Why the 4 stars? Keung's makes me miss home town. Keung's is a typical Hong Kong style neighbourhood restaurant that you can find anywhere in Hong Kong. Similar menu items, similar cooking style, similar pricing strategy. Food: Keung's offers large portioned, delicious food that is loaded with salt and MSG. Flavourful is the characteristics of all the dishes we have eaten here. While we usually order low the mid priced items, Keung's also offers more expensive flair such as whole crab on rice. Price: Food is reasonably priced, which is a typical characteristic of a neighbourhood restaurant in Hong Kong, because neighbourhood restaurants survive on repeated businesses from, you guess it, the people who live and work in the neighbourhood. Services: Typical again. They don't smile much to you unless they recognize you as a frequent patron, then they chat you up. read more

3.5 stars for Keung's! Great choice for dinner with the family - lots of dishes to choose from here. I am a huge fan of their peppered "hot pot" soup with pork bones and veggies (see photo). Other items I tend to order over and over again include their soft shell crab fried rice, pork chop and onions with rice, chicken hot pot rice, and clams in spicy broth. They can get busy on weekends and finding parking can be a pain in this plaza, but I would recommend going to Keung's for some good Chinese food. read more

Keung's is a staple in Markham as it's been around for a very long time. A great Chinese restaurant to enjoy with your friends and family. P.S do yourself a favour and order their Fried Chicken Cartilage. It's absolutely addictive. So juicy with a nice crunch!! read more

I'm a big fan of the Keung's at Midland and Finch so it was only a matter of time before I gave this place a try as well. Pros: Very good congee portions are very good Cons: Not as big as the other Keung's Came here on a Sunday morning for breakfast. We were originally going to go to a HK style cafe in the same plaza but all of them were super busy and we didn't want to wait for a table. We were the first customers of the day so we had our choice on where to sit. This Keung's is definitely not as big as the one I frequent at Finch and Midland. After about 15 minutes, the place was basically full and anyone else coming in would have to wait. The turnover time here is not as fast as a HK style cafe so it could be a wait depending on busy it is. On to the food. The menu is the same one as the other Keung's so you'll know your way around if you already frequent that one. I had the special salted pork bone congee which was on sale at the time. My GF got the pork chop noodle. We ordered some dough fritters for the congee as well. My GF's noodle was pretty good. She noted that they give you a lot of noodle. The bowl is not the biggest, but they pack as much as they can. On to the congee. I'd have to say this was one of the best congee's I've ever had. The salted pork bones they use give the congee a great bast taste. The mustard greens give a contrast to the salty nature of the congee. The pork bones themselves were a higher quality cut then you're garden variety ones you can find in a Chinese super market. I'm not a fan of the preserved egg, but the congee was so good I didn't mind. We ordered the super bowl size and for $8.99, it was worth every penny. All in all, it was a nice experience. It was a blessing in disguise that all the HK style cafe's were full and we ended up here. I will definitely be back for the congee again when I'm craving it! read more

I usually come for the tea time specials and occasionally for dinner. My last visit was during tea time. To describe the experience in two words: overpriced mediocrity. My husband got the black pepper chicken rice which consisted of 80% rice with a funky tasting black pepper sauce and some fried chicken. If you want to upgrade to the baked version with fried rice, expect to pay $1 more. That special cost $8.95 and included a special drink ie. Red bean and black jelly drink. I got a fried soft bone chicken which was really tasty. However I've had ones comparable or tastier for a smaller fraction of the price. I don't know if I'd go back for tea time given the higher prices. read more

Keung's Restaurant - Deep fried Spicy soft bone chicken - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Great food, with lots of new interesting varieties I've never had. The service manager is really good at her job but the waiters are a bit lacking in friendliness / responsiveness. Good oysters on a stick, wonton noodles, baked chicken over rice, seafood congee (had shrimp and squid and some other stuff), fried fish cake in eggplant (i don't even like eggplant), tofu stew (this microwaved well the next day too!). We also got War Mein, that wasn't so good, it was like the stuff you get at a wedding and always so under seasoned and soft. We actually went here twice this year on our trip because we liked it so much :) I rarely go back to a place twice on a trip because I want to try new things all the time. read more

