Great! Definitely a "hidden" gem! Hard to figure out where the restaurant is from the parking lot. Had to look at pictures that were already uploaded to figure it out. The customer service was good. The attentiveness was good. The food was great! Got the two new item soup combo of beef stew with wontons. The meat was super soft and the tendon pieces were well cooked and super tender. The wontons are of the best! Super juicy and well made! It even had shrimp that you can very well make out. Also ordered chicken wings, delicious and crispy! Also ordered a congee, because as the restaurant name suggests, it has to be good right?! Definitely so!!! read more

The food was good. It had enough of what we Chinese people call "Wok hei". My favorites are the steamed rice rolls. The con was that sometimes the food can take a long time to come to the table. read more

I've gotten congee here several times and it's not bad. Pretty good and hits the spot. BUT when slurping the thin egg noodles they use in the Beef Stew and other dishes, it has a potent chemical smell almost like sniffing plant. I had a headache after two bites and returned it. I'm not certain if this is really how it's "supposed" to smell but it was off-putting and I lost my appetite immediately. I've never smelled that in my life and I've eaten more beef stews than I can count. Just a warning to those who experience the same thing. read more

2nd visit. Great service as my last. Food was served in a speed manner. The congee was hot and that's how it should be!. The braised beef with Chao fan was great, very tasty! Will come back for 3rd! read more

Pork liver porridge. The liver is perfectly cooked and just the right softness. The bowl of porridge was full of liver flavor because they give so much liver. It's rare during this economy that restaurants still serve with such generous portion. read more

This is a great spot for comforting Chinese food, their congee and wonton noodle soup are my favorite items to get here! I've tried their chicken congee and seafood congee so far and both are great although I prefer their seafood congee. They have vinegar, pepper, soy sauce, chili oil, and siracha available at each table so you can add any sauces to your liking. I personally love eating my congee with lots of pepper and soy sauce. Shrimp Wonton noodle soup: these shrimp wontons are the biggest you'll ever find here! They are stuffed with multiple shrimps and taste delicious. There is a generous portion of egg noodles and fills you up. Golden shrimp egg Lo mein: these crispy egg noodles are delicious! I enjoy the crisp and the flavoring of the noodles. Overall I would come back whenever I'm in the mood for a warm comforting meal. Definitely check out his hidden gem! read more

This has been a hidden place for years. They have really great beef noodle soups. They also have really good congee. Great comfort food. The place is a small, but really busy. Everything is fresh and the service is pretty quick. Ordered our food, went to wash my hands and when I came back, my soup was being served. I ordered the beef stew noodles, which was good. The noodles were cooked just right, not too soggy. And the beef was soft and tender. We had small group with us, but next time I'll come back and try some other authentic dishes. read more

This restaurant is kind of tucked away from view when you park in the rear of the building, but it's a must find place. Upon entering, you can easily view a very busy kitchen making some fabulous tasting food. I haven't explored much of the menu, as I only go there wonton noodle soup. It's so good, with enormous sized shrimp wontons and a bounty of noodles swimming in a tasty broth. It's like magic! The staff is very polite and respectful to all the guests. Although English is a second language to them, they do try to ensure your order is correct by pointing to the menu. But since I go here so much, they just wave to me and point to an available table. If you're craving shrimp wonton noodle soup, definitely come here! read more

When you are unwell, feeling sick and need porridge- load up 2 porridges and lock yourself while you stay in, medicate and rest.

I've come here often to pick food up, but something about the dried scallop congee is quite affordable and comforting. I've had their soups here and all the additions are cuhraZzzyyyy. I can always do without the noodles since wontons are always filling enough. Broth here is really clean and always hits the spot! read more

If you're looking for a comfort meal like congee or wonton noodle soup, The Congee has very affordable meals. The portion is huge and they serve the food very fast. Although a small location, it gets packed. We got the 3 items (beef balls, beef stew, dumplings) noodle in soup and preserved egg with shredded pork pork congee. Their noodle soup is hearty. I enjoyed congee with preserved egg, but was not a fan of the shredded pork. Overall, a good place for those who like congee and wonton soup! read more

This is certainly a goto location to get congee (porridge). Huge parking lot and going from the back the location is a tad hard to find because it just has Chinese characters, the front has the English name though. We ended up getting the seafood congee and the two item lo mien with wonton and beef stew. The wontons are fat and plump with huge chunks of shrimp in them. Honestly prob one of the best wontons I've had. I always mix it with the beef stew because the tendon is bomb haha. The porridge is solid as well, flavored well and they don't skimp out on portions. Everything is pretty large! On the side note the menus seem a tad outdated prices were about 1.30 more than advertised on the menu which is fine because inflation but just know that coming in. The two dishes cost me 27 dollars pre tip. Come thru! read more

I've been eating here for the better part of a year now and always find myself ordering #1 on the menu - shrimp wonton soup because it's THAT good. It's always consistently good and so is the friendly, fast service. Maybe one day I'll try the namesake congee. read more

Bad customer service . One of Chinese 40s women with long hair never smile and even gave us attitude when asking her why the hot water tasted like chlorine . If she's not happy with her life , go home . She doesn't have to come here to work read more

I came back to try the shrimp wontons and let me tell you.. THEYRE EXTRAORDINARY. They're so fresh, huge and crunchy (the shrimp of you know what I mean) and just perfectly seasoned. Cantonese food is rarely a go to for many in LA but it's time to give the wontons another shot. read more

Not impressed with the homemade fish cake, I was eager to try and was disappointed with this!

