Just had a meal here with my aunt, and overall, it was a great experience. The food was delicious and came out quickly. The congee was comforting, while the noodles had the perfect balance of flavors. We also tried their roasted duck, which was tender and full of flavor, along with a sizzling beef dish that had a wonderful sauce. The service was friendly, and the ambiance made for a relaxing meal. Definitely a place I'd recommend for anyone looking for tasty, satisfying Cantonese food in Toronto!

I'd be going here every day if this was in Windsor. GTA chain restaurant - this is the only one in the downtown area. It's only a few blocks north of the Eaton Center and Dundas Station. Huge menu - their specialty is definitely congee. The portions are also huge and always comes out hot and fresh. Reasonable pricing as well. Usually always busy. Especially on weekend nights and lunch. They do have a system that will text you when a table is available when you check in initially. There is seating both on the main floor and basement when it gets busier. A staple for me in the six!

Ordered from Congee Queen via Uber Eats and had delivery to my hotel. Ordered the 2 meats over rice, side veggies of Chinese broccoli and a shrimp rice roll. First the shrimp rice roll was very sticky, I really don't know why I ordered this, it really did not travel well. When I normally eat this in dim sum restaurants, it is absolutely delicious. But it wasn't here. It just did not taste very fresh. The veggie dish was steam veggie, it was ok. Nothing to rave about. And then the 2 meats dish, which I ordered incorrectly. There is a BBQ pork vs roasted pork, totally different thing. I wanted the Char Siu pork, which normally would be roasted, but apparently it was actually the BBQ. Either way, the pork was inedible, I really don't like the crispy skin and could not eat any of it. Overall, incorrect menu item which resulted in my ordering of the wrong thing. Very disappointing dishes and does not travel well for delivery.

Food is really good. Portion size is big. Will definitely recommend. The food is not too salty.

Reservations are only accepted if you have 5+ in your group. If not, you enter your name and party number on a screen once you arrive. After being seated, you're shown to your table where you scan a QR code to place your order. Complimentary, piping hot tea is provided at the table but you can ask for water as well. The chili fried lo bak go was a standout here... don't miss! I also enjoyed the congee (the diced fish was a favorite) and sautéed snow pea leaves. So good. A very nice younger gentleman provided excellent service.

Stopped by Congee Queen in downtown Toronto and ordered chicken & broccoli, fried rice, and noodles. The food itself was solid--good portions and flavors, definitely filling. That said, the experience wasn't great. While sitting downstairs, we noticed a couple of flying bugs around. One of the servers even had to use an electric bug zapper near the cashier area, which felt a little unsettling during dinner. Service was also slow--it took a while to get our tea and water, and by the time it arrived, our food had already come out. Overall, the food is tasty and affordable, but the bug situation and service delays brought it down to 3 stars for me.

Food came out quick! Szechuan Beef had a sweet and sour sauce taste, not much spice. Noodles were good. Eggplant dish was oily but made nicely. Great portion, not bad for the price. You're here for the food, not customer service because it's practically non existent. It's a busy spot especially night time. A safe option if you're struggling to pick a spot for lunch/dinner.

Salmon Congee

Was passing by and very hungry. So decided to have Congee. Had Salmon Congee. It was quite hot. Just what I needed on a cold day. Service was fine. They have lots of seating space. Quite a few groups could be seen enjoying lunch.

Really good food and service. Everything cooked to order. The congee by the wor is very good value. Cheung fun rice noodle with shrimp is great. Beef Brisket is so tender with soup noodle. Convenient location on busy Yonge St.

Tofu skin and mushroom clay pot
Anny L.

Party of four came for late lunch and was seated immediately. We ordered the seafood fried rice, fried tofu, tofu skin/mushroom clay pot, shrimp wonton soup, and veggie in congee. The claypot was salty but all the other dishes were very good. The shrimp wonton has plump juicy shrimp filling, the seafood fried rice had an abundance of seafood bits, and fried tofu was a lightly fried pop. Food came quick and service was as expected. It's a nice place to have a sit down meal in this busy area.