I must be honest when I first walked in and looked at the menu I wasn't sure what I was going to get. We ordered way too much, one dish each person is way more than you will need here. We ordered Hot and Sour soup, Soy Sauce Beef noodles, Shrimp Wonton noodle soup and the Garlic Eggplant hot pot. The menu is massive, in fact they have two menus. The larger menu consists of congee, noodles, lomein, lo rice and other selections such as spaghetti if you can believe it. Looking at the menu I was a bit worried as to what to expect. Well, it was tasty. I'm a big fan of Hot and Sour soup, and the Hot and Sour here was tasty and actually was spicy and Sour, usually hot and sour is neither at most places. I would go back over and over again to eat the Hot Pot Eggplant, the next time I go, I'm ordering that and steamed rice and that is it. One side note was the wait staff took the time to inform me the "Garlic Eggplant Hot pot as pork in it, in case I was a vegetarian" I'm not, but thought that was a nice touch. The acoustics in this place are not good at all, it was only about 2/3rds full and at times I could not hear my wife talking. Very noisy. Be prepared to yell if you go when its busy. Its average run of the mill Chinese, I will return when I want to go to a place that offers everything and try some other things. read more

Don't order the so-called "Chicken Balls with Rice" dish (菜遠雞球飯) from their Afternoon Tea menu. It's a misnomer. There are no chicken balls and instead, it's cheap chicken strips (like the kind you get with noodle soups) in a goop of thick starchy sauce (茨汁). When I asked the server about this, he was like, "yeah, it's kind of like chicken balls but in strip form". Ugh. Waste of my $10.45. Rice was also hard and not fresh. read more

Have you ever had something your whole life and thought this is probably the best it's going to taste? That was my thought about congee until I had it here. The chicken congee and Chef style fish, shrimp & crab meat congee was simply amazing. The cooking time for the congee was perfect, which resulted in the finest texture. The seasoning was perfect; it tasted heavenly. I live in Boston, and I have never had congee this good. Definitely the best place for congee hands down. Despite that, we ordered other things as well. The soy sauce chow mein, albeit a simple dish was excellent as well. My friends told me to eat with with the congee, and they were right, the noodles complement the congee very well. My friends also ordered the turnip patties (law bak go?), I didn't try them, but they said it was a bit under seasoned. Anyways, if you are around the Scarborough area, definitely give this place a try, they are worth the trip! read more

First, if you thought you are lucky for finding a spot to park right in front of the restaurant, move your car. The Landlord decided to set all the spots in front of the stores as reserved parking, and have been known to ticket customers. So, to summarize their food....lack of taste would be pretty much summed it up. The Wonton has almost no taste, the Baked Chicken Steak Spaghetti has really bright red colour, but not reflective in how it taste. The Seafood Fried Udon is the best tasting because it has some taste to it. The fact that it came on a hot plate may have more to do with it. The complimentary drinks finally came after we've finished eating. The Ice-cream Red Bean Drink is blend. The Red Bean has absolutely no taste whatsoever. The didn't even bother putting sugar in the paste. My hot yin-yan...I can neither taste the coffee nor tea. It was so bad I have no idea what I have drunk. Service wise, almost non-existent. It is very did disappointing. Did they change ownership or something? read more

One of my must stops in T.O. is Congee Wong! My MIL recommended Keung's instead this time to try and because she's such an awesome foodie - we went to check it out. We got congee (of course) in Lai Wan (very tasty) and Special (has liver chunks). The congee was really tasty and my hubby had an OMG moment over the flavorfulness of the special congee. We also got Chinese donut (very crispy), Singapore radish cake (not as good as Congee Wong, but decent), and crispy noodles (ok). My GIL says that usually the meals come with a free drink and after a simple asking of the waitresses we got free hot drinks (milk tea, ying yang milk tea, coffee, and lemon tea)! The prices are very reasonable (much cheaper than in the States for sure). Restaurant itself was clean and I can't wait for the next time I'm in town for more! read more

Came here after swimming classes tonight. We haven't been here in a while and it's going to stay that way. The food wasn't too great but deserves 3 stars. The dishes could have been a bit bigger. The home style vermicelli was rubbish to look at but tasted ok. You can get much better from a food court stall. The place was half full and not as busy as it used to be. I much prefer Conger Queen to here. What made me give a 2 star rating was the service. Service here has NEVER been any good but tonight was crappier than ever before. Miserable, rude, uninterested staff. Looking at us like we killed their whole family. Was extremely bad, even for Chinese standards. Why would you come here for food and be treated like crap? You could get away with it years ago, when we basically had few options. But in this day and age, it's totally unacceptable. I'd even go to Power King over here. read more

Good Chinese restaurant; came here for lunch; Place is very spacious and seems clean. We were seated quickly. The congee was delicious; so was the rice noodle rolls. However the rolls were Hong Kong style with a lot of sesame sauce on it; they were more like snack to me, unlike the ones I usually have, with meat and vegetables inside and soy sauce all over. Servers were young and energetic; they were very polite to us; however when they talked amongst themselves in Cantonese, it was loud. (I didn't mind it too much tho....Seen worse at other Chinese restaurants) Will go back again to try their other dishes. read more

