A chain serving congee, rice rolls, and more. A classic comfort spot and an added bonus is that they're open late. This is perfect if you're looking for something light and comforting that isn't too heavy. Lots of options here to choose from and it's cheap! Here's what I always get: Shredded pork and gold preserved egg congee 5/5 - Always a classic and hits the spot. Dough stick rice roll noodle 5/5 - A classic, especially growing up eating this dish all the time. It's crispy from the dough stick by soft from the rice noodle. Fresh rice noodle with dry shrimp 5/5 - Something about it's simplicity really gets me. The dry shrimps are packed with flavour and delicious. Sweet cruller 5/5 - A must get to pair with your congee. Beef brisket lo mein 5/5 - The beef brisket is soft, tender and so good. Great change from the congee and rice roll. Overall, love this spot, especially when I just want something simple and light to eat. read more

The food is ok. No surprise and not bad. The service is fast. I just surprise that the coffee is like $3.50 which has no refill and more expensive than Starbucks. I like the crispy fish skin. Shrimp flour rice roll is same price or more expensive than dim sum place. In summary, its price can be the same as a banquet Chinese restaurant. The decor is diners decor. read more

THE place to go to when carbs don't count. :D We've dined in and gotten take out from here numerous times over the years and it's always great. The food is always good and we've never had a bad experience. They're on most of the food delivery apps but they also have their own order website if you want to order for pick up. Parking can be tricking during prime times as there are so many busy shops in this plaza. My go to's are the Egg Rice Noodle and the Seafood Congee. I like the texture/thickness of their congee. The soy sauce that they pair with the rice noodle is really good too. It just tastes so much better than other places, for some reason. The Sweet Cruller is also delicious, best consumed immediately but still great even with takeaway. I also really like the Fish Skin. It's a great texture and the sauces goes with it really well. If you like spicy food, I'd also recommend the Thai Boneless Chicken Feet. read more

I had Yin Ji in LA but thought it was too salty so their name was a bit tainted in my mind (they've since closed down ). Decided it to give it a second chance since my cousins here kept recommending it. It ended up being so good! We ordered several congee, chinese donuts, and rice noodle rolls to share. I rarely have milk tea but needed it that morning and it was so smooth. The five of us left happy and satisfied all for under $45! read more

Love getting take out from here. The rice noodle rolls are always silky smooth and the filling is generous. I also like their selection of congee and appetizers. Overall, it's pretty budget friendly and there are enough variety of rice noodle rolls to please picky eaters. We've also been to this location to eat in a few times. It's a small clean place and the ladies are always polite. The seating area is a bit cramped for my liking so I mostly do take out here. Either way, would recommend this place! read more

Ordered the fish chang fen. It was pretty hearty and I can tell why their chang fen is the highlight of this place. Soft silky chang fen with touches of fish fillet - and it was not a small amount. It is cheap and filling. Service was fast and not impolite. I would come back for their congee / dou jiang / you tiao. Busy for Sunday morning. read more

Amazing congee base, not salty or thirsty after having congee. This is my favorite place to come for congee. Dishes and rice rolls are made fresh to order. Opens until midnight, excellent choice for midnight snack cravings. Noodles are a bit on a softer side so try the noodle if you can accept soft noodles. I personally like al dente noodles. read more

If you want a fast, cheap, and hearty meal, come here. This spot specializes in congee, chang fen (rice rolls), and snacks/appetizers. My order: - Shrimp Congee - 8/10 (good for 2 people) - Olive and Pork Rice Rolls - 9/10 - Dough Fritters - 10/10 (very crispy, and fried to order) Service is fast, and the servers are attentive. It's gets busy but there are a decent amount of seats inside. A lot of people tend to do take out. read more

A pretty okay congee place with good menu selections available. Not bad in terms of price value. Freshly made to order. Better to call or go with UberEats for takeout as the place is a little cramped. Not the best place to sit and dine in. Walk up to the cashier to place your order. No complaints about that. Go for it if you are a congee person. Enjoy! read more

