Went to this Congee queen at around 930 or so pm on a sunday. This is the flagship branch, and although i've been here many times before. I think this time it could be either we ordered something they are not very good with, or perhaps it is near closing time. So had ordered the bbq pork rice, which is pretty standard stuff. and the one that is one their feature new menu, the teriyaki seafood hot plate osaka noodle. The BBQ pork rice, was very dry, and it showed. however it was near closing time so i will give them that the bbq pork has probably been cooked since the beginning of the day, and i've had their bbq pork before at this location. it was not bad. This time however it wasn't good at all. so i would advise come earlier or during main dinner service times. The Teriyaki Seafood hot plate, was simply not a good dish. it tasted nothing like teriyaki. in fact it was soy sauce fried noodle, with very few seafood if any. And on top of that, it was simply just a salty flavor, not anything special at all. it felt like regular Chinese fried noodle. However this dish also costed 12.99 which is way overpriced for what they gave us. definitely would recommend against it to anyone. The service is quick and efficient, so no complaints. i would go to this location earlier during prime lunch or dinner hours, and you will probably receive better food. it is not a late night place you want to hit near closing. read more

Of the handful of times I've been to CQ, I've always had a positive food experience. It's a no-brainer place to hit up for a reasonably priced delicious Canto styled meal. Like the other reviews suggested, you must get the fried turnip! It's so good cause it's deep fried cubes of yummy turnip cake. Also the traditional minced pork and century egg congee is cheap and satisfying. I know it's perhaps an overlooked item but I like the tea they serve. It's fragrant and sufficiently steeped. The quality is consistent and the quantities are good. On a weekend, make sure you go early to avoid waiting. I like a bit of decor where I eat and they have both the good food and the decor which is unlike many Asian eating institutions where the food is the main focus and decor is a last thought. read more

Congee Queen - Delicious food: must have fried turnips and congee!! - Chinese Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

This place is such a gem. The servers are amazing. We came for dinner around 8:30pm and the place is hugeeeeee. We were seated at a small dinky table, had no complaints but when the server was taking out order- she moved us to a bigger table which was so nice of her to do. She moved us to a spacious booth so that all of our food could fit on the table. Most of the time, servers wouldn't even do that. They would just keep piling on the food on the small table but for her to take initiative and give us a bigger table was really great service. The restaurant was super clean and not too loud. Servers were everywhere so service was amazing. We ordered: House special congee. Large for 16.99 - surf clam, salmon, groupa, imitation crab, jumbo pieces of scallops and large shrimps. It was piping hot and delicious with the fried donut fritters. I love putting chilli oil, white pepper and soy sauce in my congee. It's delicious on its own too. We ordered the fried chilli turnips, oh it was heavenly. So fresh and just the perfect blend of flavours. Definitely my favourite to order. Crispy on the outside and piping hot mushy ness inside. We also ordered the fried tentacles, it was alright. I thought it would be battered and fried but it was just the tentacles fried. It was definitely a bit overdone but still good. Another dish that we ordered was the sirloin fat noodles. The sirloin beef was so juicy and tender. Melt in your mouth gooodness. Seasoned very well but the whole dish itself was a bit tooo salty for my liking. I don't think I would order this dish again. We also ordered a honeydew milk bubble tea which was not too great. Tasted like powder. Wouldn't recommend. Anyways that's all for now. Happy eating fellow helpers! read more

We ordered the following: wonton soup - 3/5- soup base had a lot of msg but the wonton skin was thin and there was a shrimp per a wonton house special eel fried rice - 5/5 this was pretty much everyone's favorite and the flavor was delicious shrimp walnut with mango salad - 4/5 this was delicious but not enough shrimp deep fried turnips- 3/5- this was good but a bit dry, was expecting hoisin sauce on the side Overall, definitely would come back! read more

I've written a review on a different location and I can vouch for consistency between locations. The food is always good and comes out fast. It's always a good value. This particular location, however, has always impressed me with their service. Every visit has been consistent. The servers have always been courteous, efficient and very attentive. It was worth mentioning. read more

