Very good. I moved out from LA so after a couple years, I tried it again. And it was still so good. I reccomend the shrimp ball soup. Very nice, simple, and delicious. The dump lies are amazing too. Get a drink with a boba. You will love it here. read more

Their dumpling soup is soooo good. The dumplings are a pork and shrimp mix and they're HUGE. I usually order to go and I cut the dumplings in 4 pieces before I assemble my soup. I also prefer the soup without noodles. Perfect comfort food. read more

So this shop is a tad small but people seem to like their Won ton noodle soup and congee. I've tried the won ton twice (and loved them) but haven't tried the congee just yet. I will though. Parking is relatively easy on the weekdays but a bit challenging on the weekends because this little shop is located in a plaza with a relatively tiny parking lot so try the street parking. read more

The Congee - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

I like the shrimp dumpling noodle soup. The dumplings are huge but nonetheless delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

I ordered congee and wonton noodle soup. Both delicious. Sometimes when you order wonton noodle soup, the wonton lacks meat or doesn't taste good but this place has it on point. Inside of the restaurant is small and there's street parking right outside which might be hard to get but also a parking lot in the back. read more

This is a no frills congee specialist. 50% of their menu is congee so you know they don't play around. Very smooth congee that's cooked in a 100 year old pot for at least 48 hours. I might be exaggerating but I would believe it if you told me it was true. I get their homemade fish paste congee and my wife likes their minced pork with century egg. read more

This place is pretty simple. The focus is on congee and while it's a dish I'm far from being an expert on, I like coming here for it. I've had the pork and black egg as well as the pork liver congee. The service is quick and the price is reasonable. I think both times the congee I had was nice in texture, was made with a flavorful broth and very generous portion of protein. I'll definitely be back. read more

Small restaurant with yummy wonton soup & congee! We tried a variety of items including spicy chicken wings, chinese broccoli & sauteed lettuce! I ordered shrimp congee and it had a bunch of plump shrimp! My mom had the wonton soup and the dumplings were huge! read more

Living and growing up in a Chinese household, I can say that this place definitely has your authentic congee and porridge. I've been here multiple times and have tried a lot of their dishes; noodles, soups, porridge, appetizers. Recently when I came in i ordered the in house fish ball porridge, rice noodles cakes with beef stew, and steamed vegetables. The porridge had the perfect consistency of not being too runny and the in house made fish balls are perfect. Nothing like any store bought ones you can find. The vegetables aren't anything special, can be done at home. The rice cake beef stew was also a nice dish. Very flavorful that melded into the rice noodles cakes. Add a little chili onto it and . All together a very well priced and simple restaurant that knows exactly what their doing and specialize very well in it. Only down side is that it can take a while sometimes read more

Worst food-too salty & worst service ever from this restaurant. And the price doesn't match the price on the menu. You end up paying much more from menu price. read more

One of my favorite places to go for porridge/congee. I always get the seafood porridge and my fiancé always gets the porridge with the thousand year old egg. I've ordered take out and dined in many times. I think we go at least once a month! They never disappoint. The wontons are the bomb here. Huge and flavorful. Best wontons in the area I would say. Sam Woo comes a close second. The interior is whatever. If you're looking for a nice place to go on a date or have a nice night, this is not the place. It feels almost like the typical Asian cafeteria styled food courts. As long as the food tastes good, that's all that matters to me though. The waitress and waiters are quick and when it gets busy, they're hustling. They're not there to be your friend but I've never found them rude. They're just here to get you your food quick and refill your water or tea if needed. I do wish that they had Chinese Donuts here.. it would really complete the meal but seeing how the kitchen is pretty small. Well, the restaurant itself is pretty small. When it gets busy, it's a bit of a wait but I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes. read more

I'm in a bit of surprise to see this business still here. I've heard good things from my friends during their visits here. My recollection of this place is that it is not that good. I figure this place is worthy enough to give a 2nd chance. Food: The wontons are good here. The congee is their signature which is pretty good too. I decided to order a shrimp roe lo mein because I've never seen any other restaurant sell this dish in the US. It was packed with flavor....actually a little too much. Very salty aftertaste. Service: Fairly fast-paced business concept. While the 2 wait staff members were young millennials, the majority of the staff members are raw and raunchy Chinese baby boomers who will give 0 Fs about you wanting good service. If you're sensitive or demand good service, this is not the place for you. Environment: It is 90 something degrees outside....and they have fans on...only....and you're expecting people to eat hot wonton soups...or hot congee....*face palm* Price: Decently priced for the food. Under $10. Food: 4 Service: 2 Environment: 1 Price: 4 read more

Back in the day, we use to watch HK movies in this plaza...yes, I realize I'm dating myself. Accordingly, I always get a bit reminiscent when coming here to order my customary wonton soup with beef brisket and house fish ball. Shrimp wonton are so big, you simply can't shove the whole thing in your mouth...well, you could, but it would look really rude, so two bites please. Servings are huge, and best shared with a plate of potstickers (so-so) and/or fried garlic chicken wings (very flavorful with green onion and garlic). Always crowded here, so I would suggest arriving prior to 1130. read more

The Congee - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

Food is excellent! Tasty and authentic. Simple service but effective. Wish they were more closely located.