Chaotic during peak lunch hour on a Sunday, people waiting inside amongst the diners; including people/Uber drivers waiting for their orders, constant screaming of Uber orders ready for pickup. Staff then requests everyone waiting to dine in to write down their phone number on a piece of paper so they can call us?? why, we're all standing in line for them to see, go figure. Can pre-order on a paper menu while waiting to save some time. After a 15min a table finally opened up, hallelujah. Ordered the century egg/pork jook, fried dough and shrimp/beef rice roll. Jook not too watery or thick and maintained it's consistency throughout the meal. I just hate it when your jook starts out nice but then tends to separate and get watery towards the end. Rice roll was full of beef and shrimp, rice skin thin, smooth and silky. Fried dough cooked perfectly, crispy and chewy/doughy, perfect compliment for dipping into the jook. Food was great and if you don't mind eating while surrounded by impatient Uber drivers and people waiting for an open table., then this is the place for you, hallelujah. Probably better to avoid Sundays read more

You gotta come here for the authentic Chinese brekkie experience: congee & steamed rice noodle rolls! It's quick, a little chaotic, cheap, and delicious. Just the kind of Chinese restaurant I grew up frequenting :) The restaurant is pretty small, and they do pack the tables in tight, so it's not the most comfortable dining experience. But from the lines you'll usually see outside during brekkie & lunch, you know there's a reason people are willing to wait. Plus, their HK milk tea is on point! Definitely worth the visit! read more

great place for congee and rice noodle rolls! everything there is super affordable and there's a great selection of different ones to choose from. We tried a couple different dishes: shrimp (6.75), bbq pork (6.75), dough (6.25) and the egg noodle rolls (5.25). We already tried the pork (7.25) and chicken congees (6.99). Everything was super affordable and tasty and there's such a great selection! We shared with 5-6 people total and still full afterwards. Definitely would come back read more

Looking for rice crepe noodles and congee? Looking for lots of variation and ingredients? This is your place! This is part of a chain (or franchise?) and it's a great place if you're craving rice noodles and congee. I don't really have a recommendation as it depends on what you're craving and what you like. Ordering is by QR code though they do have some physical menus. The only issue with the QR code is it requires your phone number which I'm not a huge fan of. I wish it would just link with your table. Ambiance is pretty nondescript. It's very basic and it reminds me of old school Chinese diners (especially with the green plastic chopsticks!). read more

A spot for either b'fast, lunch, dinner or night snacks..... the food meets your craving at anytime. Congee, Chinese rice noodles, cold/hot drinks. What surprise me is how cool this small joint is, conveniently located off Hwy 7. Ordering using apps or the conventional way; either way the establishment service is up to satisfy its patrons. Well done! read more

Kept passing this restaurant and finally decided to give it a try for a late lunch. On entering, we were promptly attended to and seated. This is a small restaurant but comfortable. We were promptly served tea in a paper cup and given a paper bowl with a plastic spoon for eating. This was unusual. There are also disposable chopsticks on the table. We had the following: Shrimp congee: Very good. You could taste the shrimp flavour, even the colour had the tone of cooked shrimps. We received 6 large shrimp with the congee. Wow. This was nice to see. Needed a little salt. This was on the smaller size, but good enough. Dough Stick: OK - came served in a brown bag. BBQ pork rice noodle roll: Noodles nice and fresh. The serving size was good. Taste good. Needed some salt though. Rice Wrap: Served in a takeout container. I was too full to eat this, however, the other person had and felt the rice was not fresh. Overall, this is a good place to pop in for a quick eat - good variety of options. Will return. read more

I come here quite often. Lots of cheung fun and congee variety! My favourite are the pork liver, marinated beef and the shrimp! They also add new flavours to their menu. I like their cheung because the skin is thin (not too thick), loaded with fillings, so it has a great ratio of fun:fillings. I would say their congee is decent, nothing too special. The portion is large and good to be shared between 2 people. We love eating the congee with a sweet crueller! The price is good and it is quite busy in the afternoons. The space is small for in-door dining but the turnover is usually quick. They are quick with takeout orders as well. Overall a great place for cheung fun and congee! read more

