Mr. Congee Chinese Cuisine 龍粥記 in Scarborough

Good service! Testy Food! Really big oyster!!

Afternoon Tea time moved up to 3:00 - 5:00pm. The Wantons noodle soup ($9.50) and the Deep fried wantons ($5.00). Free small cup of HK tea was included. Still best restaurant in Scarborough with good service too. Ordered the Deep fried oysters which was huge and salty taste only. Would be better if it was sautéed with Maggi or teriyaki sauce. The crabmeat and fish maw fish was disappointed and cheated. It is more like dried pig skins (tough to chew) and traces of crabmeat. Well, you can only cheat and scam once and loses business.

Very delicious steam fish!

Frequent help, good environment and good service good

This dish looks like crispy roasted duck paired with a side of sweet chili sauce. The golden-brown, perfectly caramelized skin suggests a crisp texture, while the meat appears tender and juicy. The vibrant sauce adds a tangy and sweet element that complements the richness of the duck.

Today I am very happy to bring my good friends to eat at Long Porridge. It tastes very good and the waiters are very enthusiastic. I will come again next time.

Sliced duck is delicious

I have been eating barbecue rice every week for two years. good!

Staff nice, good environment, good food. Dine in and take out here for 3+ years already. Higly recommended.

Very excellent service Food quality is also good. Keep up

Amazing food, decent price, restaurant decor is good/little better than average.

Belly is always satisfied here. I just wish cleanliness was more of a priority at Chinese restaurants, particularly in Scarborough. But its dive spots like this one that have the best food lol

I will never order from here again. Don t be fake about hospitality. Might as well put a sign that says we don t want to cater to no one but our own. Never been to a congee restaurant like this. Food portion felt rationed. It s the second time; that will do. Went back in for an order to deliver after eating; fake hospitality.

Not too bad

The food is really average and the taste is average

Very good service, KiKi is a very good staff.

tasty

Good food and service

Good food, place convenient.come over often with my friends

Good food, taste homemade, good service and friendly

Niuzhu is so good Xingzhou Carrot Cake is so fragrant and delicious!

Hit and miss on certain dishes

Delicious color, top-notch buying.

Fast ordering, good service, and reasonable prices! Overall passable.

If possible, go to other Cantonese restaurants for better value of money.

First time customers. Had Tea Time items (3:20 pm). Ordered BBQ Duck and Noodle Soup (small portion and mostly bones), and Deep Fry Chicken Wings (no flavour). But very busy place.

Apart from a few mushrooms and some garlic moss, the dry-roasted Yi noodles are just noodles. Let s not talk about how it tastes. It s not worth 15.99 plus tax for a meal like this!

Overrated, overpriced, and very poor food quality. Not recommended.

Recommend a big bowl with enough noodles It would be better if the pigs trotters can be used as D

This place used to be my favorite Chinese food to go. I even ordered for our birthday parties. However, I had a really bad experience and decided not to order from them again. The cashier mistake on my party order, at first she said they don t have that on the menu, I said I know but I ordered all the time. When I got the food it s a total different dish, she entered the order wrong and still insisted she got it right. She was really rude and charged me extra for having the correct item. When I asked to open the container to ensure I got the right item, she gave me the look like I am trying to cause a problem there. This is my last time ordering from this place. The rest of the food tasted terrible, fried food are cold and not crispy at all.

Five stars for the value, otherwise a four.

Rubbish service, rubbish chef, only idiots go there

Wow, the meat is hairy. When I asked the waiter, he said it was like that. His attitude was also very bad, especially for those who speak Mandarin.

The waitress was not patient during order. Asked for more tips at the end even though the service was not good. The lobster did not taste as good as before. Food

4.5/5 The service is very good and the food is good

Good place to go but too many people

Good value for the price l love their vermicelli chicken noodle added spicy really good always busy resturant

Some of their waitresses are fine but most of them are rude. They try kicking you out if you sit there longer than an hour. Even if you have not finished eating, some of the waitresses demand you leave. Even after poor service, the owner expects you to leave them a nice tip, but who would tip them after the arrogance of the waitresses

The roasted duck tastes good but is crispy enough, and the other stir-fried dishes are quite tasty as well!

Good place to eat

Very good food. Portions are huge and prices are reasonable.

The environment and food are very good. At first, the short-haired waiter was very good at service. But when it was time to check out, a person who had never served our table suddenly came to collect money. The tip was not low, but this was the first time I encountered a waiter who blatantly said that the consumption was not enough and asked for more... I was a little speechless and finally said that we should take some back because the tip was enough...

