[[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as you enter you see the duck and lechon hanging in the glass case and you know it's a legit spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To the right is the restaurant and the left is an area for pick-up and to-go orders. As we walked towards the right side and waited, they provided us with a number and we waited about 5 minutes before they called on us. Everything we ordered was great, but what stuck out the most was the fried squid and greens with mushrooms that were not on the dim sum menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place seemed traditional with the Asian decor and the round tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Although the service was lacking, I'd definitely come back.

BBQ is very good and is my go to spot. the dim sum is so-so , I've had both good and poor experiences here

There's nothing magic about this restaurant. I came here with my family on a Sunday around 12:00pm with a reservation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can check items off their menu but they also bring around special dishes that you can order from. Taste wise, it was just mediocre. My least favorite was the chicken feet. I do not recommend.

Can't say enough about this place. Food is always hot and fresh. Staff has been there for years. The selection is quite vast and dinner for 2 can feed 4! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always welcoming and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Dim Sum Menu

There are not that many options for dim sum in Mississauga, so when searching Yelp for suggestions, this came up. We haven't been to this restaurant since it was Sam Woo, so we decided to try out their dim sum offering. We arrived at about 9:15 AM on a Tuesday for their happy hour special. Their special happy hour prices are available from Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and from 2:00 PM to 3:45 PM. During these times, everything is $5.38 except for their $8.00 dishes. If you order medium size dishes and up it is worth it. We ordered a large variety of dishes including many of the typical dim sum offerings like sui mai, har gow, BBQ pork buns, deep fried taro, and rice noodle rolls. The food was pretty good and on par with other dim sum restaurants and all were hot, except for a couple which were deep fired. The service was quick as well, and we received all our dishes in a short amount of time. There were a couple of times when waiters did try to give us dishes that we did not order, and we had to tell them that it wasn't ours. Overall, the dim sum experience here is pretty good, and the quality and selection of the dishes was what we had expected. I am still on a search for the best dim sum in Mississauga, but would return here.

We really like to come to this place, it's the only restaurant we currently go to when we want dim sum or to bring guests to. It's very convenient that we are able to make reservations even during the dim sum hours, which is great because there is usually a long line up outside. The tables are large and round and can easily accomodate a large crowd. The only problem id say is that service can be slow so if you are in a hurry you might find yourself in a pinch.

I was there around lunchtime (11:30) on Sunday. After the entrance door to the right was their restaurant (dine-in) space, and to the left was a space for the deli & pick-up orders. They were both packed! Of course, I was there to try their XLB but decided to order a couple of more dim sum items as the price was affordable (around $6-7 for size M items) and cash-only for orders under $15 and I had no cash. While waiting, I saw people coming in and out to take out pre-ordered food, most of which were BBQ items (pork, duck, etc). They were freshly cut at the deli counter. The cook picked the meat from the BBQ display case beside him and chopped them in front of me and put them fresh in the take-out container and on the plate for eat-in customers. Looked juicy, and apparently, BBQ meat is their signature item! My order was - Xiao Long Bao (XLB, pork) - Vegetable steamed dumplings (mushroom and snow pea leaves in transparent wrapping) - Rice noodles with shrimp The XLBs were disappointing as it looks machine-made/wrapped with starchy thick skins. The soup tasted ok, and the meat filling was good, but probably I will not order this anymore. The rice noodle was impressive, the noodle was soft, smooth, and silky and had a generous amount of big bouncy whole shrimps inside. It was less than $7? Great deal. The vegetable dumpling was also good with smooth skin and the size was big. The stuffing tasted good, I thought there could be more - but a reasonable amount for the price. Lovely to see many multi-generational families enjoying the meal around the table. If you like a quiet place, this is not the place. But their reasonable pricing, relaxed atmosphere, and lively noise. Felt great vibes in this place.

This is one of only a few places left in Mississauga serving Dim Sum so four of us came here today. Ordered 11 dishes; (S) $4.88, (M) $5.88, (L) $6.70, (XL) $7.95, (SP) $9.45 Service was quick. Cost averaged $21 pp with taxes not including tip.

I had a late lunch here. The service is great and food came out quickly. An AWSOME restaurant!