The Hong Kong heart in me can never get tired of congee and wonton noodles! I love HK comfort food and I can just eat this everyday! I feel The Congee is one of the better one in terms of taste and quality in SGV. The wontons are huge about the same size of a child's fist and you get 4 pieces in your noodles. 5 pieces if you order just wontons. Recently I discovered their freshly made fish balls and they are simply delicious! Their wontons are actually pretty filling by itself! We ordered a wonton mein noodles and a an order of just wontons with fish balls. It was plenty of food and perfect portion after the 2 of us split the noodles. I don't eat any intestines stuff so I wish they have more congee choices. Tried their tofu fish congee and it was pretty good! Service is quick and friendly, and they take credit cards! *score*!! read more

Pro: Really good wontons! I eat a lot of them everywhere and this is one of my favorites. Tip is to get one wonton noodle + one bowl of only wontons (no noodles) and split it. That creates a great ratio. Con: There is a slight weird smell in the air. Not sure if it is a detergent or what. read more

Heat up my wonton soup today and thank goodness I didn't when we first got it because dumping out the wonton to reheat, there's a big fly at the bottom of the soup. I would've eaten it without even knowing. Waste of money and gross. read more

The Congee - A fly - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

Been here a few times already. The first few times I came here, I can argue that this place is definitely a 5 star place for simple Congee and Wonton noodle soup. But on my last visit, the Wonton soup I got was plain awful. I expected the same quality of food as before and I was disappointed. I think my Wonton were spoiled and the shrimp tasted sour for some odd reason. The Wonton did not taste like before. In my pictures, the food look bomb. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to blow up the toilet later though. I'll give this place a second chance next time, but for now I am a bit afraid to come back. read more

This is my go to spot whenever I am feeling under the weather for some good congee. Its located in a plaza and I haven't had too much trouble finding parking. The place itself is not that large, so its not great for big parties, but you can always take out food to go as well. The service like most Chinese places in Alhambra is alright but I feel like it might be better since the staff can understand some English. Also, they do accept card, but I think there might be a minimum of ten dollars. Their menu isn't too large since I am pretty indecisive when it comes to food choices. But you can choose from congee, noodles with soup, and noodles with no soup. From the congee, I usually get chicken and abalone. Abalone is a type of seafood. The actual dish itself is already flavorful so you don't need to add more seasoning but some people like to add vinegar. There is a hefty portion of meat and porridge and for ten bucks it is really worth it. A lot of people also get their wonton noodle soup. The wontons are HUGE. The ratio of meat to wonton skin is heavily in favor of the meat. The noodles used I think are egg noodles and they are pretty standard. I do feel that the soup can run a bit salty. My favorite non- congee item would be the beef stew lo mein, which is basically the beef stew over noodles with no soup. You can choose to get just beef or a combination of beef and tendon. Tendon is a gelatinous chewy thing which I like but is not for everyone. read more

The best shrimp wonton in SGV! They are house made, and they are huge and delicious full of shrimp and just enough ground pork to hold the shrimp together. Their congees are among the best, too. Would definitely recommend! read more

First time trying this place with my family. Instead of going to dim sum, this place satisfied our congee craving. I had the rotten egg with pork congee. I didn't think I was going to finish it but it was so good I chowed it down. The place isn't very big but they were able to accommodate a big group of 6 people. read more

So delicious...the shrimp wonton here is simply amazing, big, juicy, and flavorful! Stewed beef is excellent too. You can choose 2-3 types of topping (eg. shrimp dumpling, beef), in any dish you order. You can also choose type of noodles (eg. rice or flour) for your dish. read more

The Congee - Shrimp wonton - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

Came here for a quick lunch. Since the weather was still somewhat on the cool side, I wanted something soupy. I ordered the wonton noodle soup. Yes, the wontons are big and you really only need four. The server dropped off the sauces in the caddie on my table before the noodle came. However, in the middle of my meal, he just came and took it away. Didn't bother to ask if I was done withe sauces or not. That's just rude. Hence 1 less star for the disrespectful customer service. read more

Best seafood congee I've had in a long time I love their fish balls too. Service was quick and no flair. Had a little difficulty finding the place since the name was I think written in Chinese characters. Over all a good experience. read more

