Congee Queen - North York, Ontario

The restaurant was bigger than I thought but the vibe, was exactly as I’d expected, buzzy. My brother had made a reservation so we didn’t have to join the queue. The menu was packed with a gazillion choices, so it took a while for us to decide. In the end, these ... were what we selected: 1. Sliced Fish & Pig’s Liver Congee – Very smooth and creamy, the congee had large pieces of both proteins which were well cooked. 2. Bittergourd with Pork – The default is beef but we asked to switch to pork which we agreed was a great idea as the white meat was fresh and tasty. Only thing is the chefs are rather heavy-handed with the black bean sauce, so we had to order a couple of bowls of plain rice to balance out the saltiness. 3. Rice Noodles with Beef in Scrambled Egg Sauce – They use narrow rice noodles and the slices of beef were plentiful. What impressed me most was the “wok hei” which was intense, and that made this dish of carbs smothered in eggy gravy, really enjoyable. 4. Soya Sauce Chicken – It was done perfectly, so even the breast meat was tender. A must-order in my opinion. 5. Twin Roasted Meat Platter – We loved the roasted duck and “siew yoke” (roasts pork belly). These were executed on point with the former being deeply fragrant, flavourful and juicy, and the latter boasting a super crunchy skin. 6. Century Egg & Pulled Pork Congee – I liked this even more than the first congee as it had a bolder taste. Read more

Another one of the congee queen outlets. Good quality chinese food. BBQ prok and ducks are nice. Lobster noodles are delicious. HK style milktea and coffees are good too,

It’s been a few years since we came here last, but nothing has changed much aside from how you order. We came here for Chinese New Year and surprisingly the wait for a table for 8 wasn’t too long. Currently, they have a QR Code and you order on your phone. The ... food is good. As someone who has many food allergies, they are good with listing ingredients on the menu and they don’t add stuff not mentioned on the menu (like other Congee Queens) We will definitely come back in the future.

My only regret is that we don’t live near this location. Whenever we come into town, this is one of our pit stops. One HAS to be patient… one of its quirks is that the servers can be harried. So, remain friendly & be assertive! Best fresh dish? Pan fried ... spicy tofu with peppers. Read more
