    Overall very good food here. The rice noodles are their specialty and they have a large selection of variations. We had the wonton noodles, congee and a rice noodle. Added a dish of custard buns because it seemed unique - but it's really not much different than the standard white buns at a higher price.

    A very small place. Make sure you come early before the rush. marinated Beef rice roll: 4/5. The best rice roll they have, imo. The beef was smooth and tasty, not chewy at all. It's a bit weird to see lettuce in it, I am ok with that. The sweet soy sauce put it over the top. Shrimp rice roll: 3/5. Very typical. No surprises. Would try other rice rolls next time. Fish congee: 3.5/5. Not bad at all. No ginger and not fishy!! Extra 0.5 for that! Preserved egg and pork congee: 4/5. The pork was probably marinated the same way as the beef in the beef rice roll. It was very smooth and tasty. It's not the same as the one served at dim sum restaurants. I like both styles. Hey, I didn't feel thirsty at night. That indicates that they had very little MSG, if any.

    Came here for lunch and was craving rice rolls and dim sum. Plenty of seating, clean and good service. This spot had a lot of options for cheung fun/ rice rolls. I got the shrimp and another one with the beef. The beef has steamed lettuce in it also and I liked the flavor and textures of this one more. They come with a sweet soy sauce, super good. Dim sum options were also very solid picks. Siu mai and hargow are a must get. Also got stir fried noodles. Definitely coming back

    This is my go-to place for porridge and rice noodle rolls! We came for lunch on a Thursday afternoon since my coworker was feeling a little under the weather. The restaurant was a little crowded, but we were seated immediately. They have physical menus for you to view, but you order by scanning the QR code at the table. We ordered 3 different rice noodle rolls and a beef stew lo mein to share. Everything came out relatively fast with a couple of minutes in between each dish. The beef stew was flavorful and the same meat was used for the brisket rice roll. We ordered the marinated pork and beef roll as well as the marinated beef roll (which I preferred). One thing I really like about these rice rolls is that they always have some veggie inside which adds a slight crunch to your bite. To end the meal, we also got the black gold lava bun which had a runny salted egg paste inside. Everything was decently priced and the three of us became pretty full after the meal. 10/10 would come again!

    Ordered takeout today, food taste great and staffs are really friendly. Ordered the sparerib black bean sauce steamed rice. Wonderfully cooked ribs with great seasoning. My friend finished two ordered by himself!

    Beef and Raw Egg Congee, Black Bean Chicken Feet, Marinated Shrimp and Pork Rice Roll

    Yin Ji Chang Fen is fantastic in the fact that it is no frills, fast, great value, and consistent. It can get very busy on weekend lunches while weekend dinners we've found we luck out being able to snag a table relatively quickly. Stay for the congee and the rice rolls - we have tried quite a few different options and its always a hit. The beef and raw egg is our favorite combo of creamy and savory while the shrimp and pork rice roll adds the perfect balance of sweet marinade and bouncy rice roll. Sorry, drooling. Going back now. Why not a five star? Service can be a bit impersonal and they always let finished dishes pile up by the end of the meal. If you dont mind, then this place is perfect!

    We came to Yin Ji Chang Fen today for well, their Chang Fen. What's Chang Fen you ask? Rice roll with fillings in the middle oftentimes meat and vegetables cooked in a Hong Kong or Cantonese styled way. I ordered their marinated beef rice noodle roll and boy was it delicious! Compared to other dim sum places that offer rice noodle it is almost night and day. Your typical dim sum spot usually has a thicker version of rice noodle. Oftentimes steamed and may be on that steam top for hours at a time. That makes the texture of the rice noodle way too firm and oftentimes it is difficult to eat a lot of it due to the carbs stuffed in them. Not the rice roll from Yin Ji Chang Fen! Theirs are made fresh and what you can tell is the tenacity of the texture on the chew. A definite 5 out of 5 from me. Oh, try their porridge too. If you are a porridge guy like myself, the selections are plentiful and you won't be disappointed. Will I be back? Sure!

