I was very satisfied with my dining experience at Oriental Congee. The congee selection was extensive, with a delicate texture and fresh ingredients. The seafood congee and the preserved egg and lean pork congee were particularly authentic and delicious. The staff were friendly, quick to take orders and serve food, and proactively checked on our needs. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxed atmosphere, making it suitable for family gatherings or small get-togethers with friends. Overall, it was a very good experience and a restaurant I would definitely recommend. I will definitely come back again. read more

Located at Sheppard Ave East and Kennedy Road, Oriental Congee is a very authentic, down-to-earth congee spot. I especially like their soy sauce fried noodles, pan-fried chive dumplings, and Pan Fried Coconut Milk Golden Cake 香煎椰汁黄金糕. The congee itself is also quite good--some people might find it a bit on the lighter side in flavor, but I'm totally fine with that. The prices are very affordable, making it great value for money. The downside is parking--it's a bit inconvenient, and most options nearby are paid parking. The interior is quite simple and no-frills, but the staff are friendly and welcoming. Among congee places in Toronto, I think this one really stands out for its authenticity. The only drawback is the parking situation, so ordering takeout might actually be a better option read more

What's great is that it's very affordable. I came here for breakfast, as I wanted congee at that hour of the day. The issue is the server speaks no English nor Cantonese and only Mandarin. It was difficult to order with her because of that. I ordered steamed dumplings and she even repeated my order back to me, but what came out was pan-fried dumplings. Due to the language barrier, there was no way to communicate that she made a mistake. I let it go, but that's crappy service. The congee barely had any ingredients inside. After a few scoops, you're really just left with plain congee with some green onions. I'm not sure why the ingredients were outside of the rice rolls, but I wasn't a fan. It's an ok spot for cheap Chinese food if you have low expectations, but I'd rather pay a bit more to have something better. read more

Small, hole in the wall (in the best way possible) congee spot! Four of us stopped in on a Friday morning. They have an expansive menu of congee and rice noodle dishes. Their combo meals are a great deal and cash only. We ended up having to run across the street the bank to grab some cash. The waiter cautioned us that the combos were probably shareable (because we ordered 4 for 4 people) but we decided to still get the combos - we probably should have listened to the waiter! It was a ton of food! We got a combination of different congees, rice noodles, and fried noodles. We also ordered an additional order of fried dough rice noodles (that was so yummy with the peanut sauce!) Overall, really solid meal for a great price. It might be awhile until I'm back in the area but would definitely return if I have the opportunity! read more

This is an authentic family owned HK style congee place, We came here Sunday at noon, and got seated in 5min. Inside seatings are limited, so easily get lineup especially for big groups greater than 4. Foods here are high quality, freshly made, big portion, very reasonably priced, Ordered: Congee set with a deep fried dough 5/5 Hainan chicken rice 5/5 Bbq pork rice 4/5 Pan fried chives pork dumplings 5/5 Pan fried coconut sticky rice cake 4/5 The only complaint is they only have one lady doing service, cashier, clean up the table and deal with takeouts as well, so she is extremely busy, our foods took long time to come, I think they probably only have one person working in the kitchen as well. Other than that, great place for HK style cafe foods! read more

The interior is from 30 years ago, but amazingly, so are the prices: this restaurant offers decent Cantonese-style comfort food at amazingly low prices. Beef with coriander rice noodles are generously portioned and delicious. The congee is average -- a bit on the watery side. Hainan chicken rice uses a strange curry flavour instead of the traditional coconut, but is generous for the price ($9.50). The real star here is the prices, with no dishes priced over $10 and many special combos available for $7-$10. Note that if you order combos, they only accept cash. Parking is paid but free after 5 PM on weekends. There are plenty of tables for dine-in but this restaurant seems more popular for takeout and delivery. read more

I'll make it simple: Their dumplings, particularly the beef dumplings (the pork dumplings are very good as well) are among the best I have ever tasted. The prices are great as well. Beef dumplings are $7.99 for 8 and pork dumplings are $6.99 for 8. If it's no good and I'm giving you a line, come back and kick my ass. I'm certain you'll thank me. read more