Came here for their afternoon special/super early dinner on a weekend. The afternoon special menu provides a rather big variety, ranging from meal sized dishes to snacks/side orders. It also comes with a generous list of beverages that comes free with the food. We ordered: - Guilin style soup vermicelli: The flavour was on the sour side, but not in a bad way (more like an "appetizing" kind of sour). Generous amount of minced meat and preserved vegetables on top. - Baked beef brisket on rice with curry sauce: Curry sauce was pretty good and the beef brisket slices are large and nicely cooked. - Red bean/grass jelly ice cream float: Delicious and not overly sweet! Overall, fairly impressed. Dishes were generously portioned and flavourful, and prices are competitive. Would come back again! read more

Having a late bite due to some meetings, refraining from eating anything heavy Keungs seemed to be the safe choice to eat at. I believe this may be the 'original' Keung's location at Peach Tree Plaza (Kennedy and Hwy 7). Craving some Chinese comfort food we ordered their seafood congee (big-bowl) served with shrimps, squid, scallops and salmon, 3.5/5 Rather than ordering their fried dough, we opted for their Chili turnip cake, which I've had at other locations. Slight crunch on the outside, soft inside, nonetheless it was tasty about a 4/5. Overall the service was 'OKAY' and their prices are really reasonable. In terms of cleanliness, its about a 3.5/5. read more

My favorite spot to visit every time i come from NYC. This place has the best free range chicken. You can eat the skin and not worry too much about gobbling up large gobs of fat. I also come here for the crab rice! It has delicious fish roe imbedded into the rice. It is also presented very nicely with a large leaf to hold the whole crab/rice. I wouldn't neccesarily come here for the drinks I recommend Preso in the same lot but Keung does have good lemon tea. read more

I ordered a "Free run chicken hot pot" for take out. $16.95. What I got was a box of messy and greedy bony small chicken pieces with some Chinese cured sausage, pork liver and onions. Onions was 80% of the dish. Chicken was 10-15%. What the fck?! So mad. Im giving one stars because their steamed free run chicken rice noodle soup/congee is worth it, cheaper and also.more chicken and better chicken. Do the math. Anyway not only the price didn't justify, don't mislead customers on the frigging menu. read more

This places is a must for us every time we come to Toronto (we are from Boston). I love the eggplant dish. Something about it makes me want more. The chicken congee is so smooth and flavorful. Goes very well with the eggplant dish. The rice noodle with peanut and hoisin(?) sauce is very delicious. Their homemade chili oil on the table is amazing! Dip a little of that chili oil with the rice noodle is like heaven! We like the chili oil so much we had to buy a jar of it to bring home. Highly recommend this place! read more

save your stomach :'( My tummy hurt from night until afternoon the next day, another example of food poisoning! I ordered the baked curry beef brisket spaghetti. The curry is definitely packaged. There is nothing in the curry except curry paste: no carrots, no potatoes, no onions, nothing. There sits 6 pieces of beef brisket on top. The taste is awkward but edible... only it will upset your stomach afterwards. My friend ordered a lamb yee-mien (mixed noodle). They really hold back on the bowl of noodles, only gave enough for 3 bites. The sauce is terrible, has the strangest taste. Service is absent, try yelling for attention. Not recommended even if you're starving. read more

Came for a late dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant was around 85% full. I noticed that they had colourful cups of green, yellow, and orange which was cool. As well as black plates and bowls. We wanted to order the salted bone congee and pan fried tofu with minced fish on a sizzling plate, but were told that they ran out. We opted for the Fukin Style steamed tofu and the garoupa with bitter melon in hot pot instead. As well, we ordered the black bean sauce steamed oysters, beef and mushroom on a sizzling plate and a mango slush. The beef and mushroom was good. There were lots of large mushrooms along with the beef. I would say there were slightly more mushrooms than the beef. This dish was a bit on the oily and salty side. Some of the oil even sizzled on my hand when it arrived on our table. However, it was still good. The Fukin style steamed tofu came in a wooden barrel pot which I thought was cute. There was a layer of leaves on the bottom. The tofu pieces were large and quite smooth. The tofu was topped with a variety of items like bbq pork, bbq duck, shrimp, dried scallop, peas carrots, and squid. I enjoyed the variety with this dish and the portion was large. The black bean sauce steamed oysters were very fresh! The oysters are from B.C. Fanny Bay. I have to say, they were steamed just right. The oysters were quite large and the black bean sauce took over a bit of the oyster flavour. There were some yellow, red, and green bell peppers topped with the sauce. I recommend ordering this as it was half a dozen for $13.95! The garoupa with bitter melon in a hot pot had a good ratio of bitter melon and the fish. Although it was on the oily side, it was flavourful. The fish was also quite tasty. The mango slush was better than expected. It was icy and tasted of pureed or mango syrup. Nonetheless, it was refreshing! We were also served with complimentary dessert after our meal. It was the mung bean soup which was cooked well. The staff were attentive and the dishes were well portioned and tasted good. I definitely recommend getting the steamed oysters as they were really fresh and large! read more

