Congee Wong

Horrible services. Rude attitude towards paying customer. To be honest their food are like any other congee places around. Are they the best? Meh~ for their services I WILL not come back. I don’t need to be treated with such a bad attitude. Almost felt like I am begging for food from them. For crying out loud I am a paying customer! Need not to be treated with rudeness.

My husband and I are regulars here and it’s generally our go to for Cantonese Chow Mein, Fried Turnip cake (?), and an assortment of cravings. I’m sure there are better and worse establishments but what I really love is the ability to call my order in ahead and just drive up for pickup.

Feb 2016 — Quick, affordable pick up for lunch:
D13. Beef Tendon/​Brisket Noodle $ 5.25
柱侯牛筋/​牛腩麵

I found a long piece of hair intertwined in my noodles. I told the waitress and a new plate was not offered. On top of it I was charged.

So, have always loved this place, but today they messed up our takeout order. When confronted they initially blamed us, but finally went back to the kitchen to «fix» it. When the order came back out, we paid and left.

Turnips be bomb… but every time my friend and I want to do takeout, the number to call them is invalid. Does anyone have the right phone number ?!

I got a take out today. And this is what I got in the soup. Other than that everything else is good

This congee wong has chinese bbq goods.
Good congee, the «ja leung» here is okay, the dough fritters are a bit soggy… they prob don’t use the super fresh ones because the ones I got with the congee were very fresh. The fried rice and noodles here are great too. Turnip cakes are a must get.

I think the perfect words to describe Congee Wong are «average but reliable».
You typically think of Congee Wong when you want a quick and fuss free dinner. You know exactly what you want before you even sit down because their menu never really changes.
I’ve been here a few times and haven’t had a bad experience so far. The servers are friendly for the most part and you get your food in less than 10 minutes. The food is not bad and portions are very generous so we always have leftovers to take home!

Really a classic Chinese food place. I have been coming to Congee Wong for over 10 years when I want to get some classic dishes. This is a great value place where you can get a good meal for a good price and still have left overs to go home with. I have even done take out from this location before. If you are looking for a meal, this is the place. If you are looking for something a bit more fancy, then you may want to look somewhere else.

Good Congee Wong quality food, if you know what I mean. The service was very friendly and was the only Asian restaurant open before 9am on a Sunday. Great prices for their breakfast menu (average less than $ 5 per set meal that includes a drink). «Go to» place for early morning quick meal.

I visited this place quite a few times and the food are normally pretty solid but service are normally below average and they seems to be under stuff all the time. I always feel bad for the servers. They always like chicken run around without head.

Good enough food, good enough pricing, okay services, outstanding portion!
These descriptions pretty much sum up my impression of this Congee Wong location. Congee Wong is known for authentic Cantonese food that is flavourful. I am not sure how the business management ensures taste consistency across the locations, but so far the flavour tastes relatively similar from location to location. If you have eaten at one, you have been to them all. This location stands out among peers with bigger portion. A Sweet and Sour Pork entrée ($ 7.50) is 20% more than what I have gotten at other locations. The Spicy Clam Stir Fry was a small mountain. The Scallops Stir Fry with Vegetables ($ 17.50) had a lot of scallops and vegetable. The scallops were not fresh, though they had not gone bad yet. I would not order this entrée again.
Services were good. They refilled tea pots and took away empty plates promptly. The only irritant was they mixed up the orders among tables. We were asked at least 3 times if some dishes were ours. I was sure they almost handed our orders to another table.
I will come back to eat more. I can’t pass up a dinner deal like this.

Congee Wong is our new go to place when it comes to going out for lunch/​dinner with my family. The tea is sweet and tasty (just right!) and food is great. There’s lots of variety on the menu and everything has tastes delicious so far.
The servers are super efficient and friendly at the same time. I have never seen servers moving so fast. I don’t mean to offend anybody when saying this but I feel one server working there is equivalent to more than two server working at other restaurants. That’s how fast they are! I guess they have to move fast considering how busy the restaurant can get! However, the fact they move so fast, there tends to be some spillage but regardless, they clean up quick!
Although, my grandmother being more traditional is upset about the new restaurant. After Regal 16 closed, she felt it should’ve been another dim sum restaurant. I guess this goes to show how each generation is different.

