I've come here a few times for the congee, fried dough, and wonton noodles. The fried bread dough is always fresh whenever I purchase. The noodles and congee are ok. Congee is a bit bland, but it's nice to have when you feel like something warm. The wonton noodles are alright as well, it isn't as good as the specialty stores that sell wonton noodles only, I think it is the soup base, it's not the one I am used to that gives me the satisfaction of knowing this is a well made wonton noodle. The service isn't quick, but it isn't slow either, it's just in between. The glass window they have is really nice to watch while you are waiting for your food as they fry the bread dough in from of you. Definitely a good place for a quick lunch or takeout, lots of selections and sometimes can get busy. The cashier is usually pretty nice there, it's can get busy at times. read more

杰悠麵 Happy Congee is a fast food style, takeout food stall located in the food court area of a popular grocery store called Field Fresh Supermarket. Known for their Soup 湯 , Congee 粥品 , Steamed Rice Rolls 腸粉 , Snacks 小食 , Noodles 麵食 , and Lo Mein 撈麵。 Though I've had better 油條 Youtiao, this fried dough stick was denser dough, and it was one of the better items ordered that went well with 艇仔粥 Assorted Congee. Assorted Congee Combo comes with Steamed Radish Cake 艇仔粥 + 蒸蘿蔔糕。Assorted Congee had beef, pork, shredded squid, peanut, green onion and lettuce 碎牛肉, 豬肉, 魷魚絲, 花生, 蔥及生菜絲。 The Shrimp Dumpling Noodle Soup 淨水餃 麵湯 tastes homemade and didn't taste like it was overly flavoured which was nice for a change. If you prefer more seasonings they have chilli oil, salt, white pepper, hot sauce, soy sauce and hoisin sauce, which you can add to your taste. The Sesame Seed Ball (Jian Dui) 煎堆 was huge and it came directly from being fried so it was nice and puffy. The Steamed Shrimp Rice Roll sprinkled with sesame seeds 蝦米腸粉 撒有芝麻 was quite tasty. Cash only. read more

I had high expectations based on all the amazing reviews but was sadly disappointed. We got the ja Leung ( dough fritters wrapped in rice rolls) , minced beef congee and steamed beef rolls. The beef congee was really plain and they skimped out on the nuts and green onions which imo gives is the fresh taste. The Jaa Leung was not crunchy and soggy and tasted a bit sweet . I love this side dish normally but could barely eat more than a few here :(I messed up and put the hoisin sauce and sesame sauce on the beef rolls but it still tasted the most comforting/best. The dough fritters were delicious when I bought here last year so likely the only thing I'll come back for along with the beef steamed rolls. Total was $14.5 for the three dishes. read more

With the recent price increases, that is expected. What is not expected is the rounding up of prices... Lately, the price listed and quoted to what is charged and change provided are very different One example is a 10.00 purchase was quoted $11.50. When did tax become 15% again? What peeved me was with a $20.00, was only provided $7.50 with all coins (loonies, dimes and nickels) They have now lost me as a long time customer and will bring my patronage to more honest and deserving shops read more

Tasty and value! Definitely recommend if you've never been before. Congee is not too watery compared to other places. Make sure to call in advance because the line is looong. Based in the food court, they keep food quality high and low prices. read more

Happy Congee - Congee, rice noodle, spicy meat sauce with egg noodles - Food Court Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Love it!!! I mean freshly made fried dough.. eat it with or without congee!!! Is a must get for sure!!! It's located inside a supermarket, so it's not somewhere you would take your date to (unless your date love fresh made fried dough).. it's a food court, not a fancy place with waiters to take your order and clean up after you!!! So bring wipes if you want to clean the table... You order with the person by the register... she know what's she's doing and she's efficient in what she does... it might come out as if she doesn't smile or she is not being courteous... but she gets your order right and if you do ask her question and make special request, she accommodate!!! I would love to go back whenever I will be in the area!!! Still dreaming about that fried dough!!! read more

Really quick service, this place is definitely a hidden gem. Everything is made fresh and the prices are really affordable. We ordered a couple of things: fried dough (made fresh!), congee (beef & preserved egg), spicy meatsauce noodles, and a beef noodle. Super delicious and cheap! read more

