One word - consistency! Every time I come here to satisfy my Chinese food cravings, they always deliver a great and flavourful meal. The congee is fantastic, the special fried rice is a go-to, the spicy fried silver fish or squid is another favourite, and last but not least, their buddha feast with tofu is top notch! The portions are big and great value for money. The servers are always in a hurry and aren't the most polite but they get the job done. The only negative comment I have is that they only accept cash, but sometimes they do allow you to pay by debit card.
Always delicious and affordable here! Ordered my favorite wonton noodles (subbed it for thick noodles), a fish congee and a chicken and salted fish fried rice! Food comes out quick and the servers are super efficient! Not the cleanest or newest but love the food!
When the food was good it was good but now it's just meh. Used to come here quite a bit for quick tasty dishes of gai see chow mein, beef chow fun and fried fish in cream corn because it's comfort food! I've had a not so great wor wonton soup (shrimp suffered freezer burn). There was large portions to satisfy a family of 6-8 and pretty quick service. The ambience is pretty much big place and nothing fancy. However, decided to come here for lunch since it has been a while since my last family visit. it was just before the lunch rush so got a table right away and checked out the menu. Lots of items crossed off but it didn't affect me since we were here for a few favourite items. Ordered wonton ( shrimp ) and dumpling in soup - it was a large bowl with baby bok choy hiding at the base. There were 5 dumplings and 6 nice big wontons - those were pretty yummy and amazed at how large they were! We also got gai see chow mein and beef fried noodles(gwon gnau haw ) and portions were much smaller and there was more bean sprouts and onions compared to actual noodles! The chicken was sad - tiny mangled pieces that looked like scrapings off the bone and I had some tough chewy pieces and more sauce and bean sprouts than noodles. The beef dish was just okay - lots of scallions, onions and bean sprouts compared to noodles and sauce was thinner than usual. Flavour was lacking for both noodle dishes like they skimped on oyster sauce or something ! It's too bad when quality goes down but hopefully they will rectify it.
Sometimes you just need some solid good Chinese food! I love coming here with my family. It's busy on most days so, please be prepared to wait a bit. The wait is worth it though! Some of our favourite dishes are the beef and vegetable chow mein, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and the salted pork congee with century egg and chinese dumplings. The portions are generous and the prices are affordable. I like ordering a lot so that we can take home the leftovers! It's a great spot in the Joyce neighborhood and I recommend it in case you want to sit down inside for dinner, or order take out!
we hadn't been to this place in a while, so we thought it would be a breeze to get a table for two. what were we thinking? we arrived at 7:30 pm on a sunday, the place was packed, and we ended up waiting around 15 to 20 minutes before we were seated. it's always a good sign when a restaurant is this busy, but it was a reminder that we should have made reservations, or at least come earlier. once seated, we found that the service was efficient, but you had to work to get their attention--a bit of a challenge when the restaurant is buzzing with activity. after finally placing our order, we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly the food arrived, especially considering how busy they were. we went for a few classic cantonese dishes: congee with salted pork and century egg, chicken chow mein with chinese mushrooms, and green onion, garlic, and chili pepper deep-fried squid. the congee was exactly what you'd want on a cool evening--warm, comforting, and savoury, with the salted pork adding a nice depth and the century egg bringing its unique flavour. the chicken chow mein was another solid dish, with tender chicken and the earthy richness of chinese mushrooms adding layers of flavour. the deep-fried squid was crispy and packed with a punch of flavour from the green onion, garlic, and chili pepper, though a little chewy. we've had better elsewhere. overall, the meal was a reminder of why we enjoyed this place so much in the past. the food was reliably good, offering the kind of comforting, flavourful comfort dishes that are perfect for a relaxing, casual meal. despite the initial wait and the challenge of getting service in such a busy environment, the quality of the food made it all worthwhile. it's cash only at this establishment. we'll definitely be returning--next time, with a reservation to avoid the wait or come earlier to avoid the dinner rush. happy to see that they are thriving.
This is a spartan place to get your homestyle cantonese noodle and congee fix. Decor is plain, service is brusque (w/o being rude), and dishes come out fast. Prices were pretty good for what you're getting. We ordered 4 dishes, the winner being the beef fried chow fun. Great taste, not oily, and good portion size. The noodle soups were tasty but middling and not too large. The stewed beef pieces were tender and the dumplings were large. Unfortunately, the Singapore rice noodle lacked saltiness and there was very little meat nor egg in the dish. If you want noodle for a good price, this could be regular place for you.
Good pricing on items. We enjoyed the noodle soup with wontons and beef stew. Both of the noodle soup were good. However the noodle portion was smaller than I expected. And only the beef stew noodle bowl had vegetable. I believe that all noodle soup bowls should come with vegetable. The presentation of the wonton noodle soup was upside down. All I could see initially was just noodle and nothing else. I thought that was weird. We also order the beef chow fun and singapore fried noodle. The beef chow fun was pretty good but we all disliked the singapore fried noodle. The flavor was off and the curry powder was very powdery.
Congee noodle king is a great place for family Chinese dinners. They have a wide range of classic dishes, hot pots and soup. Very well cooked and generous servings. The service is excellent with very helpful staff who are willing to help. Related to East One Restaurant and Congee Noodle House. Had the crab and five dishes with noodle. The crab was nice and big and it was excellent with the onion and garlic cream sauce on e- mein
Have not been back since COVID. Was out early doing errands, decided to have some congee for breakfast, one of the quintessential item for a Chinese breakfast. The restaurant is open at 10am! It is a no frill Chinese restaurant, they had done some reconfiguration of the tables, not so tightly packed pre-COVID. The tables are nicely spaced, place looks a lot more tidy & clean. If you are looking for congee... look no further, this is the place! We ordered the large bowl of dried oyster, century eggs & shredded pork. Unfortunately they do not have the fried donut fritters that goes superbly well with congee. The congee was flavourful & full of ingredients to the point that the congee was thick like oatmeal. No complaints there. At 10am, you can order fried noodles! It is a full menu available at such a early morning. We were satisfied with our congee.
Not the fanciest place but I love the wonton noodles here. The food gets served pretty quickly after you place our order and all their items have good portion sizes. Probably one of the reason that makes them one of the neighbourhoods favourites! Go early and drop your name as there will be some waiting around. I was also really impressed with the staffs efforts to maintain social distancing. Aside from the tables being more spaced out than usual, I also witness a staff member asking people who are waiting to maintain social distancing when waiting. --- this particular man was standing right next to another table.
This place has great tacos and burgers. I kid. I kid. The name of this joint is all you really need to know. They are the kings of congee and noodles. Well.. close enough, anyway. Whenever I think congee, I envision their green awning near the corner of Kingsway and Joyce. There are other places to go, but it's like Kleenex and tissue or Q-Tips and cotton swabs. They offer a wide variety of savoury congees. My favourite? Pork and century egg. Although, I have also tried their congee with fish and it was pretty good stuff. They do offer significantly more options beyond congee, but all I can think about is congee right now. Oh! You also gotta get the deep fried silverfish (white minnow) with spicy salt and chili. It goes so well with congee. Unfortunately, they haven't had it the last two times I have visited over the past couple months. Btw... Totem is so much better than Kleenex.
August 2022 Just had to come back again for the perfectly cooked wonton in a bowl of a bit undercooked noodle AND my once every month treat - deep fried pork intestines! I only dare to eat this infrequently as it's just too much cholesterol and Uric acid (ouch!). My better half ordered the sweet and sour pork rice - nothing special except at least it's not all fat/grizzle like many other places. Nothing's changed except that I was a bit put off by them asking for more tip when I left only about 12%! Really didn't appreciate this and I really should cut my ratings to 3 stars - but what the heck - times are not great and I guess all food service staff needs a bit more; but it really should be the bosses who takes care of their staff instead of them having to deal with us patrons to get a bit more. ----------
Been coming to this place almost forever especially before the pandemic when they open for late night dishes (a ver popular Cantonese late night dine out tradition). Their food is decent, as for customer service don't have your expectations high, and their prices are fair. Fast forward it after the lockdowns, they are now only open till 8pm and spaced out the dining area a bit more now. This time around decided to eat a quick noodle soup while waiting for the take out order, here were the dine in and take out food we ordered; 1. Assorted beef rice noodle soup. It's okay as expected, the assorted beef were tender and came in generous portion. The soup base was typical soup base use for all soup base. 2. Beef brisket and tendon rice noodle soup. Pretty decent and thank goodness the tendons were soft and tender. 3. 2 Crabs and 1 lobster with butter and cream sauce. Pretty good and tasty. This is one of the very few Chinese restaurants I order live seafood take out from because they are pretty honest on the weight of the seafood and has the fairest price . Most Chinese restaurants over exaggerate the weight and over charge. Overall, this restaurant is my go to restaurant whenever I want to order live crabs and lobsters take outs. Or whenever I am in the area and just want some quick and casual Chinese food. If you love your live crab and lobster then I would highly recommend this place cause for sure you are paying the fairest price and not over paying for an exaggerated weight like a lot of restaurants charge you for and gets away with it. Plus this places doesn't compromise their food quality with their fair price on live seafood.