As It goes with Congee Wong, this one is fine. It’s when you need that Chinese food fix, or you need your HK tea, or, in my case, my entire family overslept and we’re all starving and dimsum doesn’t seem appealing.
Warning. Parking here on weekends in peak hours is a sh*tshow.
Service is… hmm. Those poor servers seem to be up to their EARS in things to do. You probably won’t experience rudeness, because they seem to handle their stress well enough, but prepared to see some stressed out servers.
Favourites here are the Golden Milk Pudding ($ 4.95), which is sprinkled with some sort of sweet sand. Also good is the fried turnips «Lor Bak Go», which is AWESOME when hot, but beware if you get takeout and leave it in your car by accident. Does not smell awesome them.

This place is a great fast food style Chinese restaurant. The atmosphere is loud and the décor is similar to most Chinese restaurants you’ll see around Richmond Hill and Markam. The service is decent and the food comes out lightning fast!
My gf and I usually order the fried sliced turnips, sea food congee and a noodle dish of some kind. The Hong Kong style tea is also great and will keep you awake all night! Most of the food is prepared fresh and the wait times are very low if you are dining in or getting take out.
My favourite of all the Congee Wong locations and the one that provides us with the biggest portions! I will be coming back for more soon!

2.5 stars!
We ordered egg white fried rice with fish roe and seafood chow mein, I personally liked them both but not my in law; she said that they were bland and no «wok hei» but I found that they were not greasy and pretty good.
Shredded chicken congee in super bowl: I personally don’t like congee but my in law had 3 bowls along with deep fried dough fritter so it must be good.
Service was good for a chinese fast food restaurant. It was packed after 1pm on Sunday.
One thing I didn’t like about them and gave them 2.5 stars was the cleanliness of their bowls, chopsticks, cups and spoons. We had 5 people in our party, and there were 2 dirty bowls (I don’t care, even if the leftover food sticked outside the bowls, they were still DIRTY), 2 greasy cups (oil floating after we poured tea in), 1 dirty spoon and few sticky chopsticks YUCK!!! The waiter had no problem to change them but I just didn’t feel comfortable to use them without cleaning with my kids’ wipes (thanks goodness I have toy/​pacifier wipes with me, not the one for bum bum ;) No wonder I found that some people brought their own bowls, cups and chopsticks to chinese restaurants these days, I wasn’t kidding you! I saw it few times in different location, may be they were the same family; i will pay more attention next time when I see them again. But I think bringing your own wipes are more convenient, again not the one for your bum bum :)

I was glad to have tried out this place as it satisfied my craving for congee. For $ 4.99 i ordered the pork congee with golden egg and it came with noodles and fritters. For breakfast, the congee was more than enough for me. I also ordered the toast with condensed milk yummy! It came with milk tea which was tad strong for me. I will definitely check their lunch offerings next time

Holy Moly this place is so BUSY! I’ve never actually been to another Congee Wong location that’s this spacious and still has a huge lineup at the same time.
The food is pretty much the same as other locations except that their radish cake is noticeably more soggy. This location stands out because they have BBQ meat available, ready to be chopped up and served to your table! We tried the mixed platter and the crispy skin pork is soo delicious! The duck meat on the other hand was too salty for my preferences.
The service here is a lot better than any other location I’ve been to. Servers here are very attentive and efficient given how busy they are. They’ve only been open for two months, hopefully they can keep their upbeat attitude consistent!
I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area! Chinese fast food with good service? Come on, where do you find that these days?

What makes this Congee Wong different than other locations?
The variety of the menu? There is a different special menu for breakfast, afternoon tea, dinner. Breakfast and afternoon menus are similar to what offers in a Hong Kong Style Café. And for dinner, there is option from entrée menu that offers even fresh seafood from the fish tank!
I was here twice: lunch and afternoon tea since it opened and both time my experiences were A-​OK. Decent food at a great price and friendly fast service!
There are also quite a few tables that are good single diner like me.
I will be coming in for a quick bite quite often when I am in the neighbourhood which will be almost every week!