Shrimp and chicken fried rice in cream and tomato sauce
Kevin E.

One of the best Cantonese restaurants I've ever been to. And conveniently located in a touristy area in downtown Toronto! We came here twice for dinner since it was that good and never had to wait for a table since they have a basement level as well so tons of seating. Order easily placed via the QR code provided at the table. Portions are huge! We over-ordered by a lot the first time since we're not used to such big portions in NYC so we learned from our mistake and ordered just the right amount the second time around. Shredded pork chow mein- Noodles were very crispy and the sauce was flavorful!! Definitely one of the best renditions of this dish I've ever had. Shrimp and chicken fried rice in cream and tomato sauce- Always love this dish and the one here was absolutely delicious!! Shredded chicken and duck congee- The only dish we ordered that we didn't love. Very bland overall. A slight disappointment since they are called CONGEE Queen. Fried rice noodle with beef- A classic Cantonese dish. They prepared it perfectly with just the right amount of "wok hei"! Fried chili turnip patties- One of their signature dishes but I found it to be just alright. The turnip patties weren't crispy and I felt like the flavoring could be a bit spicier. This is yet another restaurant with a very extensive menu, which is usually not a good sign. But I think if you stick with the Cantonese classics, you won't be disappointed. I'm so glad we got to try the Cantonese quartet, congee, rice noodles, noodles and rice, here and enjoy all of them. Huge portions are worth another mention here. Will definitely be back again if I'm ever in Toronto!

Delicious dishes with huge portions and fair prices. The food came out fast, almost too fast... they are a very busy establishment and do this to move tables. Servers were polite however and hasty to answer requests. Bathroom needs more frequent cleaning, as garbages were overflowing and a stall was in need of attention. It is also very noise so be prepared to yell haha!

See all

Food 4/5 Service 4/5…read moreAmbiance 4/5 Food: I came here for a lunar New Year lunch with some co-workers. They chose the menu which was a combo deal. There were so many dishes I started losing track. LOL. I also don't know all the names of the dishes as I didn't see the menu. One of the dishes was a fried lobster. They showed the lobster to us (poor lobster) before cooking it. The lobster tasted really good but I'm not used to handling lobster in its shell. LOL. There was a pumpkin soup which I couldn't eat since it had dairy in it. Another dish was a Peking duck with rice paper wraps, cucumber & green onions. This was my favourite dish. Delicious, yummy & simple to eat. Another dish was chicken (I didn't taste that one). We also had a fried rice which was so yummy. Then there was a dish with scallops, oysters, pork & seaweed surrounding it. I tried the scallops & they were delicious. There was another duck dish but this time the duck was chopped into little pieces with some Dessert was a yogurt / jelly type of thing which I can't eat due to my dairy intolerance. Service was really great. I'm not sure if that's because I was at a table full of Chinese people though. LOL. The dishes came quickly & they just kept coming! We had tiny plates to eat from so after the lobster we got clean plates. For the fried rice we had the servers separate it into bowls for everyone. Since we couldn't finish all the food we had them wrap up the leftovers & we took it back with us. Myself & another co-worker split up the leftovers between us since no one else wanted it. Ambiance: The restaurant had some nice lunar new year decorations up. It was pretty. Located inside the Atrium on the Bay this is an easy location to get to. The location was the site of a former restaurant called Spring Rolls. It still looks the same the only thing that changed were the tables & chairs. The washrooms are downstairs in the lowest level of the restaurant. It was hard for me to get down there because my knees are really stiff & painful. It would've been nice if they had a handicap washroom on the main level. The food was delicious & service was attentive. I thought the special lunar new year meal we chose was too much food for six people. I would've been happy with dim sum. Also the washrooms being in the basement was an inconvenience for me. Those who are mobility challenged will have the same issue.

