The food never disappoints at this place! We hadn't been in over a year and my husband wanted to go for his birthday in Dec, so we did. They take reservations so call ahead if you can. They are known for long waits. Totally worth the time and normally packed Since so close to Christmas we didn't have to wait. Portions are large so you'll have leftovers for sure. I only eat wonton soup from this place. Huge balls of shrimp filled wrappers. It's soooooo good and the bowl is humongous. About 12 large hunks of wonton in there stuffed with shrimp Service is also fast, lots of choices on the menu. Even the beverages are unique. From Bubble tea to Milo! Lol The severs in addition to speaking excellent Mandarin speak great English as well. So easy to get explanations of all the choices on the menu You won't be disappointed at this place. Tell them I sent ya! Lol read more

Anything less than 5 stars for this place is, I daresay, blasphemy Having grown up a few blocks from this place, I ate here almost on a weekly basis during my high school years. Virtually everyone I knew has good things to say about this place--the authenticity of the "wok" taste, the low prices, the homely/cozy atmosphere, the large menu with wide varieties of items, and perhaps most importantly, the fact that it opens well after midnight! No wonder parking is always a problem Even with the large number of chinese food places springing up in the Toronto area, this place has stood the test of time for many years! Definitely one of the places I always visit at least once whenever I visit Toronto read more

Yum. This is a classic Chinese restaurant, and you can't go wrong. I usually order the beef stomach in noodle soup (I like the flat rice noodles "ho fun") - it's just my favourite dish. My partner ordered the fried vermicelli dish with the orange sauce. Both were delicious, like always. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant itself was clean and COVID friendly. read more

You can never go wrong when getting food from Congee Wong. The food is always tasty, fresh and wonderful

Good food, reasonable prices, service is just okay or below average. I hope they change their attitude towards customer.

Sooo many choices on the menu, you can come anytime of the day and eat from breakfast to dinner.Obviously with the name congee in their name,you have to order their congee. Their serve is fast and efficient. Taste is pretty good but high on msg. Took the yin yang fried rice,it was huge and plenty of chicken and shrimp.. Minced beef congee was good.good consistency,texture,ingredients and taste. I was surprised to see they also serve clay pot rice. Simple. A bit of crunchy sticky rice on the bottom of the pot, well marinated short ribs. Beef and veggies ho fun, good. Service is faster and more efficient than mcdonalds!! I would recommend this place,as they have a such a big variety of choices in their menu,and the quality is pretty descent read more

We came in for lunch and there was no wait for the two of us. The wait staff was amazing it took only 5 minutes for the food to come. They served us the tea right away. The food was hot and delicious. We ordered the general Tao chicken. Not too spicy not greasy at all the sauce was perfect who created did she is really nice and gentle. Parking on the other hand is an issue little spaces and hard to get into. But well worth coming here. By the way one plate is good enough for two people. read more

Congee Wong - Rice dish, shrimp in rice paper and potatoes with a hot sauce dip - Chinese Near Me - North York, Ontario

Of all of the major Cantonese restaurants known for congee or has congee in its name, this one is like its name, the king of kings. Strangely, I usually do not order their congee here, but my friends and family alike both like their large portions, affordable prices, and consistently good comfort food. Location: 4/5 Although, the GPS is 10 Ravel Rd, it really is on the NE corner of Finch and Leslie plaza, a major intersection, so it's hard to miss. Parking here is not the easiest as there are a lot of Asian restaurants in this one single plaza, but fortunately there is usually always parking in the back if needed. Decor and Ambience: 4/5 Spacious, good lighting, no loud music, clean, many big round wooden chairs and tables for larger groups and booths for groups of 4 or less. It gives off a homey vibe, comforting and clean. Service: 4.5/5 They totally let you bring your own glass containers, so there is absolutely no reason not to be environmentally-friendly!! My beau and I got our combo within 10 minutes of ordering! That is so fast!! They were nice to give us extra ginger and onions without a fee. Everything was served neatly in the containers, all ready to go! No complaints! Food quality: 3.5/5 Nothing was salty or dry. Simple comfort food. Will order the broccoli dish as well next time, but the eggplant and tofu was a solid veggie choice and beef and eggs with shrimp were solid choices, too! Value: 5/5 Takeout combo special with 3 items, soup, and rice was only $46.32, so roughly $15/couple! Their portions are large since it needed 6 containers to fit all of the food! Large group and family friendly! Score! We drank Overall: 4/5 Love it here, because this place accept all forms of payment, good and fast service, large portions and affordable prices make this a go-to place for large groups!! The fact that they let you bring your own containers for takeout completely won my heart, since some other Chinese establishment may be a pick finicky or uptight about not letting you use credit cards or if they do, charge you more for it read more