One of our favorite cities to enjoy Chinese Hong Kong style cuisine is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Many Chinese immigrants from Southeast Asia moved to Toronto after the Vietnam War & 200,000 more immigrants from Hong Kong arrived during the 1980's & 1990's due to the takeover of Hong Kong by China in 1997. As they settled in Toronto & the Greater Toronto Area, these immigrants established huge Chinese shopping centers due to an abundance of land. They formed about six major Chinatowns, including North York, Scarborough, Markham, Richmond Hill, & originally downtown. Many new Chinese restaurants were established that catered to the Hong Kong immigrants. One chain of restaurants, Yin Ji Chang Fen Rice Noodle Rolls, which was founded in 1958 in nearby Hong Kong in Guangzhou, which was already popular in the early 1950's and 1960's. With more than 30 locations worldwide, it established its first location in Markham, Toronto in 2017 (there are now five locations in Ontario and one in Montreal), with restaurants also in CA and NY. "Chang fen" translates to "rice noodle roll" in Mandarin, which is also called "cheong fun" in Cantonese. As such, Yin Ji Chang specializes in the traditional rice noodle rolls filled with various ingredients, e.g., shrimp, fish, scallops, beef, pork, pork liver or kidney, chicken, chives, cilantro, corn, egg, mushroom, veggies, etc. They also specialize in congee, or rice porridge that include many of the same ingredients as the rice rolls and more including ginger, peanuts. There is a Lai Wan Style Assorted Congee, which has an assortment of meats and toppings (fish, squid, pork, peanuts, ginger, scallions.) The rice rolls and congee are made to order and are eaten any time of day, whether they are for breakfast, snack, lunch, or dinner. The restaurant also serves snacks: sticky rice wrap, curry fish balls, fried steam buns, dough sticks, sweet cruller, fish skins, fried peanuts, toast with condensed milk or peanut butter, braised pork knuckles or beef biscuits, fish soup dumplings, chicken feet, and lo mein. Drinks include: hot and cold milk tea, coffee, lemon tea, soya bean milk, soft drinks. Desserts include: sweet black sesame paste, sweet walnut paste, and sweet almond paste with egg white. We enjoyed the rice rolls and congee at Yin Ji Chang so much that we returned for another meal. We had the following: * Rice noodle roll with shrimp and beef. I normally like rice noodle rolls, so it was no surprised how much I loved this rice roll, which was served piping hot and is so smooth, soft, and silky, with the top layer thin enough to show what was underneath it. Good-sized and generous amounts of delicious shrimps and chunks of beef in this rice roll, sitting in a sweetened soy sauce that was very flavorful. Note that there is one large roll (Guangzhou style) as compared to two or three rolls normally served at dim sum restaurants. * Rice noodle roll with shrimp and chives. Generous amounts of delicious shrimps and chives in the glistening and fluffy noodle roll as described above. * Congee with sliced pork. Served steaming and piping hot with an adequate amount of pork slices, the congee is creamy, thick, and flavorful. You can also get the fried donuts (yao tao), dipped in peanut and hoi sin sauce, which can also be dipped into the congee. * Fried fish skins. Addictive fish skins are like potato chips and would go well with the congee. * Iced ribana (black currant) with lemon drink. Very refreshing and not overly sweet. Service was attentive as we were there during off peak time. Staff speaks limited English. Small restaurant, about 15 tables. They have a great picture menu that you can write the order # on a piece of paper and give it to the server. Within five to ten minutes, your order is there. Hot tea is complimentary. House-made hot chili oil, hoi sin sauce, and sesame seeds are available as condiments. This unassuming restaurant is part of a large shopping plaza next to the gigantic T and T Supermarket at the corner of Warden and Steeles, with the restaurant facing the Warden St. side. Lots of available parking, but they fill up fast during busy periods. The restaurant is clean, bright, and with awards and photos posted on the walls. Hours of operation are daily from 8a to 1a (next day). So glad that we found Yin Ji Chang Fen Rice Noodle Roll in Markham, as we look forward in returning to have their delicious comfort food of generous fillings of meat or seafood with veggies that are cooked perfectly in the rice noodle roll with a flavorful sauce! And creamy congee too! read more

