    A solid Chinese place that satisfies my cravings for soy milk, congee, and fried doughnut. Cash only. I got all of the above (1 person) + tax + tip = under $20 cash. Quick and efficient service- you know how Asians operate. They take your order quickly so when you sit down, look at the menu first before starting your conversations lol. This is a chain restaurant and not some local mom-and-pop shop (probably leased out by them) but is situated in a neighborhood of nice, elderly retired Asians. Come support!

    GREAT rice noodles. Good service. Comfortable seating. Servers are very nice and speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English & French. Expect to wait because it's that GOOD! Order via QR code. Even the chili oil container is clean.

    Totally delicious, fresh, and quality ingredients. I was on the hunt for a dim sum spot but didn't find many well rated places. My favorite dim sum food is the beef noodle and steamed shrimp dumpling. They had both so me and my cousin ventured over here before catching her flight back home. The service was quick which was appreciated. The congee comes out in a big bowl enough for two and you flavor it as you like which I really liked. The beef noodle I could eat for days. The steamed shrimp dumplings were made so fresh and the shrimp was well portioned and seasoned. Even the milk tea came out unsweetened and you add the amount of sugar - which I normally have to ask for less sweet but in this case I just added a little and it was perfect. I which there was more dim sum options like egg custards etc. It is a limited menu but everything on it was delicious.

    Some of the best chang fen I've had. The skin is very soft, light, and slurpy. I like that they add veggies and scallions in all their chang fen. Their sweet soy sauce was the classic ones that I used to eat when I was a child. Service was really efficient. People are very friendly. I will miss this when i go back to NY.

    Great service and great food. I always enjoy the food here, you will never regret eating here. And very appreciate their hospitality and flexibility on order.

    Custard buns

    Some of the best dim sum we've had! The food was fresh, ordering was easy using the app (especially as we don't speak French or Cantonese!), and these dessert custard buns were SO GOOD that we could have eaten multiple orders. If you're in the Montreal area looking for dim sum, this is your place!

    Went here for lunch and it was pretty packed. The space is a little small (maybe 10-15 small tables overall?). Was able to get seated immediately. Decided to get the street noodles, fried dough noodles, cruller, and laiwanese congee (or it's known as "boat" congee in most places). Noodles were okay. There was a slight chew that I'm not quite used to in rice noodles. I'm more used to rice noodles being slippery instead of chewy. The cruller was fine. The center was a little bit cold which was disappointing. Outer layer was crispy and sugary but inner bread mixture was too dense. Congee was great! This is my usual go to congee as there's a lot of flavors and textures that make up this congee compared to the other congee items.

    Yin Ji hit the spot, as I was in need of an Asian food infusion this morning. We tried the new item of a hot bowl of soy milk with the fried long donut, and opted for the shrimp, chive, and lettuce rice roll. Rice roll was comme ci comme ca, but the soy milk was delicious and paired well with the donut. Would recommend to friends to try. The service is friendly and orders are made via mobile quick and easy.

    HK Quentin's good food, portions are generous, interior seems clean and newly renovated. would recommend for traditional congee n rice roll breakfast. 5 stars specially for the hot drinks! Prompt service.

    Chaine torontoise ayant maintenant un resto en ville. Pour commencer jai prit un thė style Hong Kong froid au gout prononcė. Un excellent choix. Le verre est entourė de glace se qui garde linterieur froid et sans glace. Jai adorer le principe. Jai goutė a un de leur classic le congee au boeuf que jai adorė. Enfin leur baton de nouille frit avec sauce au beurre d'arachide cest un pur dėlice,un must. Pour finir comme dessert jai prit la pate de sesame noire qui est plutot liquide et me fait penser a un chocolat chaud tres interessant tant la texture que le gout. Excellent service on ma donner beaucoup de conseil. Le resto etait particulierement achalendė. Je recommande fortement ce resto!

    I came for 11 am lunch on Sunday and loved my experience! It's not a big space, maybe 10 tables total. It's very clean and decor is basic but modern. I was very pleasantly surprised by the menu. This is my third Yin Ji location (one in Guangzhou, China, and one in LA). Both other locations focused mostly on rice noodle rolls and congee, but here they have a variety of snacks and dimsum items as well. They also have several veggie options, and I appreciated that they're well marked on the menu. I was super excited for some authentic Cantonese food after a week of eating bread and heavy western meals, so I went a bit crazy on ordering. I had R1, beef and shrimp rice noodle roll ($8.76), with a seafood congee ($12.50), and deep fried fish skin chips ($7.99) as an appetizer. It was a little too much food for me to eat all by myself; I ended up taking some the fish skin chips home. The rice noodle roll was delicious. The rice noodle is very thin, and they don't skimp on the beef or shrimp. I was a little surprised that they marinated the beef slices the same way dimsum places do the beef meatballs, since I'm not a huge fan of that flavor, but it was still really good. The seafood congee was fantastic as well. I could actually taste the seafood in the congee. I assume they've cooked it for a while, unlike some places that just throw seafood into plain congee for a couple minutes and the congee is still pretty bland. There was a lot of seafood into the congee, with 2 shrimp, 3 mussels, and a lot of squid bits. I do wish they had peeled the shrimp beforehand, as it made eating it a bit messy, but overall I enjoyed it. Fish chips were crunchy and delicious. They first made for a great appetizer and later a great afternoon snack! My friend is vegetarian, so he got R10 vegetarian rice noodle roll ($5.99), S9, salted dough ($3.75), and a hot HK milk tea ($3.50) on the side. He found the rice noodle roll a bit bland, and didn't like the flavor of the chili oil when I told him to try it.