This is a stall in the food court of Field Fresh supermarket. Notably, the food court has some stalls selling Southern Chinese food which goes beyond the usual Cantonese dishes, of which this is one. Had the Chinese fried dough snacks: you tiao (fried dough sticks), Ham jin peng (fried doughnuts) & Ox-tongue pastry/horse ear pastry. The first is relatively easy to find in the GTA (it's sold packaged in supermarkets) but I haven't seen the other 2 here yet. The you tiao was a bit dense but fresh, warm & crispy & had a good taste.  The Ox-tongue pastry/horse ear pastry was pretty good, but rather light tasting (Butterflies, which I'm told they also do, are tastier). The ham jin peng was decent. It was the salty kind, though it was rather light tasting (it didn't seem to be the variety with five spice powder, and it certainly wasn't the kind with red bean paste or with glutinous rice). One of each of the 3 was $5.50 including tax. read more

Happy Congee is a childhood GEM. It is a long lasting food stall in the food court of a super market that stayed even as super markets changed over time. There is a lot of available parking in this shared plaza with restaurants, small shops and salons. Happy Congee has classic Cantonese dishes ranging from Congee, Noodles, Noodle Soup and Street Food. Their main popularity is their Cantonese style, smooth congee that can be topped with a variety of toppings. Congee is a classic Chinese staple among East- Asians cultures and can be eaten any time from breakfast to dinner. Portions are on the smaller side (perfect for a quick meal) but matched with a low price as well. Although prices have increased slightly over the years, their quality has not diminished and they're still very reasonable and affordable compared to other food court stalls. Most importantly, they still provide a lot of comfort and deliciousness. As a typical grab and go, you are able to order as take out or have it at their food court tables relatively quick. All their congee also comes with a generous handful of chopped lettuce and peanuts. I strongly recommend their beef slice congee- the meat in the congee is unbelievably tender and complements each spoonful of congee. Now, their congee is very flavorful- which probably makes it more filling due to it being on the heavier side. They're known for their clear windowed kitchen in which you can see them make and deep fry their dough fritters fresh daily. The fritters are popular to pair with congee and also used in their Zha Liang (rice flour rolls wrapped in dough fritters) served with a peanut/hoisin sauce and soy sauce. The fritters were very soft and spongy on the interior with a crispy exterior bite. Shrimp rolls were alright- reminiscent to the ones you get from classic Chinese Dim Sum. Cash only! read more

Yummy food. Good price. Standard portion size. This place is very busy so expect to wait in the morning busy hours. Or you just place your order and then go to browse at the supermarket.

Seen lots of good review about this eatery! Happy Congee located in a food court inside a Chinese supermarket.

She was efficient and friendly ! The price of the foods were reasonable, food size were just right too ! Would recommend and definitely come back to eat on site when indoor food court re-open ! read more

Happy Congee - I have ordered spicy tofu, fried noodles, two type of rice noodle roll and different kind of deep fried bread sticks ! - Food Court Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Happy Congee is one of the food court vendors in the food court inside the Field Fresh grocery store. It is definitely the most popular one (longest lineups), but I'm not sure why, as I was not crazy about the food there. I went with my parents and we got food from 2 places, Happy Congee being one of them. We got an order of Shrimp Rice Rolls ($3.10), a Chinese donut ($1.50) and an order of Pork Pudding and Minced Beef Congee ($4.50). They accidentally gave us Preserved Egg and Minced Beef Congee instead but my parents didn't realize it until they ate part of it. Dad doesn't like to make a fuss, so he just ate it anyway. My mom said it was one of the worse congee she's ever had. She said it was so bland and she regretted buying it. I don't like congee so I didn't have any. However, my mom loved the Chinese donut. She said it was so crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They make them there in front of you so you can see. They are fried in this gigantic vat of oil! The shrimp rice rolls were ok, but lacking in shrimp. They were hot and the rolls were chewy and not too thick, but at $3.10 I didn't feel like they were much of a deal considering I got another order of shrimp rice rolls from the dim sum counter inside Field Fresh and those were only $2.59 and they had much more shrimp. I guess I would just recommend this place for their Chinese donuts, not their congee. Congee 1 star, Chinese donuts 4 stars, shrimp rice rolls 3 stars, so overall 3 stars (rounding up). read more

Sunday Dec. 22, 2019 - I recently watched a Mandarin drama called "Put your head on my shoulder". In many parts of the show the actors/actresses ate youtiao with congee. I told my friend about it and he said he eats it every now and then. I asked him if there is a restaurant that he goes to buy youtiao and he told me one of his favourite restaurant is "Happy Congee". So we set the date. When we got there my friends ordered everything. As I walked around and checked the other restaurants out. The service was fast, plus it was nice to see them fry the Youtiao. We all tried everything and loved it, the congee was yummy and tasted very good with the Youtiao. The sticky rice dumpling with sauce was so good, we had to order more. read more

I swing by to pick up some veggies and meat to bring to my friend's house for hotpot. Boy was I lucky, they were just making the sesame balls and Chinese doughnut fresh!