Nestled within the bustling corridors near Eaton Centre, Moon Palace is the kind of establishment…read moreone might unwittingly pass by -- and that would be a regrettable oversight. Behind its unassuming exterior lies a dining room of quiet sophistication: modern, luminous interiors with tasteful appointments that signal immediately this is no ordinary Cantonese restaurant. The dim sum programme is where Moon Palace truly distinguishes itself. Each piece arrives with a precision and generosity of filling that speaks to genuine kitchen pride -- plump dumplings, impeccably fresh shrimp, and roasted meats that carry an unmistakable depth of flavour reminiscent of Hong Kong's finest teahouses. The quality of ingredients is evident in every bite; nothing here feels like an afterthought. What deserves particular commendation is the consistency. Over multiple visits, the standard has never wavered -- a hallmark of disciplined kitchen craft that is rarer than it should be. In a neighbourhood saturated with tourist-facing options, Moon Palace maintains an unwavering commitment to authenticity and refinement. Service is attentive and gracious without being intrusive, contributing to an atmosphere that invites one to linger. I have recommended Moon Palace to friends and colleagues without hesitation, and will continue to do so. A polished gem in downtown Toronto's culinary landscape.

I wanted to try Peking Duck and got clued into J&Y as one of the best options to try which did not disappoint. The Peking Duck was so tender, so flavorful and so wonderfully succulent. It was perfectly prepared and sliced with the fat rendered and thinly sliced. The wraps were not the monstrous steamed buns but traditional translucent wraps which are super thin, soft and pliable. Scallions, cucumber, hoisin sauce completed each wrap which highlighted the duck. Definitely the best traditional Peking Duck preparation I've had in a very very long time. The remains of the duck were used for make a duck fried rice and duck soup, again both were amazing. It takes a certain skill to make fried rice cleanly without an excessive oily coating on each grain of rice. This was one of the best fried rices I've ever had! No gratuitous mushy frozen peas needlessly added either. Well seasoned fried pork ribs and veggies completed the courses I had, everything was truly wonderful and I hope to revisit again.

We also told them we were missing a chair, they never addressed it and we ended up having to get the chair ourself. We ordered the combo dinner for 10 people for $650, there were 10 adults and 2 small kids aged 3 and 1, the restaurant added $12 for goby fish which was already on the combo menu, $14 for supposedly bigger lobsters, the restaurant suggested we order an extra set of wraps for Peking duck, but there was so little duck skin and meat that we couldn't finish using up the wraps; we asked for 2 extra bowls of red bean soup which never came! Btw the red bean soup was so seriously diluted! Overall poor service and too much upselling by restaurant made for a bad experience

The space is styled like a…read morerustic village setting, with wooden booth structures, straw-thatched details, hanging dried corn and chili peppers, and red lanterns that instantly create a warm, festive atmosphere. The use of traditional elements, paper-cut window designs, red Spring Festival couplets, old-style newspaper wall coverings, and exposed brick adds a strong sense of nostalgia. It feels immersive and intentional, almost like stepping into a countryside home in Dongbei rather than a typical restaurant. The décor isn't fancy, but it's rich in cultural detail and warmth, perfectly matching the hearty, comforting style of Northeast Chinese cuisine. The space is unique and perfect for taking photos. The food here is very generous. We ordered the 4-person set with two side pots. Tomato Braised Beef Brisket and Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms and the portions were huge. Both pots arrived steaming hot and filled to the brim, clearly meant for sharing. The braised beef was rich and hearty, while the chicken pot was comforting and full of flavor, making it perfect for group dining or cold weather meals. Combined with the rustic, traditional décor, it really feels like authentic Northeast Chinese comfort food. The food and atmosphere were excellent, though the service was a bit lacking. Prices are reasonable for the generous portion sizes and the unique restaurant décor.

