This Congee Queen is located in the Heartland Town Centre shopping area. It is a large location with many tables with an area for larger groups or when the restaurant get busier. It is a nice local spot to get your Chinese food cravings fixed. Their menu seems to be the same for all locations, the only difference being the price, all locations potentially the same other than the downtown location. See their website: https://www.congeequeen.com/menu.php and select your location. It has been a while since we have eaten at the Congee Queen outside of the Toronto (Dundas/Yonge) location, so we were a bit surprised at the price difference (8-10% difference). This location (Heartland Town Center) feels like it has the right price for the menu. With cash, you also get a 10% discount. We were here on a Wednesday for an early dinner around 15:30 - 17:00 and it was about medium full for the main area. People were coming and going at a good pace. For our group of four, we ordered: - B3 Salmon Congee $11 ($12 downtown) - H11 Chicken Salted Fish Fried Rice $18.25 ($19.75 downtown) - K34 Fried Bean Curd with Veggie $19.50 ($21.50 downtown) - K42 Salt and Pepper Squid $16.50 ($18.25 downtown) - K53 Fried Chili Turnip Cakes $13.75 ($15.00 downtown) Service was a bit slow, but not the longest as there were only 2-3 staff taking orders that day for about 15-20 tables. If you signaled for assistance, they will come. Once ordered thought, the food came out in about 5 mins and all the dishes were ready soon after. Tea is refilled on request, just ask. As usual, the fried rice and congee is what they are known for, it was excellent as usual. Depending on the group you go with, YMMV, but for our order combination, this usually works comes out at the same time and everything is hot and tasty. The turnip cakes are the softer type and they even accommodated checking for shrimp. They are usually good about seafood checks. All in all, great experience. With the discount and tips all in, it was less than $100 total at $25 per person. It has been a while since we've eaten out with a group at that price point. Will keep in mind to meetup at any of the non downtown locations in future. read more

Came here for family lunch on Sunday. We made reservations ahead of time of course. I recommend if you are planning to come here you should do it as it is ALWAYS busy here. Jenny made everything so smooth from ordering, to our requests and up until we finished up paid the bill. She was patient and kind which is what you need when being this busy. As for the food, well it's normal Congee Queen consistency. Normally good, maybe sometimes a little salty but nothing outstanding. Overall good for the price. read more

The food is really quite good and the value for what we paid is also amazing. My favorite dishes were the eel fried rice, the Cantonese style fried noodles, the sweet and sour pork, and the fried turnip cake. The fried squid and congee were also great. I ate with a large group of people and we still had left overs to take home! Service was quick and efficient as well. There is a discount if you pay with cash. read more

A solid go to in Mississauga. It's a little more pricey compared to the other Chinese restaurants but they are always consistent. Our favourite is the fish noodle soup. It's 16.99 and comes with two toppings and a drink. It's perfect for the cold weather these days. The restaurant is big and nicely decorated. It does get really loud and echoed sometimes but nothing that prevents us from enjoying our meals. The service is quick and prompt. Don't expect a fine dining service though! read more

Absolutely unacceptable experience at Congee Queen. The service was shockingly rude from start to finish. In particular, a young female staff member displayed extremely unprofessional behavior. I heard her using profanity openly in front of customers, which is already unacceptable in any setting. Even more disturbing, she appeared to assume I did not understand Chinese and spoke negatively about customers right in front of me. Whether intentional or not, this kind of behavior is deeply disrespectful and completely inappropriate. On top of that, a middle-aged manager approached and immediately spoke Cantonese without even asking if I understood, showing zero awareness or consideration for basic customer communication. This was not just poor service -- it felt disrespectful, exclusionary, and frankly insulting. In a city as diverse as this, there is no excuse for this level of unprofessionalism. I will not be returning, and I strongly suggest management take accountability and seriously address staff behavior. read more