Last week, I was browsing eateries on my Ritual app, as one does at midnight, and found Yin Ji Chang Fen as a new addition. I have been craving all things dim sum as of late. I wanted some rice noodle rolls and placed an order last Wednesday while I was out running errands. This place specializes in congee and rice noodle rolls. We've been experiencing a heatwave in the GTA that the last thing I wanted to do was down a hot bowl of congee. Congee is more a comfort food to me when it's cooler outside. I wanted rice rolls. My rationale was that I'd be less sweaty eating them. I ordered the following items: - Sticky rice wraps - Sweet cruller - Sweet corn rice noodle roll - Beef brisket stew with rice noodle role - Barbequed pork with chives rice noodle role I placed my order in Whitchurch-Stouffville. My order was ready in fifteen minutes. Cool! This eatery is in a plaza across from CF Markville Mall. It's a few stores down from Fairstone Financial, which I haven't set foot in for nearly two years. There are exclusive parking spots in front of this store for Yin Ji Chang Fen customers. I backed into a spot and walked in. There is a sign that states to wear a mask. It's mandatory in Markham as of this Friday, so this place was ahead of the game. I walked in and a nice man said hi. I indicated that I was picking up a Ritual order and said my name. It was ready for me. He turned the huge bag around with my order printed out. Yep, that was mine. I thanked him, took some pictures of the interior, and wished him a great day. I drove home. I had a virtual Yelp event to do, so I kept my food warm as I sweated away doing a dance workout. So much for not sweating... haha! Anyway, the workout was perfect. I was hungry and ready to dig in. I started with the beef brisket stew. It smelled so good. It was carefully packed in a container and the gravy never leaked out. I poured it all over the whisper-thin, but wide, rice noodle. I then had a bite. I was in heaven! I have been craving beef brisket for a while. It was flavourful and the sauce was divine. The beef brisket was tender. It was the perfect combination. I love corn. I mean, I LOVE corn. I had to get the sweet corn rice noodle roll. The corn kernels were sweet and crispy. I have never had corn in a rice noodle roll. So perfect. So simple. So good! I actually poured the beef brisket gravy over it. I highly recommend trying this move if you do order these two flavours. I had the sweet cruller. It was still warm and crispy when I got to it. Like a fresh bagel that has just come out of the oven, I can eat a sweet cruller out of the fryer without anything on it or dipped in anything. It was delicious! It was chewy, crispy, and yummy. It has been eons since I last had one. I had one of the sticky rice wraps. Yes, workouts make me hungry. It was packed with pork filling. I miss dim sum so much. Having this sticky rice wrap made those feelings disappear. It was delightful. I had the barbequed pork and chive rice roll for breakfast the following day. The container that each rice roll comes in is perfect to shove into the microwave and heat up. The rice noodle roll was still yummy the next day. The barbequed pork is cut thin, but you get a lot. The same goes with the chives. It was so different. I liked it a lot. I am close to giving this place a perfect score. What is holding me back is the price. My beef brisket rice noodle roll was nearly $7. It's not cheap dining here, but it is worth it for the yumminess that ensues. I will need to come back and try more items on the menu. I'll definitely come back for congee when it's not scorching hot outside. (207) read more

Although Dining in, all utensils and plates and bowls and cups were in disposable containers. That's bad for the environment and also not a great eating experience. Fairly small shop with limited seating. Order food via their qr code Must enter mobile number and verify, which I'm not a fan of. Why must people give away their person phone numbers just to order food. Food tastes good however. read more

Believe it or not.. but my Husband and I ate here 3 days in the row! We were only visiting Canada for 3 days and we had this everyday. It's that good and it's quick too! Morning time is very busy and afternoon it'll slow down. (It was also the weekend when we visit) The second day I came with my family and we had a large group. The restaurant is very small and not really meant for large groups but it worked for us. Of course we order the Chang fen and that was so thin and did not disappoint! I hate when my Chang fen is super thick and so much batter. This place was good! Just the right amount of protein and batter. The congee was very good too but super hot even after couple minutes of cooling down, it was still hot so be careful! The cold fish skin dish was good and I don't eat fish like that unless it's sushi. The fried fish skin was good too but not as much flavor. I wish I took a photo of our table when it was filled with food but everyone was just excited to eat! Recommend 100%! Also, after you pay you get a 10% off coupon for future visit read more

First time trying this, we got the Chinese doughnut, the chicken congee, and the brisket noodle roll, first off this place was packed at 9 am which is like wow, fast efficient service, the congee was good but probably won't order again and the doughnut was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the brisket was so tender and packed with flavour the noodles had a very soft texture it melts in your mouth, and the sauce with the noodles was amazing I think they cook it really simple really get the natural flavour of the beef, this is one of the best noodle rolls I've tried so far the dim sum place I usually go to is really good but this comes really close I can't believe I've never heard of this before phenomenal food read more

