Mr. Congee Chinese Cuisine

Mr. Congee meets the standards of Chinese cuisine in Richmond Hill, a heavily populated Asian community. My family and I came here on a Wednesday night and restaurant was at 50% capacity. Food was great except I found the fried squid to be a little on the saltier side. The hostess also seated us close to the exit so when someone left the restaurant, my family and I could feel the cold air hitting our skin. Didn’t exactly have the best dining experience but overall, service was quick and friendly.

This is my family’s go-to place for Chinese. We tried many times and the food here consistently great. We love their sautéed deep fried lobster and crab(preferred crab) ,beef dish covered with deep fried flour(can’t remember the name), and turnips with shrimp were good too!! The only thing they need to improve would be service and hygiene of the restaurant. Otherwise, it’s a pretty decent place for enjoy Chinese food.

We had our fathers day dinner here. Didnt have the freatest table as we were seated in the room at the front which is a big rectangle table(we had to pass dishes around as opposed to havinng a lazy susan). Food was what youd expect of comparing to congee wong style restaurants. Good quality, decent portions. Bbq and roast pork were delicious. Would return if my family chose to but congee wong and congee queen are my go tos.

Very long line up for lunch. Once you do get a table, you will have to wait at least 30 min before your first dish comes out, and this repeats for the number of dishes you order. 45 minutes passed from our first dish being served, waiters have completely forgot about our two other dishes. Absolutely ridiculous and a waste of time. The fried lou bat go - the only dish served to us in an hour after seating - was bland. Just as we were about to leave without eating our the rest of our dish, the second dish was served to which we refused to pay for this dish. I suggest you go to Congee Queen for better food, as well as better customer service and food wait time.

Went in for dinner. Ordered a few dishes. Towards the end of our dinner, found a fly in Gongee. Not sure if it came from the congee or hot oil. Took almost 10 min to get server's attention. No apology from server or anyone and they pretended like nothing happened. Didn't make a fuss as this might be normal for them and I won't ever return there again.

If I can give this a negative scoring, I would absolutely do so. Yesterday I ordered a lobster dish as take out to bring to a pot luck belated Christmas party. Everything was in a plastic bag so when we got to the party and opened it up, it looked like someone had eaten all the meat from the dish and given us the shell remains of a lobster dish. Absolutely terrible and the worse experience I’ve ever had dining. Please see attached photo. Do not order here. Shame on you guys for being such an unethical business. $50 dish for absolute rubbish.