The pumpkin and veggie shark fin was thick and warming. It had good pumpkin taste and the veggie shark fin was really just vermicelli. The turnip cakes were the highlight. They were slightly crispy outside and soft in the inside. Additionally, all the little mixins it was cooked with (egg, shrimp, dried turnip, cha shao, etc) were yummy The beef and bitter melon was just ok. It was super bitter and there were large chunks of beef that weren't scrambled out. read more

Menu appeared vast with variations, descriptive, and fancy names. Vast parking lot. Highly recommend scheduling advanced res. Grateful to our cousin. Outstanding customer service from the hostess who allowed us to check in earlier since everyone in our party was present. Absolutely loved the private room with round table conversations! Our server was very attentive, refilled our beverages and napkins, and visited periodically to see how everything is going. Diced Chicken w/ Salted Fish Fried Rice: Salt seemed addictive in this particular fried rice. Chicken and fish integrated well together. Kept returning for more. Yeung Chow Fried Rice w/ Shrimp & B.B.Q. Pork: This fried rice was also tasty with the culmination of ingredients. Wouldn't recommend for those with shrimp allergies. Roast Pork: Oh my gosh! Crispy skin has a tasty crunch which is super yummy, yet unhealthy. Reminded of pig skin from lechon. Lol! Salt and Pepper Shrimp: Flavorful with all the seasonings. Skin is tasty and crunchy. BBQ Duck w/ Shrimp Chips: Tender and succulent. Shrimp chips add a tasty crunch. Fried Sweet and Sour Pork: Able to taste sweet and sour sauce at the same time. Pork was moist. Skin could be a little crispier. Stir Fried Beef w/ Chili Black Bean Sauce: Tasty, succulent and thinly sliced beef that goes well with flavorful, mild black bean sauce. Cantonese Chow Mein: Fresh seafood, tender chicken and sliced beef and sauce complemented the crispy noodles. If I lived in CA, I would love to dine in and taste various entrees more often. read more

Congee Queen is the go to place for everything Chinese Food. They have a huge menu that pretty much covers all Chinese Food from A to Z. For breakfast, you can opt for the traditional comfort food of Congee, fried Chinese donut, soy sauce noodles, rice noodles, etc. For dinner, you can op for their dinner family style plate, or the quick fix Beef Chow Fun. All the dishes we tried were spot on. Lot of staff, but service can be slow, especially for tea refill. Evenings are packed especially during dinner time, but you can get a table easily after 8PM. read more

Congee Queen is always busy but their Chinese food is good. Highly recommend calling and making reservations before going in person. They have a pretty big menu and food comes out extremely quickly. We recently tried their catering service and it was very efficient. They asked us to call the morning of and four party trays ready by 5pm. The sweet and sour pork wasn't as crispy as in person and it still came with a lot of onions instead of meat. Their fried rice and canton Chinese noodles were filling and a good portion for our party and everyone ate everything! read more

Congee Queen never disappoints. The chow mein noodles were crisp and light, paired with a rich sauce that pulled everything together. The squid came in generous, crunchy pieces, the sweet and sour pork hit that perfect sticky-crispy balance, and the turnip cakes had a soft chew that was spot on. Whether it's a big family dinner, a girls' night in, or a quick lunch, there's something for every occasion. read more

I came for Mother's day with my family, and the restaurant was busy with a wait time of around 30 minutes. The food was good, but the portions have definitely gotten smaller over the years. I will point out, my husband & I are an interracial couple (Black & White), and it was very obvious that we were not treated the same as other customers of the restaurants key demographic. We brought our 2 yr old son, so it was the 3 of us .. we saw waitresses going around to other tables wishing them a happy mother's day all cheerful, but when they got to our table, they just said hello and asked if we were ready to order. Only when we were paying our bill did our waitress finally decide to be in a better mood and smile, and attempt to make friendly small talk. I normally wouldn't comment on this type of issue as I want to believe people don't hold prejudice, but it was very apparent and I didn't appreciate the rush or disregard from the employees. read more