Nice clean place for rice rolls Came here late at night (after 11pm) after a wedding. This shop closes pretty late--every other restaurant in the area was already closed but this place was still open, which is amazing because rice rolls restaurants like this are usually open really early in the morning. Talk about long opening hours! The inside of the store is clean. The quality of the rice noodles is good, fresh and soft. The service is nice--the wait staff are friendly. Overall a good place to go for their famous rice rolls read more

Closer to 3.5 stars. We like their congee - nice flavor and solid consistency. We've tried a bunch (chicken, minced meat etc.) and they're all been good. Their rice rolls are decent as well - the one with fried dough wrapped with rice roll tastes super fresh - we ordered it once through a delivery app and was surprised it wasn't soggy or stale when it got to us. We are also a fan of their homemade fish dumplings - a bit pricey (5 small fish dumplings in a broth for about $7) but it's pretty delicious and comforting so it is one of our go to dishes. Fried fish skin is also pretty good. Overall a decent spot to pick up some congee and other comfort foods. Good snack options. read more

Quick and simple, and more than just chang fen/rice rolls. Came by on a Sunday around 11:45 - was lucky to grab the last table as the groups behind had to start waiting. It is on the small side so would not recommend for groups of 4+. Ordered the following for 2: (a bit much but we were starving - nothing leftover!) - dough stick - sweet cruller - Lai wan style congee - shredded pork and gold preserved egg congee - beef & shrimp rice roll - pork & shrimp rice roll - dried shrimp rice roll The congee is the highlight for me - steaming hot, a good amount of toppings. The rice rolls are also pretty smooth and did not break apart instantly. Dough stick was the only dud for me as it was a bit too oily and not as soft as imagined. Having been to the Warden & Steeles one, this location seems ever so slightly bigger (maybe similar amount of seats but it feels less cramped) and the parking situation is better. Service was fast and attentive. read more

my go to spot if i want a quick meal that also is comfort food to me. Always order a congee and a chang fen and am never disappointed. Yin Ji Chang Fen is pretty advance for an asian chain as they have the online ordering system. Lots of options to choose from. The congee is a good portion size and also is not stingy in ingredients. My go to is always the perserved egg and pork congee. Always filled with lots of perserved eggs and has a nice touch of ginger and green onion. In terms of Chang Fen option, theres alot of options to choose from, from just plain white chang fen, to meaty ones like beef, pork or even fish chang fen! Soya sauce is also done well with a hint of sweet and saltiness. If you order online and pay in store, they also give a 10% discount if you pay with cash. Can't wait to return already! read more

Yin Ji Chang Fen's 2nd location in Markham! Right across Markville Mall at the small strip plaza. The menu is identical to the Warden location, so no surprise here. If you enjoyed Yin Ji, you would like it here too. Service thought was 100% better and the wait staff is all smiley and eager to help. I hope they would continue the same service level after their grand opening period. Food here is comparable. The congee base seems to be thicker and not as watery as the Warden's location which is a plus! For people not sure what to order. The Rice Roll is the must. I would probably even just order that and skip the congee. read more

Experience through delivery. Ordered Yin Ji Chang Fen via UberEats and even after 20minutes of travel, it was still fresh and kept its quality. Service was fast, and portions were generous. Prices are reasonable as well. Plain fresh rice noodle roll 4/5 - the basic rice noodle rolls is definitely a representation of whether a place is good. They did it well as the rolls were smooth and not overly oily. The thickness of their rolls were perfect as it kept its shape when you picked it up, but not too thick where it feels rubbery. I would say that given it was cooled down (and just warm when we had it due to delivery), it did give a little bit of a chew, but I anticipated that with that long a travel time. Still it was enjoyable, and with the sesame (which wasnt overly salted or sweet), hoisin and sriracha sauce, it completed the dish. Fresh shrimp rice noodle rolls 5/5 - surprisingly, and likely because the filling made it more moist, this roll was very smooth in texture and had the right consistency. The shrimp in the rolls were plump and juicy, not rubbery and had a nice texture to them. The addition of chives completed the dish. Drizzle a little bit of their sweet soy on top and it was delicious! Preserved egg and pork congee 5/5 - I find the consistency of the congee to be really important, and depending on the nature of it can really change the experience. When I think of places that specialize in fast food congee, I expect it to be more thick and pasty, which is exactly how it was delivered. Its very nostalgic of Hong Kong, with the congee base to be a little sweet in flavour. The was a generous amount of toppings inside, and their preserved eggs were 'fresh' and you can taste that unique flavour they offer. The meat texture is that where its a bit springy, signifying that they likely marinated it in salt and acid to 'loosen' up the meat and soften it up. The slight saltiness from both paired well with the congee base. Overall well rounded and a good hearty breakfast! Sweet Fried Dough 4/5 - when it first arrived, this denser dough compared to its youtao friend was nicely sweetened and you can tell it was fried with a fresh batch of oil. A dense thick interior that pairs nicely when dipped in the congee. Good crisp on the outside, but definitely gets more dense and less enjoyable as it gets colder (which is common with this pastry). Still enjoyable, especially after soaking it in the congee to warm it up again! Overall, my go to for congee and rice noodles for a good price. Definitely cant wait to go bak and dine in. read more

