Yin Ji Chang Fen - Brooklyn — Restaurant in New York

I tried the Chinatown location and they are both ok. For the price of congee and rice roll I would not go back again. The congee at Fu Kee (which closed) is way better. This place lacks flavor and why is there lettuce in the congee?? Did I order a vegetarian congee or what?? It’s basically their way of saying it’s a filler for the small portion. Anyway, why is there veggies in my rice roll too?? Let’s just say this place is not for people who don’t eat vegetables. Rice rolls are way too soft to be picked up by chopsticks, they just fall apart. Overall food is ok, but for the price...

Newer place for steamed rice rolls. Friendly service who spoke both cantonese and english.

Congee was still hot til the last scoop - warms up the heart, can’t wait to return in winter.

Steamed rice rolls were large and tasty. Personally not used to cabbage in them compared to dimsum version, but it grew on me. I’m a bit of a purist so I didn’t think beef+shrimp was better than just shrimp or just beef. Personal favorite was the secret sauce (peanut butter sauce and hoisin)

Will be coming back!

They also have a night menu which I can’t read but included...

We were extremely disappointed with the restaurant in our neighborhood that we had been so excited about. The food was not up to par with the restaurant in China that we had enjoyed so much. The congee was too watery and left us feeling bloated, and the curry combo was mostly pigs skin with very little of anything else. The only dish that we found satisfying was the stemmed noodles, but they were overpriced. We could easily find a cheaper alternative in our neighborhood. Overall, it was a letdown and we are unsure if we will...