Great late night fix for Chinese food! I love this place and so does my family. I've been coming here since I was a little kid and its so yummy! Pros: - Price: It's not expensive to eat here and the portions are big enough to share! Expect to eat family style! - Food: Food is good here and stays consistent. I've been coming here for years and the quality has always stayed consistent. Food can be a bit greasy though. Cons: - Parking: If you're coming on a Friday, Saturday/Sunday night, try and go early because the parking lot fills up quick! - Wait Times: There is usually a line up at the door with lots of people waiting. Try and go early if possible! Foods I like: - Congee: Congee with Pork Liver & Preserved Egg (You can add on any topping and this is bomb) - Dough Fritter: Great side dish to go along with the congee - Spicy & Pepper Squid: If you love squid and like salty food items, you'll love this! - Spicy Soft Shell Crab Fried Rice: It's not really that spicy and has a great kick read more

Congee Wong - Chinese Near Me - North York, Ontario

Left here having mixed feelings. We dropped by at 8pm on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was crowded. Although the restaurant was bustling, we waited for only about 10 minutes before we got a table for 2. It was nice to see that the restaurant let parties of 2 sit in booths that easily sat 4. Most smaller parties sat to the corners, while the larger parties sat in the middle of the restaurant. We were pretty much salivating at what we saw at the larger tables, so our expectations rose with every passing minute! All of the larger party tables had typical shared family style entrees on their tables. Unfortunately, since we were only 2 people, we couldn't order the breadth of what those large parties had on their tables, but we went with the item we saw the most on yelp, the Lobster with Ginger & Green Onion Chow Mein! We also ordered a side of Chinese Broccoli as well. To sum it up, the Lobster Chow Mein was disappointing. All of the disappointment was attributed to the fact that the noodle was too soft and chewy. It was an obvious sign that the Chow Mein was not fried enough. Good Chow Meins consist of crispy fried noodles and this had none of that.The lobster was good though and there was plenty of it in the order! The ginger flavor of the lobster meshed very well with the noodle, which sort of helped save the disappointing noodles. Some other observations we had were that, like many Chinese restaurants in North America, the service was quick and swift, but not extremely friendly. Also, the parking lot outside was pretty small, but spots opened up quickly. read more

I had high hopes for this place and was excited upon seeing and tasting my congee when it arrived. The Chinese donuts were hot and fresh and the congee had a good flavor to it. I have two simple tests for congee. 1. Does it have a good flavor without having to add chili oil or soy sauce. Most places just cook a giant pot of plain congee and then add the ingredients to order. The good places spend some extra time cooking the plain congee with the ingredients you chose so that the ingredient flavors are imparted to the plain congee. 2. Is the consistency good and does it stay good. Poor quality congee turns watery after a little while because it's cooked with starch and other binding agents to "shortcut" the slow simmer process Congee Wong passes the first test but fails the second one horribly. My congee basically turned into water half way in. Fail. read more

Consistent Cantonese cuisine that is comforting and great value. The portions are huge. They also have breakfast and lunch specials at great prices. (~$10) I come here all the time. My favorite are the tofu dishes like 红烧豆腐. They also have lots of homestyle stirfry and fried chicken/ribs 'fast food' options. The fried rice/vermicelli are all safe bets, I love their new multi-grain 'healthy' option for fried rice. Congee is decent but some are a bit too salty. Although they have a huge collection I don't really come here for the congee! read more

Congee Wong is one of the few places I would go out of the way for good congee. Staples include seafood congee and of course the fried dough. read more

Another fav of my fiance's family. Their radish cake is always crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.. really on point. Not too greasy either! We always order the party entree size of this dish for holiday parties or gathering! Never got a chance to try their congee or got to dine in in person. Next time I visit Toronto is a must! read more