    I came here on a Saturday for lunch at noon and there was a 20 minute wait. I first went to the location in Vancouver and was excited to see they have a location in Milpitas. They're most known for the rice rolls so those are highly recommended. 1. shu mai (very juicy, recommend) 5/5 2. dough stick (just okay, more crispy than fluffy, tasted like it had been fried in oil used multiple times) 3.5/5 3. Dry shrimp and scallions rice noodle roll (recommend) 5/5 4. Marinated shrimp and beef rice noodle roll (tender beef and shrimp, recommend) 4.75/5

    Comfort food is above everything for me. I grew up eating a different variation of congee called khichdi in hindi but the way my mind and flavors have adapted to loving har gow and dumplings is because of this place. I have had a lot of shui mai in the Bay Area but nothing beats the flavors you get here. Freshly hand pounded meat gives it that intense flavor and I love it! It has shrimp and pork in it and the flavor is fantastic. Their har gow (shrimp dumplings) have been a hit or miss lately. We order 3-4 plates at a time so sometimes they try to fit all of them in one big basket and it gets cramped and the har gow breaks apart easily while picking up with a chop stick. However, it's definitely the best har gow anywhere. Hand pounded shrimp and a lot of shrimp filling! You actually taste shrimp and it's authentic and delicious! I love their chicken congee! Wait a full 6-7 minutes after you congee arrives on your table for maximum flavor. Mix it well since there is ginger at the bottom. It may seem like there is no seasoning in the congee but my understanding is that it either grows on you like it did on me or you could ask for their soy sauce mix for some extra saltiness. It is comfort in a bowl. Their supreme soy sauce noodles are the best! Great wok hey and delicious! Salty and not sweet at all. We pay a little extra for added chicken and it makes for a great meal! We absolutely love their rice noodle roll, something this place is known for. My go to is marinated chicken and mushrom rice roll with extra chicken and it is DELICIOUS! My husband loves their shrimp rice noodle roll. It's a wonderful place to grab lunch! If tou want to beat the crowds, 3 pm-4 pm is the best time! Locals love this place. It has history deep rooted in community and serving authentic food. Give it a try and you will have found a hidden gem!

    I love cheng fen! It's my favorite dim sum dish. Happy to come here for a late lunch turned early dinner since their hours are flexible, and unlike many other dim sum/chinese spots, their cheng fun is not sold out by the early PM. That said, they have a variety of rice noodle rolls and I got my usual beef + shrimp styles. The rice noodles were very soft and silky, actually it was hard to pick it up with the chopsticks without the insides spilling out since it was so thin. The soy sauce kept it nice and moist, though it could have a bit more flavor. Portions could be a tad bigger, I think I could eat 4 of these easy. For the other items, the jook (porridge/congee) was filling, with a good amount of egg/meat. The shrimp/scallop dumplings were decent, but for $7.25/4 pc, it's a steeper price for 'less' when compared to your local aunties' dim sum carts. Also would NOT recommend: fried tofu (dry/bitter), or dough stick/Chinese donut (dry) Service was great, they serve hot water by default, there's plenty of seating but just 1 single occupancy restroom. People speak canto, mando, and English here. I would definitely come back to get my cheng fen fix if I am in the area!

    Was craving HK cafe style food and found Yin Ji Chang Fen on Yelp. I've been in the plaza multiple times and never noticed the restaurant, so I was very curious to stop by and try them out. We arrived mid afternoon on the weekend and they had a couple tables occupied. We were greeted immediately and told to order with our phone. There were lots of options, all reasonably priced. My favorites from the meal were the shrimp and beef rice roll, shrimp dumpling, fish congee (with extra green onions), and steamed spareribs with black bean. Such a comforting meal on a rainy afternoon, will definitely be back!

    Friends had told me about the dim sum. So we decided to try it out for lunch. I wasn't expecting such a crowd for a weekday lunch. But that's usually a good sign. After we were seated, you scan the code and order on the app. After a few minutes, food started to arrive. The beef rice roll was soft and tender. Not rubbery at all. Everything tasted great,will have to go back to try some of the other items.

    Met up with friends for lunch here. We ordered the usual dim sum suspects. The ones that stood out were: Shui mai and the preserved egg porridge. Everything else was just ok. Very fast service.