If you ever wanted to come to a restaurant for some classic Chinese Cantonese food, then Congee Queen is place to go. For all the times over the years I have ate at Congee Queen, there is one thing that they always do right: Good customer service. Out of all the Chinese restaurants I have eaten at, the servers at Congee Queen want to provide the best for their customers. When I went to have a nice meal with my friends, I was very impressed with the service we received. They were very attentive and quick on their feet in terms of whenever out tea pot required a refill. That was very nice. I have not received amazing service for a very long time. In terms of the food, I feel like I'm back in Hong Kong whenever I take a bite into the dishes. There is a vast selection of food, even extending to Thai and Viet specialties. Expect to see the standard dishes on the menu (Fried Rice, Fried Noodles, Congee, Stir Fried DIshes) and you will not be disappointed for any selection you make. In terms of dishes I would recommend, try ordering the Stir Fried Turnip Patties, Seafood Congee, or the Salt and Pepper Squid. So , the next time you want to have a nice , flavourful, and fresh meal, then don't hesitate, Congee Queen is the place to eat. read more

It is really nice inside, and I got a hoot from the place mat which told you precisely where to place the plate and bowl (not that the wait staff followed its directions). We ordered several dishes to share - Chilli Turnip Patties $5.50 Minced Beef Congee $4.25 BBQ Pork R.N. Roll $2.99 House Super Congee $9.95 (Large) Pork & Preserved Egg Congee $4.25 Soya Sauce Chow Mein $6.25 Fritter $3.20 For me, the stand out dish was the turnip patties (more like cubes) with its creamy inside and crispy outside. Another diner however voiced that he would have preferred it fried up with more ingredients (ie. shrimp), instead of the mini tidbits that arrived adorning the turnip cakes. Actually, that also caused me to deem this a four star spot. Everything else was fine. Oh, and the large congee is indeed LARGE. read more

Congee Queen is a local staple and favorite for Chinese food. Congee Queen offers multiple locations for convenience throughout the GTA. Although these locations carry the same name, I have heard and noticed slight differences in their dishes. My dad and I ordered Empress Fried Rice, Cantonese Chow Mein, and Half BBQ Duck. The BBQ Duck and Cantonese Chow Mein tasted and were made exceptionally well. Although, I noticed a difference in their Empress Fried Rice. At the Congee Queen on Hwy 7, their Empress Fried is more savoury because they top it off with some sauce and contains more eel. Service was very good. Our server was quick and polite. The speed in which we got our food was unusually fast, but I'm not complaining. It wasn't as busy as I expected when we arrived around 5. It got busier once we left at 6. Overall, food tasted great, speed and service was incredibl, and dishes are affordable. read more

Congee Queen - Chinese Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

Came here with my family. We have been accustomed to the Congee Queen in Promenade Mall for years and so we came here for the first time just to try it out. We ordered the same things that we ordered at that restaurant and we were not disappointed. We had around four dishes and we were all full after that, we have leftovers. My favorite dish was the turnip patties because they were hot and fresh. Turnip patties were really good, hot & fresh. Service was okay, nothing special though. Would definitely come back here due to the atmosphere and how fast the food came out. read more

Casual delicious dining. Can get quite noisy when it's packed. Quick takeout service.

We ordered this fish dish which charged $23 dollar, though it will worth the money, but surprisingly it tasted so so so fishy, can't even swallow it, I tried to eat few more pieces because don't want to waste it, but I can't swallow my second piece, even now we already back to our hotel room, I still taste this fishy smell from my mouth. I did told the staff who then came back later and told us that this from a FRESH fish, hahaha not sure how can a piece frozen sea bass can be so fresh when you can't even swallow it. And I even found a piece of plastic from this dish. What a terrible experience in this restaurant read more

We ordered food from here using their app and were told that the food would be ready approximately 25 minutes later. Upon arriving at the restaurant at the expected time we found the food wasn't ready and the order itself wasn't being started until we paid. So we ended up standing around waiting for an hour for our food to be ready, something we wanted to avoid by using their app to order ahead of time. While we were waiting we made friends with a number of other folks in the same situation: ordered food via the app, waiting for over an hour. In the midst of the lineup of people there were people there ordering in-person. These orders for some reason were completed ahead of all of the ones done by the app. Very disappointing. read more

