Congee Town - Scarborough, Ontario

This place is becoming one of our go tos now. We all know there are similar congee places like this but I prefer Congee Town because of the flavour, the portion sizes and the price. One of our dishes was made incorrectly, I called and they handled it perfectly. So ... happy.. And full! Read more

This place is always my favourite place to go to. The environment is bright and the staff are always friendly. We always get the free appetizer soup at the beginning and the free dessert soup at the end, for ordering a combo (usually a 3 dish combo). The dessert ... soup we got this time was a cold papaya sago soup dessert--a nice switch from their usual hot soup desserts like red bean soup. My favourite dish here is always the Guo Loh Yok (sweet & sour pork). You can't go wrong with it and it is always executed so well! We tried something different this time and got a coconut chicken taro pot. It tasted interesting. We got 3 bowls of rice for the 3 dish combo as well. The prices are amazing here--no wonder why this is one of my family's favourite restaurants for nights that they don't want to cook! Read more

Overall the food was good. There are a few things that weren't that great. The rice we ordered came out warm not hot, although a big portion. The Cantonese chow mein is great, crispy noodles lost of flavour and again big portion. We also ordered general Tao and the flavour ... was good, not a large portion but decent. We did have to wait a while to out in our order and had to keep asking about getting some cutlery, which we never did end up receiving. No one was rude but not the best customer service. My rating is high because the flavour and portions are great. Read more

Weekends and dinner time are packed. We tried lunch and yes it was busy but we were seated within a couple of minutes. Waitresses were super efficient and just the right degree of friendliness. We went with noodles all around and did not disappoint. Favourful, tasty and satisfying.

The flavor of the food was fantastic! Not greasy, oily or dry. The bbq chicken was juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside; lobster was a tad bland, the veg were perfect crispy and garlicy. Service was best in asian restaurants so far. Ladies were quick to get ... good out, bring new pot of tea, clear the tables and check out. I would happily go back again Read more
