    The Congee is located inside the food court area, in the back corner of the Yes Plaza. Very cool looking exterior. Plenty of parking here. Besides congee, they also have Pan Fried Rolls, a variety of Noodle Soups, Lo Mein, and other Soups. You place your orders at the counter, pay, and they will bring you the foods to the dining area, if you are dining there. There is no table services. When we were eating there, when they brought us our foods, they also brought us the condiments (such as soy sauce, chili oil, etc). We ordered the following items: - Ginger & Scallions w/Beef Congee - Shrimps Wonton Noodles in Soup Surprisingly the congee was a bit bland for me. Beef was ok. But once we added the soy sauce and chili oil, it tasted much better. The Shrimps Wonton Noodles Soup was pretty good. It came with egg noodles and 4 ginormous wontons, about the size of a golf ball! It was so good. Much better than their congee item. If you want a quick and simple meal, this is the place.

    We order uber eats delivery whenever we want congee or Hongkong style food. I don't know exactly where the actual restaurant is. We have tried different kinds of congee, I like the fish one the most, hubby enjoys the century egg and lean pork one of course. We also like the flavorful wings and fish ball soup. The portions are quite large and prices are very reasonable. I like to get the very refreshing chrysanthemum tea too. The delivery can take very long time on weekends though. Nonetheless, this is a solid place for comfort Hong Kong style food delivery!

    We just tried The Congee in Rowland Heights, as this is the new location. It's located inside the Yes Plaza on Colima and Fullerton. We used to go to the one in Alhambra a long time ago. The place was simple and small, and it's more like for to go. We chose to dine in before going to the movies while my daughters were waiting for their orders at the Boba place next door. We did not try their congee today, but we were craving the wonton noodles. We also ordered the Special Pan Fried Rolls and a chrysanthemum tea. Shrimp wonton noodles in soup ($13.75) - The portion size was big, and the shrimp wonton was huge. The wonton noodles were mediocre. It was a bit on the soft side, and the noodle texture was not what I wanted. (8 out of 10) Special Pan Fried Rolls ($10.75) - the portion was good, but it tasted a bit bland. I would rather order the pan-fried rolls at the DFC instead. The flavor was lacking. I wish that they had sweet soy sauce and the peanut butter sauce. We won't order it again. (7 out of 10) Chrysanthemum Tea ($2.95?) - It tasted very so-so, not sweet at all and bland, and it had a very light flavor of Chrysanthemum. (7 out of 10) Pros: Fast and good service, big portion Cons: They used disposable bowls and utensils, and the food was ok I was a bit disappointed with their overall food and drink, so it's only 3 stars for me. I may try their congee next time, but not the pan-fried rolls and herbal tea.

    Yummy food. It's located in the corner of a strip mall. We have porridge pan fried chow fun with beef and Chinese broccoli. Everything was delicious. I bought more to go.

    我不曉得海皇粥原來是還有分店,以前我在Fullerton 路上走的時候吃過他們的粥,這次會過來是因為我跑去喜蕙吃到了我覺得最好吃的豬肝粥,朋友問我說有海皇粥的豬肝粥好吃嗎?所以我總是要來試試,結果海皇粥的豬肝作業好吃,其實價格非常的划算,11 $2那麼大一碗,那麼多豬肝,但是還是稍微硬了一點點,但基本上整個東西還是很不錯吃的不只豬肝粥,他們的炸雞翅我也很喜歡,小姐服務也不錯,這一家是蠻不錯的粥品,喜歡合作的朋友可以過來

    The best !

    Very Hong Kong style , freely made , very hot and delicious, we will be back to more .

    A little hidden food court. The pork liver congee and chicken wings are excellent! I'll definitely come back for these. I think the wings would be great to take out and enjoy with a bottle of beer. My picky-eater husband said these are the best wings he's had on the West Coast so far. What!?

    After I ordered, in less than ten minutes I was served a hot beef stew with noodles. The dark brown beef stew was delicious! They serve you bite size chunky, and fat beefy parts that add to the flavor and half noodles. Was surprisingly filling, it's perfect ratio for one person.

