| - [LOCATION] - 4/5
This place is located on Warden Ave and Steeles Ave E in the same building as Ajisen Ramen.
The main entrance was a bit of a walk from the parking lot. Fortunately, there were lots of empty
spots in the parking lot.
[SERVICE] - 3/5
Staff were efficient and food came quickly. A lot of servers worked on that night, and everything
went smoothly during the dinner rush. They did not have much time to check on our table, but I
understand they tried their best to tame the crowd.
[DÉCOR] - 4/5
Small and seated a lot of customers but was clean. This looked like a more modern/refined spot
for rice noodle rolls in comparison to the old-school/authentic ones in southern China and Hong
Kong.
[QUALITY] - 4/5
Rice noodles were high-quality, fresh, and soft! Congee had a good amount of pork and
preserved egg! Definitely worth the value.
[ORDER] - 4/5
- Shredded Pork & Gold Preserved Egg Congee - $5.00: lots of shredded pork and preserved
egg. Congee tasted quite comforting, and the green onion & cilantro added freshness to the
hearty bowl of goodness.
- Egg Rice Noodle Roll - $3.75: We ordered this because egg was not a common ingredient in
rice noodle rolls. The verdict: egg was soft, blended with the noodle roll, and tasted a tad too
one-dimensional. Definitely was unique, but would not order again.
- Dough Stick Rice Noodle Roll - $4.00: I would prefer if the dough stick was a little crispier.
Nonetheless, I still really liked this rice noodle roll, especially dipped in the peanut & hoisin
sauce!
- Marinated Chicken Slices with Chives Rice Noodle Roll - $4.50: chicken slices were deliciously
moist and steamed to perfection.
[OVERALL] - 4/5
I would definitely recommend the rice noodle rolls and congee at Yan Ji Chang Fen because
they are affordable, simple, and so comforting!