Small place with great prices for their food. Was craving congee so I came here. My mom also liked it as well. Definitely will come back to try the Singapore noodles as I see lots of good reviews here. Everything was made to order. So it's fresh. Congee. Beef noodles. And fresh beef noodle roll. read more

They say never judge a book by its cover - this is true for this little hidden gem. If you don't mind the outdated interior and you're craving for some authentic congee and rice noodles, give this place a try. Despite the fact that this place is tiny, their menu has a lot of variety. I'm sure there would be something suitable for everyone - adults and kids. We ordered the chicken congee, bbq pork rice noodles, and a fried rice noodle with beef. Lots of flavours and wok hey. They also have value combos for a great price - but honestly their entire menu is priced very reasonably. The downside is the parking. If you park directly in front then its paid parking. However, they do have complimentary parking if you drive up the parking structure located beside the office building. read more

Friendly staff, fast service, great portions for the price. Congee and rice noodle rolls are always a staple for Hong Kong breakfast or simply an afternoon tea snack. Venue itself is very basic, but reminds you of any congee storefront in Hong Kong. Ordered take out, and even after a car ride of 30 minutes, food was still fresh and kept its texture. 3 meat congee 4.5/5 - great rich flavours of the liver, stomach, and pork meat. The congee base itself is not too liquid nor was it overly thick as many tend to give. The consistency was perfect for me. Great amount of toppings, and I didnt think there was any MSG flavoring in it either, so I didnt feel like I had to drink a lot of water after. rice noodle roll 5/5 - smooth, silky and very soft to touch but good enough spring for you to pick up with your chopsticks and provide a nice texture in your palate. Not oily either as some places will pour some on top to give it another depth of flavour. Had the egg version and the bbq pork, both were flavourful in it's own way. The bbq pork wasnt chopping and mixed into the noodles, which I didnt mind as there was a good amount. Will go again if in the area! read more

Driving by and saw the new kid on the block for congee offerings ... went in to see the spread offered. Many options for the traditional fare for congee and rice noodles. I opted for their name sake Oriental Congee special which consisted of bbq pork, cuttle fish, fish cake, pork delicacies topped with a healthy serving of red skin peanuts accompanied with an egg steamed rice noodle. The flavours were a-ok and the rice noodle freshly steamed. With this being the first week of operations, will see how things smooth out. There currently is a 20% off grand opening but my order only had 20% off the lowest priced item and not the order... Will swing by again after they iron out the processes and will update accordingly. read more

This is a little gem in Scarborough. We ordered the all day congee combo set B (fish slippery congee + bbq pork rice noodles) and combo set C (pork blood congee + pan fried pork boy choy dumplings). These combos must be paid in cash. Portion size was quite generous, with lots of ingredients. They used sufficient rice to make the congee base. Very delicious, not too salty and watery. Too bad the pork chives dumplings were sold out. Service was awesome. The server brought us each a small bowl without us asking so we could transfer the hot congee into the small bowls to cool down enough to consume. No fancy decor but have lots of comfortable seatings. The AC temperature was high enough that we didn't feel hot while eating hot congee. The parking situation can be a little confusing. Outside parking are paid parking while the cover parking is not. Will definitely return. read more

This is family owned restaurant is such an underrated spot for Congee and Hong Kong Breakfast. Came here with my wife and ordered the value set menu $8.99 CAN ($6.95 US) which includes a bowl of congee and another dish listed. We got the Congee with Preserved Black Eggs and pan fried dumplings. The congee was slightly bland and could've used more pork and preserved eggs but the congee itself had such a clean taste. The dumplings were super stuffed and flavorful. I also ordered the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup which was only $5.99 CAN ($4.63 US)! Unreal! The beef was super tender and the tendons attached to the beef was soft and cooked perfectly. Broth was super flavorful and the noodles were cooked perfectly too. Highly recommend this spot. Very good prices for the amount of food. read more