    Fried chicken wings

    Finally they reopen Rowland Heights location. I always been a customer to their Alhambra store. The fried chicken wings and the beef stew are their best dishes. If you're sick, try their Chicken Porridge for a comfortable stomach. Overall it is great comfort food restaurant. Not everyday you want bbq or hotpot.

    Chicken wings. Crunchy, juicy, yummm

    Came for weekend breakfast at 9am and the place was already packed! Highly recommend to come before…read more9:30am if you want the breakfast specials. The breakfast specials are a really good deal- I got combo F with pork chop/egg/pineapple bun burger and congee for 13.99. Don't be fooled by how plain the congee looks when they serve it- it still has a great savory flavor! Portions are big and they give free drink refills. If you order the hot milk tea/milk tea, disclaimer it's HK style so comes unsweetened and you can sweeten it to your personal taste with the condensed milk or sugar on the table. Service is also super quick so you'll be in and out of there, can probably even stop by if you're in a little rush. In total we spent about 35 min from being seated to finishing our meal and stepping out the door.

Environment is well decorated with Mahjong pieces at the tables and there's plenty of seats/couch spaces inside. Very good vibes. Lots of people speak Cantonese and Mandarin/Chinese here. Staffs are professional and provide good service as needed. Very clean and modern. Macau pork chop buns and french toasts look very delicious and tempting. Prices are decent. You can choose from all kinds of rice rolls, rice plates, noodle soups, sandwiches, snacks, stir fried entrees, etc. and they even serve breakfast. Nice. Good menu variety. I had the $9.99 golden yellow salted droopy egg yolks french toast which was topped with custard syrup, pork sung meat floss toppings, peanut butter, etc. It was so droopy good and filled with juicy salted egg yolks. Great flavors. Huge portions. Worth it for afternoon snack. French toast was really made fluffy with egg ingredients. Sweet! Great value. $13.99 fish ball/fried fish cake noodle soup was fulfilling. Good balance and good food presentation. Loved all their colorful plates/bowls. Added a red bean iced beverage and iced coffee to go. Good feeling eating inside the place. We will definitely revisit in future. Service was very memorable. Great atmosphere.

The cuts are perfectly thick and tender, and mixing it with the runny egg is incredibly satisfying. Even better than my usual go-to spots. We also tried the Taiwanese Mini Hot Pot--the broth is mild, but their Shacha dipping sauce is super authentic and hits the spot. The Stir-fried Water Spinach had great wok hei, too. But the real plot twist was the Pineapple Bun with Butter. I normally skip these because I find them too sweet, but theirs is a game-changer. Extremely crispy on the outside with that perfect slice of cold butter melting inside. Great portions, quick service, and a very comfortable environment to just sit down and enjoy a solid meal with friends. Highly recommend!

The rice and minced pork was super good. Good sweetness and texture. The chow fun was good but I think I would have preferred soy sauce option over the black bean option. The crispy noodles had a really good texture that I really liked, but I wish they were in a diff sauce. A more savory soy sauce or a more salty peanut sauce would have been great. I also like the ambiance and service was also pretty good! the food did not take that long to come out. Everything was pretty affordable and parking was really simple to find as well! Overall, I would recommend going to this place! I think most people would really enjoy it!

However, we were extremely disappointed with the HK style noodle soup, which was the dish that we came for in the first place! Imagine the disappointment. It really just seemed like they added maybe an extra 4-5 spoonfuls of oil into our dish because it was a grease-fest. I thought my gf was being dramatic about it but I tried it myself, and literally had to soak my mouth with a napkin to get rid of the oil that layered my lips. See photos. When we brought this up to the male server, he said it was normal. I said that's weird but accepted it. He then saw me taking photos of my meal and then quickly came over and asked if I wanted a refill for my drink. Coincidence? Maybe. I brought it up again to the female server when I paid the bill, she was honest at least and said the dish isn't supposed to be that oily. If you're looking for actually delicious HK style noodles, I recommend going to KW Cafe on Colima. They have the exact same drinks, dishes (maybe even more), at the same price. The restaurant itself was pretty spacious and clean. Just what you'd expect from a typical Asian restaurant. I just can't get over how damn oily that soup was, that 1 sip I took literally went right my body as I write this review from their toilet.
