Went in a large group of 14 people, and the service was quick. The dishes weren't very clean and the menus were a bit worn out, but the food came in big portions and tasted on par with other good restaurants I've had the same dishes from. We had lots of leftovers to take out, so if we ordered less, we would've spent less than $20 per person and probably still would've had leftovers!

Came here with my family on a Sunday for lunch and it was decently busy, didn’t impact how long we had to wait - we got seated immediately. The server we had was quick to give us some tea and get our orders in which is well appreciated. The atmosphere was quaint and clean, not too loud which was nice. I usually order from here on UberEats but it was nice to come in the restaurant and sit down.
We ordered the seafood congee (not pictured), seafood pineapple fried rice, fried noodle with XO sauce, and lo mein. All the food came out very quickly and piping hot. The portions for each dish was humongous, we had lots of leftovers. The congee is a staple here; the texture is very good and the seafood inside is well cooked. The XO noodles were not spicy as I anticipated since the menu said it was but it was good nonetheless. The fried rice was decent, there were no pineapple pieces in the rice so I’m a little confused where the pineapple comes in but regardless, it was a classic fried rice. Lastly, the lo mein had lots of sauce on top of the crispy noodles which was delicious.
Overall, this place is great for a quick, affordable, and tasty bite of Chinese food!

I had my dinner at Congee Chan tonight. It’s a Chinese restaurant on Wonderland Rd. and Beaverbrook Ave.
There are some cool but strange features. First, their menu is unmatched in size. It holds a massive 8 double-sided pages. On top of that, there is also the Home Made Dessert menu, Special Recommendation menu, and the Lobster Combos menu. Second, one of their menus offers dishes to feed several people. One of them can feed 10 at the cost of $688.88!
To feed myself though, I got their House Super Bowl Congee. It comes in a large bowl and is filled with rice porridge, and the feel and consistency reminds me of Cream of Wheat. In the porridge are the many ingredients, such as hokkigai (surf clams), tiger shrimp, scallops, fish maw (swim bladder of fish), garoupa (a large fish), and crab meat. This was massive as well. The pieces of seafood were pretty large.
Out of the many, many desserts they offer I chose two. A fried banana with honey, and vanilla ice cream on a red bean pancake.
Considering the amount of food I got, my bill only came to $46.
Congee Chan puts other Chinese restaurants to shame. Its ultimate strength is in the sheer number of highly desired dishes that they provide. Congee represents China’s culinary culture with ease.
