Consistently good Chinese food. Large menu with all of the staples & there’s fresh Chinese BBQ in-house. Average prices & well-kept premises. (4/5)
Patthai!!!! It is hard to choose between Chicken And Sea Food, so you can never say no when they are both served in a platter together!
For such cravings, you all would love; Chicken 🐔 And Shrimp 🍤 Patthai. A medium spicy noodle, with quantity which suffices a group of 8!
So all you out there, go and try it!
Where? : Congee Queen, Toronto
Score:
Taste: 8/10
Ambience: 8/10
Overall: 8/10
Whenever we drive down to TO, we always make it a point to stop at THIS one - the others I hear don't compare.
Delicious Asian comfort food at reasonable prices. Good roast dish - duck, pork, etc ...
A myriad of congee concoctions (thus the name)!
Congee Queen is my new go-to Chinese food restaurant. The service is fast, food tastes great and portions are huge!
My two favourite dishes are Yeung Chow Fried Rice and Diced Sirloin Golden Bowl. Their fried rice is probably the best I've ever had in Toronto - delicious and not greasy or salty. The amount you get is good for 3-4 people. The sirloin dish comes with mixed vegetables and is presented nicely in a crispy wonton bowl. Other great items include their pad thai, beef with black bean and vegetables, spice and pepper salt squid and fried turnip.
They have several different locations including North York, Markham, Scarborough and more, so be sure to check them out when you're craving for some Chinese food!

I dropped into the Congee Queen for an early supper last night with full intentions of trying my first congee. However, after looking it up online I had decided it might not be for me. Instead - I ordered a noodle soup with grouper and preserved egg which also came with a milk bubble tea ($8). The soup itself was okay, if not a little bland. I enjoyed the fish and the egg though. My bubble tea was interesting. It was my first bubble tea, so I didn't really know what to expect. I am not a big tea fan to start so that part of the beverage was lost on me. However, the cool little "bubbles" that shot up through the straw were pretty tasty. I liked those! Feeling a bit hungry still, I decided to order my first rice noodle roll. I had the Fried Dry Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll with Sesame ($4). The dish came with a side of peanut sauce and hoisin sauce. I wanted very much to enjoy this plate but it wasn't for me. While I don't think these dishes were for me, I don't think it was a reflection of their preparation. My server was very attentive and helpful in making some first time orders. Overall, I am happy I tried out some new things.

I love these Congee places!
Congee Queen offers up some delicious Chinese food through a variety of dishes that reminds me of my childhood. The place itself is located as a brick and mortar situated along Steeles Ave in the same shopping plaza as the Sears Outlet and the Food Basics (I don't remember the name of the mall). The restaurant is very nice and also has a pretty decent patio on the side. Service is friendly and fast and food is delciious!
We ordered a bowl of Chicken and Duck Congee, Crispy Tiger Shrimp on Mango Salad, and the Fried Lobster Chow Mein. The chicken and duck congee was great as the serving size is enough for 2-3 people for like only $6. The congee was seasoned nicely as it wasn't bland but it wasn't overly salty like other places. The meat portion within the congee could have been larger, but was still good. The consistency is just how it should be. The Crispy Tiger Shrimp with Mango salad was wonderful too. Though it was covered in a custard sauce, the shrimp remained crisp with the batter. The dish reminded me of the Walnut Shrimp dish that many Cantonese places offer on their menus (you know, the ones with the white sauce and broccoli!)
The lobster chow mein was incredible. I loved it because I love chow mein noodles when they're crisp and then soften up from the sheer volume of sauce that is put onto them. The lobster was very good as it's cooked with ginger and onions and actually went well with chow mein noodles, though it was a bit hard to find room for everything given that we had such a little table. The lobster was probably a good 1 1/2 pounder and the poor little guy was destroyed by the gf and I.
Service is neither here nor there, but can you really blame them? They're running around trying to control the chaos that is Congee Queen. The place gets real packed so it could be hard to find a table. Another options is the beautiful patio that have out on the side that's hardly ever used. It's a very nice place to have dinner and a quiet oasis from the loud that is the inside. Prices are very fair and nothing is overly expensive. Even the lobster chow mein was only $17! Definitely will be back.

I like this Congee Queen location the best. We go there quite often. Food is always good and service is great. We went there yesterday to have lunch ,we brought a bottle of wine and they let us open it and gave us wine glasses for extra $10 . Not bad , much better than paying per glass. We ordered Mixed Vegetable Fried Rice , BBQ spare Rib with honey , General Tao Chicken , Stir fried lobster with ginger and green onion , Fried oyster with belachan sauce, schezuan style tiger shrimp . All the food was good but what stood out the most to me were the tiger shrimp, lobster and oyster dishes. The oysters were lightly fried in a garlicky spicy sauce and we're very tender and just melted in your mouth. The lobster was nicely prepared slightly sweet with a hint of ginger in there , not overpowering so you could taste the fresh lobster. We also ordered dessert , fresh Mango pudding and ice cream with fruit. Pudding was light and not too sweet very creamy with fresh mango pieces at the bottom. The vanilla ice cream seemed to be made in house , very creamy and smooth and not too sweet and the fruits in syrup complimented it nicely. Overall good experience as always. Will be back again there soon.
The food here at congee queen is an excellent place to have an authentic chinese meal. It is best to go with group of people and share a bunch of dishes. Getting congee is a must at congee queen, accompanied by some chinese donuts or fritters. The fried chili turnip cakes, soft shell crab fried rice, roasted duck, and sweet spicy deep fried oysters are my favourites to order and never disappoint with generous portions that are always consistently delicious.
The Stir Fried Lobster in Hong Kong Style was a great presentation of lobster done right. The lobster meat was firm and fresh and there were little fried fish, meat, chopped-up green and red peppers on the dish too. It was perfect to satisfy my craving for seafood and tasty meat. Delicious! It was a good portion for two people.
