Great canto style resto that does traditional style congee, steamed rice rolls and also offers selection of noodles. They have various combinations, fillings, and good portion sizes.
Local neighborhood hole in the wall place. Needed a quick meal, it was either this or Taco Bell. Was not impressed when i entered, certainly a place you wouldn't take a date or a secret lover, yeah I said it. However, my red flag gut intuition slowly began to soften when perusing their menus, a separate page for congee, separate page for noodles, separate page for rice rolls and a separate page for snacks. Now that's what I'm talking about. This is where people come for serious no nonsense eating. No fusion, no signature dishes, just straight up good basic Chinese comfort food It hit me when I out of the corner of my eye I saw pork intestine noodles on the noodle menu. Whaaaat, no way, no restaurant would dare serve this dish unless their customer base demanded it. People who like intestines described the taste as gamey barnyard funk, let's get real, it's poop, don't want it. Don't wanna even try. I got excited, any restaurant serving this dish must know what they are doing. I ordered the congee with century egg & pork, fried dough sticks and beef brisket dried noodles The beef brisket was tender with fat and attached membrane, beware, it is just not pure beef brisket, this type of brisket is not everyone's cup of tea. The noodles were firm and chewy The fried dough sticks were overcooked, too crispy and oily. Dipping them in the congee softened them up. The congee arrived very hot with creamy century egg and tender pork. It was so tasty I have to admit, their dishes were very authentic and a representation of what great cooking skills can accomplish with Chinese ingredients (including intestines). It's a shame these hole in the wall places are not well known but then the neighborhoods probably want it they way. I walked away very impressed
Down to earth. No frills ambiance. Average cleanliness. Congee small portion. Rice rolls large portion. Pricing below market. Congee taste alright but much MSG.
Very small shop that is always hustling and bustling but wouldn't have it any other way! There may be a short line and you can get a number but I find the turnover is pretty fast so you do get seated fairly quickly. The seats are a little tight but not too bad. We always go for a congee each and a rice roll and fritter to share. This time I tried their pork intestine one (small intestine not large). There were lots inside the bowl. Portions are good. I usually get mine without green onions and ginger. The congee base is nice and fleecy but definitely on the more watery and not super thick side. The rice rolls are perfect! We got a pea sprout one and the layers are nice thin and translucent. We went for the Chinese donut (sweeter than the dough fritter).
This place was packed on a Saturday at 1pm! I personally think their "cheung funs" taste better than the famous chain that originated from China. Their "cheung fun" takes the form of scrunched up sheets, unlike the rolls you get at dim sum restaurants. The cheung fun is thin and smooth. We ordered "jar leung", which exceeded my expectations. The "cheung fun" layer was so thin, that you can see the dough fritter underneath. The dough fritter was still crispy when we ate the last piece! We also ordered pork congee with preserved egg. The congee base was very well done, it was thick but not gluppy. However, I do wish they put a bit more preserved egg in it. The restaurant seems to be brighter and cleaner than I last visited, which was nearly 2 year ago.
Is there anything better than a hot bowl of congee on a cold day? Indoor dining is closed but they do have tables that you can sit at to wait for your order. We ordered a good ol' classic century egg and pork congee, fried dough, ox tongue pastry, and beef brisket. The congee was great. Thick and well salted. The pork pieces were large whole pieces - quality stuff! The eggs were actually in decent sized pieces, as in not too large. I'm not a huge fan of eating them whole but I managed to down a few. I've never met an ox tongue pastry that I haven't liked. If you haven't had one, it's a sweeter dough though definitely not a dessert. Although, my partner did describe it as "almost funnel cake-like". As for the fried dough stick, I thought they were a tiny bit too dense and a little oily for me. I appreciated that the take out containers were very sturdy plastic that you can reuse or recycle. The only complaint was that the prices were a bit much for what you got.
Absolutely love this place Come here to get a true taste of Hong Kong with insane value. Staff speaks English (although not super well), but you'll get by and menu is in English as well (for the most part). First thing you do upon entering is to grab a piece of paper from the front desk with a number to get in queue. No reservations, line goes quick as they have super fast turnover. This place specializes in congee (rice porridge for the uninitiated) and rice noodle rolls. Haven't tried anything else here because these 2 carb-rich dishes are the best. Have ordered some vegetables to balance the meal out which is pretty basic boiled Chinese broccoli Bowls of congee start at about $5 and is a steal in my opinion. You can share a bowl with someone easily. HIGHLY recommend the pork and preserved egg (aka thousand year egg) congee (classic congee) and the fish + beef congee. Simple & super flavourful! The rice noodle rolls are made completely in house drenched in sweet soy sauce. Add some sesame seed and hot pepper oil at your table, and you'll be shortly sent to carb heaven! Oh and don't forget the HK style tea! Have it cold or hot..it's all good.
3 years after my first visit and I decided to give this place another try. It was a cold and windy day and Congee is really my kind of comfort food. I had been bee quite a few Cantonese style rice roll joints so now I kind of know what to expect and start to enjoy this kind of rice roll. Plain Rice Roll is pretty good and great value. I would order that again. Even my Pork Blood congee has the punch with a lot of ginger! I guess I will be coming back again. BTW, the condiment bottles are a lot cleaner than my last visit!
The best plain rice noodle. It's one flat sheet and it is so fresh and silky. Love dousing it in soya sauce, peanut butter, hoisin sauce and sesame seeds. Congee is good too. Good prices and good value. Great spot for quick Chinese comfort food.
Excellent rice rolls, so many varieties, fave was with pork and cilantro. Congee's consistency was perfect. I loved mine with fish belly. But only for people who can handle all the small fish bones. Shout out to Emily, our super server, who can multi task and never missed a beat! The place was busy, she took care of all the customers and still have time to chat with us.
I've been eating in this area since forever and have only recently discovered this gem of a place. It makes me sad for all the bad bowls of congee and crappy rice rolls that I've had to consume in my long life. The congee is made by the bowl, so it might take a moment for it to get out to you but it will be guaranteed to be hot and delicious. The usual combinations are all available, and the one bowl can easily feed two people. The rice rolls are a bit different because the folds aren't all neatly rolled up, but I figure it's just because they make it fresh there. No complaints, especially when drowned in sesame sauce, sweet sauce, hot sauce and sesame seeds. Let's clarify that this isn't the classiest of places. They ran out of actual chairs so I got a plastic stool to sit on. When our table ran out of sesame sauce, the table next to us offered us theirs because there was a mutual understanding of the importance of sesame sauce. It's just that kinda place. Don't bring your dates here unless they are awesome and know how to appreciate the taste of a well made Cantonese breakfast.
I've eaten here before and it was decent so I called in to order take out this time. When I got there to pick up my food, I was waiting for the cashier to tell me the price. A good 10-20 seconds of awkwardly standing there passed and I noticed a receipt stuck on the take out indicating a price so I asked to confirm the amount. A "yes" or a "no" would've been sufficient, but instead, he responded with "Well, is that what you ordered?" To top off the rude service, I noticed I had plastic in my congee after almost choking on it.
The best taste cheungfun "ricenoodle" as pictured. Fried dough and other noodle/congee/rice bowls, very satisfying 10 items dinner between the two of us bwahaha. Great promo and orderly streamline takeout process.

