This is my favourite Chinese restaurant. My favourite dishes are the chicken dumplings(J67), the vermicelli duck soup (E2) and the baked lobster wrapped in lotus leaf (G1). If I want typical Chinese food at home one night I get the dinner for two and a couple extra spring rolls and you have plenty of food to feed the entire family. read more

Quality Chinese food in London, Ontario for a good price. Lots of options ranging from rices to noodles to meat and veg dishes. My favourite dishes are their eel fried rice, sweet and sour pork or any of their congee. I always enjoy coming here. read more

This place is terrible. I have eaten here at least 30 times because my family thinks it's the only (cheap) place to get Asian food and I have hated every single time I have eaten here. I think it is amazing that my family can keep eating there- all my grandma ever comments on is that it's cheaper than Golden Dragon. I can't believe she truly enjoys the food there, but I think she enjoys the perceived savings. It is terrible and the fact that it is thriving is a microcosm of the mediocrity that permeates through London Ontario and that people don't know anything about food. This place (except for maybe two things) doesn't get anything right. It doesn't do authentic well and it doesn't make the fake stuff very well either. I would rather eat neon red Chinese-American fare than Congee Chan. I will break down a couple dishes that my family tends to order. In general, even though I am a guy who will generally complain that food is usually unseasoned, I find the food at Congee Chan to be much too salty. In addition to this, I find the food extremely greasy (a rare complaint from me) and I feel that I eat too much fried batter when I am eating there. Maybe 60% of the time I have been there, I have eaten the lobster. I love lobster, but I hate the way it's prepared there. The lobster is constantly rubbery and they must fry it poorly because it's always disgustingly greasy. I don't understand what's wrong with their frying techniques, maybe they don't wait until the oil is hot enough. I mourn every lobster that has died vainly in the kitchen of Congee Chan. No lobster should be consumed in the rubbery mess that Congee Chan offers. The sauce with the lobster is lackluster. It's just there, it doesn't enhance the flavour of the lobster at all and I wonder if I even taste lobster when I eat it, it's more like seafood flavoured chewing gum. There are over sweetened, greasy pork chops that taste bad and over sweetened, greasy beef ribs that also taste bad. The vegetables are covered in a gross sauce. The two things which are OKAY at this place are the congee and some coconut oil wrapped rice dish. The congee isn't bad, but let's be real- how do you screw up congee? It isn't really spectacular either but it isn't too salty. The wrapped rice in interesting, there are pieces of shrimp and there is a coconut richness with gobi berries in it. However, this is (again) a very greasy dish and you get bored eating it after awhile. So I don't get it. I know Cantonese food. I lived in Toronto for a number of years and would frequent the many Cantonese eateries there. I really enjoy Cantonese food- Congee Chan isn't real Cantonese food. It's a disgusting portrayal of apathetic mediocrity in a city which is all about apathetic mediocrity. My family, having lived in London for so long, have followed this trend of apathetic mediocrity by making this restaurant its main place. I've eaten at this restaurant at least 30 times. Sometimes I have had to come on back to back days because my family has no where else to eat. After the first visit, they have had to drag me kicking and screaming to this disgusting restaurant. I hate it. I don't ever want to eat here again. All the other Chinese restaurants in London, although not spectacular, are far superior to Congee Chan. This includes: Golden Dragon, Green Tea, and Lotus Gardens (Tak Sum is just as bad as this place.... maybe marginally superior...). My grandma supposedly chooses Congee Chan because it's cheaper. I wouldn't care if it was free, I never want to eat here again. read more

Please teach your staff not to over promise. "I'm sorry, we had a busy service and were unable to fulfill your order in time." is a much better response than "it's almost ready." but then make us wait for 30 mins. Don't order your holiday dishes here. Not recommended. Go on less busy days. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening with family. This place was nearly full at 5pm. There are some excellent reviews here and authentic Chinese is what we were after. We originally ordered the grouper congee however we were told it wasn't available :( We went with the sliced fish congee instead (YUM) and then three main dishes plus a fried rice. Huge portions! More than enough for 4 people. I wasn't a fan of the fried rice so I ordered a steamed rice. The main meal was really good. Service was ok. It would have been nice if a server came in to check on the meal. It was clean. Food came out quickly. I'd recommend for anyone looking for good Chinese food in London. I'd also suggest coming during non-peak times for better service. read more

Tried this place for the first time tonight and was definitely not disappointed. I ordered take out and got the General Tao chicken & rice, it was amazing! They packed so much in my take out container I probably have enough for 3 meals. Very reasonably priced too! For sure will get food from here again read more

The numerous choices , excellent quality and taste and the quantity along with reasonable pricing make this our go to Chinese restaurant !