Every time I'm in town, I make it a point to visit Congee Queen--it never disappoints. This is hands down the best Chinese food in Toronto. Our table of six ordered enough for twelve because the menu is so diverse, and everything looked too good to pass up. The large round tables with Lazy Susans make sharing dishes seamless, and the service was top-notch. Our server, Jenny, went above and beyond--attentive, friendly, and even packed and labeled our leftovers to go. She also offered to take a family photo for us, which was a thoughtful touch. The food came out hot, fresh, and perfectly cooked. Not a single complaint. Even the bathrooms were clean, which isn't always the case in busy spots like this. Highly recommend. Great job to the team--keep it up! read more

Congee Queen was surprisingly really good. This location is next to Seafood City at the Heartland Town Centre. The interior is very spacious and can seat a lot of tables. Parking is easy. They have a very big parking lot. Bathroom is in the back. The menu is quite extensive. It's really hard to decide what to get. When in doubt, go with the congee. It's what they're called anyway, right? There was a wait even at 9 PM on a weekday. I only had a party of two, but they told me 10-15 minutes. During this time, I tried reading the menu items. It was so hard; they have too many choices! They even have cool drinks. There is a small waiting area with a bench by the entrance. I ended up getting a bunch of food so of course I had leftovers. The congee was amazing. However, it tasted a tad sour the next day. It may have been from adding vinegar?? (also posted on Google) read more

Congee Queen is my go to spot for a big family dinner. We're always satisfied when we eat here. The service was okay, they're often very busy Love getting the turnip cake from here. So fluffy and potato-like, savoury with a little kick to it. The cheung fun was good but had to ask for more of the sweet soy dipping sauce, didn't feel like it was enough so I needed more flavour. Beef ho fun is my go to noodle dish at any Chinese restaurant! The noodles were so soft Roasted duck and char siu platter is my absolute favourite meat dish! Very flavourful but the duck this time was very fatty, not enough meat. read more

Great seafood and I hate seafood and even I can appreciate it!!! Service was way better than what you would expect from an Asian restaurant so props to them!

Congee Queen has been a staple for cheap Chinese food! The good: cheap and fast. Great value if you come between 3-5 pm on weekdays. You can get bubble milk tea or red bean + ice cream Room for improvement: The food tastes hit or miss sometimes. The duck and chicken was delicious and soft. But the portions and bones made the dish come a little bit short. My wife had the shrimp dumpling soup. The soup had little taste. Good thing it was cheap though. Overall, I'd still come back and explore other dishes. It's cheap enough to come frequently without breaking the bank. read more

I just finished lunch at Congee Queen with my husband, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. I ordered the Cantonese Chow Ho Fun, but the BBQ pork and mushrooms had a sour taste. I informed both the manager and the waitress about the issue, but they did not seem concerned and simply told me that "the kitchen said everything is good." There was no follow-up, no offer to replace the dish, and no effort to take care of the situation. I left feeling very dissatisfied with both the food quality and the customer service. read more

The food was alright, our service was mediocre. It seemed like our order kept getting mixed up. There seemed to be a lot of miscommunication. Our server also did not seem friendly and seemed rushed. We were not given/offered water even though we asked. Secondly, we were given one menu for a table of 4. Given that, some of us ended up using the online menu. We ordered the lobster super congee but they brought out one large bowl of the lobster congee and tried to bring another one for us(?). My first time here so I told them no, as we already got ours and we only ordered one. Because I looked at the online menu, it was stated that the large bowl was $28.50. When we got our bill, it was $39.50. Don't get me wrong, the pricing would've been fine if their online and in person menu was the same. They really need to make sure their menus matches so they don't disappoint any more customers. Overall, giving them a 2 star since their food was actually decent compared to their service. Disappointed since I was actually hearing so much hype about this place. read more