    My second time here for lunch. There's no wait on a weekday last time. 3 of us came here on…read moreSaturday around noon, and had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad at all. Even though their parking lot had a lot of cars, it's so big that there're still plenty of spaces. Their inside was huge as well. Because of the high ceiling, it didn't feel too crowded, even though it was packed. They had a lot of servers, too, though getting the attention of one took a while. Our server highly recommended their sea bass 2 ways (congee and chow fun) on their daily special menu. We would have ordered that if they still had fish at ~2lb, but they only had fish at ~3lb, which would be too big for us, as we would like to order some dim sum as well. So, we just ordered from their dim sum menu. The 2 different house teas we ordered came out pretty quickly, but it took a while for the food to come. The Sauteed Turnip Cake in XO Sauce was the dish I liked the most. It could still use more XO sauce, though. Pork & Crab Roe Siu Mai was gigantic; taste was normal. I wished they had chili sauce at the table. We're too busy catching up and didn't bother to flag down someone to get some. The Fried Bean Curd Skin Roll w/ Shrimp was not bad, just a bit oily. The Fried Chinese Donut Wrapped in Rice Noodle w/ Dried Shrimp was on point; it came with a peanut sauce on the side. The Chicken Feet w/ Black Bean Sauce were well cooked and off the bones. The Salted Egg Yolk Lava Black Bun wasn't too sweet; the inside was more runny than we expected. We're already stuffed after having 6 dim sum dishes. Overall, dim sum was solid, but on the more expensive side. While their service was typical for a Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area, they did apply a 16% service charge to the bill automatically, which was stated on their menu.

    Went to HL Peninsula, and it was aggressively packed! We came on a Sunday morning and waited over…read morean hour and a half for a party of five, so come prepared. In my opinion, their system for waiting for tables is a bit chaotic. They do not ask for your phone number; instead, they print out a receipt with a number and call it out when your table is ready. There is a monitor inside the restaurant that you can watch, but since it's so crowded and the way the system is displayed on the screen, it's kind of hard to tell what is going on or what your status is. Service-wise, it's exactly what you would expect from any Chinese restaurant serving dim sum, if you know what I mean. :) Inside, the restaurant is very spacious and large, and I am assuming the reason for the long wait is that it's one of only two places to get dim sum in Milpitas (the other being Mayflower in the other highly packed plaza nearby). They do not serve dim sum with the traditional cart system where dishes are rolled around the dining room. Instead, you order from a menu and mark down how many quantities you want of each item. My family got a variety of dishes, but I'll call out some notable ones: * Their shu mai was juicy and packed with meat, probably one of the best shu mai I've had in the South Bay. * Their har gow skin broke apart really easily, which bummed me out, but it was generously stuffed with shrimp. * My favorite dish was their purple rice rolls. It was basically a Chinese donut stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in a purple glutinous rice roll. * The chicken feet were very balanced and not too sweet. * The truffle scallop dumpling had a rich mushroom flavor, and the scallop added a nice flavor profile. * The BBQ pork was coated well with the char siu sauce. It was tender and bold in flavor. Overall, my experience here was great, but I do not think it warranted more than a 30-minute wait. The food also came out a bit slowly in my opinion, but that was probably due to the high volume of people.

The food used to be fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Lately, however, it feels like corners are being cut. Several dishes taste as though they are pre-made or frozen rather than freshly prepared, which has been disappointing. What makes this especially frustrating is that my group and I used to come here every Sunday and genuinely looked forward to it. It was a regular tradition for us. Sadly, the experience is no longer what it once was. I sincerely hope the restaurant can return to the standards that made it so popular in the first place. Until then, I'll be taking my dim sum outings to Walnut Creek instead.

    This restaurant has been around for a long time serving Cantonese cuisine in Milpitas. They have…read moredim sum available during lunch in addition to their regular menu items. A few dishes they do well here are the salt and pepper spare ribs (pork chop), salt and pepper fish fillet, dried scallop with egg fried rice - all their varieties of fried rice are yummy. Servers are courteous but if the restaurant is busy, servers don't come around as often as they should. You may have to flag them down. I recommend asking for everything up front if you don't see what you want at your table. For example, certain condiments or dipping sauces for your dim sum or glasses of water, extra napkins, etc. Request that stuff when the wait staff first show up or when you order. The ambiance is your typical Chinese restaurant. Simple and clean enough considering how long this restaurant has been in business. Nice chandeliers. Busy on the weekends for those coming in for dim sum. Restaurant is a decent size and has tables that are good for larger parties as well. Located in a busy plaza which houses many eateries near Lion Supermarket.