This is the place to go if you are craving congee and shrimp wanton noodle soup. The food is super good. I also got the pan fried rice roll kinda thing and its just so good. Its a small store and it looked like alot of people to takeouts! There's a parking lot in the back. I'll definitely come back for some shrimp wanton noodle soup and the pan fried appetizer!! read more

Staffs here are friendly if you get to talk to them. Since I'm a regular, they're super nice. Foods here are good, big and cheap. I normally get the wonton noodle or the beef stew noodle soups and they are delicious and yummy!! Long lines during lunch and weekends. read more

I ordered their Abalone with chicken Congee here for the first time and it was good. I normally go to Harlem's, but they are closed at the moment due to COVID. But I can say their congee is just as good. It would of been better if they had the Chinese donuts to go with it. Their chicken wings was meh, a little too burnt for me. Hence, the 4 star rating. Abalone w/chicken 5/5 Chicken Wings 1/5 Service 5/5 read more

This review is for to go. I always pass by this place whenever I'm driving through valley but never really noticed it. It's a real "hole" in the wall. The place is very crowded and cramped when you walk in. Located next to Kiki bakery. Same plaza as yogurt land, phoenix desserts, kang kang food court and you know the rest of the place. I only tried their noodle soups and congee/porridge. Came here 2 times and only tried those. My favorite congee is the thousand year egg with pork meat. The portion to go is a lot and can really fill you up. Nice to eat this when the weather is so cold these days. I always get their 2 item noodle menu. Love love love their wontons! It's so huge! 2 pieces of shrimp with pork meat inside! Not stingy at all with the shrimp! Order it with beef or beef stew. Both are very good. Broth is flavorful. Mein has that chewy and not too soft taste, which is how mein is suppose to be! Next time I will give it a try to sit down to eat. read more

Came here for the first time and got the liver congee and the beef stew noodle soup home for dinner. Very small restaurant. Would not recommend if you have a large group of more than 4 people. Both were pretty good. The price is descent. Will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu. read more

Not as flavorful as Sams noodle station but my mom likes this place!! And that's what it's all about!!

The Congee - Beef ball in noodles soup. - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

This is my go to place for won ton noodle soup and congee. I wish they would open earlier.

BEWARE!!! *COCKROACH in CONGEE* BEWARE!!! I wished I can give this crappy restaurant a negative star because I found a "Half-inch long DEAD COCKROACH" in my food. I bought two chicken congee togo on Oct 21st, 7:21pm. I finished one and saved another one(Never opened, still in togo plastic container) for next day. On Oct 22nd, I tried to finish the congee that I saved yesterday night. After I finished around 1/5 of the congee and I saw there is a half inch long dead cockroach in my food. I immediately omit and feel very sick on the rest of the day. I called "The Congee", manager named Wendy said they "never" had this problem and refused to accept the truth that the dead cockroach was from their restaurant even I told her that I never opened the food container. I had file complaint to public health department and hope they can shut down this place before more victims are suffered. I have been living in Alhambra for 8 years and it is my first time to have COCKROACH in my food. I will never go to this crappy place again! read more

Grand opening weekend: The Congee replaced the much loved WonTon Time: http://www.yelp.com/biz/won-ton-time-alhambra-2 . Being smart businessmen the operators are, a basic won ton mien is also inclu... Waitamin, let just get to the point and skip the didactic mumbo jumbo. I never liked Wonton Time and this "The Congee" joint is no better. $5.50 for a bowl of $.25 greasy oily noodles in a very prosaic, ie, bland, chicken stock with 4 overcooked wontons each containing 1 large shrimp apparently fed growth hornomes? One must season the entire mess with vinegar, hot chili oil and mad amounts of white pepper just to induce any sense of flavor out of this bowl. And yes, for $5.50, you get 1 stalk of Chinese broccoli. Ugh!!! But what about the namesake? Them bowls of steamy congee? Again, I don't get it. $5 for a bowl of boiled rice soaked with MSG, speckled with a few slices of scallions and shards of low quality beef? C'mon. These are the 2 dishes that drew the hoards of Cantonese peeps in on the opening weekend? Don't believe this place is the lowest of all common denominators in the world of SGV noodle shops? The beef balls and fish balls, used in a third of all menu items, are straight from frozen packs, akin to anything you can buy from Ranch 99. The only thing of interest is the tofu-life silky "fish paste in Special Sauce". And that's at a mind boggling $5.50 for 8 small squares of fish protein doushed in, again, an MSG-laden sauce. It's special, but not $.70 per piece special. I hope Steven(?) and Amy(?), the owners, well. Unfortunately, you won't find me battling this crowd ever again. read more