The server's were all nice and smiley except one who seemed grumpy when we asked for more napkins. Everything we ordered was bland! The complimentary soup was really watered down that no one wanted to finish their bowls. The best dish was probably the garlic veggies. The crab fried rice was the most disappointing order... The rice was so plain! Even the crab legs/claws had no taste, not even a hint of salt water taste. Would unlikely come back. read more

Food: 3 stars Ordered: pepper pork bone with mustard green in hot pot, shredded pork and penny hot sauce lo mein ,and deep fried squid with pepper salt. The pepper pork bone with mustard green in hot pot had a lot of vegetables, a fair number of pork bone pieces but there was basically NO MEAT on any of the bones so you're mainly relying on vegetables to get full. They gave us soy sauce and yes, you do need it because there isn't much taste to anything in the hot pot. Silver lining is that it's probably pretty healthy and MSG free. However, for $18.95, totally not worth it. Go have Korean pork bone soup and actually get some meat for half the price. That being said, the squid and lo mein were great. The lo mein is my usual go-to item here when I'm feeling indecisive. Consistently good. The squid had a good amount of batter with squid and the squid was firm yet tender enough that I don't have to play tug of war with it. Ambiance: 3 stars We sat at a round table but they have both seats too. Brightly lit. Casual setting. Awesome since they open late! Service: 3 stars One of the ladies serving us seemed perpetually pissed off but after a while, you'll realize that it's nothing personal. She's probably just tired and means no harm. She warmed up a bit to us after a while. We got everything we asked for and all I can say is It's standard Asian restaurant service. Don't go in expecting much. read more

Every time my family and I visited Toronto, we would always stop by here at least once. Classic Cantonese staple with efficient great service and solid food.

A meal is so much sweeter after you've worked for your meat. In this case, that'd be the trek it took me to get here. Armed with a couple of dining friends, we descended on Keung's: ravenous, anxious, curious. Curious: Keung's 2 menus offer both Hong Kong style cafe options like spaghetti and tomato sauce, an array of congee, rice noodle dishes, hot pots, soups, spicy meats, and some standard dishes like lemon chicken and chicken cashew. If you're choice adverse, better let someone else do the picking! Anxious: Not unlike other Cantonese restaurants I've encountered, service was slow. We had to wave down a server. Eye contact and arm waving doesn't always work. Come prepared to work for their attention. This, however, was all quickly forgotten when the free soup arrived. Drink it, it's quite delicious. Also, red bean soup is offered for dessert. If you've saved room, go for it! Ravenous: We ate like kings: garlic eggplant hotpot, chicken with rice noodles, spicy beef - served in a cone and tinfoil, and chicken with cashew. The winner? Eggplant hotpot. Warning: watch for the spicy beef - it be VERY spicy! We left stuffed, with enough food left over for breakfast and lunch the following day. Big portions, decent prices ($45 for all that), housed in a contemporary setting. Final judgement: I'd make the trek again. *Debit and cash only* read more

I ordered the chicken congee, steamed rice noodles, and eggplant stone pot. Everything was great, on point and to my liking! The chicken congee was big enough to share amongst 4 people, and multiple times. It wasn't too watery or thick, it was just right and had chunks of chicken (with bone). The steamed rice noodles was silky and topped with peanut and hoisin sauce. The eggplant stone pot came out sizzling and piping hot! The flavor was right on, sweet and delicious. Definitely try their house made chili hot sauce located at the tables. read more

Wife and I went to this restaurant on November 23, 2015. We ordered: beef brisket with ho fun noodles, tofu and garoupa fish on plain rice, salt and pepper pork.