Simple, comforting. Food: 4/5 Yummy Service: 4/5 Efficient. Environment: 4/5 Clean. Washrooms: 4/5 Pretty good. Worth it?: 4/5 I have been coming here for years. Can't believe I didn't have a review for this already. I used to come here with family as a kid. Since then they have opened several locations and they are pretty consistent. My favorite items are the chili squid and fried turnip cakes. Actually, all my favorites are in the menu as full page photos. Makes it super easy to order. I will continue to stop by no and again. I find this place quite comforting. read more

This Congee Queen never disappoints! Spacious, uncluttered, well air conditioned restaurant with meals that are noticeably a cut above other congee houses. I always order the same things here: pork and century egg congee - well seasoned congee and their pork is so tender, like it's been braised for hours. beef *see choy* hor fun - these noodles are so silky smooth and flavourful, i just can't get enough! Also comes in *black bean* and *waat daan (smooth egg)* varieties, which are both delicious. BBQ Eel fried rice - if you've never tried this, the bbq eel tastes like the ones you'd get from eel sushi, and the rice is of a perfect firmness level, whereas other places can often serve mushy rice. Just remember to order it like a true fob and call it "eel fly lice!" There is lots of free parking in the plaza, which is also home to Tim Hortons, Food Basics, Shoppers Drug Mart, and a TD bank. read more

The decor is nice! I like the tables and cutlery. The food is delicious. I go here once or twice a month. Specially when I am hungover, I always resort to their soup to restore me back to life. I recommend the wonton soup, chef's special rice, bbq duck and mango slushy WITH tapioca. Don't forget to ask for your fortune cookie at the end ! -Don't order take out. They serve you half of the portion of what it should be. You will be disappointed like me (only did it once) read more

Congee Queen was our go-to place during the 2016 summer when friends overseas came to visit. I feel like anything you order will be served quite fast and will taste delicious. However one instance last December... a small cockroach sneaked in the water pot and came out to one of our cups, boiling and resting in peace. My conclusion - the dirtier the kitchen, the better tasting the food. Food server apologized and replaced our hot water. Y read more

I've been Coming to the congee queen restaurants chain since high school days (6+) years? It's always been a great place with great comfort food that doesn't break your bank. This place reminds me of keungs delight where there are many Cantonese dishes. Their dishes tend to have a lot in portion and is on the bigger side. This place is pretty big with lots of seating, but this place gets pretty busy during prime hours and even late at night like 9-10! The selection is so wide and there's so many to choose from. Some of my favourite include the turnip patties, their congee, salted and peppered squid, and many of their fried rices are super good too. The environment is really nice and spacious with bright lights. Servers are super quick and so is the food. They're a bit rude sometimes but amazingly efficient. read more

This was the first of currently, many Congee Queens that was built before more stores came out, now being the Chain Styled Restaurants. When Congee Queen first opened, it was a real hype - with a long wait time and delicious food. After this location became successful, there are tons of Congee Queens that opened up across the GTA, that you can get Congee Queen somewhere near you. There's a small space to wait, so be prepared if you see a lot of people near the doors. When I first came here, I would give this place a four or five star, but after opening up so many restaurants, I'm not sure if the Head Chef moved to a different branch because the food doesn't taste as great as before, and prices have began to rise a little more than usual. I really enjoy their eel fried rice or salmon fried rice. It comes in a big portion and has small bits and pieces of eel and salmon nestled inside the rice. In addition, we come here for clams - their quality is fairly good and the meat in the clams are large. read more

I'm actually a big fan of this place, even though it was my first time going there (I know.. am I even FROM the GTA?!) It was late, I was sick and I wasn't feeling up to par to cook something. My boyfriend was reluctant to go here with me because he told me he visited it during his high school days (over 10 years ago... wow, oldie!) and he said it was "ratchet and disgusting" But after we walked in, apparently they did a whole new reno because it looked pretty good to me! It was clean, and the workers were attentive. They came right away and they were quick bringing out everything. None of them were rude (though I've heard of accounts of this here), they were actually really smiley and happy even though it was late. We ordered pork & preserved egg congee (fave!!) and some turnip patties (Don't like them, but he does), dough fritters and a mango pudding at the end. It was all very good, and not TOO salty. Yum Yum! Only $21 for the entire thing. I'm down for congee queen again! read more