Maybe a 4.5, solid Chinese food.

food tasteless

ver good

North Scarborough is where it s at! Craving some canton food so tried out this spot. Bests: snow pea leaves with mushrooms Taiwanese fried noodle with shrimp and scallop Congee: good texture but needs seasoning. Had the Shatin chicken congee, and I think shatin chicken is drunken chicken which I haven t had in a minute but maybe I would have that in a congee and on its own. Menu is extensive and I would come back to try more.

As typical a Hongkong neighborhood restaurant experience as possible in Toronto. The food is delicious and generously portioned. Its home style cooking, so dont expect Michelin Chinese Fusion. Service is efficient abeit a bit brisk and loud sometimes, again, part of the HK experience.

Black pepper beef cubes and steamed scallops yyds! (forgot to take pictures)! Dry-fried beef river, I don t know why it didn t feel like it was cooked enough or it felt lukewarm when I ate it, not enough steam, so I was a bit disappointed!

Excellent food and service!! Highly recommend!

Great food and serving portion, fast and excellent service. Will try the fried squid next time. Definitely come again.

The service and the tip are not directly proportional. Why should the customers tip 10%? They are asking for tips like beggars.

Love the food here. I think the location at Markham is more comfortable than the one at Scarborough.

Wouldn t say this is my favourite place to get Chinese food as the food is rather salty and on the mediocre side. But the price is pretty reasonable for the amount you get. Service was also not bad.

Value for money, this small Chinese Restaurant is above the rest. Lots of Chinese people eating every time we go there which to us means its as authentic to Chinese food that you can eat. Theres quite a wait if you dont reserve.

Vibe - very tight , not comfortable Food - expensive , not value Quality - ok Staff - ok Bbq - recommend Bbq ribs, roast pork (but not worth it)

Quick service and big portions.

Bought 6 pounds of lobster, all in shell. Moreover, it was not cooked well, and the lobster meat was stuck to the shell and could not be removed. It s really a rip off and definitely not recommended. Ordered 6 pounds of lobster take out, and got almost 6 pounds of shell with very little meat. And the lobster was undercooked with meat stuck to the shell. Very disappointed. Will not buy again and won t recommend to anyone!

Good service, fair prices, and good food.

This is a very busy restaurant focusing on Cantonese meals. I felt I was transported back to Guangdong!

Great food that is procedure well for their portions. My go to when Im in the area. Parking: Theres construction with what used to be processed chopper and the entrance to the plaza but all in all lots of free parking.

The food is a bit salty, the Pipa duck is okay (but $47.99 is too expensive), the vegetables are like rotten vegetables (there is no hot pot flavor at all). The lunch price may be more affordable, but I arrived before 16:00 and did not order the lunch set or mutton skewers. The extra charge was $0.5. I didn t expect the mutton belly soup to be soupy. The shredded bananas were served to the guests without warm water (I was stuffing my teeth after eating them). I asked the waiter to recommend dishes. The beef tenderloin was very small. I paid the bill at the checkout. , sugar water is better, can only be taken away, 6 people ate for $300 including tip, the price/performance ratio is too low, the taste is far worse than the Queen s Famous Porridge, I will not go there again next time,

Nice place. The hotpot chicken and preserved sausage is very good. Beef brisket lo mein is great, meat very tender.

I have been their loyal customers for 15 years. Their food is by far the most value per $. Not to mention the food tastes truly amazing and authentic.

Decent food at reasonable price. Their lobster dish has fried small fish which is better than French fries like other places.

Average tasting Chinese fast food

Is there a difference between what you take home and what you eat in the store? When you eat it in the store, its just a small piece of beef cubes, but when you take it home, its just beef strips? The taste is not as good as the ones eaten in the store...bad review

Menu on website is outdated. So when i walked in the prices are all different.

Amazing food

Always good food for a good price.

Front of house (lady who answers the phone) is amazing! She does Cantonese, Mandarin and English fluently, and makes sure the orders are all in place. Food is consistently good and delicious!

Unfortunately the quality of the food has really gone down from years ago. Came here recently for afternoon tea and ordered the duck noodles. The lemon tea it came with was so small, same size as the chili oil on the table whereas before it was in a regular big cup. The duck was okay but noodles were so/so and no flavor. My partner also got a duck/roasted pork rice and the quantity was quite small too. Compared to other restaurants with afternoon tea this place has really diminished in quality :(

Stopped by here for a quick lunch before we head home. It looked promising since it was busy. When the food came, we were underwhelmed. BBQ pork was dried, tasted like it was sitting there for awhile and the portion of the duck was very small. Taste was okay. The soup noodle was okay. Friendly, efficient servers. Good for a quick lunch but dont expect too much.

