Cantonese breakfast but make it available all day? Yes please!
This is the latest location to open up in the bay area making it the least busy as well. We rolled in on a weekday afternoon and were seated pretty quickly.
There are a LOT of cheung fun (rice roll) options here as well as plenty of congee and other appetizers. The pricing here was really reasonable for 2025 as well, with most rolls around $7 and congee hovering around $8. They don’t skimp on the portions either.
For myself that follows a plant-based diet, I ordered their Vegetarian Cheung Fun, their Yu Tiao Cheung Fun, and the Veggie Congee (hold the egg shreds). Again, the portions here are quite generous and even one bowl and one roll would be enough to satisfy two people.
Their cheung fun quality here is really impressive. The rice itself is very silky and moist and the dipping sauce provided isn’t overly salty either. The congee here was also delicious and really hit the spot for someone that loves eating rice porridge.
My mom even said that the cheung fun mirrors the quality she eats while in Guangdong. Mama seal of approval is a great sign.
Great experience with their service and excellent food makes this place another go-to the next time I’m back in the East Bay.

Located right next door (to the left) of the lucky supermarket in what was once a Japanese restaurant, yun ji chang fen (pronounced Ngun Ghay Cheung Fuhn in Cantonese) serves jook, rice rolls and some dim sum in a bright but a little noisy space. They have 4 locations in the east bay and are offshoots from the original chain in hong kong and macau.
What is “good Jook” is subjective but i liked what they made. They have many varieties (beef,chicken, pork liver etc)but it all starts with the jook base which in my opinion is quite good. Some might say it is not as silky or “cottony” as it should be.
The joohk comes out almost boiling hot. 8.5 out of 10.
Their rice rolls aka cheung fuhn are winners with more variety to choose from than your typical dim sum house. I found the wrapper or wrapping a little too watery though. 7.5 out of 10
Shrimp dumplings (hah gow) and siu mau were just ok. The filling inside the hab gohw was a little mushy. 6.5 out of 10
Portions are moderate and so is the pricing. Wait staff are helpful, friendly and accommodating. Parking is easy. It gets busy at lunch time but table turn quickly.
I guess the demographics in San Lorenzo continue to evolve. Who would have thought a “joohk joint” would open in san Lorenzo. That said, give it it a try. During the cold months, grabbing a hot steaming bowl of joohk can’t be beat. We will return.

Dropped by over the weekend. The place was packed with people waiting out the door. Definitely get here early. There was plenty of parking
Once we were seated and ordered our food, it took a bit of time for the food to come out of the kitchen. It’s best to remember that if you are really hungry. It might be a while before the food comes out. When it did, the food was hot and fresh tasting.
We found the food not much to look at, but the flavors were there and a solid 4 stars. We found one dish, the spare ribs, a tad on the salty side. All other dishes were good.
The rice crepes on the dishes we ordered were cooked perfectly.
Overall a solid 4 star place.

This place is hopping, even on weekdays! I’m so glad to see a business doing well in this spot by the San Lorenzo post office. Of course, I had to try chang fen! I opted for the BBQ pork and dried shrimp combo for the filling, and I added scallions for a small upcharge. Most of the dishes offer several modification options. I was slightly worried that the dried shrimp flavor would be overwhelming, but it dissolved well into the soy-based sauce. The barbecue flavor was sweet but slightly smoky. I appreciated the vegetal zing the scallions brought to the dish. Do add some of the mild, yet lively, vinegar sauce on the table. The chile sauce also deserves a shout-out.
Great steamed walnut buns, and I also enjoyed the Liwan congee, but I think the simpler chicken or beef is what I’ll opt for next time.

Went for the first time with my bro in law. The congee was good. The rice rolls were soft, pillowy and good.

Food is good. Service is not bad. U know it’s good when it’s packed at 11am; 30 mins after opened and it’s all Chinese people eating there.

New opening! Rice noodles were bathing in soy sauce, but still good overall. Will be back!

So glad they opened a chain here in San Lorenzo – don’t have to go all the way to Dublin for my Chang fen and congee fix
Not crowded on a weekday evening