Braised chicken feet, ha gow, siu mai, bean curd, and curry cutterfish
Kassie N.

Pretty good dim sum restaurant, I was impressed with the ha gow, siu mai, and curry cuttlefish. The braised chicken feet and turnip cake were only okay because they were dry and lacking flavour. The shrimp cheung fan was made in house and they were so silky and plump -- it was the star dim sum dish.

BBQ Pork on rice with a side of bok choy.
Maddy S.

Magic BBQ & Seafood just opened in what used to be Sam Woo. I was sad to see that restaurant close, but once I heard this place opened & heard good things from friends, I knew I had to go. Seeing as the full restaurant & kitchen is not open as of yet (due to COVID-19), the takeout area is all that is available. I ordered the BBQ Pork on rice (other options: roast pork, roasted duck, tofu, soya sauce chicken, cuttlefish). The pork was tender and very flavourful! It was served over white rice, and a side of bok choy. The bok choy was nothing special - very bland. I wish they would give another choice for vegetable, or at least add garlic or some sort of spice to the bok choy. Otherwise, the dish is 5/5! The staff were very friendly, and I'd be happy to come back. ** I can't rate this on the full menu or dining experience, but I will update or provide an update once restaurants can open fully and I can come back.

The serving area, the tables, and even the bathrooms are pristine. The food quality and variety is great. They offer all the normal stuff you see at a Chinese buffet plus extras like Maple flavored meatballs and wings. The sushi section is a little smaller than others but gets the job done. The desert section is incredible and you will want seconds. Try the maple ice cream!

Was provided a hot lemon infused cloth to clean up prior to going up to the stations to eat. Cup never emptied without an ask for refill. Very attentive the entire time. We were sat in the 'C' dining area area. There were room upon room so there's plenty of seating. Each room with a slightly different theme. Ours had a wall of beautiful fish tanks. The dining area, food stations and bathrooms were all very clean, which is so important at a buffet. They even have gloves at the end of each station in case you didn't want to touch the serving utensils with your bare hands. The variety of food goes from everything you can imagine at a Chinese buffet like sushi and fried rice to American options like burgers and fries, to surprises in-between like New England clam chowder and prime rib. Tons of dessert- hard ice cream, cakes, pies, fruit, jello, even Crème brûlée and waffles. One of my favorite surprises was the variety of mocktails. Most places offer me pop as a mocktail or a Shirley Temple at best. Decent pricing. Father's Day special dinner menu was $50/pp (Canadian) about $36/pp (American) which is pretty great for all you get and that's WITH their high tax. I believe the refular pricing is about $10/pp less. A must try only 30 minutes from Western NY.

They were quite busy with takeout orders which I took as a good sign. We ordered the Beef Sirloin Noodles level spicy and numb(4/5), Breaded Shrimp (5/5) Seafood Fried Rice (4/5) and Lamb Skewers (4/5). Beef Sirloin Noodles were delicious. The broth itself was not overly salty compared to other places we've been to. I enjoyed the addition of peanuts to this dish for that extra crunchy texture and nutty taste. The noodles were cooked perfectly. They were bouncy and chewy. The beef itself was good. Some were a tad bit chewy. I wish there was more bok choy. We'd also opt for extra spicy and extra numb next time. Breaded Shrimp was enjoyable. You can't go wrong with this dish. It was crispy, and the batter to shrimp ratio was decent. Seafood Fried Rice was good as well. Again, we liked how it wasn't overly salty. We were able to sense the taste of the seafood. I wish they added more scallops since we only got two pieces in the whole dish. Lamb Skewers were satisfying flavour-wise. We really liked the seasoning on them. It was on the chewier side but it was manageable. We'd like to try their other skewer options next time. Overall, such a good spot for affordable and delicious food. I'm glad my family recommended this place. I'd like to point out that a customer was being problematically entitled and rude yet the female server stayed professional. I thought she handled the situation quite calmly which I wanna commend her for. P.S. The restaurant has a sign on their door saying not to bring pets inside. So please read this and try not to bring your pet inside to avoid looking entitled and rude.