Came here on a non busy weekday morning. Waitstaff was friendly and took our orders promptly. Restaurant is bright which is a plus. The waitress recommended a special to us and it turned out to be super tasty and the best dish out of the three that we ordered- this was the fish balls and other assorted items in a curry sauce. We also ordered the sliced beef and fish congee which was really yummy - the beef was very tender and delicious. We got the shrimp and sliced beef rice rolls which we enjoyed too. Overall this is a solid choice for yummy Cantonese food. read more
Good authentic Cantonese food served here with delicious rice rolls, snacks, flavourful beef brisket noodle soup, and yummy congee. Available for delivery or pickup inside the restaurant. It's located beside another popular restaurant famous for their pork liver noodle soups named Chai Kee Noodle House 仔記豬潤牛肉麵 。 At Yummy Cantonese Restaurant I usually go for the same items: D3. Dough Stick 油條 A10. Dough Stick Rice Noodle Roll 廣式炸兩腸粉 D5. Yu Choy Sum 白灼菜心 B7. Preserved Egg and Pork Congee 皮蛋瘦肉粥 C3B. Beef Brisket Thick Rice Noodle 秘製牛腩湯粉 量大 美味。 谢谢。 read more

After 20 years I visited this restaurant again. It's pretty good experience. We arrived there was around 2pm ish Saturday. No line up. We sat down and quickly we ordered pork livers congee, 2 dishes of steamed Vermicelli rolls and Chinese doughnuts and Hong Kong style milk tea. Honestly, I'm not a big fans of HK style milk tea and Chinese doughnuts. It isn't that bad than I thought. If I ask would I return. Probably another 20 years read more
Tldr: Cantonese breakfast place for congee and rice noodle rolls. Fresh, delicious, great value. Would recommend. Came here for the first time with my mom and sis since they were craving a Cantonese-styled brunch. This place offers a wide variety of rice noodle rolls and congee that are made in-house. They also have soup noodles if you're feeling that. For congee we got 2 types: Salted egg/pork, and mixed mushroom/pork. For just $5 each, it was pretty worth. The bowls are huge, and the ingredients were fresh. The congee was quite clean and smooth, and i can tell that it wasn't MSG-filled like other places. In terms of rice noodle rolls, we got the BBQ pork, plain, and fried dough fritter. These rice noodle rolls are not like the typical ones that you see at a dim sum joint. They were uniquely wrinkled (kind of like the wrinkles you see on an old man lol), but tasted amazing. There was a pleasant elasticity when I bit into them, and it didn't tire out my jaw during the mastication process. They also have sweet soy sauce, sesame sauce, sesame seeds, sriracha, and chili oil on the side on each table. When we got here at around 11:30am, it was mad packed. This place is pretty small, but we got seats after a 10min wait. Service was alright, but the food came fast. Price is great for what's offered. Would definitely come back! read more

