    Beef stew he fun
    J W.

    The bbq rice noodle roll was delicious. Beef stew he fun, they don't have rice noodle, was delicious. The broth wasn't salty yet flavorful. I don't think there's msg because I wasn't thirsty after eating it. Milk tea is delicious. Coffee milk tea is OK. Siu mai was meh.

    Came here with my parents on a Monday around 7. We were the only customers. Service was quick and efficient. My dad is from Hong Kong and he is very picky about food. He loves this place's soy sauce noodles and fresh shrimp fried rice! It's not oily at all and super flavorful. The porridge was also good with the Chinese donut. My mom wanted to order the French toast but they sold out. Will definitely be back !

    A new spot in Concord... I don't bad mouth any spot. The food is good and the price is right. They clearly do a lot of to go orders so the focus is not on dining inside. I think if you can get over some odd stuff and just enjoy how great the food is I think you will enjoy. The place is clean inside and the food comes fast.

    Regular jook with a can of water just for size.

    This relatively new place mostly offers dim sum and porridge. I like that the menu is enlarged on their walls displayed outside so you know what they have to offer before you go in. We have only done take out and it's pretty fast - 10 minutes or so with chairs in front for you to sit and wait. You can look at the tv screens while you are waiting and we were watching how dim sum was made in China. We tried the chicken porridge, fish porridge and the chinese donut that is usually eaten with the jook. All were good and tasty and the jook was less than $10. We recently just ordered a tub of regular jook and it was good. This will likely be my go to place for jook as it's reasonable and I don't want to drive to Oakland or SF Chinatown. There were quite a few people dining in at the time. Parking is not an issue as this is located in the outdoor strip mall and there is plenty of parking behind the building. There are other eating places nearby as well as 85 degree bakery. You need to ask for utensils if needed. It is not always given.

    Been to multiple Yin Ji's and I love the food here! My friend and I stopped by Saturday night for dinner. We were the first ones seated around 6:30, but a couple groups came after us. This space is large and spacious with plenty of parking in the plaza. It's probably my favorite location so far in the bay area (over Berkeley and Dublin) in terms of ambience. In terms of the menu, they specialize in rice noodle rolls (chang fen) and congee, but they also offer some noodle soups and dimsum items as well. I was starving, so I ordered two rice noodle rolls for myself: the pork and beef roll ($9) and the shrimp roll ($8.25). Both rolls came out quickly and were delicious! The skin was silky smooth and there was a good amount of filling in each roll. I literally inhaled both rolls; they were gone in minutes! My friend got the fried tofu appetizer ($6.25) to snack on as he wasn't that hungry. I tried a piece of it and while it was fried well, it was very bland. Needed to dip it in the salt that comes on the side for some flavor.

    Where's my beef?

    I ordered beef noodles to go and just got noodles. I said no bean sprouts only. Like what the hell, it's not even like they were busy when I was there. I don't understood how they would mess up this one order.

    Everything was delicious - but the garlic wings steals the show.  Very juicy without batter!

    Dim sum was pretty good and reasonably priced. Wings were juicy and crispy, no batter which was good a plus. I'd go there just for the wings! No soy sauce or chili oil on the table so you have to ask for it. Other than that, really good food and at a reasonable price!

    Yum yum yum! Great food, quick and fantastic service, easy seating! I've been here twice now and the food has been great both times. My favorites are definitely the rice rolls and the congee

    I am happy we have a "Chang Fen" and congee spot in East Bay as they are quite niche within Cantonese cuisine, let along Chinese food. Yin Ji offers a strong selection of both and they are tasty! We also have a few other items such as Black Egg Custard Bun (with salty egg custard) and regular egg custard bun. They have Beef Chow Fun and Sticky rice too from dim sum menu. Overall, this is a great casual Cantonese food spot if you are craving for simple dishes. The price is fair and you will satisfy your Cantonese food craving here!

    We were seated immediately in a busy Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was clean, nice and bright. Service was okay. Not much to say. The rice roll was underwhelming. We ordered the bbq pork and dried shrimp roll. There wasn't very much filling at all. I was confused when I had my first piece and thought we had mistaking ordered a plain roll. The shu mai and har gow were fairly standard and yummy. We were bummed there weren't the standard vinegar and chili oil offerings.

    Just like the Milpitas location, this place is modern, small, and located in a plaza! The service is quick and there weren't too many people dining in! Food IS THE BEST! Love Yin Ji Chang Fen dim sum so much! Glad we stopped by for a quick snack after the bday party we attended next door at Urban Air Concord!

    Their congee is reasonably priced and excellent. Their shrimp rice noodle is also great. Parking is plentiful.

