We stopped by for appetizers/waters and spent maybe 20 minutes. We paid the bill and a waitress came over to ask for tip, implying a tip MUST be paid. Waitress only came by to take order and bring small order of appetizer over. Didn't appreciate the aggressiveness. She didnt want to seem to take no for an answer. If you go here expect to tip no matter what.

Went on a weekday — place was empty. Almost $10 for a rice roll and congee, but the quality was poor. Everything was overcooked, and the congee was really watery. The staff were just chatting among themselves and not providing any service. No idea why the owner is managing it so poorly — it’s hurting their reputation. Definitely not worth the price.

As a Cantonese I am sad . Food can't compare to the Milpitas location . The congee is like water with a little bit rice . The siu mai looks like steams long time and days old . Shrimp dumplings is so tiny . Unbelievable . Sorry no photos . Sad breakfast choice

Cannot make it. 2 days trying 2 branches (previous one in Milpitas) and this branch is a disappointment. Congee is basically water with no Cantonese taste and dim sum tasted as it was frozen for weeks and finally cooked.

My mom and I love this place so much. My mom was born and grew up in Guangzhou, so she had chang fen a lot in her neighborhood. She brought me to Yinji today and told me it was her favorite chang fen brand.

We ordered beef changfen, a mixed sliced pork congee, and a dough. The beef changfen was marinated and tasted so smooth. The mixed pork congee had pork, liver and kidney. The kidney was crispy. I personally strongly recommend this congee!!! You could dip the crispy dough into the congee and try it. Wow!!! It would be so amazing!

Yinji was busy when we got there, but we didn’t wait that long then got a table. The two waitresses worked so efficiently and nicely. They looked different, but worked like twins. One took orders for customers and cleaned tables, the other did the cashier job and handed food to customers. They made a strong impression on me. They worked quickly but also kept a clear and nice communication with customers. I heard they spoke Cantonese, Mandarin, and English fluently. They are the best Chinese waitresses I have ever seen in the bay area.

We would definitely come back to try other comfort food.

A very cozy place for simple cantonese dining. Food quality is high and the service is one of the best among Chinese restaurants. I highly recommend this place.

This place is a must! All other people in there were Chinese, which is a great sign for good food. The waitress made us feel so special for coming in and not being Chinese. ? The food was amazing. The price was reasonable, and the service was the best part. Can’t wait to eat here again. Wished we lived closer. Everything was good but I was most surprised how delicious the vegetables were.
