    I love the food its Authentic Chinese Restaurant! Its Heart Warming Quick service! The staffs are friendly! Clean Restaurant!

    Inside the restaurant

    First time here. Always looking for Chinese restaurants that have rice noodles in Concord. This restaurant was established in Guangzhou since 1958. I was so happy when my friend told me about this place. It is a very clean restaurant and they've been opened for 3 years. We ordered the bbq pork rice noodles and beef chow fun. Rice noodles were little thick. Chow fun was kind of bland. But they're located in Concord not SF Chinatown I'm still happy with my food. Definitely will come back to try other dishes.

    fish jook & veggie Chang fun without soy sauce
    J L.

    I was craving some Cantonese comfort food and my coworker recommended this spot for lunch. I got the fish congee and the veggie Chang Fen without soy sauce because I'm allergic to gluten. Highly recommend taking your gf soy sauce if you're allergic to gluten like me! Anyway, both dishes were delicious and the fish jook was super creamy, savory and a bit sweet. I really enjoyed my dishes and found that their prices are reasonable. The service was quick and efficient too. They have about 3 more locations throughout the Bay Area!

    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 !

    Dry Style Beef Chow Fun
    Michele L.

    We decided to give Yi Ji Chang Fen a go tonight. My group was feeling varying degrees of hunger, so this was a good place to share some small plates. I've heard of Yi Ji Chang Fen but only tried it today. I've eaten so much dim sum in my lifetime, so my standard for dim sum may be higher. We came around 5PM on a Saturday and there wasn't anyone really there. It could be because dim sum feels more like a morning or lunch thing, or it could just be because we were there for a very early dinner. Between our party, we shared: - Marinated Chicken and Mushroom Rice Roll - Stuffed Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf - Steamed Chicken Feet w/ Black Bean Sauce - Black Gold Egg Custard Buns - Chicken Feet with Herbs - Dry Style Beef Chow Fun And one Honey Lemon Tea for me. The honey lemon tea was a comfort for the cold day. Maybe a bit too much honey, but still good for the throat during the dry season. The chow fun came first and surprisingly it was not bad. There was a bit of 'wok hey' there and it stands out as one of the better dishes we had. As for the rice roll - I wanted to try something less conventional and I've never seen chicken in rice rolls, so I thought it would be interesting to try. It was quite disappointing though. Their rice roll was bigger than normal in width so with rice rolls being a struggle to pick up already, the bigger size made it an even bigger struggle. Everything just slipped out of the rice roll and it wasn't evenly wrapped. There were some bunched up layers on the edges. I think the chicken just didn't pair that well either and it was lacking in ingredients. Maybe the more conventional rice rolls would be better. For the two types of chicken feet, I normally like the one in herbal soup. If made well, the chicken feet has a nice flavor to it. For Yi Fen's herbal chicken feet, their portion was pretty good, but flavor was less prominent. I enjoyed the chicken feet in black bean sauce more because the flavor was better. Lastly, for the stuffed sticky rice and black gold egg custard buns, I suspect that these are not made in-house, but rather store-bought. The sticky rice lacked ingredients and the rice was a little harder than if made fresh. And the perfectly shaped black buns with a golden brush stroke on top (which I've seen all over the internet) seemed too elevated-looking compared to everything else. I'm not the biggest fan of molten lava buns, but they came out nicely. I didn't have any, but the molten lava custard was pretty runny. All in all, an okay experience. Service was a bit lacking. I don't recommend the dim sum dishes, but if I happen to want congee, I may give this place another go. Apart from the dim sum and rice rolls, the noodles I glimpsed from other customers looked not bad. I wonder if other locations are better.

    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.
    Debbie W.

    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.

    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

    Pork and thousand year old egg 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.

I always get their shrimp rolls without the green veggies inside and their porridge is also amazing. I usually get their preserved egg with pork porridge or also the porridge with pork kidney and pork liver. This time we got the fish porridge and it was, as always, solid. Their solid is bland and thick, so classic Chinese congee style. Another one of my favorites is the garlic chicken wings. They are so crazy good. They're super crispy with a very thin skin and ultra juicy inside. I do like to really season the chicken wings with white pepper. This most recent time I tried their Chiu Chow dumplings, which were not what I expected. I'm used to these dumplings having peanuts inside and more texture but unfortunately they were missing that. Still not bad at all. Overall this is one of my favorite spots for a quick lunch with friends or family and I would completely recommend it. It does get full pretty quickly, though, on weekend mornings for families looking for dim sum, so make sure to come when they're not too busy. I usually don't have trouble finding a table.