Havn't been here in years. Can't even remember the last time I came here. Seems like they renovated it, or changed the decor or...something. They did something. It looks a bit more polished than I remember it. We ordered an assortment of dishes. I only ate about half the dishes on the table since I don't eat meat. Prawn with scrambled egg, Prawn & Egg Fried Rice Noodle, and Chinese Mushroom & Soft Bean Curd. Those are the three dishes I was able to eat, along with some plain white rice. Hubby didn't think too much of the Prawn with scrambled egg dish. I was OK with it. Not thrilled but I think I took to it better than him. The Prawn & Egg Fried Rice Noodle was good. It had that "Wok Hei" flavor that we always look for in that dish. I loved the Chinese Mushroom & Soft Bean Curd. A hot pot dish was ordered. It just said fish on the menu, so it was originally believed that I would be able to take part in eating this dish, but when it came, there was also meat in it. As a pescatarian, I can eat fish but I don't meat from land animals. Not a huge problem for me as I was plenty full from eating the 3 aforementioned dishes. It is in principle though, a bit frustrating to order something based on the menu description and then when it comes to the table, find that it has an unwelcome ingredient in it that wasn't mentioned in the description on the menu. Overall, food was very good and it was a welcome departure from our usual neighbourhood Chinese eats which we've been to a few times too many. (imho) read more