Writing an update on Congee Queen, I'm glad to report that it's still consistently good even after couple of years. The chairs have gotten roughed up along the edges but the place maintains a clean and modern feel. Great choice for family gatherings. Anyways, the food is superb!! Today we ordered a shrimp congee, house special vermicelli, and lemon chicken.. result? everything was spiced, breaded and salted bang on the chefs know how to prepare, (just note though: this is east coast so don't come in expecting the freshest seafood. frozen shrimps and scallops but preparation was good.) We've been coming here over the years I've noticed the specials menu changes every so often and now noticed they have added lunch combos. I'm glad to see a restaurant making these changes, subtle but regular patrons notice. There are too many restaurants out there that just offer the same boring menu day in and day out. Oh if you were wondering about the Congee.. after all it's in their restaurant name.. it's as smooth as silk. :) Congee Queen is a definite recommend read more

Came here with my family and ordered a bunch of dishes to share. We got: 1) Seafood congee with fried cruller 2) Fried turnip patties 3) Singapore-style fried vermicelli 4) Weekly special of ordinary sizzling beef stir-fry Everything was really great! Judging by the other reviews, the turnip patties are very much a must-order! They were so delicious - crunchy on the outside, flavoured so well, and smooth and soft on the inside. I'm dying to order them when I go back again! The congee was also very good (of course) and the fried cruller was fresh. The vermicelli was better than your typical Chinese stir-fried noodles so I would definitely order it again as well. read more

Congee Queen serves up unique congee creations in addition to other Chinese dishes. The fried dough in rice noodle wrapping is pretty impressive. But the winner is that it's one of the few places in the Toronto burbs that has a nice and clean venue and also accepts credit cards. read more

Great quality dimsum items and good prices! I tried some of their congee, as well as dimsum items and they came quickly, and were hot. The fried dough wrapped in rice noodle roll, one of my favourite items, was made well here as the dough was crispy and the sauce was on the side. Overall good value, but my favourite place for Chinese dishes/dimsum all day is still House of Gourmet. read more

Congee Queen - Overload again of delicious food! - Chinese Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

I went here twice in two days... because I didn't have a car and it was the only place I could walk to from my aunt's house. It was either that or Wimpy's or Tim Horton's in the same plaza. Give me some credit. It was -15C when I walked. That's cold for a California boy like me. I was pretty impressed. Modern interior, bright, clean. It's HK cafe food, with an emphasis on congee (which I found out Toronto has a number of congee chains, something Los Angeles doesn't have). About 30 different congees to choose from, from about $4.75 and up. Up is $16.50 for a large bowl of Rock Crab Meat and Vegetarian Shark Fin Congee served in a Pumpkin Hot Pot. I opted for something more sexy and exotic... the Chicken and Duck congee for $5.25. Don't forget to order the you-tao (fried dough) for $1.70 to go with your congee. Fried Tofu in Spice and Pepper Salt. I love fried tofu. This was done well. Diced jalapenos, red peppers and garlic mixed in with a generous amount of crispy fried tofu chunks. It was so intriguing that the African Canadian girl that was on a first date sitting next to me had to try one. Beef with Black Bean & Green Peppers Fried Noodles. This was standard HK fare. It's really busy here on the weekends. You'll probably have to wait 15-30 minutes. Good food, reasonable prices. read more

decent food. I hav read the good reviews online, so with high expectation, I put it on my taste list on this Toronto road trip from London. Honestly, it didn't meet my high expectation... We ordered the HK typhoon lobster, which is no.1 chef's recommendation, I felt it tasted so weird (although can't say it's not good). It is definitely not the traditional dish, however my bf liked it. Congee was very good, pork liver cooked to the right texture. read more