    This place was just . If you dreamt about a certain congee or rice noodle, they probably have it waiting for you. We tried the braised beef, the roast duck and other rice noodle dishes and everything was yum. So were the congee. The fried bread was fried to perfection and tasted great. If I lived in Montreal, I would come here often! Place is small but we didn't wait long for a table for 6 people. Service was super efficient and food arrived promptly!

    Love love love this place! Super authentic rice rolls with an amazing variety. Eating the rolls fresh was so yummy. I'd definitely recommending eating it as fresh as possible as rice rolls do slightly harden over time. We keep getting the beef brisket rice rolls -- the sauce and brisket it comes with is really nice. They also have a wide variety of other HK snack foods, as well as authentic milk tea. Their congee is super legit. Really happy that this place opened up in Montreal!

    A bit expensive. Food was good and simple. Services were decent as well. It's the only restaurant serving traditional congee in Montreal.

We have their wonton soup, which you could tell was homemade and fresh, the hot and sour soup, which my partner said wasn't exceptionally flavourful at first, but after eating more, it grew on him and he would absolutely order it again. We had the spring rolls, they were fresh and delicious, exactly what you'd hope for. We tried their fried wontons with peanut sauce, and those were really good. For dumplings, we ordered the lamb and coriander, which were nice, but maybe not enough coriander flavour, the beef and onion, and they hit the spot, and the chicken and curry, which were my favourite of what we had. To finish, we had their sesame balls, and those did not disappoint! I would come back just for them, so good! You could tell that everything was made fresh, with quality ingredients. I can't wait to try other dumpling flavours, and their edamame salad.

They need to do some updating for guests that want to dine in.

    Old School Cantonese food in the heart of Montreal's Chinatown…read more It's been a while since I've had complimentary pork bone and vegetable soup and seen white plastic sheeted table tops for easy cleanup. LOL. Portions are family style so bring a group with you to share. Salt and Pepper Pork Chop - easily the best dish, great crunch and great flavor. Snow peas sautéed with Garlic was clean, fresh and crunchy. Garlic flavor wasn't overly done. Beef Stew over Baby Bok Choy was tender and beefy. The Baby Bok Choy was hidden underneath in my picture, but it was there. There was also beef tendons as well which I always enjoy. Salt and Pepper Squid was a huge portion and similar to Pork, very crunchy. This was a huge portion. Got seated right away in a packed restaurant on a Friday evening. Service was quick and friendly (except for one dude who took exception to me want to pack my own leftovers). LOL.

I was expecting a more flavored experience and maybe that is not what they do or I could have ordered differently. The menu is huge so it is hard to know where to start. We went here because of the good Yelp reviews. Were we arrived in Chinatown there were many other places that looked great, so we loitered at the door for a minute while deciding what to do. As we loitered a family came out and noticed us and asked if were were going to Keung Kee. We said we were thinking about it and they said just go, it is the best restaurant in Chinatown. Sold. We went in, up the stairs, waited a bit, and got a table. This is the kid of place you need to bring a lot of people because that is whet it is built for, the menu is extensive, and the portions are huge. We puzzled over the menu then ordered our food. We wanted a bottle of cold sake and the waiter brought it in an ice bucket. Nice. We started with the pork dumplings. The dumplings were very goof but came in a hot thick sweet peanut sauce. With a lighter sauce these would have been outstanding. The scallop was huge and had a bunch of stuff on it. There was some good scallop flavor but it was masked with all the stuff that tasted like old oil. The noodle dish was good but also had some old oil flavor coming from somewhere. All the meats and vegetables were nice and fresh but the good sauce I think was the source of the oil. We saw a table next to us had the pork chops and was asked, what are those? So we got that too. The chops were thin bone in with a batter fried then soaked in a vinegar sauce. These would have been good as our only item with a bowl of rice. Our co-eaters there had many good looking things. I would give this a try again but would bring a few more people so we could try more stuff. Total for all that including the sake was $100 Canadian. Not bad!
