll was so-so and we looked for a place to bus our own table and cleaned up after ourselves. As we walked towards the door they yelled at us and chased me down to leave tip. I don't appreciate being yelled at. I don't recommend coming here if you want to be treated with courtesy.

    I was craving a classic Hong Kong style breakfast, saw this spot on DoorDash, and decided to give it a shot. Glad I did! Curry combo: Bold, aromatic curry with fish balls, squid, and tofu puffs. Rich and comforting! Soy sauce chow mein: Simple but solid. Not too oily/greasy. That's always a plus! Peanut sauce rice noodle: The standout and a must order!!! Creamy peanut sauce with hoisin for balance, topped with sesame seeds and a side of sriracha. Only downside, the noodles weren't as bouncy as I'd like. Hong Kong style milk tea: Smooth and well balanced, not overly sweet. Overall, very authentic and a really satisfying meal. I'll be back to try more of the rice noodle options.

    Secret peanut sauce rice roll Dough stick rice roll Shrimp chives rice roll We came from afar so we bought stuff to go. Food tasted great, we would need to come back and experience the full dining.

    Cash or Venmo Only! Their menu is set up like a comic book with so many different offerings that it was tough to make final selections! We wanted it ALL! Flavor bomb and must-try dishes: *Braised pork feet rice rolls - five spice flavors infused into rice rolls *Peanut sauce rice rolls - fun, fiesty flavors and unexpected Other dishes we ordered because of greed: :) Pork and preserved egg jook - perfect texture, perfect taste :) Fish jook :| Mushroom truffle rice roll - truffle flavor was pronounced, but it was kinda overkill for me :) BBQ pork rice rolls - had me at tender pork :) Shrimp rice rolls - big succulent shrimps inside :) Braised hard-boiled eggs - family favorite Coming back in a few years... please wait for my return for more tastings!

    R17. Peanut Mix Sauce Rice Roll
    Eileen H.

    Craved Joe's steam rice rolls but they're no longer on Yelp, so I tried Yin Ji Chang Fen. The preserved egg with pork congee is amazing worth coming back for! Pork is so tender and the congee is so flavorful. Shrimp roll with veggies was just okay, but the peanut sauce rice roll was delicious. Cash or Zelle only, no cards. Staff is nice, speak mostly Mandarin. I am so happy I found this place. If you want congee, come here!! For rice rolls, Joe's still does it better.

    No frills place in Chinatown. The pork and century egg congee was 10/10. Went perfectly with youtiao. The rice roll was just meh, I prefer Joes.

    This great HK rice roll/congee spot is small but has many rice roll and congee selections. The food does take awhile as it is made fresh. They have these baskets for you to put your bag and jackets in since the table are tiny and seats are either stools or a bench. Not good for groups but great for single or double. My favorite is the beef rice rolls which they give plenty of beef slices in, toast with butter and condensed milk. HK curry fishballs wasn't to my liking. It had a grainy texture on the outside.

    Recently tried their rice roll with peanut sauce and their sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. Both were delicious. The peanut sauce was flavorful and the lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice has lots of meat and sliced Chinese sausage.

    Small casual restaurant. The workers were nice and saw my backpack and brought a basket for me to put it in without even asking! Hot HK style tea - Not too sweet and very nice balanced flavor! I wouldn't mind getting this again 3.75/5 Beef with chives rice roll - super soft and light rice rolls with flavorful meat filling and chives to balance! the meat is not dry at all but could use more seasoning to make it even better. Soy sauce is pretty light where its not really sweet or salty? would definitely prefer more soy sauce too but overall a comforting meal. 3/5

    Pork & shrimp rice roll
    Catherine Y.

    I enjoyed the food, but the congee took forever to arrive, almost 40 minutes! They said it's because they make it to order, but honestly, given how small the place is, it seems impossible to turn tables. I had the preserved egg and pork congee, which was really flavorful, and they were generous with the toppings. My mom tried the duck blood congee (with added kidney), but it was bland and didn't resemble the photo posted at all. The pork & shrimp rice roll was decent, though I thought the rice roll itself was too thin, which made it feel overcooked and seemed like it was falling apart. I did go back a couple weeks later and ordered the same preserved egg congee to-go, but this time I made sure to call in the order 35 minutes ahead.

    Food is delicious and place is clean. Our waiter is very nice and polite. Come for every month. Shop is very small but very nice.

    R15. Plain Rice Noodle Roll
    Sydney C.

    I love this place so much and the only down side is that they only take cash. I love their rice rolls and the place isnt too packed normally. I get the normal one with shrimp and the plain ones. Theyre very cheap and they give you free soy sauce. Also the fried buns with condensed milk is also very good.

    Do you do delivery or it has to go through a third party delivery service? I prefer if you deliver directly. Thanks.?

    Sorry BB. We don't deliver ourselves. We only go thru delivery partners.

    Is it there indoor dining?

    Food is good, quiet and clean…read more Service is impeccable. My fiance and I drink water like fish. Our glasses were never empty. Warning to all with a pineapple allergy like me: do not eat the duck sauce. If you like spicy ask for hot mustard instead. Orange chicken was crispy and flavorful. I did not find it spicy, but my spice tolerance is very high. My fiance had the chicken with broccoli and it looked amazing. Try the cold noodles. They are chewy and delicious. For me the fried dumplings were good, but not great. Worth a try but nothing to rave over.

    The menu here is split into two sections, classic American Chinese take out and Sichuan cooking…read more Seems to be a fairly popular take out spot, as they were fulfilling many delivery orders while I was there, but the interior is comfortable and elegantly decorated unlike a standard take out only spot. I ordered the cured pork with garlic shoots and dry fried green beans. The cured pork was quite salty, and paired well with the buttery, tender leeks it was cooked with. The dish was not overly oily, and was pleasant over white rice. I enjoyed the chewiness of the pork which allowed you to experience the complex flavor. The green beans were well fried, with characteristic texture signature to this dish. The seasoning was very well balanced and not overpowering to the natural sweetness of the green beans. I would recommend either dish. They were both slightly toned down iterations when compared to the times I've eaten these dishes at other Sichuan restaurants in flushing, but still well seasoned and well cooked. The service was very warm and friendly, and many other customers seemed to be returning regulars.