[LOCATION] - 4/5 This place is located in the food court of Field Fresh Supermarket near Steeles Ave. E and Middlefield Rd. Plenty of parking spots at the plaza. [SERVICE] - 5/5 The staff really knew how to manage the crowd and were also quick and efficient when we visited this spot during the lunch rush. [DÉCOR] - 4/5 I liked the concept of the transparent glass panel, which allowed us to see the chefs deep fry dough sticks and create other delicious foods. [QUALITY] - 4/5 Quality of rice rolls were pretty great for a food court stall. The dough stick could have been a little crispier, but tasted fresh overall. [ORDER] - 4/5 - Beef Congee with Plain Rice Roll Combo - $5.80: definitely worth the price for a cheap, filling, and delicious breakfast. Beef congee was a little salty, but plain rice roll tasted so soft and paired so well with hoisin sauce, peanut sauce, sesame seeds, and chilli oil on the side. - Rice Roll with Dough Stick - $2.80: very inexpensive and comforting. Dough stick was definitely fresh but not crispy enough in my opinion. - Shrimp Rice Roll - $2.95: shrimp was delicious and paired well with the rice roll [OVERALL] - 4/5 I would highly recommend Happy Congee for simple, affordable, and delicious congee and rice rolls. I really enjoy how you can customize your own condiments because I can cover my rice rolls in that delicious hoisin sauce, peanut sauce, and chilli oil. read more

A food court institution in North East Scarborough back to the T&T days when it used to be the main tenant of the building. Now it's part of the Field Fresh Supermarket. As you walk into the supermarket, you'll see their stall on your immediate left. It's one of the most popular vendors in the food court there. The main thing this place has going for it is the freshly fried chinese doughnuts. They're amazing and are the best around. Straight from the giant wok, you seem them freshly frying these delicacies. We always get the fried doughnut stick and the sweet one. I haven't had a better sweet one anywhere else. Everything here is just so soft, very airy and light. The congee is also a popular choice, and you can also get a combo with a soy drink. I guarantee you everyone going there will get one or two, or all three of these items. The congee here is quite silky, a decent amount of ingredients in there. Tastes clean and not too much MSG, perhaps completely devoid of it. read more

Happy Congee - Food Court Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Happy Congee is a small restaurant located in the Field Fresh Supermarket food court. They're located immediately on your left as you enter the building, and they proudly display their giant oil-filled wok through a glass pane for all to see. You can't miss them! While they have a full menu, this is a perfect place to get a quick fried dough snack on your way in to do some groceries (you know what they say about groceries on an empty stomach, right?). If you love youtiao, then this is the place for you: hot, always fresh, and quite the bargain for $1.60 (taxes included). I've been here several times and always found them to be consistent on quality, though perhaps a tad oily: the youtiao are always being bought as quickly as they can make them, they don't get as long to drain as I'd like. That said, I take my cue from my mother-in-law (a real youtiao connaisseur), who always looks forward to enjoying a Happy Congee youtiao whenever she visits from Montreal. For the price, you really can't go wrong. read more

Happy Congee - Freshly fried youtiao - Food Court Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Happy Congee is located in the Field Fresh Supermarket plaza at Middlefield and Steeles. When the original @tntsupermarketcanada closed, the original kiosk owner moved to the outside units called Original Congee (since closed) while the inside reopened as Happy Congee in its place. . Serving traditional Cantonese style breakfast fare such as congee, noodles, rice rolls etc., its's a popular neighbourhood joint. The food here is pretty good but for us the standout is their freshly made fried Chinese cruellers/donuts. . Chinese cruller/donuts, "yau tiu"(油条) are fried double pieces of dough that is eaten with congee, soy milk, soup or whatever else you want. As a kid we always called it "yau zha gwei" (油炸粿) which means "oil fried ghosts/devil " which apparently represented some treacherous general and his spouse. Who cares as long as it tastes good! . They also make a mean "ngau lei so" (牛脷酥) aka Ox Tongue Pastry which is sweet and "haam chin beng" (咸煎饼) aka Salty Fried Pastry which is of course a salty version. At about $1.50 each they are so cheap that no one makes them at home! 4 outta 5 for freshly made oil fried devils! (Man that sounds weird when you translate it!) read more

