Yin Ji Chang Fen - Milpitas

Was looking for a dim sum place that was good and not a long wait for a Sunday. The total wait time was about 10 minutes even with a full house which wasn’t bad. The dim sum selection wasn’t as extensive as a typical dim sum restaurant but it has some of the main items I like such as: siu mai, shrimp dumpling, and shrimp rice roll. The congee was really good and cheap. One bowl is good for two people. We didn’t know that so got two bowls. Add the chinese donut and you’ll be set. They didn’t have chicken feet like the traditional dim sum spots. This is a small little joint but the service was fast and efficient. Soy sauce isn’t on the table so you’ll have to request it but they’ll give you some quick in a small tray.

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

Typical Chinese eatery with bright and clean space. Service was quick and friendly. Food can be ordered via QR code on the table or with a server I like the variety of Chang Fen (noodle wraps) they offer. Will definitely visit more often to try them all out The noodle wrap and wrap for Dim Sum items is thin and smooth that melts in the mouth The pork liver and kidney herb soup was surprisingly good - liver was soft, not tough and dry

We came to Yin Ji Chang Fen today for 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. O

I was skeptical coming here to get dim sum, but decided to give this place a try and I don't regret it. I loved every dish they had especially their marinaded shrimp rice noodle roll + congee. To top everything off, the lava molten bun was amazing! Service was amazing as the staff were attentive. As for ambiance, the restaurant was clean and modern. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area!