Authentic noodle house. The wonton are huge and full of shrimp.. Service is fast and courteous read more
Came here for lunch today. This is our go-to restaurant but prices have increased a lot recently and quality has gone downhill. It is not consistent like before. Somedays it is really good and other days not great. We came here lunch and ordered the 3 dish special which came with soup and a bucket of rice and free steamed chicken. The food was surprisingly good today. read more

I was here on yesterday (Jan 19th) for a breakfast with my family. We ordered Century Egg with Pork Congee($6.95), Mushroom with Prawn Congee ($8.50) and Rice Roll with Shrimp ($4.50) on the side. Congee- it came out piping hot and also had thick consistency. Toppings could've been sliced into a bite size. Prawn Congee had big chunks of mushroom and prawns. This one was a winner! Century Egg with Pork Congee had big chunks of pork as well. We first thought it was a wrong order in the beginning. Rice Roll was good. I wish that cook cut them into pieces, but we managed to share the food together. Rice Roll came as 3 pieces per dish. It was simple and satisfying. Overall, inexpensive delish food without breaking the bank. Parking was expensive, it was $1 per hour at the parking meter. read more
For flavourful, delicious congee, my go-tos are the two Congee Noodle King and House. It's not too pricey and the congee is always great. I came on a weekday morning and before 11 am, they have breakfast specials, which is $1-2 cheaper than regular price on certain items. That day, I had assorted meat congee (liver, kidney, meat ball, stomach, heart). To be honest, I didn't really read the menu carefully before and I don't think I've ever had "heart" in this congee. The congee was silky a d a good flavour, but I noticed that there were less ingredients than before. Perhaps they decrease the amount of food due to the discount? I like to get a side order of sweet Chinese donut and it goes really well with the congee. This wasn't fresh, but still had a good crunch. I also got the steamed shrimp rice rolls - not too silky smooth, but a good amount of shrimp. It's not a fancy place and it's comfort, Hong Kong food. There's limited parking in the back, plenty of residential parking around, or park out front for $1/hour. read more
Large portions and great prices. While the taste is just average, the value of the dishes is good enough to satisfy the craving for chinese comfort food. The restaurant was spacious and clean and service was quick during peak lunch hours. The congee was on the thicker side, but i enjoyed it better than the noodles that we ordered. read more

You know what it is when you enter Congee Noodle King. Of course you are going to get rude service and salty food. There's a reason for that. This Joyce and Kingsway institution serves the community and only answers to its loyal patrons. I've seen couples in their 70s occupying a 8-person; dining slowly while reading their Sing Tao. That's the kind of respect I want when I am 70. Don't come here and complain if you can't appreciate what this place means for the neighborhood. Re. Food, ya it is salty but just ask them to be less heavy handed beforehand. There is always one item on the menu that should satisfy your craving. My reco is the house special noodle (crispy + soggy) and the pork liver congee. It's the quintessential combo. read more
Having come here many times along with family, I've gone back and forth a lot on what I think of this restaurant. Sometimes I think to myself 'wow, I'm probably not gonna have better Chinese food at a different place'. Other times it's fine but I know things could have been a lot better. There's lots of ups, and now and then there's a small down. After much mulling, I think this place is like a box of chocolates. You never really know how good the food will be. Gotta talk about service and appearance first. I'm pretty down about how this place looks. At best it feels serviceable and fine. For me it's just pretty dull. Weird shade of blue on the walls and furniture doesn't really look that great. For some strange reason too, I feel like the TV they have is never on anymore. Not sure why you'd have a TV and then not show anything. This place fluctuates a lot between being almost full of people and it's full of people with another restaurant full of people waiting outside or by the door. Service can be a bit slow or lacking at times just cause there's a lot of fires to handle but I think it's understandable based on the demographic they aim for. Obviously the most important thing about a restaurant is the food. How does Congee Noodle King stack up against the rest? I think on their absolute worst day, the food from this place is still good. That's a really solid standard to have where you can come into a restaurant and feel assured you're getting a good meal. The days where they're able to perform better, you're definitely going to think to yourself that it's some of the better if not best Chinese food you're having. My favourite dish is fook-chow style fried rice and I feel like it encapsulates pretty well what I'm trying to say. Sometimes it comes with too little sauce and I end up having too much fried rice. Sometimes it comes with too much and the end of my dish feels like the last few sips from a bowl of soup. But I never think to myself 'Oh boy this is terrible, I never want to come here again' at all. It's always 'Ehh not as great as that one time but it's not that far off' kind of a problem. At the end of the day, pretty solid place to go eat. Wish there was a bit more consistency with the quality of the dish but that's probably difficult to ask for with how many customers there are and the huge variety of dishes on their menu. Bottom line is that you're gonna have a good meal here and sometimes you're gonna have an awesome one. It's a nice problem to have when you're nervous if the dish is only going to be 'just good'. read more