Replacing master noodle that once was here, this place caught my attention when I was going home the other day and so I decided to try it today. They are your typical congee shop with different variety of congee, cheung fun, fried rice/noodle and appetizers dishes but all at a great price. Had the pleasure of trying their daily special (hainan chicken rice) but what was lacking was a stronger chicken oil essence and no traces of coconut fragrance. Nevertheless, at $6.99 it was a generous portion and the rice was nicely seasoned. As for the congee and cheung fun, we ordered a salted egg and pork congee with a chicken slice rice roll. Good portion for both but I would say the rice roll size is bigger than what you would get elsewhere. The soy sauce I would like to point out is somewhat different from what you get elsewhere. Where others are sweet, this had a sweet and smoky savoury flavour which was unique but very good. There are various all day combo and the congee + cheung fun one was $7.50. If you're looking for a quiet place to sit down and have some congee (sick or not), give this place a try! read more

Happened to be in the area. Searched Yelp and found this congee/steamed rice roll restaurant. So decided TOFTT. Clean , simple and family run. Attentive services. Rice rolls were made fresh. The one with brisket topping was really good. Meat was cut small and well cooked without losing flavour and texture which is just the way I like it. The rice rolls with egg filling was good as well. I could tasted actual egg. The "Sampan"congee was quite smooth and not starchy, although the ingredients were not quite "authentic" , lacking dry squid, pork rinds and etc. It tasted very home made, not salty nor MSG ridden. Decent prices. Thumps up! Too bad it is not located in RH. read more

I have not had chicken rice for a really long time. Mostly because there is no nearby Asian restaurant that offers reasonable chicken rice. Then one day I discovered Oriental Congee on SkipTheDish with such great prices, I ordered myself two dishes. The portion is just right, not too much but enough to fill me. The chicken is juicy and tender. They really remind me of old times. read more

Oriental Congee - Steamed Chicken on Rice & Pork with Vegetable on Rice - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

If your looking for congee and noodles, this restaurant fits the bill. I've ordered numerous times from Oriental Congee and it's a great place to eat. Here are some of the things I've had: Various kinds of Congee, Deep-Fried Dough Fritters and Sweet Cruller, Singapore Style Fried Vermicelli, Rice Noodle with Beef, Chinese Chives Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll. The congee base is quite good. It's just slightly on the thicker side with is fine with me, but is well seasoned and smooth. Presevered Egg with Shredded Pork is my favourite and they do it well. The dumplings and rice noodle rolls are solid options. Their noodle dishes are OK, not the best I've had but good and the flavours were true. Overall a good place to eat with better prices then some other options and I will keep coming back. read more

Very delicious food, they need to expand their online menu though. Will eat from there again. Frickin awesome fried rice ever.

This family owned restaurant for congee is quite good. The congee is a little bland but it's silky and smooth. Their beef stir fry has a lot of "wok hay" very good. Their dumplings are made in house very flavourful and stuffed! Would def recommend. They're quite busy so I would advise to place order before picking up. read more

Clean and fast service. The portions were generous and delicous. Price was incredibly affordable. (Daily deals available for congee+something).) We had the shrimp congee and the shrimp were really fresh and gigantic! Century egg and pork congee (pictured) was also good, no fishy or "meaty" smell. Rice roll was freshly made and the sauce was good. We also had the dough fritter (first time trying it) and it was divine. Total came out to just about $16 and I had to take one of the congee home cuz there was so much. Fyi, free parking is available on the 2nd floor of the parking building M-F 9-5 and ground/1st floor M-F after 5 and weekends. Otherwise you have to pay. Also, I think it's cash only. read more

Love to support local restaurant. 1st time went to their restaurant last year when their location was near field fresh supermarket and to my surprise they move to near our place this year. We have been ordering food from them since last month. We tried guilin fried rice the first time we came and my partner feel it was too salty for his taste bud so the next time I went to order takeout and by mistake I ordered the same fried rice which have the same salty flavour. the 3rd time we ordered takeout, my husband order san dong fried rice and this time he likes it. My favourite will be hainam chicken rice. The rice was fried with eggs and the sauce was separated so it didn't get too oily. The kwetiau (fried ho fun ) did not have enough flavour to my liking but not too oily so a good point for me. My little one ate the dough rice roll everytime and she love it so much. We ordered congee too but it's like the standard for congee place nothing special for us to brag about. read more