As much as I enjoy Congee Queen, Congee Wong is the OG of congee in North York (IMO). Generous portions, tasty dishes, very reasonable prices for the amount and quality of food being served. Service is efficient. I can eat 2-3 meals from one order of fried noodles! How can you go wrong?! Afternoon tea is the best deal: From 3-5pm on weekdays, order a dish from the special menu and you get a free drink. You can choose from bubble tea, red bean with ice cream (it's like a red bean milkshake!), etc. read more

Congee Wong - Afternoon tea special includes bubble tea, red bean with vanilla ice cream, etc... With food orders! - Chinese Near Me - North York, Ontario

This place was super busy and popular so we thought we would give it a try. The food was very tasty and it came out quick as well. We literally, sat down, ordered and within 10 minutes, we had all the dishes that we ordered on the table. I liked the flavour of the food and found there was a good variety in the menu as well. The place itself could definitely use an upgrade but aesthetics aside I would recommend this place if you're in a rush or just craving some good old fashion Chinese food. Overall, portion sizes were huge, atmosphere was very typical for a Chinese restaurant and the food was on point! read more

I came here at 8 pm on a Wednesday night and was seated at a large table that could be shared with strangers. It was quite busy. Service is so so here. It's ok-fast and ok-friendly. I was told that congee places in Toronto are not as great as Vancouver so I was surprised as I found that this place was probably on par with the ones I go to in Vancouver. I got a thousand year egg and fish slice congee for $5.50. It was quite thick and had a lot of stuff in it. The fish was a little fishy. We also got an eel fried rice. I really liked this! It came with seaweed and bonito flakes on top. Although it did not have a lot of eel chunks, they were large sized, I would say. I have never had a Chinese style eel fried rice in Vancouver before, so this was awesome! I even had it for breakfast the next day. I might come again if I lived here. But since I'm only here for a few weeks I want to try as many different things as possible! I hear their afternoon tea deal is pretty good. read more

I ordered off their lunch menu and wow! The serving was quite amazing. On top of the generous amount of rice and chicken, they also served a spring roll, soup, and salad. The staff was quick and seated me immediately even if it was peak hour. I can't say the same with group of people, though, since I went alone. Will definitely come back to try out other dishes. read more

We went to this restaurant for a late night meal and we really enjoyed it. We ordered the snow peas and king mushrooms, tofu with Chinese broccoli, and seafood fried rice. The service was amazing and the portions were very big. The food was well flavoured, my favourite was the king mushroom and snow pea tips becuase the veggies were cooked to perfection, the stems were still a little crispy and colour was bright green and the mushrooms ha da slightly chewy meaty texture. Very satisfying, this meal really hit the spot! read more

So many of the traditional Cantonese dishes can be found here. From congee to fried rice to braised meat to noodles and everything in between. If you are thinking of any HK dishes, you will probably find it here. Our family comes here for comfort food when in the area. I recently got off a loooong flight from Europe and was immediately driven here for a late dinner. Didn't have much of an appetite but once the big steaming bowl of thick congee hit the table, I could eat a couple bowls of that comforting goodness. The service is brisk and the food comes out quick (the usual HK efficiency in play). Also, they are open later into the night (1am usually) so you can rely on them to satisfy those late night cravings for carbs. read more

Think four words - bugs in your food. How dirty is the kitchen is when the take out crispy tiger shrimp comes with roaches. Absolutely disgusting. Go ahead and take your chances. Lots of people rate it 4 stars. They must like the crispy critters. read more

Grew up going to this Congee Wong at Leslie/Finch. In my opinion, this is the original "Congee Queen". Ridiculous portions and prices. Don't expect top notch service as they are the quick and efficient type. Classic cantonese style food. My favourite is their fried rice noodles with shrimps and scrambled egg sauce. Also recommend always ordering the seafood congee & turnip cake appetizer. My sister says their sweet and sour pork are bomb too. read more