When they provided with a table it was right next to an exterior door, with people going in and out. The was a cold draft, we even had to tell the hostess/manager, if they could provide a divider to divert the draft from hitting our table. We ordered 9 dim sum dishes, one be Roasted Pig Mixed Cold Jellyfish, which was $23.80. I had the idea that it would be a fair portion. When it came, I was shocked, it was only 6 pieces of Roasted Pig. When I spoke with the manager about the portion size, he commented "for that price it is fair". There was not apologies and walked away, nor was it written on the menu. If I had known it was only 6 pieces (size of your index and middle finger put together). I would not have ordered it. If you want to have Roasted Pig, you can get better deals else where. Also, ordered Marinated Chicken Feet for $13.98, when it came to table, it was also a disappointment, part of the chicken feet was dark in colour, not even sure if it was even edible or not. Another dim sum dish that I have order was the steamed chicken with fish maw. The chicken was okay, but there was only two small pieces of fish maw, (the size of each piece was 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch). The order 6 dim sum dishes that was order was mediocre, tasted better from other Dim Sum restaurant. When I received the bill for the meal it came out to be $119.50, they even had included the tip. They didn't even give me an option weather a tip was even worthy. I will definitely not be returning to this place. I definitely do not recommend anyone to come to this restaurant. I would consider blacklisting this restaurant. It's simply deceiving customers. 今天去一家新裝修的點心店吃午飯,真是太失望了。他們為我們安排的桌子緊鄰外門,進進出出的人絡繹不絕。冷風直吹,我們甚至得跟領位員/經理說能不能加個隔板擋風。我們點了九道點心,其中一道是烤乳豬配涼拌海蜇,價格是23.8美元。我以為分量應該挺足的。結果端上來的時候,我大吃一驚,烤乳豬隻有六塊!我跟經理說了分量的問題,他居然說「這個價錢算合理」。他既沒有道歉,也沒有在菜單上寫明,就直接走開了。如果我知道只有六塊(大概食指和中指並排那麼大),我肯定不會點這道菜。想吃烤乳豬的話,去別的地方一定能找到更划算的。我還點了13.98美元醃漬的雞爪,端上來後也很失望,雞爪有一部分顏色發黑,我甚至懷疑它能不能吃。我點的另一道點心是魚肚蒸雞,雞肉還可以,但是魚肚只有兩小塊(每塊只有半英寸見方)。我點的這六道點心味道平平,不如其他點心店的好吃。結帳時,帳單竟然高達119.50美元,還包含了小費。他們甚至都沒問我是否該給小費。我絕對不會再來這家店了。我絕對不推薦任何人來這家餐廳。我會考慮把這家餐廳封鎖。他們簡直就是在欺騙顧客。

The individual New Century slow boiled soup is hardest to share but secure some empty bowls and you can divide the hefty portion. In the winter, there's a silkiness to the piping hot consommé that sooths a dry throat and has an umami essence infused with abalone, ginseng, and pork. There's plenty to choose from in the house signature combo platter including roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork, pork slices, and seaweed salad. Saving my stomach for the later dishes, I had a taste of the duck (a good start with crispy skin) and BBQ pork (satisfactory and well flavoured). With the generous portion of chicken in the combo platter, the slow cooked chicken with abalone broth seemed like overkill. I've never been a huge fan of this dish that's served cold since I prefer chicken hot. Still, I understand it's the jelly layer between the skin and meat that people enjoy. And to be fair, the chicken was tender, and New Century certainly didn't skimp on the ginger and scallion oil. For those who tend to fill-up before the "main dishes", the stars of the combo arrive mid-meal. The stir-fried Vancouver crabs with silver fish in HK style spicy sauce needs to be eaten at arrival as the crunchy coating is best straight from the fryer. And despite not looking spicy, the dish has a light heat that permeates in the background. Additionally, the crab was fresh and meaty, cooked well so it remained delicately flakey. The amount of sweet and sticky sauce used in the stir-fried lobsters with scallion in Maggie sauce was well balanced, lightly covering the crustaceans. Both lobsters were substantial; even after eating many pieces, we still had plenty of leftovers. This is a long review head to Gastro World for the rest.
