"This Guangzhou-based chain specializes in two different types of Chinese comfort food: Congee (rice soup) and chang fen (rice flour rolls). The combinations are endless, with options for meat, seafood, offal, or veggie fillings, with or without youtiao (deep-fried crunchy crullers). While the dim sum dishes are off the menu for now, check out their crispy fish skin served with chicken soup on the side for dipping, or the brisket with daikon." - Ivy Lerner-Frank

"Longstanding Guangzhou restaurant chain Yin Ji Chang Fen was an instant hit with Montreal’s downtown crowd after opening in March 2021. Located on Ste-Catherine, near Concordia, the restaurant keeps a long menu of congee options and dim sum dishes, but its main attraction is its cheung fun, paper-thin Cantonese rice noodle rolls filled with shrimp, pork, beef, and more coming in at around $5." - Eater Staff

"Thin rice noodle rolls are at the heart of Chinese chain Yin Ji Chang Fen’s menu, but don’t stop there: the menu includes dim sum specialties and fifteen varieties of generously portioned congee, including C9, a classic shredded pork and preserved egg option. Get the S3 youtiao (dough sticks) to dip into your soup for pure comfort-in-a-bowl." - Ivy Lerner-Frank

Yummy food and friendly service— I think I just expected to pay a bit less for a dim sum place, but we got 4 items (2 noodles with meat, 4 shrimp dumplings and those little fried buns) and paid 40$, which I find really high considering we didn’t have a very big meal. Really cool place nonetheless!

great hk style breakfast! my one complaint is truly that it is quite expensive for what you are getting. granted, the portions are quite large. i paid $5.99 for fried dough which, although absolutely worth it, was a huge portion and i would’ve appreciated a smaller portion for less. fish congee delicious

I grew up in Guangzhou, Liwan District, the area with the oldest cuisine in Guangdong. I know very well what the authentic taste should be. And the taste of this restaurant is not. You won’t find the taste of hometown that you missed in here.

Good food. I came in on a rainy night, shivering and wanting to eat soup. I had the seafood congee to go and ate at my hotel. They also have a branch in Richmond BC where I’m from so I will surely try it there too.

This is a good a-la-carte type dim-sum place. Their rice noodle dishes are very tasteful, large and filling. We particularly loved the braided beef noodles. Fast service. I just wish they offered some Chinese green vegetable side dishes, like broccoli or bok choy.

A classic chinese dim sum place with freshly made steamed rice rolls. The rice rolls were fresh, the skin is thin and taste delicious. Their congee is a must try. It's warm, flavorful and comes in different varieties. The chicken feet are also a must have if you like the gelatinous taste of it. They increased all the prices since last year, It's no longer a cheap eats. It's still affordable though.

This place will satisfy your rice roll cravings for sure. I tried the shrimp and chive rice roll and the fried dough rice roll, both were fresh and delicious. The chili oil paired perfectly with both dishes. The mango pudding was perfectly sweet. Have to mention that the service was great too. The restaurant was packed during lunch hour on a Thursday afternoon, yet the staff was attentive and courteous. Will be back to try the congee and other rice roll variants.

Recent visit (09/08/2023) Food is still good which I'm glad but everything is now so expensive!The portions were also sized down especially for the rice congees. This is such a shame because it's such a good place to go. ---- When we could only take out the food, it was good but now that we can sit down and enjoy it fresh, it's even better. Everything is very fresh and very hot as if it just came out of the steamer. We have been there multiple times already and we were never disappointed. Of course, some dishes were tastier than others but that's a personal opinion. Being Chinese myself, it has been a while since I could enjoy such quality in Montreal. I missed it. So, I totally recommend it!