I've been here many times and can honestly say that the food here is amazing. I specifically always get the deep fried chicken wings, sweet and sour chicken, and fried rice with salted fish and chicken. I'm not quite sure how exactly they make the rice and wings but when I get it from here it always hits the spot. The fried rice has this perfect salty savoury flavour that I can't recreate at home and the chicken wings are always super crispy and piping hot when you get them! I think the way they designed the seating arrangements is well thought out. They really maximized the available space without making the place seem stuffy or messy. They have seating for pretty much any group size from a cozy couple to a whole extended family (10+ people). Service is pretty fast and straight to the point so no complaints there. On a couple occasions they have messed up my order but they were quick to fix it and for a place this busy it was understandable. This is definitely a staple restaurant for me. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning for brunch and the place was extremely busy - definitely plan ahead if you come at a later time or even a typical one! We got here early to avoid the rush and the place was packed within a few minutes of us getting seated. The place felt relatively clean and was super lively due to the sheer number of people there. Service was fast but not all that friendly - typical Chinese restaurant vibe where things are moving quite fast. The food was pretty delicious and portions were large - we left feeling quite stuffed. I loved the congee and you tiao personally, but everything was delicious. I'd love to come back if I'm ever in the area again - thanks! read more

Returned to try some Lunch Set Combos. The Fried Rice Noodle with Beef and Black Bean Sauce was fabulous and 'spot on' for flavour. I would order this again. The General Tao Chicken Rice was deep fried with a slightly spicy sweet and sour sauce. Both dishes came with an egg drop vegetable soup and vegetable spring roll. They tasted ok, but I would be fine ordering the noodles again on its own. Portions are generous and servers were attentive. read more

Highly recommend this eatery for classic Hong Kong style foods that include almost anything thing you can think of when you were in Hong Kong, the menu is extensive and portions are average. I know the menu is vast but you have to try their famous pan-fried turnup cake. I been here a few times and every item I choose is delicious. The service is great too. The interior is warm and inviting which in a way makes you want to order more food to try. Parking is limited outside but available as it is in a strip mall. read more

Long live the Queen! Congee Queen has long been one of our family's go-to restaurants. So for a family occasion, we headed to the Heartland location. This spot has a distinct high ceiling resembling cool porcelain. Underneath is busy with diners. Our winning formula is congee with assorted sauté and appetizers. This time we tried: - Fried Oyster w/ Belachan Sauce: large crispy pcs wrapped in a fragrant garlic sauté. - Supreme Super Bowl Congee: silky smooth with shrimp, meat balls, egg & meats. - Beef w/ Mushroom on Sizzling Hot Plate: well-executed with tender beef & umami flavor. - Pan Fried Prawn w/ Kung Pao Sauce: tasty sauce but slightly overcooked & sloppy plating. Still overall a solid meal despite a misstep on the last dish. The menu is extensive for those feeling adventurous. What keeps us coming back is the consistent flavor at all locations. This spot offers delicious dishes, with generous portions at generally an affordable price point. Hence the loyal patron here! read more