Read this as 4.5 stars. I was so shocked that I got seated in about 5 minutes when the place was PACKED. I thought to myself, OH NO. Why did I decide to come here. It looked nice from the outside and I thought give it a go. It was a good decision! The place was packed and the tables were so close to each other unless you got a booth, which I did not. This is just a minor issue so .5 stars off. Food was on point and delicious. Ordered many chicken dishes like the soya chicken, minced chicken soup and the general tao chicken. All were great dishes. Service was fast and food came out lightning speed! I was expecting to wait awhile. Overall, great experience for chinese food. I must have caught them on a good night. 4.5 stars. read more

Congee Queen - Soya Chicken Chicken soup General Tao - Chinese Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

Being a fan of congee, Congee queen is my 'go-to' place in Markham for chinese food. My family and I rarely go out to eat but when we do, this is the place we go. Once you order, the food comes quickly from the kitchen. Service is normal for the amount of people that are in the restaurant. Wait times are usually decent too, around 10-15 minutes for a table of 5. The environment is always loud and you will hear dishes clattering, but that is typical of an Chinese restaurant. As for the food, I usually order one bowl of small congee (enough for 5 people). Their 6 grain congee is health in a bowl. It can be a bit more on the bland side, but it is a good break from some of their other oily options. Their fried oysters are usually a staple in our congee queen order. The Pan fried turnip cakes are usually a hit or miss; they can come out golden brown or just sallow. Overall, a good place if you want to go to a sit down restaurant and be in and out quickly. read more

We arrived in Toronto for the first time. Our friends took us here and it was really good. Food was a 5 (sorry no pictures), we had Hong Kong style lobster, Singapore noodles, shrimp with mango, and a mushroom dish. Service was a 3.5 workers didn't speak English and didn't even understand. 5 of us asked for more napkins and they brought us 2 (weird). They just didn't act friendly read more

Avoid this place. Service is terrible with servers making fun of people and being rude. The food was decent, but servers have attitude when serving. They think that non Chinese people can't understand them, but when you are visibly laughing at us and passive aggressively ask us to leave to turn tables, these are things we notice. This place used to be much busier, and it shows. I won't be coming back. read more

I never understood congee, isn't it just over boiled rice? I can make that at home! Congee Queen is the place to go for asians. They love it. I can see why. the service is fast and friendly. The food is good and cheap. The location is clean and bright. Too many selections will keep you scratching your head for a while. drinks are a tad overpriced so stick with the water and tea. read more

Good portion and affordable pricing. This place is always packed so make sure to make a reservation if you expect a bug group of people.

3.5/5, +.5 for service Typical Congee Queen quality, which is always a high standard. I don't come down to this location often, as the Highway 7/McCowan location is closer to where I live. However I was nearby so I decided to visit here instead. This Congee Queen is a bit smaller than the other branches, but it's also not as busy (but still quite busy). There's more mandarin speaking people who come to this branch, for what it's worth. I ordered the pad thai and the fried turnip patties. The pad thai is obviously not authentic, but for the price and portion (and honestly, quality as well) you get I'll gladly take it. Their fried turnip patties are one of their specialties, and I strongly believe that dish is done very well there. You can order it with red chili or not; I go without because I'm not spice tolerant. Again, their portions are big, to the point two dishes can probably fill three stomachs. However, the clientele in this branch isn't as good as up north. I had a close call with a baby where their parents didn't bother controlling him, and the baby came very close to touching my teapot with his face while playing around on the booths... Service is very good here. It's easier here to wave someone down since there's enough staff to cover the whole place. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Price is decent, portions sizes are huge and service is fast and decent as to be expected from an establishment like this (skip the chit chat just get to the order). Every time I have eaten here i have never regretted it. Sure sometimes the food can be a tad bit salty but there has never been an occasion where I was not able to alter the dish to my preference a bit. My favorites are the Cantonese Chow Mein, the turnip, the dim sum ho-fun and the greenbeans fried with some shrimp. I'm told the Salmon fried rice is good but never had it so that's next. The place can get pretty busy so its always nice to go off-peak rush hours so you can enjoy but even when its busy the food comes out pretty fast and service remains relatively the same. The waits can be long for a table if it busy but if you are patient and can weather the tiny waiting hall then you will not be disappointed. This is the flagship location and the one I prefer although I have eaten at the Centerpoint Mall location and was equally satisfied. BRB I need find a ride there NOW!!! read more