My go to place for lobster! Good portion and tasty. 5% off if you pay in cash.

Best BBQ pork ive ever had. Great taste and portions for the price. I actually thought the service was great!

One of my favorite restaurants. Clean, great service and food, hard working employees. U15 Honey glazed oyster with green pepper is one of my favourites and I dont even generally like oysters. Crispy on the outside but not oily. Sauce is sweet but not overly. Bbq pork has a lot of meat. R7 Fried Chilli turnip patties, bbq duck, H1 Lobster w/Ginger & Green Onion E-Fu Noodle, are just some I tried that are great!

Large selection of HK style dishes for reasonable prices. Typically very busy on weekends, but easy to get a table on weekdays. They gave pumpkin dessert soup for free so I gave them 5 stars. There is 5% discount when you pay cash.

Great service

Came here on the busiest time of the year for dinner. Even though it s called Mr. Congee, it offers much more than congee. Been here for lunch previously and their portion tends to be on the big side. We ordered the seafood combo for 5 adults and 1 kid. Started with the crab soup, we had snow pea leafs, whole chicken, beef cubes, fried oysters and lobster. They ran out of all the BBQ stuff for the night so they didn t charge us for that. The food was ok overall. The chicken was a bit too cold for my taste though. The beef was so-so. But the rest of the fishes were all tasty. The CNY rush challenges all the restaurants and I have seen worse. Given the peak hours, the staffs were still polite and efficient. I d say it was still a decent choice especially when everywhere else was all booked up 3 weeks prior to the CNY.

I find myself keep coming back for their sweet and sour pork. Great prices and variety. We spent about $200 for a dinner for 10 with 10 dishes, and all the dishes did not disappoint. Keep up the good work.

good place

Its a good restaurant for family dinning

The restaurant it wasnt too big,you will feel a little bit tight when you sit down having the meal,but their food product is very tasty and the price is valuable.

Price is very reasonable and food is up to par with more expensive restaurants like congee queen IMO. Did not dine in but looks new and clean.

Total 60 worth trying

Went here for afternoon tea, as well as for late night dinner. Good price, but not a fan of their Hainanese chicken, or their preserved meats. There are better places for those. I do like their Roasted Pork and BBQ duck! Not a lot of seating inside, but with the pandemic they were able to open a patio, so that was great. Lots of parking.

Reasonable price for all dishes.

I love this restaurant! The staff are extraordinary and very attentive. The food is so tasty and delicious. I had the dragon crab in Maggies style and I ve had the dragon crab and ginger and onion and the lemon chicken spicy. I ve been back so many times have tried just about everything. It s absolutely delicious I must try!

I had to wait an hour for a table after making a reservation. I would rather he told me not to accept the reservation than if I arrived and told him that I would have to wait an hour for a table. It would waste my time and all the delicious food would be useless.

Always delicious!!! So many options but I always order the same things. My grandmas favourite restaurant

This Cantonese restaurant serves good barbecued pork, and the fried rice noodles and noodle soup are generous and delicious. I especially recommend the lobster, which is delicious and not expensive. This time the porridge was not very good, the steamed scallops were mediocre, and the Vancouver crab was okay. No tip was added to the bill, and the service was good. It would be better if the environment was tidier.

Food tastes good service is so so. Place was busy during lunchch hour overall is good will definitely come back again to try again .

Awful customer service. Worst Chinese food in Markham

The service is very good and the food tastes good. Recommended

The dishes are quite big. Average the food is delicious. Spacing between the tables is good.

I had an amazing experience at Mr. Congee restaurant! The congee was flavorful and comforting, and the selection of toppings was impressive. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that my meal was exactly what I wanted. The restaurant itself has a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a casual lunch or supper. I highly recommend giving Mr. Congee a try!