It is a nice local spot to get your Chinese food cravings fixed. Their menu seems to be the same for all locations, the only difference being the price, all locations potentially the same other than the downtown location. See their website: https://www.congeequeen.com/menu.php and select your location. It has been a while since we have eaten at the Congee Queen outside of the Toronto (Dundas/Yonge) location, so we were a bit surprised at the price difference (8-10% difference). This location (Heartland Town Center) feels like it has the right price for the menu. With cash, you also get a 10% discount. We were here on a Wednesday for an early dinner around 15:30 - 17:00 and it was about medium full for the main area. People were coming and going at a good pace. For our group of four, we ordered: - B3 Salmon Congee $11 ($12 downtown) - H11 Chicken Salted Fish Fried Rice $18.25 ($19.75 downtown) - K34 Fried Bean Curd with Veggie $19.50 ($21.50 downtown) - K42 Salt and Pepper Squid $16.50 ($18.25 downtown) - K53 Fried Chili Turnip Cakes $13.75 ($15.00 downtown) Service was a bit slow, but not the longest as there were only 2-3 staff taking orders that day for about 15-20 tables. If you signaled for assistance, they will come. Once ordered thought, the food came out in about 5 mins and all the dishes were ready soon after. Tea is refilled on request, just ask. As usual, the fried rice and congee is what they are known for, it was excellent as usual. Depending on the group you go with, YMMV, but for our order combination, this usually works comes out at the same time and everything is hot and tasty. The turnip cakes are the softer type and they even accommodated checking for shrimp. They are usually good about seafood checks. All in all, great experience. With the discount and tips all in, it was less than $100 total at $25 per person. It has been a while since we've eaten out with a group at that price point. Will keep in mind to meetup at any of the non downtown locations in future.

The Queen has become sloppy…read more Congee Queen has long been one of our family's go-to restaurants. So for a family occasion, we headed again to the Heartland location with its distinct high ceiling resembling cool porcelain. This place was packed as usual with a waitlist register at the front. We didn't wait long to be seated but the service and dishes were generally disappointing. After dropping off a pot of tea, no one bothered to check in on us again. While we usually have the super bowl congee, the exorbitant prices nowadays for porridge that we can make at home with a blender is difficult to justify. Instead we had Empress Fried Rice ($22) that was served like slop but was still nicely balanced between sweet unagi glaze topped with bonito flakes. We cleaned the sides to make it more presentable for our meal. The dishes that followed next were hit & miss on the seasoning. Sweet Corn Garoupa Fillet ($24.25) was served with the battered fish along side a cup of thick corn soup but lacked flavour whether we dipped in the soup or not. Similarly the Mixed Fungus & Fried Gluten in Hot Pot ($24.25) was also light on flavour despite being one of our usual go-to dishes here with good variety of mushrooms. While Stir Fried Sirloin with Rice Roll in Satay Sauce ($18.75) was quite savoury with a good amount of sirloin chunks but too salty. Skip it or hit it? For a $100 meal, we'll be thinking twice about whether to visit this location again.

This location is on the small side and the seating is quite limited. That said, whenever we come here Sunday afternoons, we never have trouble getting tables during walk-ins. The staff is always attentive and we never have to wait for much long for the food to come. They always ask you if you want water or tea. Usually also get a bowl of seaweed soup with your order (per person) though this time around we didn't get any. We ordered a lot for dinner. For appetizers, we ordered the braised pork pan-fried buns, which were amazing. The bun was really fluffy, and the filling was flavourful and just the right amount of juicy. We also had chive pork dumplings. These were also good, though I admit I prefer the pan-fried ones. In particular, our dumplings came out kind of gummy. We had some scallion pancakes which were nice and crispy, and very flavourful. Then, some dried beancurd sticks that were just the right amount of spiciness. Do keep in mind the beancurd sticks are cold (it surprised me the first time I had it). Finally, we had some honey garlic chicken wings. They fry their chicken wings really well, and they don't overdo the sauce which is great. We did have trouble fitting all of this on the table since we ordered so much. We managed, but just keep this in mind if you like to order a lot of appetizers. We each ordered a main. My boyfriend had the lemongrass chicken with egg on rice, which he enjoyed. I also enjoyed my Taiwanese braised pork. My pork dish was amazing and they cooked the egg really well. The portions here are very generous, and because it's affordable, I always recommend dropping by for some good Chinese food.

