Congee Queen

With 9 restaurants across Toronto it shows you it’s a fan favourite. This restaurant chain specializes in Chinese Cuisine. You can’t go wrong with anything you order here. Most waiters and waitresses are bilingual and can converse in English. With the Holiday tax break going on till February 15, 2025, why not support businesses and take advantage of the tax break. But be aware that prices have inflated just like everything else we consume. 1) Empress Fried Rice with Eel. 2) Fried Garoupa and fried bean curd tofu served in a clay pot (fish with bone in). Be careful of the pot it’s hot to handle. FYI: You can get this dish cooked in a similar fashion at a lower price, but the main ingredient is the head of a salmon. 3) Stir fried Beef with Chinese Broccoli which is Gai-Lan. All the dishes are delicious and nicely presented. You can pay either in cash, credit or debit card. They will bring the machine to your table. This establishment’s cash terminal does not charge taxes at this time.

A Chinese restaurant providing a big variety of food, from appetizers, noodles to stir fried dishes. Price is valuable and affordable, depending on your budget. Noodles is 10 bucks something. It closed late at night and it is our top choice for late dinner.

I must say the food served in this Congee Queen is very different when compared with Don mills -Finch and in Centre-point Mall at Yonge. “This is our go to location.” Since we were in Markham, we tried this location for the first time. The food served here is not salty at all and portion wise it is enough too. The only one thing that I didn’t like is that the food wasn’t cooked on a hot wok. When we took a first bite of the rice noodles and fried rice the smell of the wok is missing. Also, I don’t understand how come congee gets too watery after I took 3 scoops from my small bowl. Squids were the best. Overall, the customer service is great.

Food is amazing. One guy that goes to the casino all the time (young server with glasses) has poor service BUT literally every other time I've been I had amazing service. It's a little pricy otherwise I'd eat it everyday!

The interior is nice, food came quick and staffs are friendly. In general taste of the food is acceptable, portion is big however comparing with other Chinese restaurants the meal was missing some details / flavor of the Chinese food requiring a lot of fried (not deep fried ) vibe. Good for grabbing a quick meal instead of enjoying some traditional Chinese food. The XO sauce tulip cake was out of my expectation tho, the most delicious among other restaurant even those dim sum restaurants. Give it a 👍🏻

The food is consistent no matter which location which is why we love Congee Queen. This location is smaller than the Mississauga and Etobicoke location. The food was tasty and plenty. We had to wait a bit to be seated as it was pretty packed inside. Lots of parking. Overall, enjoyed every bite.

Good Chinese food in Markham. Friendly and quick service. Nice atmosphere. They have an express combo lunch menu. Affordable prices. I choose the general Tao chicken, menu said spicy but it was not spicy at all. I wish there was a little more spices and seasoning. My lunch came with a soup, a pot of jasmine tea and some greens. Great value.

Nothing to write home about but it’s a good enough generic Chinese restaurant, especially for those who are not familiar with really good Chinese food. It’s conveniently located and the menu has a very wide offering so if you’re with a group, everyone gets to choose what they like because it’s almost certain, they will have a dish for each person’s palate. If you’re hungry and want a quick Chinese food fix, large quantities, this is the place to go. We ordered the fried cod with broccoli, the fish wasn’t fresh but at least the broccoli was and it was cooked well, with a bit of a crunch. We were 4 and the other 2 didn’t bother eating more cod after their first bite. We ordered General Tao. At least this one had some flavour and the bell peppers were crunchy and cooked well. We ordered the seafood fried rice. It lacked flavour, it was just OK. The vermicelli shrimp noodles (forgot the dish name) was more lacklustre than the rice. I brought it home and added more shrimps, egg, green onions and salt and pepper to the otherwise bland taste. Our 2 other friends didn’t even want to take home any of the dishes, even if there was a lot of leftovers. The fried tofu was the best. It met our expectations. It was crunchy and the quantity was generous.. We all enjoyed this dish. Service was decent, even if they’re a bit abrupt, it’s ok. Not too bad. Interiors were good, nicely themed, good lighting none of the white fluorescent lights Chinese restaurants usually have, they have booth seating, round tables for bigger groups, another room for overflow. Maybe next time I will try and order other dishes, maybe we didn’t choose correctly.