I bought a roast duck set meal, which said it was a roast duck for two. It cost 65$. It s really a trap! There was very little duck meat, no duck legs, no duck bones. Underneath ten slices of duck meat are shrimp slices. Will not buy again. Very angry

Four of us went for lunch there on Wednesday. The restaurant can be accessed from outdide and inside the mall. Its atmosphere is reminiscent of an old chinese restaurant in need of a renovation. The service was really slow even though there were several servers, and the place was just over half full. It almost felt like we were being ignored because we had to wave servers over every time. We ordered the congee superbowl, which was ok, but weve had much better. The noodle brisket was tasteless, and the veggies were missing. We showed the menu picture to the server, and they brought over a small dish of veggies. The fried turnip patties were good. I dont think we will be going back there again. There are many other congee restaurants that are far better. Parking: Plenty of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible as it is on the ground level

delicious food

great service

A friend recommended their newer Markham location for peking duck, I couldnt make it up there and went to this one. While the wait was very long with no reservations the food and service was well worth it. Excellent peking duck, yeung chow fried rice was proper and had the wok hei. Tried the oyster and scallop on half shell with garlic, they were both good but the oyster was better, the scallop was huge. I think they noticed how long the wait was one in the party was hungry and they comped us char siu pork before any of the ordered items came. Would definitely come back even for regular rice and noodles fare.

got free char siu

I would say its very crowded and cramped but that isnt their fault, really simple design inside. Their squid kebabs flavor was too strong for my personal liking. The food was pretty good though, like the sweet and sour pork. I did see a bit of leftover oil on the cutlery so I had to wash it with their tea, their tea was boiling hot so I burnt myself but that parts on me. Another thing is I wish water was set on the table and ready when you first sit down, but this is Chinese Cuisine so it makes sense. Some of the tables with sheets on them had stains and residue. The waiters are really nice and adorable in a platonic way of course, the staff were amazing overall. There are also cute little sea creatures you can see when you walk in. And I found a secret on my plate after cleaning it with tea... AMONG US.

Serves quickly, food are delicious, affordable and large in amount. Small cons: usually there are lines in the evening/weekends, and it can get noisy. Extra pros: my mother is a vegan and the waitress gave her patience and noted down her restrictions every single time. I really appreciate their accommodations.

Tingzi porridge

The bowl of porridge is huge!

Patrons come here for the daily lunch combo specials or afternoon tea combos as it offers great value. Even if the restaurant is full, you should be able to get seats with a few minutes wait. Food taste is average, but portions of carbohydrates given are huge. Cant complain for the price they are charging. For most people, they will have leftovers to take home. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Our go to restaurant for fine cuisine of southern China. it may get very busy especially in the weekends, but I would recommend reserve table by phone and online, save your day to void long line up outside.

The foods taste good, the serving is generous and the prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is okay and not too noisy. The crews are polite and respectful. But i hope they will improve on making sure that the floor is not as slippery/oily for safety reason. Warning on tipping or gratuity: Suggested to give 10% to 15% Discount: 5% if you pay cash.

Super bad review. I have been patronizing their sliced duck. The first time I had it, the portion was quite large and the taste was very good. Later on, the portion was less. I was not happy about eating it tonight because the portion was too small. , but even though the quantity was small, there were six pieces of duck skin. I was really speechless. The store owner looked like I was greedy and just said that it was like this, haha. I won t be visiting again in the future.

The roast goose was a surprise, the stir-fried vegetables had extra points for adding fermented bean curd, the pork belly chicken was okay, and the pineapple fried rice had too much curry. Overall it was good, very close, and will come again. The business is good and the waiters are very busy and awesome, which shows that the chef is great

This restaurant is very small so it can get pretty busy quite quickly. The food is delicious with intense flavours, definitely no complaints about food quality. Service was not bad, not phenomenal. The value here is pretty decent so I would return.

Very affordable and delicious! I always recommand my friends here when they come and visit Toronto

Decent food, friendly staff and great service. They always treat us well, especially towards my elderly family members and have many regulars who come. My go-to dish is usually the mixed seafood vermicelli (cant remember the name on the menu) with their in-house chili oil.

When ordering in Mandarin, the waiter kept saying that he couldnt hear clearly and was deliberately making things difficult. Service to foreigners is like a pug

Good food. Mid range pricing. Service is acceptable. Parking: Lots of parking spots Wheelchair accessibility: No available in the restaurant.

Great food ! Ordered from DoorDash followed instructions the chicken wings were amazing !!!!! Cantonese chow mien was good too !

Food is OK and prices are reasonable Parking: Plaza parking Food : 4/5 |

Food was ok, but the problem I had in this place was after when we were settling the bill. They said that we didnt tip enough. We had tipped 10% but then asked for more. They wouldnt let it go until we had tipped around 20%. Will not visit this place again.

This is a great place. Good food, good quantity of food and decent prices. They still offer afternoon tea with a free drink and you can add a side dish for $3. Really great deal. Theyll even accept credit card... And right now if you pay in cash its 10% off. Aug 2023 update: theyve updated the chairs and its more spacious with the tables. Quite a pleasant place to eat. Food is good and quantity is quite big. Very efficient wait staff.