Once upon a time, there was a child who'd bravely endured a long, arduous journey up north to the magical land of Toronto. It was there that she'd feasted on hot, silken-smooth bowls of congee comforts. Since then, her Congee Wong breakfast had remained a reference point for cantonese fare. Been to Hong Kong/China multiple times since and still wasn't able to replicate the comfort eats that I had back at Congee Wong. When we returned on a roadtrip through Canada, we got duped by the "Chef Wong" but vowed the next day to visit the real thang. It was still as magical as I remembered, the pork + perserved egg congee was smooth and satisfying. What made it even more memorable was the plate of hot fried cruellers (油条/you tiao). I cannot tell you how many times I get super disappointed when other places bring out cold, stale ones. The garlic sauteed snow pea tips arrived fresh from the wok. The ginger scallion lobster arrived hot and had a nice touch of sweetness. All-in-all a no frills experience, a perfect meal from beginning to end. read more

I would give this a 3.5 stars. The congee was good itself but it was lacking a little flavor. As compared to other congee places (congee queen), it wasn't as good. The food items other then the congee were okay as well although all the other dishes were so greasy! As for the service, it was really good! They were very friendly and nice. The food came out very fast and hot as well. I would probably not revisit this congee place. I may recommend to a few friends but compared to other congee places, it doesn't meet the list. read more

DO NOT bother with this place if u plan to have dinner here as it is ALAWAYS crazy packed (unless u come at odd late hours). My fam & I always order take-out to avoid the chaos & getting majorly frustrated. All in all... we have had great service ordering take-out. They really listen to your instruction. ie: separate the sauce from noodles, less oil, etc. The price is quite good as well. Also I have been to the Richmond Hill location & the congee at RH is not as good as the one at the Leslie location. Must be smth in the water....:) I have a lot of fav dishes from this restaurant. Seafood with dry garlic fried rice, fried rice noodle roll with x.o sauce, plain congee (yes the plain is great!), etc. Everything's always yummy! I went here for lunch last week & was annoyed cuz they made us wait for a table even though there were a few tables/booth avail! Not sure if they are saving it for more VIP high tip paying regulars or what. I have pics to prove this :) Regardless of its idiotic wait staff, I still heart the food read more

We've ordered from Congee Wong before, but when we ordered from them recently we noticed a couple of different things. Firstly, they are no longer using styrofoam containers for their take out but using plastic containers. That's a bonus because the plastic containers can be recycled easier than styrofoam. We ordered several dishes: Scrambled egg & shrimp, wonton lo mein, yeung chow fried rice, peking style pork & crispy chicken. Everything tasted absolutely delicious. What I like about Congee Wong's food is that it isn't greasy, they give you a good amount of food, & have reasonable prices. read more

Was in the area and my parents decided to pop in here for a late lunch. Would have to say this time they were better at the service. There was a bit of a wait and super busy but we finally got a table. My mom complained she was cold (because our table was near the door) so she asked the waiter if we could move. Unfortunately he said there were people waiting so he couldn't move us. But after we ordered he came back and said we can move to a booth (nice guy). We decided to order the supreme super bowl congee, cantonese chow mein, three kinds stuffed vegetables (eggplant, tofu and green pepper), minced pork and dried fish green beans and fried chili turnip patties. The congee was good, lots of seafood variety with salmon, shrimp, crab etc. the cantonese chow mein was mediocre, it's my brothers fave so we end up ordering that but I felt the noodles were too crispy for my liking. Not enough sauce to put on the noodles. I enjoyed the fish patty stuffed peppers, green beans with the little fried fish and the turnip patties. I also had an HK milk tea which was brewed nicely. The food came quick, food was pretty good. I didn't see that Manager from the last crappy visit. Better service this time around from the nice waiter. Also the portions are good so we had lots of leftovers. I'm starting to become a regular here! read more

Very disappointed with the service, we ordered soup and it came cold to us. We asked the lady forearm it, and when she brought it back, she just dashed the dish on our table!!! We were not very happy with that. We did go back again, and the same server, same cold soup. Very, very disappointed. Hopefully, someone will read this and straighten things out. They also served our greens, absolutely cold, like it was sitting on their counter for hours!!!! read more

Congee(chicken, duck and egg Super Bowl $10) my go-to sore throat remedy. Very meaty and never lacking flavor like other congee places.