The space here is definitely smaller but seating was still very comfortable. Ordering is done via QR code through phone. The staff was friendly and service was quick and prompt. I do want to say that their pricing is very fair and reasonable. There is also free parking in front of the restaurant. I was missing my time in Taiwan so I ordered the Taiwanese Braised Pork and Egg on rice. We also ordered Pumpkin Pie with Red Bean Filling, stir-fried rice noodles with bean sprouts, Juicy Chinese Pork Burger, and their Juicy Cheese Beef Burger. Everything was quite good especially the Chinese Pork Burger. The outer shell was so crispy and the pork meat was so juicy and was seasoned just right. The Taiwanese Braised Pork rice was good but definitely not as good as in Taiwan lol. Also, if coming here, you have to try their signature pan fried buns. That is what they are known for. We didn't order it this time because we've had it a bunch of times already. Overall, this restaurant always hits. It's not the most amazing food but like the name suggest, It is very home style comfort food.

I was hoping to find something special on the menu. The Peking duck caught my eye at around $70, but then I discovered that almost everything else was extra--lettuce wraps, stir-fried duck meat, fried rice, and soup. By the time you add the extras, the bill is easily another $50 or more, bringing the total to well over $120. We decided to pass, and judging from the dishes we did order, that was probably the right decision. The hot and sour soup had plenty of heat and tang but lacked depth of flavor and was under-seasoned for my taste. Fortunately, we only ordered a small bowl. The deep-fried tofu was bland and forgettable. The stir-fried shrimp was acceptable but nothing special. The biggest disappointment was the sweet and sour pork. I specifically asked the server to make sure the pork was crispy, but it arrived soft and lumpy rather than light and crunchy. Even the complimentary red bean dessert soup was watery and lacked flavor. Our bill came to about $104 for two people. For the quality of the food, I didn't feel it offered good value. Sadly, after several disappointing visits, I don't think we'll be returning.

It was perfectly prepared and sliced with the fat rendered and thinly sliced. The wraps were not the monstrous steamed buns but traditional translucent wraps which are super thin, soft and pliable. Scallions, cucumber, hoisin sauce completed each wrap which highlighted the duck. Definitely the best traditional Peking Duck preparation I've had in a very very long time. The remains of the duck were used for make a duck fried rice and duck soup, again both were amazing. It takes a certain skill to make fried rice cleanly without an excessive oily coating on each grain of rice. This was one of the best fried rices I've ever had! No gratuitous mushy frozen peas needlessly added either. Well seasoned fried pork ribs and veggies completed the courses I had, everything was truly wonderful and I hope to revisit again.

I've lived in Toronto, Durham, Peel and I can definitely say its been the hardest to find goood late night greasy Chinese food here in the Port Credit end of Mississauga. I'm still on the hunt! Customer service here was great. I called asked a few questions, than went in and grabbed a menu and went back to my car. Called over the phone and ordered she didn't know it was me and asked if i knew where they were located which was nice. So My order was General tao chicken ( we usually get chilli chicken but don't like it dry, prefer the sauced up spicy, so this is the equivalent at some places), chicken balls, chicken fried rice, and chicken wings. The total was about 40$, which is fair and the portions were alot less to what I was used to. The general tao chicken was not even a little bit spicy, even though she said it was so that was disappointing. On top of that the breaded part of the chicken was extremely soggy and the plate was full of soggy over cooked veggies underneath. the chicken wings were fried and greasy tasted great and well seasoned. Just not like what I'd usually get from a Chinese take out place as it just looked different the way it was breaded and fried. The rice was in a really small container w under cooked pieced of chicken that was very slimy and white and the rice was very bland. I had to overkill w soy sauce and bit of red sauce. Lastly the chicken balls of course 80% balls 20% chicken but tasted fine, just nothing special. I mean it was cheap and last minute but i definitely feel like i would not have ordered here if i had known cheap or not. They have alot to improve on or mayb they are better at making other items listed in reviews from others. Not sure how they have 5 stars. but hey to each their own right!
