I couldn't stop eating the delicious food. It was cooked to perfection, although the service was a bit slow and the ambience was just okay. The staff were friendly.

Everything here hit the spot for me! All the food was so comforting for such a cheap price. I'd definitely recommend any of the beef stew noodle soups, congees, and steamed rice noodles! It's a lowkey spot and all the food came out super quick!

After passing Yin Ji Chang Fen on Center Street about a thousand times, I stopped in one day for a to-go order of rice noodles. Specifically, I selected the rice noodle roll with dry shrimp and scallions. The price of $8.50 + tax + tip suggested that I was taking home a full lunch. There wasn't all that much to eat; I'm glad that I had some handy leftovers in my fridge. The Yelper who said that she could have eaten three rice noodle rolls is definitely someone I should follow. And how was my noodle roll? It was A-OK, but not at all life-changing. I'll return, but next time I'll make sure to get some congee along with my rice noodle.

No service, like fast-food, and dumpling looks like re-heated by microwave.

Not bad. Their shrimp and marinated beef rice noodle roll was good. I really liked their har gow and custard buns.
Following the CAL basketball game at Haas Pavilion, we searched for dumpling spots and found a restaurant with high reviews. Despite our craving for dim sum or xiao long bao, we were disappointed.Observing others enjoying noodle soup dishes hinted that we might have chosen better. The prices were high, with an $8 shrimp roll offering just one piece, unlike traditional dim sum places where you'd get more for the same price.Fortunately, having eaten earlier at the Cheese Board, we weren't starving, but the experience was underwhelming. This place might suit those unfamiliar with the cuisine seeking hearty noodle dishes, but for us, it didn't match up to better-quality Chinese dumpling houses in the Southbay, so we won't be returning.The service was fast but lacked any sense of warmth, and the ambiance was basic and casual. Parking wasn’t easy in the evening so prepaid structure parking was the most affordable system.

Whenever I want to get some comfort food, I would order porridge from Yin Ji. The poridge tastes very good.
Love this place! The ingredients are good quality, and everything is so well prepared. The rice rolls are a perfect lunch, my favorite is the marinated beef and shrimp. The way they make congee is so good that my friend who's spent a lot of time in China says it's the best she's ever had. Try the li wan assorted congee if you can't decide which one.

Chang fen and porridge were great! As someone from Guangzhou, I have high standards for congee. Their pork liver congee is very tasty! The dishes are perfect for a mild cold.

Dough stick rice noodle roll is too pricey. Although i ordered to go, not letting me eat there really threw me off bc the store was so empty at that moment.

I went with a group of people and we ordered random dishes that looked popular. Congee was light and good the fish was soft and on plainer side of you don't add any soy sauce. We forgot to buy the fried donut that goes with it. Oops. But still tastes good. The other pork Congee had more flavor with the green onions which was great. I wanted to order all the rice rolls, but I order just 2. I hope to come back to try other ones. There's a corn one and they put lettuce inside the rice rolls which was different.