Place was a little hard to find from the parking lot. the shrimp wonton noodle soup is a must have at this spot. the wontons were flavorful and portions are good; i just wish the broth was a tad bit more seasoned with chicken. after tax and tip it was about 16.33 per person so a little bit on the expensive side esp for this dish. service was fast and speedy and inside felt nice and warm on a cold day. read more

The Congee - shrimp wonton soup - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

The Congee serves traditional Cantonese noodle soups, the ultimate comfort food for most Chinese Americans growing up here. The place only has a few tables, definitely a hole-in-the-wall noodle shop. We ordered the 3 item combination rice noodle soup with the standard items: dumplings, beef stew with tendon, and pork liver. The dumplings definitely met the hype; they were huge (half a fist-size), packed with meat, shrimp, and leeks. Super juicy and delicious. The other 2 items, however, were subpar. The brisket and tendon were not tender at all, requiring a lot of chewing and gnawing to pull apart. The pork liver was over cooked; again very chewy. To cook pork liver correctly, it should only be boiled slightly and removed immediately when starting to curl. These are waaaaay beyond cooked. The rice noodles were pretty soggy as well. We also ordered a 2 item combination egg noodle soup with wontons and beef stew/tendon. Like the dumplings, the wontons were phenomenal. Large, packed with shrimp, and super juicy. The egg noodles were definitely cooked way better than the rice noodles. Perfectly Al dente, not soggy by the time you get to the bottom of the bowl. Service was quick, but be ready to order as soon as the waitress comes to you. They wont be patient with you. I will still come back because you can't get wonton/dumplings this size elsewhere, but I would just stick to these 2 items with egg noodles. read more

We came here the very first time during pandemic, and we just ordered Wonton Soup to go. This time we are able to sit down and share food with friends. We got to order the most popular Wonton Noodle Soup and Beef Stew Pan Fried Rolls, oh my, they are so authentic and so good! We also ordered a very HongKongese item - Preserved Bean Curd with Lettuce, not everyone likes Preserved Bean Curd, the good thing is they put it on the side so you don't have to dip the Lettuce into it if you don't feel like it. Lettuce by itself is very fresh and 'crunchy'. If you want some authentic HongKonese food, this is the place. You can also have XLB next door ;-p read more

This is the proverbial hole in the wall with great taste. The beef tendon soup is exceptional. Came here for a second dinner, ahem, as if one dinner is not enough. Even as a second dinner the food tasted great. There were left overs obviously so those were taken home. The soup from the beef tendon soup congealed in the fridge, a sign that the broth was made with a ton of bones. The Maggie chicken congee was also exceptional. The was flavor was great and the chicken was cooked to perfection. Had some left overs and that was savored the next day with a dash of black pepper. Can't wait to try some of the other items. The wontons here are not to my liking. They are too big and the shrimps are not ground up but presented whole. read more

The perfect spot for that soothing bowl of congee or wonton noodle soup! The wontons are made in house and packed with filling. Not to mention the prices are very reasonable. We ordered 2 bowls of congee, a bowl of wonton noodle soup, and choi sum. The seafood congee came packed with toppings and well seasoned. I personally preferred the seafood congee over the salted pork and century egg congee which I thought came in a little bland but nothing a little white pepper and salt can't fix. The wonton noodle soup came with 4 HUGE wontons packed with large shrimp chunks and minced pork. The thin egg noodles were not soggy and still had a good chew to them. Paired with some choi sum this meal is checks all the boxes for me :) Come here for a bowl of healing congee or wonton noodle soup! read more

The place is small, and you'll feel rushed to finish your meal for queueing incoming patrons. Knock off a half '*' star here. Their prices are fairly reasonable. I love their lo mein more here. Their wontons are legendary. Their beef stew also mixes tendons, yum. And, you can add a side of extra liver for $2. Plus, their herbal teas (2 variants, light or dark) taste good. My second fave spot for liver congee. My first choice cooks their congee more clean. I see at times that the liver here isn't cooked thoroughly through, so I start on my order of lo mein first and let the congee rest until the liver gets closer to well done. Knock off a half '*' star here. read more

Do you remember eating Congee as a child when you were sick? Well, it's no longer just for being sick, but a new tasty and comforting rice soup on cold days and nights, with a splash of flare with chicken, green onions and other toppings. My wife loves this on cold days, so I brought some to her and my daughter, who also had the delicious Won Ton Soup, with a delicate broth and meaty dumpling-like won-tons. Although the restaurant is small, it was packed within a half-hour of opening, so I was glad I did take-out. There is plenty of parking at the rear of the restaurant and can be accessed from both Valley or behind the store. If you're looking for comfort food to warm yourself, you need not go too far for some decent food. read more

Their congee options are very flavorful and the congee is perfectly cooked with each grain of rice stirred to the desired soft consistency.

We also got the wonton with oyster sauce lo mein and man, they pack those wontons with shrimp and pork! It's so big I didn't even know you could stuff that much filling in it.