The meal included the Super Bowl congee, half crispy chicken, chinese donut in noodle roll, deep fried shrimp dumpling! Stuffed and satisfied!! read more

Ok this place is no joke! Be prepared during usually eating times to wait! A while even! The congee here is amazing! The food is super tasty and comes out so fast you wonder how many hands are back in their small kitchen! They even have a six grain congee with wild mushrooms! Sooooo good! Their noodles are to die for. Doesn't matter which ones you get, crispy, rice, thick rice... They're all amazing! I highly recommend making the drive out to this place. One of the best Chinese joints I've been to in a long time!! read more

I have been coming to this place for the last couple of years. It has been on and off, but it is good for when anyone has a cold or fever. Usually when sick, you would eat congee, and not many places beat this place in terms of congee. I always eat the special congee with seafood. If not this, then the lean pork with the thousand year egg. I can't say that there is much to the dish...i mean its congee...liquid rice with many other different ingredients to give it flavour. The problem with congee is that you will feel hungry after about 2 hours. You have to eat a lot to be full. We went when they were about to close. Service was pretty bad. They were beginning to sit down and eat their own dinner. I can understand...its been a long day, but when we have to wait 10 minutes, the impression isn't very good. I saw a guest waiting by the door while they were eating as they didn't look to the door. I guess I should go when it isn't about closing time. I cant really measure atmosphere. It was close to closing. Not many people. Overall, a good impression, but could have been better. read more

We were a party of four. When we arrived, they sat us at a booth on the right. The seats were way too low! We requested that we be sat on the left side booths and it was a lot better. We ordered preserved egg congee, lobster noodles and turnip cakes. Before we got the food, I noticed that my bowl was still dirty. Then, we noticed that a lot of our other bowls/glasses were dirty, we so had to ask to change those too. The congee was ok, but homemade is still better in my opinion. Lobster noodles were good. The turnip cakes were AMAZING! I could eat a whole plate of those and I'd die happy from overeating! 100% recommend. It theoretically doesn't sound that good, but it's truely delicious. The portions are huge and the price is good. If you're around, you should drop in. If you're not, you should still drop in just for the turnip cakes! read more

Congee Wong is a 50 cents cheaper version of Congee Queen. Their menus are almost identical in substance but the pricing differs by about 20-75 cents a dish, but unfortunately so does the quality. My favorite six grains and assorted fungus congee does not have as many of six grains as there are at Congee Queen, and I'd rather pay few cents more for my extra grains:)) The decor is also a lot simpler and more generic and the seating arrangement is not the greatest with booths lining the sides and round tables put just in front of the entrance, so new customers literally stand over the eating patrons. Other than that service is friendly and efficient, so it is ok to drop by for a late night snack or quick lunch, but my heart remains set on Congee Queen as it is really the queen of my congee. read more

I love Congee Wong. So authentic and affordable. This is my go-to congee place in Toronto. My friend and I came one time and we ordered the Seafood Super Bowl Congee ($15), which included shrimp, scallops, salmon, fish, squid, and crab meat. They don't skimp on the meat, so it's definitely a good deal. The huge bowl can easily feed 3 hungry people. My friend is a big 6'2" Iranian American and the bowl still looks huge. It's also very delicious, Hong Kong style. You know it's authentic when all the customers speak Cantonese, with plenty of old people. The parking lot is decent sized but it's always packed. read more

You can never go wrong with ordering some seafood congee. Whenever I go to any of these congee places, I must always taste their congee soups. I mean after all, it is in their name. My boyfriend and I decided to have lunch here. They have a lunch menu, in which you can order a main dish off of their specific list and it comes with a soup, veggies and a spring roll. He ordered the general Tao off the list and loved it. I'm not s fan of glazed and breaded chicken, but it wasn't too bad. I ordered a bowl of shrimp and scallop congee for both of us to share and sliced beef with bok choi. Both of us agreed that they make really really good congee. We basically devoured the soup. As for the beef, it was actually really tasty too. It was covered in their basic sauce, as the waitress said, and it went really well with the baby bok choi. I normally never finish anything at congee restaurants and feel terrible about it, but this time we nearly did! It is definitely a good place to have some lunch food. Plus, the waitress was really helpful and patient with us, because I could not decide what to get. She warned us that the plates were going to be big, which is to be expected, but still helpful. read more