Congee Queen has been a favourite of ours for many, many years, especially when looking for quick, casual, non-bland Chinese food. They have an exceptional quality/quantity to price ratio aka pretty cheap. Opens late too. This location near Don Mills/Steeles is usually pretty consistent, both in terms of the dishes they roll out and the service they provide. You don't really come here for fantastic service, as it's all about being speedy to fulfill hunger. Order something and it'll be in front of your face on the table within 5 minutes. Line ups can be ridiculous during dinner hours. Weekdays included! Prepare to get a ticket. Also it gets loooud here. Plates, chatter, all that jazz. Recommendations: shrimp and scrambled egg fried rice noodles (huge portions, mix it well), turnip cakes (the best, love the shrimp and egg they add into the fried mix), black bean sauce beef noodles, the yin-yang style shrimp/chicken tomato/cream dish, kung pao chicken. read more

Congee Queen is my new go-to Chinese food restaurant. The service is fast, food tastes great and portions are huge! My two favourite dishes are Yeung Chow Fried Rice and Diced Sirloin Golden Bowl. Their fried rice is probably the best I've ever had in Toronto - delicious and not greasy or salty. The amount you get is good for 3-4 people. The sirloin dish comes with mixed vegetables and is presented nicely in a crispy wonton bowl. Other great items include their pad thai, beef with black bean and vegetables, spice and pepper salt squid and fried turnip. They have several different locations including North York, Markham, Scarborough and more, so be sure to check them out when you're craving for some Chinese food! read more

My parents took my husband and I to Congee Queen recently. They had been there before and said the food was great. They were right, the food was excellent. We ordered Sliced Beef Congee ($4.75), Chinese Dough Fritter ($1.70), Shrimp and Chive Rice Noodle Rolls ($4.25), Cantonese Chow Mein ($10.25), Fried Tiger Shrimp and Chicken with Mango ($13.50), Fried Chili Turnip Patties ($5.95), and a bowl of steamed rice ($1.50). Which by the way, was way too much food for 4 people. We ended up with a box of leftovers. I'm not a fan of congee, but the Sliced Beef Congee was not bad. It had ample slices of tender beef and it wasn't too salty. I didn't eat any of the dough fritter because I don't want to waste my calories on fried dough (must be an acquired taste), but my parents enjoyed dipping it into the congee. The Shrimp and Chive Rice Noodle Rolls were quite good. You get 3 rolls which look like white rolled up blankets with shrimp stuffed inside. They had decent sized shrimp in them and the rolls weren't overly oily/greasy. I love Rice Noodle Rolls but my husband refused to eat any because the texture is gooey. If you don't like tapioca pudding, rice pudding, or bubble tea, you will likely not like Rice Noodle Rolls. The Cantonese Chow Mein was acceptable, but nothing outstanding. Not a ton of meat, but not too stingy either. The noodles were not as crispy as I would have liked, but the sauce was good (not gelatinous like at some restaurants). Fried Tiger Shrimp and Chicken with Mango was too sweet for my liking. The shrimp and chicken are battered and then deep fried (sort of like General Tao Chicken). I did enjoy the fresh mango pieces in the sauce though. The Fried Turnip Patties were so tasty. Pan fried pieces of turnip and flour mixture, mixed with egg, shrimp, chicken and pickled veggies. This dish has a spicy kick to it, so be forewarned. You can even see the flakes of chili if you look closely. Really flavourful and a nice combination of spicy, savoury and tangy (from the pickled veggies). Loved it! If you are in Thornhill, you should definitely give this Congee Queen a try. There are other locations (which I have not been to), but the Thornhill one is their "flagship store," so I would imagine that it's the nicest. Service was good. They forgot our steamed rice, but quickly brought it when we reminded them. They refilled our waters without us having to ask. And they came over to check many times about our food allergies/intolerance. They were being very careful, which I appreciated. Decor is very modern and clean looking. Washrooms are very clean. The restaurant is in a strip mall so there is lots of parking. We left very full and happy :) read more