The interior of the restaurant is very modern, brightly lit and very new looking. The chinese food served here are all very Americanized versions of the traditional dishes, with the exception of the congee, which are mostly accurate. My favorite, more traditional congee is the preserved egg congee with minced pork or duck. This is the kind of place I would visit with my north-america raised university friends but not with someone more traditional who values traditional recipes, such as parents, or grandparents as they would be greatly disappointed. The chinese food here is more suited to the tastes of someone who is north american born or raised, as the flavors of the actual dishes are very mild or non-existent (aka bland). In the past I ordered a spicy eggplant casserole with minced pork and fish sauce dish, but was disappointed, The dish I ended up getting was not spicy at all even when I asked for extra spicy, there was virtually no visible pork in the dish, the eggplant they used was the inexpensive ones you can buy at no frills or any normal grocery store, and the eggplant wasn't cooked or stewed enough to be considered a casserole-type dish. Overall, a good restaurant, but north americanized taste buds may appreciate this place more than traditional taste buds. read more

Highly recommend the grilled eggplant with minced pork. Out of this world flavour. Don't forget a side of rice!

If you're looking for authentic, try somewhere else. The food itself isn't bad but definitely not authentic. One dish in particular that I ordered is supposed to be very spicy. The waitress even warned me when I ordered that it would be spicy. But when it came, it not only didn't look the way it was supposed to, the taste was way subpar. Sure there was spice, but not at all what it was supposed to be. Overall not bad for Chinese food in London. Reasonable prices and clean restaurant. But bottom line, not authentic. read more

Last night had a great evening at Congee Chan. I was surprised to find such a nice interior in a place such in a step mall; modern and very comfortable. The wait staff was terrific and also were game for ordering for us. As this was out first time there we asked the server to bring us four selections that would show of the restaurant. She brought us two vegetable dishes and 1 meat and 1 seafood. All for were really tasty and served fresh and very hot. Some people have been writing about authenticity in their reviews. I can't speak to authenticity, but it sure is tasty an it is definitely not "red sauce" Chinese food, chicken balls and pork. Our bill was fifty five bucks for four. No booze. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in London. The food here is pretty authentic, the price is very reasonable. Good amount of seating as well, I rarely ever have to wait. Granted some items are not going to compare to what you can get in the GTA in terms of authenticity, but it comes darn close. For the London area this is definitely my go to place when I'm craving some congee or ho fun with beef. They've also got a pretty good fried lobster dish. The only item I've ordered here that I wasn't a huge fan of was their salty fish and chicken fried rice. Mind you it's still pretty good for London area, but the flavors were just a bit off and the dish was a bit greasy. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place for authentic Chinese food in town! read more

I've had congee here at least ten times and they have always delivered perfection. Very large portion sizes at really cheap prices, it hits the spot when you're stomach is a little upset at you and you need a nice warm meal to keep you going. I haven't tried any of the other food at this place, but I mean it's got Congee in the business name. Don't be a sissy and just try one read more

Ordered delivery here when we visited in London. We ordered the beef tenderloin, shrimp wonton soup, chicken fried rice and Cantonese noodle. Everyone was really good. The beef tenderloin was tender and large portions. Impressed by the jumbo.shrimp used for the shrimp wonton. The food was initially delivered to the wrong place..so there was a delay in receiving the food...but the delivery guy was really nice and.apologetic about it. Would definitely order from here again. read more

Generous portion sizes, clean restaurant and delicious food. Definitely a place to be visted more than once. The szechuan shrimp and spring rolls are excellent. Prices are very reasonable. The only shortcoming is that service is not particularly great. This coupled with some mistakes on our order prevented me from giving five stars. Nonetheless this place is a must-try for good Chinese food in London. read more

Thoroughly impressed with everything about this place. Great food, amazing portion sizes, courteous staff! We haven't had one bad entree - our favourites so far are the hot & sour soup, lemon chicken & General Tao chicken! The only not-so-great thing so far were the spring rolls - they were a little greasy but still good, they just weren't up to par when compared to the rest of the meal. Overall - highly recommend!!! Enjoy! read more

We were visiting some local relatives who live in London and we were taken here to have lunch. Congee Chan is very modern with clean tables, chairs, and decor. The bathrooms are clean as well! We had a family meal for 8 people and thoroughly enjoyed everything. I would say that it was the best Chinese food that we had while we were visiting the Toronto area for a few days. My favorite dishes was definitely the lobster, which had a great presentation and was well good flavor. The fried rice was well done along with the pork chops (which definitely had to be my favorite dish!). There was your standard soup and bok choy with mushrooms. Overall, it was a great meal with great service. The manager came out to say hello to us and asked us about our trip. I have been to a number of Chinese restaurants in Orange County and in the LA area. I would dare say that Congee Chan is up there along with some of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the LA and OC area in California. Congee Chan has that Hong Kong style flavor that is appealing to many Cantonese people alike. My mom even told the manager "You need to come to California! You will do well there!" Congee Chan, think about it. ;) read more