My wife continued to have it the next day as well. read more

We've been going to this restaurant since it opened over 15 years ago. This is one of the only Chinese restaurants that have kept their standards up. They're staff is friendly and quick. The food prices have gone up with inflation, but is still a very good price for what you get. I'm not a fan of the "new" plastic ware though as any left over debris shows up on the black plastic bowls. They're veggies are ALWAYS fresh compared to other similar type restaurants. read more

The crab fried rice is always amazing here. It's a show stopper with the wooden serving bowl that looks like a barrel, the crab she'll on top and the fish eggs scattered throughout the rice like little jewels, full of delicious flavour. The smell of the fried rice is really appetizing and it hits you as soon as you remove the crab shell from the serving dish. The roasted pigeon was delicious! The skin was crispy and the meat was soft, juicy and succulent. I'd definitely recommend getting it if you come here for dinner. It's served with a dipping salt that makes it even more appraising. We also ordered the juicy roast pork. The flavour was amazing, full of spices and slightly sweet. However, when we got it it was cold and kind of dried out. I'm hoping it was just an off day, I'll try it again next time I visit to see if it's any better. The service was also wonderful! The server was friendly and helpful. Also my friend was treating me and didn't look at the price properly when paying. They left anote unusually large tip, the waiter came out to tell us and ask if we had made a mistake. It was very honest of them (they has left a tip the equivalent of about 50% of the bill). read more

We were in the area and decided to eat somewhere at New Kennedy Square. Since it was after 8pm, we thought we could find parking (this mall is notorious for its lack of dinner-time parking). The lot was still pretty full, but we found a spot. When it comes to malls like NKS, we rely pretty heavily on Yelp for restaurant advice since we're not that familiar with Asian cuisines and many of these restaurants look similar from the outside. Since Allison had given Keung's four stars, we decided to check it out. The atmosphere in the restaurant is quite pleasant; it's clean, has nice lighting and the booths are comfortable. It was still pretty busy at 8pm, but not so busy that the staff should have completely ignored us, which they did. Any time we needed anything, we really had to make an effort to flag them down. I had the "shredded beef with black pepper on sizzling plate" and the portion size was huge. The beef was well seasoned and very tender, and the peppers and onions complemented the meat well. They obviously use a lot of salt because I was very thirsty afterwards, but it was a very delicious meal nonetheless. I'd like to return to try some of the other dishes. Hopefully next time the service will be better! read more

Come here whenever my family chooses it, but definitely not my personal cup of tea. Food is decent, but there are definitely a few dishes that stand out to me. Their BBQ pork are one of the most flavourful if you enjoy ones that have tons of fat and are swimming in soya sauce. The deep fried tofu is also amazing, but not the healthiest. Another amazing dish is the hot pot dishes, with soup, veggies, and pork bone. Best ordered during the winter with a bunch of people. Service is okay, as they always have enough people working. A reservation is advised as they are busy most nights/weekends. read more

I went to Keung's restaurant over the weekend with my family. The place was plenty busy and we had to wait about 15 minutes before we got our seats. The staff was pretty friendly and helpful but they were rushing around to get the customers served. I think service at this location is about average, comparable to similar Chinese restaurants that I have visited like Congee Queen or Congee Wong. We ordered 6 dishes for our dinner meal: -Keung's signature chicken with rice -fish congee -beef stir fry noodles -scallops -salt & pepper pork chops -eggplant & minced meat I liked the noodles and scallops, they were well prepared and savory. The congee and other dishes were about average quality and I though the chicken was a little bit light on seasoning. The size of the dishes is ok, we had enough food to go around and a little bit left over at the end. We received complimentary starters soup and dessert from the restaurant and the meal cost about $18 per person. I thought the table we sat at was a little bit small and it would have been nice to have a little more space and larger table. Overall, this meal and experience is about the same as my other visits to Keung's - This is a restaurant I would occasionally visit, but would not be a top eating destination. read more

I been eating at Keung's for a long time, talking about 15 years probably. This location in particular is my favourite by far. Be rest assured there is quality control because the owner really does care. Chefs, servers, all of that are vetted. It's nice being able to give feedback in person when she is there. Not much else to say other than a really nice place to eat at with many options. If you're really hungry and you don't really need a super fine dining experience, but a great genuine place, above average dining experience and a good meal this is the place to go. read more

Went at around 8pm on a Saturday. The food was overpriced, nothing special. When we asked for dessert after the man said they ran out. It was kind of obvious he was lying from his facial expression, the fact that everyone else around us had dessert and they literally close at 12am, how would they be out of dessert at 8pm? Felt like they lied because we were speaking English, their attitude and service towards us wasn't the best. All in all probably never coming back. Speak Chinese to not get discriminated¿ read more

Besides the congee, noodles and snacks (street-style rice noodle roll), the dinner menu is actually not bad. - dried-fish fried gai lan - oyster omelette - steamed crab rice Note the chicken hot pot rice is fried rice instead of white rice. It's alright, I like it 'cause it has bits of taro in it. Dinner served with complementary soup and dessert (usually sweet potato?) Definitely keep this in mind for an alternative to hk style cafes without paying premium restaurant prices. read more