    This place shocked me...I liked it! I have been here several times now to wait out the traffic in…read morethe Bay Area after work. The staff is friendly and nice including the owner who knows my go to meal which is beat tendon stew with turnip. I have had other dishes and they are all superb and delicious. Not sure what all the complaints about the food are but I have dined in a lot of Chinese dim sum places including Koi Palace and I love this place more. I have not ordered a dish I did not like and I have tried quite a few of the chef specials already. Ambiance is huge and wide open with nice tables and cloth. I go after work at around 7pm and there is a nice spattering of regulars but I know this place gets crowded in the weekend.. Price is fair but the food and ingredients high quality so I don't care as good food trumps price. I love this place and am happy the owners and staff recognize me. The food is superb and tasty and the ambiance perfect when not busy. I highly recommend coming here for an awesome food and chef to table experience!

    Rating is for the good variety of food they offer from dimsum, roast meat, and steam table items…read more Also includes the pricing and customer service experience. This is a to go only place, no dining room. Had the pork fried rice, braised roast pork, soy chicken and charshu pork. I like that their steam table includes something different than other Chinese to go places; not the usual orange chicken and beef broccoli type place. Steam table includes charshu pork, braised pork, soy chicken and more. The braised pork had the roast pork but cooked on soy sauce based sauce with a hint of spicy. The soy chicken had lemongrass and garlic flavor. Charshu bbq red pork was slightly sweet and tasted like bacon but a little gamey. Pork fried rice was well seasoned. Chowmein had a different type of noodles than what I'm used but had good flavor overall. Bought the fried tofu on the side. Tofu was topped with diced grilled onion and bell peppers which gave it a sweet flavor if you eat the toppings with the tofu. All steam table items were good. I would go back to try their dimsum and roast meat items. They also sell pre packaged food if you don't feel like getting the combo items from the steam table. Nice staff. Very reasonable prices with generous portions.

    Wait for dinner on a weekday holiday was about 10 minutes. Ordering is done through QR code on the…read moretable. The truffle and mushroom rice tastes incredible! The Chinese sausage pieces sprinkled throughout added extra flavor too. The bowl is deep so there seemed to be roughly 5 cups of rice. Unfortunately the laksa shrimp fried rice was disappointing in comparison. It didn't have much flavor overall - better than plain rice but definitely needed more seasoning. The menu lists homemade laksa sauce as an ingredient but we didn't taste that, and the dish wasn't spicy at all either despite the 1 chili pepper rating. But it looked just like the menu picture so maybe the description is wrong. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce came with 6 pieces. Very juicy. We also enjoyed the herbal roasted prime steak with sausage rice. The delicious rice had the taste of fish sauce. Most of the short rib slices were soft and a few were slightly chewy but overall decent quality. Some of the fattier pieces of meat were still attached to the bone.

    An absolute delight and a great choice if you're a mushroom fan!…read more This place has been on my queue for a while to try out, and it really hit the spot. I came here on a Friday evening with my friend to grab dinner around 6:00 PM. The wait was around an hour, so be very prepared if you're coming during the dinner rush. This spot is located where the majority of the Asian restaurants are in Milpitas, so it's safe to say the parking can get a bit hectic and intense. The interior of the place is very bright, modern, and clean. There is a lot of seating for a small space, but the reason they are so busy has a lot to do with the number of people wanting to check this spot out. When you sit down, you scan their virtual menu via QR code and order there instead of through a server. You have the choice to order on one phone as a group or separately. Between my friend and me, we ordered a beef mint salad, fried tofu, confit mushrooms, and truffle mushroom rice. I will say that when we first got the fried tofu and confit mushrooms, we were quite surprised by the small portions compared to the price. That said, they were delicious, but skippable if you're trying to find the best bang for your buck. What I absolutely would recommend is their truffle mushroom fried rice. This might have been my best bite this month. It was so savory, the mushrooms hit perfectly, and the coating of butter on the rice was supreme. It was $28 for a bowl, but it was a good value to split between two people. Overall, this place had great, fast service (our food came out in under 10 minutes), a nice ambiance, and fresh, flavorful food.
