Amazing food! I’ve ordered from them multiple times and I’m always happy I love their congee and their shrimp and beef rice rolls. The Hong Kong–style milk tea is much better and more consistent than at several other places nearby. Their lotus leaf sticky rice is so delicious! They also prepare my orders very quickly. Highly recommend this place!

Only docking one star because the rice rolls came out room temp and honestly tasted like they'd been sitting there (or pre-made. or both). The congee is solid. HK milk tea is great. Fried noodles also passable.
Also, can I just shout out the owner/cashier who was hospitable enough to see that my mom was freezing/shivering and offered to seat us at a cozier table further inside the restaurant? Really appreciate it.

Went here to try it out since the old Joes steam rice rolls is closed and was unsure how good the new location is. First of all, it took 20 minutes for my food to be done, and I only ordered a basic shrimp rice roll, and the spot was not crowded at all, it was almost empty when I sat down. The roll came drowning in soy sauce. I love soy sauce but the ratio of soy sauce caused the roll to be soggy and you barely notice the rice noodle texture that I love. The chives in it were put in raw, and it still was basically raw in the final dish. They should have lightly blanched the chives first so that it doesn’t come out totally raw. The taste was just okay. I didn’t like how for a sit down spot, they didn’t use a real plate. They also don’t accept credit card. Would not come back. I’d rather give the new joes steam rice roll location in new world mall a shot.

The waitress attitude was so bad, and we left like 10% tips, the lady yelled us and said it was not enough, it should be 18% at least. It sounds like the 18%tips is mandatory there. For a Cantonese person, the rice roll is also bad here, the rice roll can not be clipped/picked to bowl, it was easily broken when u slightly clipped it. The worse rice roll I had ever eat in New York. Do not recommend.
If you’re ever out early in Flushing and wondering where to grab something warm and comforting, Yin Ji Chang Fen 銀記腸粉 on Prince Street is a quiet lifesaver. Most places in the area don’t open until later in the morning, but Yin Ji opens bright and early at 8:00 AM which already makes it stand out. We came in with groggy eyes and empty stomachs, and the warm, friendly service immediately made the early wake-up worth it.
We started with two drinks that are absolute staples of Hong Kong breakfasts: iced lemon Ribena and red bean ice. The Ribena had that signature sweet-tangy blackcurrant flavor balanced out by slices of fresh lemon—cold, refreshing, and nostalgic. The red bean ice was smooth and light, just sweet enough without feeling heavy. Both reminded me of corner cafés back in Hong Kong where these drinks are practically a ritual.
We ordered quite a bit—because it’s one of those menus where everything feels familiar and you just can’t choose. The curry combo came with fish balls, pig skin, and squid. All the textures played so well together—the fish balls were bouncy, the squid was tender with a nice bite, and the pig skin soaked up all the curry like a sponge. The curry sauce wasn’t overpowering or too spicy, but had that classic HK-style warmth that clings to the ingredients just right.
The soy sauce fried noodles were simple and classic. No bells and whistles, just that beautiful wok hei aroma, the slight crisp on the edges, and the perfect chew. This is one of those dishes you’ve probably eaten a thousand times, but when done well, it hits every time. Add a little chili oil if you like spice—it elevates it without masking the flavor.
The fish congee was smooth, mild, and incredibly comforting. There’s something about Hong Kong-style congee—it’s not just boiled rice, it’s coaxed into this silky, thick texture that feels nourishing. The fish was fresh and soft, with no fishy aftertaste, and it melded right into the porridge.
Then came the stars of the show: the rice rolls, or 腸粉. We tried the beef and shrimp, the pure shrimp, and the classic one with peanut sauce, hoisin, and sesame. You could tell these were made fresh—the rice sheets were thin, soft, and delicate, with just enough bounce. The fillings were juicy and well-seasoned. The peanut-hoisin one, especially, brought back a rush of nostalgia those sweet, nutty, slightly savory flavors are childhood in a bite. This one’s not just about taste it’s texture, smell, and memory, all at once.
These dishes aren’t just about filling you up. In Hong Kong, breakfast like this is deeply tied to routine and rhythm. Whether it’s a quick bite at a street stall or a quiet morning with congee and tea, meals like this are built on years of tradition. And what’s special about Yin Ji is how it preserves that feeling. You don’t just get the flavors—you get the pace, the calm, the care in the way everything is made and served.
There’s no flashy plating, no gimmicks. Just honest food, done properly. And when the server checks in on you with a smile or offers a suggestion like you’re a regular, it makes you want to come back. Not just to eat, but to feel that again. Yin Ji may be small and unassuming, but it’s exactly the kind of place that makes mornings better.

Pretty good rice roll. More canto style. Solid, but not worth traveling for.

This is my go-to rice roll and congee place Flushing. It's cheap and filling. The food is always good and consistent. This trip, we did not get congee because it was 90 degrees out. Instead, we shared curry fish ball, shrimp rice roll, beef and shrimp rice roll, char siu rice roll, and the special peanut sauce roll. Everything was delicious as always. We also got iced yuenyeung which is Hong Kong milk tea and coffee (not pictured).
The staff is adequate and functional. I don't need servers to sing my praises and validate my life choices or tell me their life's story. This place is cash only. It gets busy so it can be hard to get a table if you come with a larger party.

This is a Chinese congee/rice roll spot in Flushing, New York. The food comes out very quickly after you order, which is good if you’re looking for a quick and satisfying meal. Everything is served on paper plates, so if you can’t finish, it’s easy to take it to go. The congee has a light, comforting flavor, and the rice rolls and side dishes are tasty, street-food style snacks. Nice place for a casual and affordable bite.
