Congee Queen: Reviews & Ratings
I’ve never been to this Congee Queen location and now it’s my favourite of them all! Every dish that I ordered was incredible! Despite the food coming out super fast, the food was delicious! Everything I had was unreal good. The turnips are a pleasant surprise. Crispy on the outside, soft like a pillow on the inside. The golden bowl is another one of my favourite dishes. So saucy, so tender, so good. Pro tip, bring cash and receive a 15% discount
This is one of my favourite food haunts. I usually would do takeout, but today as our pre-Christmas celebration together, we decided to dine-in. I ordered my usual, Thai mango salad, rice noodle with beef black bean sauce, Shanghai noodles, and NVC ordered the chicken fried rice. But we shared everything! Other dishes I'm really fond of: roast duck soup with rice noodles, bean curd with spicy ground pork, the spicy fried fish, and sizzling beef platter. Honestly, I have tried most of the menu, and it's all fantastic. This location has really fresh ingredients, large portions, and everything really compliments everything else. So even if you have a sizzling platter, it will go with any vegetable you order. We were so excited about the mango salad, we dove in before I had a chance to take a picture! No fear,l! I ordered another to go! Merry Christmas to me(and You!).
Very tasty food. I come here normally when I pass by Scarborough. I get the empress fried rice and salt and pepper squid every time. I'm a bit sad that the prices have gone up so much due to inflation.
Agnes the waitress was excellent! Food was served quickly and was very good! Very good prices for the quantity of food you get!
This is the Congee Queen location I go to the most. They are always so busy . Their Chinese BBQ is so good . The quality is always the same . BBQ PORK is never dry. The roast duck skin crispy and meat juicy . Usually get the fried grouper but today I got the fried sea bass, which was very light and tasty the sauce was a little on the salty side . The wonton soup was as usual fresh and cooked well. Definitely a place to go if you are doing large groups , because their serving sizes are bigger . If you pay cash they give you a discount it was 10 percent but I think they changed it to 5 percent discount . They also have lunch menus during the week and afternoon tea menu during the week as well.
Came here on a Sunday for lunch and it was quite busy but still was able to get a table for 6 without a reservation and no waiting! Lots of variety here! They have a big menu here that might be a little overwhelming but their kitchen is great! We were able to order from a QR code they provide so there was less of a wait time ordering straight to the kitchen. We ordered: - K42 Spice & Pepper Salt Squid (15.50) - K57 Deep Fried Chicken Wings 6 pieces (12) x2 - K58 Spice & Pepper Salt Bean Curd (11) - H1 Empress Fried Rice (20.50) - P3 Shrimp & Chive Rice Noodle Roll (7.50) x2 - B1 Scallop with Tiger Shrimp Congee (12.50) - E3 Cantonese Chow Mein All these foods were pretty tasty, and spent overall about 130 for 6 people with some leftovers. Not bad for quality food. They also gave complimentary tea with tasted great, not too strong, and they were quick with tea refills, usually under a minute for them to come with a new teapot. Very friendly staff with quick and reliable service. We’ll be back! -
One of favourite places to get congee and other Asian food. If you know how to order or what to order, how they cook and season it is superb. It’s not too salty or not too sweet. I love coming back here. If you aren’t familiar with what to order, look at the other tables and see for yourself. I enjoy using my phone to order the phone. Ensures I get exactly what I ordered and I know the price at the end to pay. Service is quick. Doesn’t disappoint.
I love their lunch special. It's not cheap BUT very reasonably priced, as it's in a good portion and has everything I want - a main dish, rice, soup, snacks (spring roll), dessert (orange) and a drink. All items are put together very well. We ordered Sweet and Sour Pork and Bitter Melon Pork. Both are sticky items in Chinese cuisine, and I'm happy that they both have good authentic taste. The vibe and services are good. Most of the customers are older adults and families so the staff are trained to be patient and friendly. I recommend Congee Queen for anyone who is looking for a Chinese restaurant where you can bring your whole family.