We were lucky to find a parking spot right away but there seems to be ample parking since there are several lots in front but we did overhear someone did have to park "far away" which led them to have a long walk to meet their party. Waited about 30 minutes for a table for 6 and once seated, was given menus to mark what we'd like to order, was kind of disappointed to not see roaming carts with the exception of 2 serving Tofu Fa (a plus!) and some baked pork buns. With that said, since we have to put in menu orders with waiters, it does add to a little more lag time from the food getting delivered to the table and eating. If you end up ordering some of the fried stuff, there can be extended wait times as a lot of the stuff seems cook to order. Ended up order siu mai, har gow, shrimp rice noodle, and house special (Hong Kong style) pan fried noodle which were good and flavorful. HK noodle was above average and hit the spot; not the best, but is mine and my daughter's favorite dish when going for dim sum. Overall a solid dim sum place in the East Bay if you don't wanna make the trek to the City or Chinatown in Oakland. Food quality is good. Service was above average, our waiter would actually check in periodically and chatted with us. I've been to other places where the food was good but it impossible to ask for stuff and always seemed like a bother if you ask them for anything. They also give you pitchers of water for refills (smart) so you don't have to keep bothering them for refills.

Susie lives in the Bay Area and chose this restaurant. I was skeptical about keeping the cost low as we were having dim sum. I was afraid it would be outrageously expensive and not filling enough. She proved me wrong. Excluding the tea and other drinks it came to $30 per person and that included tax and tip. This was cheaper then the last banquet we had and I actually enjoyed most of the dishes here. The only dish I didn't have was the scallop and shrimp dumplings as the order came out with only 3 and there was 11 us at the table. I'm not sure how that was supposed to feed the table. We arrived at 11:10am and to ensure we weren't late. The parking lot was packed when we arrived. Saying that we only had to go up and down two isles to find a parking space. I have to add that the parking spaces were tight. We had the Honda Pilot and it barely fit in a space and that isn't the biggest car out there. We were told that our table was on the 2nd floor and to go to the side door. We walked around the side and found a door. There was not signage indicating it was part of the restaurant. The right side was locked, but the left side was unlocked. When we entered we were warmed with a sigh that said the floor was wet and to beware of slipping. They had a staircase to the left and a elevator to the right. That was a blessing, I know some of our party wouldn't have made it to the banquet with out the elevator. When we exited the elevator we were met by a staff member with their cart waiting to do downstairs. So the elevator serves guests and staff alike. When we got out of the elevator the staff member pointed us down the hall. We stopped at the bathroom on the way down the hall. Once we found the restaurant we were pointed to the back where we joined our party. We had 3 tables in the back which was nice. It beats being out in the open and disturbing everyone as we stood around chit chatted prior to being served. I felt bad for the table of 2 that were posted right next to the wall near our party. They just had a bad table. All the other tables upstairs were farther away and didn't feel like they were in our space. I have to add that the service was great. They kept coming to refill the waters and tea pot with tea, not just hot water. And we never felt rushed. We had a nice table on the edge of our tables agains the wall that we were able to hang our family tree. We are all 1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins and some of us have never met the others before so we really needed a family tree that color coded what generation you were. My favorite dish was the steamed sticky rice in Lotus root, next was the BBQ Pork Buns, third was the shrimp and pork dumplings. Though I don't recall seeing any shrimp in those dumplings.Thought they were big and meaty. My least favorite was the green onion pancake. It just wasn't fluffy and flakey. It was too dense and lacked flavor. And a little greasy. We had 12 dishes and were filled with some chow fun left over. The chow fun wasn't that great. It was filled with beef which was good, but it lacked sauce and the noodles weren't all that.

    Still a solid Chinese restaurant in Dublin. On a Sunday for lunch, the place was packed and we got…read moreseated in another room a few doors down and disconnected from the actual restaurant. Props to the business owners for recognizing supply/demand. I didn't notice a big difference with service in this random room. Dim sum here is great and we love ordering the special menu items and the incentive coupons to come back!

    The food at Koi Palace is good but the prices are very high. Then they add an 18% service fee that…read morethey specifically stated that it is not a tip, but instead goes toward employee wages, benefits, and operational costs. I don't understand why customers should be responsible for covering the restaurant's internal expenses on top of already expensive menu prices. The explanation for this service fee is only in English displayed at the bottom of their menu, even though most customers are Chinese. Many people would never know what they're being charged for. It feels inconsiderate and misleading. Overall, the experience was disappointing and not worth the money. 写这条评论是为了提醒华人顾客注意。鲤鱼门的菜品一般,价格本来就偏高。结账时还会自动加上 18% 的服务费,并且特别注明这不是小费,而是员工薪资、福利和运营成本。 我不理解为什么餐厅的内部成本要由顾客来承担,尤其是在菜价已经这么贵的情况下。 更不妥的是,这段说明只有英文,大部分华人顾客根本不会注意到。让人觉得不够体贴,也不够透明。 整体体验非常失望,不值得这个价钱。