    Been here a couple times now. Really like the Pork and preserved egg congee especially on a rainy day. Service is quick and congenial, the place is tidy and clean. Close proximity to all the places we go to in Concord.

Here's what we ordered: Shrimp Fried Rice (6.5/10): The portion was good, but it was lacking a bit of flavor. Some bites were seasoned well while others tasted a little bland, so the seasoning felt uneven. Once I added the chili oil, though, it gave the rice a nice kick and made it much more enjoyable. BBQ Pork (10/10): My favorite dish of the meal! It was affordable, incredibly flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The balance of tender meat and just the right amount of fat made every bite delicious. Chicken Feet (9/10): Great flavor with a nice kick. You can really taste the jalapeño, which adds a subtle spice without overpowering the dish. Fried Shrimp Meatballs (8/10): These were a little on the oily side, but they had great flavor. The dipping sauce paired with them perfectly and really brought everything together. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. Between the excellent service, tasty food, and reasonable prices, I would definitely come back whenever I'm craving dim sum!

That completely ruined the rest of the meal for me. Between the disappointing food quality and the hygiene issue, I won't be returning. Definitely not an experience I'd want to repeat.

Ordered a few dim sum items but ordered off their main entree menu which we haven't done before. Here's what we ordered: Siu Mai - it was delish! This isn't always created equally. lol some places it almost looks like they served frozen store bought siu Mai, but this was legit! Honey walnut prawns - I'm obsessed with this!! It was perfectly cooked! Nice and crispy on the outside and the shrimp fully cooked on the inside. Fried shrimp dumpling: this is my go to at most dumplings sum places. It was delish! Chicken Crispy Noodles: this is the star of the show for me. Their pan fried noodles are perfect. It reminds me of a place I used to go to in sf when I was in middle school which is no longer there. The taste, texture of the noodles brought back memories! I know there are many iterations of pan fried Hong Kong style noodles, but those are also not created equally. This is a winner! Mapo tofu: this is hubby's favorite. We really enjoyed it and will definitely get it again! I'm not going to list everything we got, but I did put the ones that are my favs. Everything we ordered was amazing. What helps too is that the ladies that work here are all so friendly!

We didn't have to wait for a table, but it was quite full for how many tables they have! They have both a good amount of outdoor seating and indoor seating. Ordering is done via a QR code on each table. I want to start out by saying that we were all hungry after a hike, so between the three of us, we shared: 1) Pig Ears & Cucumber w/ Chili Sauce: I love the crunchy, gelatinous feeling of biting into these. They're kinda refreshing since it's usually served cold with cucumber. I think they give a pretty good portion for this appetizer dish. 2) String Beans Sauteed w/ Garlic Sauce: Lots of garlic pieces mixed into these string beans! The beans weren't the most fresh. There were some stringy ones, but portion was also pretty generous and I usually like having these when I have dumplings! It's a nice pairing. 3) Shrimp, Egg, Chive Pockets (2): These are huge pockets and packed full of ingredients. The skin was thin, crispy, but just a tad oily. I love that they added so much chives into it. Although the skin fell apart pretty quickly - either because it's too heavy with ingredients or the ingredients were wet - I appreciate the thin skin more than a thick skin. 4) Juicy Pan-fried Pork Buns: These were my favorite. I haven't found a really good one around the Bay until I tried these. Usually the buns I get are either too thick-skinned, doesn't have good bun to pork ratio, or dry. These on the other hand, were pretty close to perfect. There was a lot of juice inside - I would say as much as the XLBs. The skin was still pretty thin on the top and not too dough-y on the bottom, but also had a nice crunch from being pan-fried. And the pork was nicely flavored! I would come back just for these. 5) Pork Xiao Long Bao: Also pretty good! Skin was thin and held a lot of juice! Pork was nicely flavored as well! But portion was smaller than most other restaurants I've been to. 6) Dumplings with Shrimp, Pork & Chive (10): These were also one of my favorites. They have their skin perfected - not too thick. Filling wise, this is one of my top go-to for filling, and it's hard to resist a good dumpling! We walked out with our bellies full and feeling great. I can't say there were much interaction with the servers since they were so busy, but would come back when I'm around the area!

The chili oil wonton were saltier than I would've liked but the dough had a good consistency. The soup dumplings were ok. 1 braised pork dumpling had a much stronger star anise flavor which was overbearing while the other was perfect. I was actually hoping for the pita part to be more like the style that has crispy layers but it was filling. The chili oil flat noodles were OK. Overall, I've had better hand pulled noodles and I prefer beef broth soup that has a more richer flavor.