First thing first I have to say that I didn't order or taste their congee, maybe another day but that said I was very satisfied with everything the restaurant had to offer including the price, I arrived around 11:15am and it was already busy and by the time I left there was a long lineup just waiting to get a table, that's always nice to see, I opted for the Assorted Beef Noodles, the portion was adequate and it tasted good, I was told that there might be a lot of MSG in my meal, which kinda worried me a bit because I had to do a lot of things that day and I usually don't react very well to it but I had no problems whatsoever, everything was Aokay and I was able to continue my day with a happy belly, did i mention the price... $30 for every you see read more
I appreciate this place for being a cheap eat with home style Chinese food. They have the classics for a reasonable price and it taste great. Sometimes they can work on their service for being more fast and attentive but that's just how it is in Chinese restaurant, especially when they get super busy on weekends and they do a lot of take out orders. I enjoy eating in for the food to be hot and not in a to go box. This place is a great lunch spot! read more

It's been 12 years since I last visited Vancouver, and I'm not joking when I say that this was the first thing I thought about - the CONGEE!!! We went to this restaurant over a decade ago, and I got the pork congee with preserved 100 or thousand year egg or whatever and every other congee pales in comparison. I grew up eating congee. It's a serious business in my family and somewhat of a staple. So, yeah, I know my congee. No joke, this was the conversation I had with my cousin who I am currently visiting. Cousin: Hey, what do you want to do while you are in Vancouver? Me: Congee. Cousin: Really? Me: Yes, take me back to that place. This time around I had the fish congee with preserved egg and it was not just on point, it was G.D. punctual. In conclusion, go here for the congee. The ambience sucks. The service sucks. But it's all worth it for the congee. You will not regret it! read more
As always comfort chinese food always recommended to go if you are hungry and be needing congee. Same just another name for congee noodle house. But it got a huge deal if you are coming with a big party. Definitely a to go place to eat big here!!! Recommended read more

A local Chinese man recommended it when we asked where to go for good food. Literally walked us from an intersection to this restaurant! Authentic Chinese. So much variety and freshly made everything ! This is not the Chinese we get at home ( Florida). I had the dumplings with oyster sauce. My husband had the beef with noodles and our daughter has the beef chow mein. All very good! The menu was pages and pages long of different meals! You won't be sorry! read more

There are many big tables here. They can seat 8 comfortably. So if you are in a small group, you may be ask to share tables if all the smaller tables are taken. The food is typical HK style. I had the wonton noodle (dry version) which hit the spot. The wontons were quite big and the noodle was a lot. You could probably share this if you are a small eater, or pack the leftovers. I would come here if I want some comfort HK style food like congee and the noodle and wonton soup. read more

My second time here - this is a go to for my local relatives because of its proximity to their home, variety on the menu, and value for money. I wasn't convinced at first by the outdated décor and disorganized staff on the floor, but my revisit took those concerns away. Probably one of the better tasting Chinese food places in the area to be honest, so there's that to give it more points. It gets busy as it's clearly a common hangout for many families, so call in advance or arrive early! Or just be ready to wait. Or get takeout! Service is limited but the staff are really trying and they have good memory - so be patient! Both times I was here for dinner. Their combo deals have a lot of variety and I was overall satisfied in that I found something I want to eat, and it was decent! The combo comes with soup and rice and dessert so it's your classic Cantonese style dinner all in one. There wasn't anything that stood out - this place is more for casual eats and enjoying a meal together with family. The sweet and sour pork was a bit subpar - but not the worst I suppose. That's probably the most memorable thing to me...but again, already one of the better Chinese meals I enjoyed in Vancouver. And this price point! Really not bad. read more
