Congee Queen(Yonge&Dundas)

We had an amazing experience yesterday at this restaurant. The food was very tasty, the quantity excellent and fresh. The variety of chicken dishes is limited. And we were surprised to see that the chicken fried rice had a generous amount of peas! We had never seen so many peas in chicken fried rice 🤣 However, we are surely going to come here again for a meal.

We celebrated a good day here, and it was definitely worth it! The duck was authentic, with a rich flavor perfectly balanced by the sour plum sauce and sweet soybean. But we both wished it had been served a bit warmer. The mango shrimp 🍤 with fried chicken was sweet, crunchy and not soggy in the syrup at all! Loved it 😊 The fried noodle was also great, not greasy, not too salty, and did its job well as a satisfying carb.

Their portion sizes for noodles are GIANT, we left super stuffed after ordering one small congee, one rice roll, and an order of fried rice noodles for two people (and a lychee green tea). Overall, the taste is great as expected from Congee Queen, and the prices are decent. I would definitely come here again for a tasty chinese lunch/brunch.

I’ve visited this restaurant multiple times, and it remains a great spot for family dining. Conveniently located near Eaton Center, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The congee here is smooth and velvety, perfect for the chilly weather. Their roast duck, BBQ pork ribs, and char siu have a subtle sweetness and share a similar flavor profile. While (Chow -Mein) the seafood with crispy noodles were delicious. The restaurant serves warm tea, which complements the meal well. The seating is spacious and comfortable, allowing for a pleasant dining experience. One downside is that the number of servers seems insufficient given the restaurant’s size. However, the staff remained attentive and did their best to accommodate everyone efficiently.

I’ve been to several Congee Queens across the GTA, but now I usually visit the downtown location for the convenience. I’ve been eating here for almost two decades, and Congee Queen still delivers excellent quality and service. The portions are huge, making it perfect for families and friends. With a wide variety of options on the menu, there’s something to satisfy every craving. The servers are always friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be a long-time customer 😇. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend the sweet and sour pork, empress fried rice, and fried turnip cake!