Authentic Chinese food. Great portions for reasonable prices. Helpful if you go with someone who speaks Mandarin so you can order things off-menu! read more

I usually never get Chinese food outside of the GTA area to avoid chicken balls and chop suey on the menu but I was pleasantly surprised by Congee Chan. With the modern and clean décor, you could almost convince yourself that you're in Markham. The menu at Congee Chan brings traditional Cantonese offerings that are well prepared and appropriately portioned. We ordered a few standard dishes - snow pea leaves with garlic sauce, sweet and sour pork, Cantonese chow main and green beans with minced pork. Dishes were all good. Definitely quality stuff here. No free house soup or Chinese dessert so we ordered a round of red bean ice cream and mango dessert to finish off our meal. Bill with tax and tip in came to $80 - slightly more expensive than Chinese places in the GTA but I think worth it for the quality of the dishes. Other bonuses - free WIFI and wait staff that speak both Cantonese and English well. read more

Great place for a quick lunch. We had the Corn soup with shrimp and Singaporean style fried rice with schezhuan chicken and the dry fried shrimp. It was a pretty great lunch for a quick stopover. Prices are cheap enough for the ample sizes. Two of us ate and took home a big parcel as well. Definitely would come back often. read more

Great food, reasonable prices. Generous portions. What else can we ask for from a food establishment. They hit all the points.

tea is good, but everything else is way to salty and big. but food is cheap which is really nice

One of the best things about this place is the interior as the layout is well organized. And there are numerous servers on staff who all seem to work together very well like a well oiled machine. In terms of the food, we ordered the Taiwanese fried vermicelli with seafood and garlic, stir fried seafood with chinese broccoli, and stir fried rice noodle with sliced chicken in soya sauce. The food was very fresh and plentiful but the Taiwanese dish could've used more seafood and the chicken noodle dish was actually lacking in a little bit of that umami flavour you get from soy sauce. It was also lacking in that smoky wok hei flavour I often look for in stir fry dishes. My favourite dish was definitely the seafood with chinese broccoli as both the seafood and vegetables were very fresh. Other than the minor quibbles, my experience here was pretty good. I would definitely come back here. read more

Congee Chan - Bubbling pot of congee! Yum! - Chinese Near Me - London, Ontario

I'm a big fan of this place. I've visited several times and it's always good. The congee is definitely a highlight, with B19 shredded pork w preserved egg being the fav. Some dishes are stronger than others. The best dishes I've had are those I spotted diners eating at other tables. read more

This is some of the most authentic Chinese food I have had in Southwestern Ontario. I come here every time with 3 other people and order 3 dishes and 1 bowl of congee and the total is always under $50! Our favourites are the Peking style pork, beef chow fun, super bowl congee, and the salt and pepper pork chops! read more

The prices are so reasonable and the portions are huge. Also, they don't skimp on ingredients and their ingredients are fresh. The actual restaurant has a nice ambiance as well. read more

Best Chinese food we have found in London!! Our absolute number one go to place when we visit London and want Chinese. The food is fresh & tasty! The service is quick and friendly! Love the General Tao chicken & shrimp wonton soup! The portion sizes are very generous. We enjoy the meal & are able to get a second meal from every visit! Have been a half a dozen times & never dissappointed! read more

Love this place. We loved to order the combo to go. They are great at accommodating to dairy and no MSG. I have never encountered a problem and the staff are all helpful. Great food and good price for the portions!! read more

Came here twice and it was very busy both times and had to wait 10-15 min for a table. The place has a modern design with booth tables and big round tables. The congee is quite good and the dishes we ordered tasted great but just a bit too oily. Their sizzling hot plates are something to try alongside the congee. Price is higher than Toronto but average for London. Service was REALLY slow during busy hours, waited over 20 min for food to arrive. The place seems to be popular as it is always filled with students.. read more

We have been here twice - last time was Christmas Eve. Place was busy as most restaurants were closed. Lots of dishes to choose from. Big portions, great taste, friendly & fast services and good prices. Would definitely recommend Congee Chan. The Cantonese Chow Mein & Curry Chicken on steamed rice are delicious !! read more

Owner personally delivered food to Western campus. Super quick turnaround - from order to food in hand within 25 minutes. Great food, great service. 10/10 would visit again. read more

Great food & excellent service. It can be a little pricey if you're ordering outside of their general delivery area but you get huge portions so it feels like it's worth it. We will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Lived in LA & the Bay Area. Eaten lots of great food in Vancouver visiting family. Visiting London. Felt like Chinese. Held no great expectations for Asian food. VERY happy. You should eat here. read more