Very attentive service, waitresses are friendly and helpful. Most importantly they treated single patron (like myself) normally (some Chinese resto are unwilling to serve assuming I take up space but only consume food for one(?) personally I ve experienced couple times already in the last 1.5 month). So I gave them credits here! Ordered soy sauce chicken & bbq pork with rice. Everything tasted great - even the veggies that came with the rice! Some people ordered hotpot with chicken and wine broth that smelled delicious. May try that out when I come back with a bigger party.

A wide variety of delicious Chinese food, I highly recommend this place.

Prices of all their dishes are very reasonable, the portion of dishes are larger than other restaurants. Recommended dishes are BBQ pork ribs and steamed oysters. Their afternoon tea set meals are also of great value, the afternoon tea set meal special starts at 3pm and ends at 5pm.

Food is already not good. Worst is customer service. But you still need to tips those cheap employees, they will count. Excellent!

Typical Cantonese taste.

The customer service here is beyond bad, i arrived 4pm in the afternoon, the lobby was not too busy, only half full. There were 3 waitresses working the lobby. after browsing the menu for a good while i tried to flag a waitress down to place my order. But i kept getting ignored. A waitress stopped at the table next to me to get the order. I waved at her to get her attention. She nodded at me one acknowledging my wave and entered the back kicthen. When she returned, its like she completly forgotten about me. She completely ignored me and went back to clearing tables. At this time, i witnessed a elderly gentlemen getting spoken down to at the counter. Apprently His son ordered some take out that didnt arrive. The lady at the counter started raising her voice using very abrasive language trying to shift blame. It was disgusting to watch. After 15 minutes of waiting, i was finally able to order my food. When the food arrived i was disappointed. I ordered a fried rice. Including tax the meal was at around 20 dollars. The order had a very generous portion of rice but very little of other stuff. What cheapskates. A extra egg wouldnt have eaten too much into their profit margin i bet.

Bad service. Don t even try making reservations here. They don t honour it. Just go early and get a spot.

I wanted the $145 lobster set meal, but the fish in the set meal was too unpalatable. I usually just call over and replace the fish with rice. I called today to make an order and they said the chef wouldnt cook it because it was too troublesome and they would have to pay extra for it. Its me whos causing trouble. Ill never eat from your house again.

Too noisy . food is amazing but the dessert I should recommend to change it. Staffs are friendly.

My favourite place to pick up BBQ pork.

Reliable eatery. Go for their afternoon specials!

Came here to celebrate friend s birthday. Everything is good except the abalone in the second picture, they charged us $8 each but the quality is piece of junk! They smell bad, overpriced and smelly!

So rude worker

Depends on what you are looking for. We tried lobster with efu noodles. Decent size lobster and more than enough for four persons. Tasty sauce and fresh lobster.

The cleanliness of this place leaves much to be desired. A conspicuous large trash cart, emitting an unpleasant odor, detracts from the overall ambiance.

Busy place but overall good! Food was good and price is fair, well definitely go back to this place.

Only smile when you ask for a tip

A very tradition Hong Kong /Cantonese food style. wide selection of Cantonese food, n lot of free parking on site. come n see. Cheers. Food

Very tasty . Food hot and fresh

Came here for the 1st time and ordered a Tuesday BBQ on rice lunch special for $11.25 which came with a side of spring roll, soup, vegetables and two orange wedges - we thought this was an incredible deal but unfortunately, the BBQ pork was a bit undercooked in the centre. We also ordered a House Super Bowl Noodle in soup for $15.75 which was pretty good. This is definitely a noodle soup for two because there was two of everything, all the meats in this soup noodle (offals) was pretty good and the only thing that we didnt like was the wonton which was made with a mixture of shrimp and fish paste. The server that we had was very pleasant and was rushing around and serving everyone that needed to be served. There were two other waitresses but they were more laid back than our server so I felt bad for her. Over all, you have to be patient to be served, prices are competitive, BBQ pork could be a hit or miss but the Noodle soup was pretty good to me. Keep in mind....after our meal, we were mad thirsty and it seems like there was a lot of MSG and maybe thats why everything tasted so good lol. Still worth a try! Sorry.....we were hungry and thats pretty much a photo of my left overs

The roast duck was disappointing, the meat was moldy, chewy, and inelastic.

Bad food!

It s understandable that a minimum consumption of $400 is required to eat in a private room, but I was told that I only had 1.5 hours to dine. When the time was up, the waiter started urging me.