One of the biggest ripoffs. How can you expect to serve this type squid tentacles for 8 dollars ? Are you out of your minds ? They used to have fried squid tentacles that came with a batter... Everything was so salty. My fiancé and I had to drink 2 bottles of water after lunch. The rice rolls had all this soy sauce (it wasn't the sweet kind either). Normally, I would expect places to give the soy sauce on the side. The squid was drenched in salt to hide the stench. You can tell it's not fresh. Save your money. If you want congee and rice rolls, go to Chartwell Shopping centre. I don't get what's good about this place. Most food courts that serve rice rolls and congee taste so much better... The owners should reflect and revise their menu. read more
This is my go-to spot for Cantonese food in Toronto (Scarborough area). I woke up craving for Cantonese food, and wanted congee for brunch because I had BBQ skewers the night, and wanted something comforting and warm. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the Cantonese-speaking environment in this restaurant. It's a very casual spot with decent service. It brings back a lot of childhood memories growing up. I ordered the Preserved Egg and Pork Congee, Beef Brisket Noodle and Fritter Rice Roll Chinese Doughnut. The bill came to $16 so it was a steal! I caution you that the congee they serve is very hot, which is perfect in my opinion but make sure you get smaller bowls to consume it or you might accidently burn yourself. Add some sesame which is provided as a condiment to your Chinese Doughnut for extra taste. The Fritter Rice Roll Chinese Doughnut was crunchy inside (Chinese Doughnut), and soft and tender on the outside (Rice Roll). Add some peanut butter sauce and you will enter a state of extreme joy. read more
My Wife and I were in the mood for congee breakfast. The price was right for our budget. Service was just ok. Slight language barrier here. We order preserved egg & pork congee, bbq pork rice noodle roll & calamari tentacles. All that for around $16 bux. Less than we would have spent at our normal congee spot, Congee Town. Only issue with the food was the calamari was too salty for our liking, we ended up taking that home, though I did like the fact the tentacles were larger than other places. Oh their style of rice noodle rolls isn't the smooth type. I've read another another reviewer calling it "scraped" it may not look as presentable, but for us it still tasted ok. Also, as for portion size as compared to other spots we've had rice noodle rolls, they give more here. They have extra condiments which other places we've visited don't have which includes; sesame seeds, sweet sauce & peanut sauce for use with rice rolls/congee etc. The sesame seeds and sweet sauce did the trick for me. I deducted 1 star due to for method of payment is CASH ONLY. Debit & Credit not accepted. Would definitely go back for congee and rice noodle rolls, not for the fried items. Potential foodies be aware, there are quite a few dishes that they serve that have internal delicacy organ meats. read more

Really good rice noodle rolls, you know that they steamed the rice flour mixture to order. They are thin and soft but still have good texture that soaks up the soy and hot sauce. Yes, the place is kinda grimey (- one star), but the food is is fresh, fast, tasty, and properly made. I would also recommend their squid tentacles, even better tasting than the ones for dim sum.. they put a nice coating on it that stays hot and crispy. read more

COME here instead of the wonton place next door which I was only forced to go to because this place was full. It's usually really busy here so we were finally about to get some seats on the past weekend. The congee that contains fish slices is indeed fresh fish. I highly recommend their congee and my fiance really enjoyed their "cherng fun". Their iced lai cha was so bomb, I want to go back just to drink that. The portions are huge for the price they sell it for *thumbs up* I couldn't finish my bowl of congee and had to even save it for dinner. read more

It's our favourite rice roll place in Scarborough. Compared to other dim sum places offer rice rolls, the rice rolls here are way better - thin enough to see through with just right amount of sauce. The only down point is it closes pretty early :( read more

This place is awesome!! I'm a pasty white guy who can't understand the menu, but point and order has worked a treat for me. I will admit that the place is small, and some would consider less than immaculately clean, but the food is fresh, hot, and quite good. The lovely young woman who serves me every time I go there, knows that I can't figure out the menu, but remembers what I order each visit and asks me if I want the same thing or something new. The prices are super affordable, which always makes me leave more than a 20% tip. Give it a go, I doubt that you will be disappointed. read more