Yum! Can't beat this place for the price This congee place is tucked away in the food court of an older strip mall. They offer a selection of congee, fried items, and noodle soups. Prices will run you from $2 to $6 for a dish, and my family of 4 was happy and fully fed for under $40 for lunch. As with most casual chinese places, you can never be too sure about the hygiene, but the food is tasty and cheap. We loved the fried dough sticks (you tiao) in particular - they were perfectly fried, crispy on the edges and soft in the middle and not too greasy (and fried in oil that wasn't super dark and looking like it had been reused a thousand times!) We all are also huge fans of the assorted congee (decent amount of squid, fried pork skin, minced beef, lettuce, and peanuts used), which had a pleasant texture, and didn't leave us desperate for a glass of water at the end (aka full of MSG). Skip the steamed radish cakes (very meh - it tasted like steamed rice flour with very little radish, and has those tiny dried oysters in them as well, which have a flavour you need to develop a taste for) and get the jaa leung (those same fried dough sticks mentioned before, only they're also covered in a thin rice sheet and smothered with as much sesame and hoisin sauce as you'd like) instead! All in all, we enjoyed the food here and would definitely come back! read more

This place is not fancy. It's a small little stall in a food court next to an Asian grocery store, but their deep fried goodies are the best! You can see them rolling out the dough and frying everything in a giant wok of oil right in front of you. We always get their deep fried dough sticks and the round salty dough fritter with sesame seeds on top. They go deliciously with their piping hot congee! Fantastic comfort food, especially on a cold day. They have a bunch of other goodies too - steamed rice rolls, noodles, etc. Cheap and simple good eats. Cash only of course. read more

Overall - 4.0/5.0 A good and cheap congee place inside the food court section of Fresh Field Supermarket. As I mentioned in my earlier review for Original Congee which is also in the same plaza, this place excels in a couple areas in comparison to it. The dough sticks are by far the best that I have had anywhere and the rice rolls have great texture, especially the plain ones. The vegetables with oyster sauce are fresh and nicely steamed. Will definitely be coming back here often and try some of their other dishes as well. read more

Glad to see that the "Original Congee" (粥粉之源) location has re-opened as "Happy Congee" (滿粥) inside the Middlefield & Steeles Food court (formerly the T&T plaza)!

Thanks to Jennifer K 's info that the Original Congee owner is opening up a new store in the same plaza but not inside the food court. However, its interesting that the cashier told me they are from the Original Congee. read more

STILL OPEN! I love that you can watch what they are frying up and their food preparation. There is a small inner kitchen for steaming rice rolls and cook more complicated things on the menu. If you like liver, you should try their pork liver congee, otherwise the other congees are okay too (some may think it a little watery because they boil up their white rice congee and add the ingredients to match what type of flavour you order on the spot). Their fried bread items are what I drive all the way here for, they are freshly made and absolutely delicious with sweet and savoury options. Steamed rice rolls are made on the spot too. I will sometimes order their beef brisket for a dinner dish to enjoy at home or for work lunches. Love this place! There can be quite a line and they may be sold out by the later afternoon! I have brought Asians who came to Toronto to get food here and they say it is seriously legit. read more

We wanted to come to the grocery store this congee place is located in so we had breakfast as well. We got the minced beef and plain rice noodle (cheung fun) combo for $6.55 (tax included). The congee came in those take out soup containers and boy was it fresh. The fresh peanuts were so crunchy and the beef was so flavourful. The congee was also so so so so hot. I definitely burnt my tongue a few times. But the congee was just too good. The rice noodle on the other had was a little too thick and chewy for my liking. It came out hot but I didn't like the texture. This congee place is in the food court so its self serve. Seperately the minced beef congee is $3.80+tax and cheung fun $2.80+ tax, so youre just saving a bit with the combo. I would definitely come back and just get the congee and the fried donut next time. read more

Happy Congee - Food Court Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I am quite happy with Happy Congee. We ordered one noodle soup ($5), one lo mein (noodle without soup) ($6), one spicy tofu snack and one dried shrimp cheung fun (rice roll). Both noodles tasted quite good, and were well portioned. If factoring in the prices, the deal was excellent. I dare say it is pretty hard to find value at this level in Markham/Richmond Hill (this place is just across the street from Markham, so Markhamites will patronize too). The tofu tasted meh, and the cheung fun tasted average. But at their absurdly low prices (below $3 each) and above average portion, the Scrooge in me told me to stop complaining. The cold soya beverages have been diluted. Skip it. read more
