Great congee spot! I really enjoyed the congee here—it was smooth, comforting, and full of flavor. The beef rice roll was also very good, fresh and well-seasoned. Simple food done right. I’ll definitely come back when I’m craving congee.

If you are ever in Flushing, early in the morning, you know how difficult it is to find a place to eat. Luckily, Yin Ji Chang Fen 銀記腸粉 is one of the few restaurants that opens early. This place is a famous Cantonese breakfast place that has been popular in China since the 1950s. If you want to enjoy traditional Cantonese breakfast, you have to order congee or rice roll. Luckily, those are the specialties of this place! Depending on your preference, you can order with shrimp, slice beef, slice pork, slice fish, and more. Similarly, you have a variety of options for the rice rolls. Personally, I love the Shrimp w. Chives Rice Roll, the Beef w. Chives Rice Roll, and the Secret Peanut Sauce Rice Roll. I also recommend trying the Ice Lemon Ribena. Not too sweet, with a slight sour taste. When paired with the food, this place offers the perfect wake-up call for anyone. Please note that this place is cash only. I believe they do accept Zelle now, but please ask and confirm before dining.

I enjoyed the food, but the congee took forever to arrive, almost 40 minutes! They said it's because they make it to order, but honestly, given how small the place is, it seems impossible to turn tables. I had the preserved egg and pork congee, which was really flavorful, and they were generous with the toppings. My mom tried the duck blood congee (with added kidney), but it was bland and didn't resemble the photo posted at all. The pork & shrimp rice roll was decent, though I thought the rice roll itself was too thin, which made it feel overcooked and seemed like it was falling apart. I did go back a couple weeks later and ordered the same preserved egg congee to-go, but this time I made sure to call in the order 35 minutes ahead.

Casual spot for some rice rolls and congee. No frills - all food is served in disposable containers. Good food and fairly affordable - not too salty. Stick to the rice rolls and congee. Did not enjoy the fried noodles. Cold Hong Kong milk tea was a good compliment to the food. Come here for comfort food and be prepared to wait if they’re full.

This is a Chinese congee/rice roll spot in Flushing, New York. The food comes out very quickly after you order, which is good if you’re looking for a quick and satisfying meal. Everything is served on paper plates, so if you can’t finish, it’s easy to take it to go. The congee has a light, comforting flavor, and the rice rolls and side dishes are tasty, street-food style snacks. Nice place for a casual and affordable bite.