This newly opened location is always packed during lunch time. The place is small and is hard to accommodate large groups of more than 5 people. Since they're pretty busy, you might find yourself reminding them for cutlery, napkins or tea. Food arrive hot and quickly. Portions are in expected size and congees come with generous toppings/ingredients. But I find that their congee is a bit to the watery side. I think I prefer Wong Sam Kee's congee a lot more. Their chang fen (rice noodle rolls) are very silky but they could get really messy when eaten because the rolls are one huge piece instead of thinly rolled form like you'd see at dim sum places. We ordered a bowl of pork liver congee, a bowl of shredded pork with preserved egg congee, sweet cruller, marinated beef & shrimps noodle rolls and marinated chicken sliced noodle rolls. Total came to just less than $30. Is that a good deal? not really, but it's definitely a hearty meal that's perfect for wintertime. And, I'm glad there's another option beside Congee Queen on the East side. I'll give it a 3.5/5. read more

Just lovely! Review on the Chang Fen only The art of preparing and rolling a Chang fen is not an easy task. Traditionally in HK dim sum, it's poured on a sheet pan and hand rolled hence the thick texture. This restaurant has a special technique using a cloth which makes the rice wrapper so delicate and thin! I tried the shrimp and chives as well as the Veggie Roll. Both came out quickly and was perfectly steamed. The Veggie Roll had sliced mushroom, shredded carrots and an iceburg like lettuce. Shrimp was plump loonie sized and actually plentiful for the dish, but you can add more for a surcharge. Servers are very attentive and so polite. It's a nice change as eateries this busy and squished usually have mediocre manners. The tables are just inches from the next diners, so it's got a cafeteria vibe going. Location: south of the mall, on the west end corner of the strip plaza, plenty of parking available. Will be back to try more, congee takes 15 mins to cook, so need more time for that! read more

Congee | Second location | Limited seating | Limited parking A second location extension from the first location at Warden/ Steeles (T&T plaza). This location though only seats 40. The plaza itself is also limited with parking as well. Take out orders are much quicker than waiting for a table. Congress are nice, hot and fluffy personal sized, China style instead of Hong Kong style. Their rice rolls are thin and flavourful, must try. They also have other snacks and their congees are customizable, just let them know. If you don't like green onions and parsley you should tell them ahead of time. Service is quick, if you're looking for a fast and affordable hot lunch, this would be the place to be. read more

So glad this place opened up across from Markville Mall! I came here for a quick lunch and what blew me the most was their service! They were super nice and attentive, which is rare in a fast food restaurant. This place is known for their cheung fen and I can see why. My favourite was the egg roll. I also got their BBQ pork cheung fen, preserved egg & pork congee, dough rice roll and fish dumpling. The least favourite was the fish dumpling soup. Although the soup was good, I was not a fan of the dumpling wrap. Overall this place is great to come for a quick, cheap, and delicious eat for lunch or snack! read more

We find this congee place by chance when we are physically looking around to cure our stomach. This place locates at the furthest corner, and not eye catching. The congee itself is pretty "creamy". However there are only a few chicken cubes (soft and tasty though) and not worthy. The rice noodle rolls are smooth like silk and fresh. It is a good place for light meal. You may feel disappointed if you have a big appetite. read more

It's pretty much a order through your phone and they bring you the phone.. One of the advantage of Yin Ji Chang Fen is they open so late as it is quite hard to find many places that open late anymore due to Covid... Their Rice noodles are good so as their congee.. Food comes out fast and service is acceptable.. Not as crazy busy as their first location on Warden but then, i tend to go later in the evening.. After a day of shopping, it is definitely a place to stop by. read more
