    Shanghai noodles is actually just chow mein
    Far K.

    If there's one thing to know about Toronto it's that is has an abundance of Hakka food. This place is not special in any shape or form. The food is below par, the indoor is basic and the customer service is inattentive. We ordered - chili chicken, vegetarian fried rice, Shanghai noodles with vegetables, Shanghai noodles with chicken, chow mein with vegetables in Szechwan sauce, vegetable spring rolls and paneer pakora. The only food remotely worth eating is the paneer pakora, although it tastes like fried batter in tandoori masala. Spring rolls tastes like the frozen ones you can get at the supermarket that's been deep fried. No taste what so ever. All the portion sizes are small compared to regular Hakka restaurants and prices were a bit more than places like China Cottage, Lucky's, or Hakka No 1. The first thing I noticed, they don't know what Shanghai noodles are. You can see my pics. How can the chow mein noodles and Shanghai noodles be the exact same?! Second, when you order something vegetarian does that only mean cabbage and 2 strands of carrots? Like the vegetarian options is horrible. It's only cabbage and two pieces of carrots for the vegetable Shanghai noodles, and the chow mein didn't have anything besides it being tossed in random chili sauce that was already on the table. The chili chicken looked old and not that good, the vegetable Shanghai noodles was obviously not Shanghai noodles and it had 6 small pieces of chicken mixed with cabbage and onions. The vegetable fried rice was heavily cooked in garlic, you could basically eat the garlic. When complaining to the server/owner she didn't apologize for giving non Shanghai noodles or for the bad taste. She didn't even off to take it off the bill even though it was untouched! Most places would take it off the bill right away. Anyways wasted my $80 for crappy food, and service. Do yourself a favor don't listen to other reviews because I'm being honest and I've been yelping for years now. Trust me!! Eat somewhere else. The food is not worth it.

    Great spot for some good hakka food. The taste was very good and the portions are pretty decent as well. Some of the dishes that have a spice beside them are actually decently spicy (something I find not the case for majority of the restaurants, but that's just me). The service could've been a bit faster/more attentive, but friendly staff.

    This is place is my favorite to go to for Chinese food lately.. I used to go to Kingsley but thr closed down.. Used to be my favorite for contonese chow mein.. And couldn't find another place to compare at all.. We all come here now especially for chow mein.. The owner remembers us everytime we go in and are so friendly.. I'm so happy that I've found a place not the closest to home as I am in the other side of Brampton but it's worth the drive for the food and service.. I definitely recommend this place to everyone for the food and atmosphere with great employees and owner..

    Awesome service. Corn and chicken soup was quite flavourful. Ordered the sweet and sour chicken lunch special. It was nice and sweet just like me as the server said! Good experience overall.

    A rare site, empty dining room!

    The food is always great here. Top notch Hakka options. I would label this the best Hakka restaurant in Brampton (and there is a lot!)

    This is undoubtedly one of the best Chinese restaurants in Brampton. Everyone I've brought here has…read moresaid the same--it's one of the best dining experiences they've had. The fried chicken is an absolute must-try. It's on the saltier and slightly spicy side, but if that suits your palate, you'll love it. It's incredibly crunchy, flavorful, and satisfying. The fried rice is also excellent--comparable in taste to what you'd find at Congee Queen. The portions are generous; one plate could easily feed two people. What keeps me coming back is the "Meal for Two" combo, which is a fantastic value at under $60. If I remember correctly, it includes dumplings, fried rice, fried chicken, General Tao chicken, and spring rolls. Every item is cooked to perfection and full of flavor. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend giving it a try.

    Tried Green Bite after a friend recommended it, and we had a great early dinner here with family…read more We shared Pan Fried Pork Dumplings, Steamed Chicken Dumplings, Mongolian Beef, Shanghai Noodle with Chicken, and Chicken Wings. Service was honestly one of the best I've had in a while. The staff were friendly, responsive, and knew how to read the room. I also really appreciated how well they made use of the space. A lot of places this size end up feeling like takeout joints with tables, but this one was cozy and thoughtfully put together from top to bottom. Now onto the food. Overall, everything was good, but the wings were easily the standout. Perfectly fried, seasoned with just the right amount of spice and heat, and absolutely addictive. If you're coming here, ordering the wings isn't optional. They're a must. Other dishes, like the noodles and Mongolian beef, were a bit on the mild side for my taste. Maybe I'm just used to something with more kick, but they leaned a bit safe. Not bad at all, just felt like there was room to push flavor further, especially after tasting how well they nailed the wings. Dumplings were hearty and filling. I personally prefer a thinner wrapper, but these had a wholesome, satisfying quality that still worked. If the area is the reason they're keeping things mild, I get it. But I'd love to see what they could do in a more adventurous food neighborhood. Either way, it's a solid spot and I'd be happy to come back if I'm nearby.

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.

    This Congee Queen is located in the Heartland Town Centre shopping area. It is a large location…read morewith 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.