After hearing a couple people hype up Congee Queen, the experience I had this past Friday afternoon was nothing more than mediocre. If you go on a weekday afternoon, you can take advantage of some of the deals (lunch set combos) they have, which is getting a free drink with select entrees. My friends and I came hungry and we were ready to eat. The food came out pretty quickly after we ordered. SHREDDED PORK & GOLD PRESERVED EGG CONGEE - 9 This was probably my favorite out of everything we ordered. It was hot and hit the spot with its familiar flavors of minced pork and preserved egg. While it was a bit bland and the texture was more on the gloopy side, I enjoyed it and was reminded of my mom's congee. SLICED FISH CONGEE - 9.75 This one felt incredibly bland and the sliced tilapia in the congee was overcooked and dry. I couldn't really taste much of the sea brininess that I'd expect for a fish-based congee. A bit of dried scallops in the congee would have done the trick to enhance the flavor. Overall, disappointing. ASSORTED SHREDDED MEAT CHOW MEIN - 16.50 The noodles themselves had a good texture. You can get a bit of crispy noodles along with noodles that have been soaked in the gravy for a longer period of time. However, I wouldn't recommend getting this with meat. I highly recommend getting the seafood option which is a classic. I also wasn't a fan of the bell peppers that were stir-fried in, haha. ROASTED DUCK RICE I forgot the price for this, but it might have been 14-15. Lots of rice, more than we can eat but it's good rice. The duck looked good but the taste was plain and underwhelming. There wasn't much duck meat but lots of skin/fat and bones. The duck looked juicy (because the skin was glistening) but the meat itself was dry. The veggies on the side were bland. I wouldn't recommend this here. LEMON TEA Three of us got the lemon tea for our drink of choice because we wanted something refreshing and citrusy to go along with our meal. The drink comes in a nice glass with a few slices of lemon. It looked refreshing and you'd think that the lemon slices would add character to the drink. However, the drink was nothing but sugar. It was incredibly sweet and I immediately recoiled upon first sip. If you aren't a huge sweet tooth, this drink really isn't for you. I'd highly consider something else. One of my friends got the "Fresh Red Bean Freeze with Ice Cream" drink and it was probably 2/3 ice cream and 1/3 red bean. He enjoyed his drink for what it was and would recommend that over the lemon tea everyone else got. Overall, our experience was mediocre. Perhaps, the move is to try their supreme congee options, but we went with the basics for the lunch combo deal, lol. read more

Was introduced to this restaurant by a friend and have gone back a few more time. This restaurant is very busy so that tells you a lot about the food and that it must be good otherwise it wouldn't be so busy. This place serves, what I think, the more authentic Chinese fare than what you would see in the common North American type of Chinese food. Portion size is meant for sharing as you get lots of food. You can dine in or take out. read more

I was visiting and first time here at the Mississauga location. It was afternoon tea time special when I got here. Food - good selection of HK style entrees to select from during tea time. Meal includes drink or red bean dessert with ice cream. We ordered quite a few things. Best was the beef tendon lo mein. Portions are huge and tasty. Service - we had a great server and met all expectations during meal service. Ambiance - large place, tall ceilings, nice modern decor, comfortable seating. Would definitely come back here! read more

This place truly has it all, and the prices are especially reasonable if you're dining with a group. The congee was delicious, and while the crispy noodles were good, they could have been a bit crispier for my liking. My friend ordered most of the dishes, and I definitely recommend going with more than two people to fully enjoy the menu. Unless, of course, you're just there for the congee--it's worth a visit on its own! read more

Congee Queen is definitely my comfort food. We always go there for many family events because we can try and share many dishes. Our usual order consists of congee, vermicelli, fried chili turnip patties, and spice & pepper salt squid every time. They always taste good and maintain their quality. Recently, we tried the empress fried rice, and it was delicious. If you are a fan of eel, you'll absolutely love it! The general tao chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served with a flavorful sauce. It's irresistible! The BBQ duck is cooked just right, neither too tough nor too soft. However, I found it's a bit salty. The service was alright. We went over the weekend, and it was quite busy. However, we had made an appointment, so we didn't have to wait. The entire ambiance was spacious, with plenty of tables. read more

Came here with my friend on a Friday night and it was super packed! Thankfully we were still quickly seated. There are a huge variety of options ranging from congee, to rice, to fried noodles and side dishes, to desserts on the menu. Would definitely recommend taking a look ahead of time before coming in otherwise you might spend 20 minutes just trying to decide. Once we ordered, the food came out pretty quickly. We got the beef and broccoli side dish, the House Special fried rice, and the crab e fu noodles. We also got the Hong Kong milk tea pudding, which was definitely the highlight of the meal for me! The other dishes were good, but nothing super special to me. I think I would still choose to go to a local food stand in chinatown instead. Portions were very big and we both brought home a box of leftovers! Glad I tried it, but wouldn't come again regularly. read more
