Certainly has improved a lot from my last visit. Pretty tasty with decent dinning floor space. The signature dace fish balls is a must-order item in my opinion. The other dish worth to call out is the spicy minced pork lo mein. Great noodle texture with nice spicy kick from the minced pork topping. Simply satisfying. Parking in the basement and will take a little time to take the elevator up to the second floor. Recommended. read more

The restaurant is inside one of the famous dead malls of the RH/Markham area. But despite that, the restaurant has endured. In general, the items had a much lighter flavor than the typical restaurant, which makes it suitable for seniors or those who want to eat healthy. The noodles and wonton in the wonton noodle soup I ordered were great quality and cooked just right. But the flavor of the soup was much lighter than expected. I would give 3 stars for the food. The place is brightly lit and clean. The restroom, while small, was also decently decorated and clean. The service was not bad with acceptable attitudes. I would definitely return in the future with my parents who prefer less salt and fat on their foods. read more

Very Good Congee & Noodle - wonton noodles - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This place has moved from the first floor to the second floor in the same plaza. The plaza itself is half empty and in my opinion is failing. But This restaurant is still top notch. The wontons and dumplings and beef brisket are still high quality. In noodle soups, you can't go wrong. I will say to stay away from their deep fried wontons though as it is all skin deep fried, like eating a deep fried chip. Just order noodle soup would be my suggestion as it is very well done. Recommend to come to this place as it is the only establishment worth visiting in this almost 80% empty mall. read more

Sigh I expected more from this place . There was a video going on instagram hyping this place but it's so underwhelming Cost wise , it's about a dollar more expensive than other wonton joints . $14 before tax for two topping noodle soup . I picked wonton n beef brisket Upon pick up , I noticed they gave me half a container of soup . Everywhere else I go and all my pho places always gives me a full container so I inquired . They ended up giving me some more but still not full container Upon trying it at home , it was so bland . I swear they added hot water to the broth when I asked for more lol Wontons are pretty small compared to trio and my jumbo wontons from the grocery store It was all so underwhelming ...:( Likely won't come back read more

I came to this place after a 2 weeks away to Europe, I miss the Hong Kong local food so much. Two of us ordered a beef tendon lo mein (noodles with a small bowl of soup come separately) with wonton and spicy minced pork sauce (which I love) and an assorted congee. They both taste really good, the ingredient texture is cooked and prepared perfectly and well seasoned. Not too salty. I love the congee texture. It costs around $33 exclude tips. Try this out if you haven't yet! read more

Had a very satisfying meal here on the 2nd floor of King Square~both the food and service were spot on. We ordered : Minced Beef Congee ($8) The congee was smooth and comforting with a nice rice fragrance. The minced beef was tender and generous, simple but done really well. Liver Congee ($10) The pork liver was fresh, thick-cut, and very smooth with no bitterness at all. Paired with the silky congee base, it felt very authentic and comforting. Dough Stick Roll / Fried Dough Stick Roll ($9) Soft rice roll on the outside with a crispy fried dough stick inside, not greasy at all. A classic must-order with congee. Fried Dace Fish Balls ($11) Crispy on the outside, bouncy and flavorful inside. You can really tell they're freshly fried, perfect as a side or to share. What really stood out was the service , super quick, friendly, and efficient. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the whole experience had that cozy Hong Kong neighborhood eatery vibe that makes you feel right at home. Especially in the winter, there's nothing more comforting than a hot, smooth bowl of congee it truly warms you up and makes you feel at ease. Great value, comforting food! read more

Very meh congee & noodle...This spot is located inside King Square at Woodbine & 16th - given this mall is half empty parking is not a problem within the lot underground. There was a line during weekend lunch hours but went by quick was was fairly orderly. Ordered the following: - Minced Beef Congee - I wasn't a fan of the thicker texture so perhaps thats a preference, but there was no flavour in this otherwise. - Wonton Lo Mein with Shrimp Roe - This was ok, thought there were a ton of noodles, and the wontons were pretty packed - Plain Rice Roll - service wise, seems they forgot about this item and it arrived as I was about to ask to cancel it. - Sweet Dough Stick - this was definitely left out for a time as it was missing the crunchy texture, though goes well with congee as per usual I'm surprised how there always seems to be a line at this spot, perhaps its just a convenient location for many or just filling a craving that many have (myself included). Just nothing stood out for me to look forward to trying again or coming back. read more

Good selection of congee and noodles. The noodle is a bit small but tasty. The beef tendon is very tender and the dace fish actually tastes like real fish. The service is typical like any Chinese cafe. It wasn't too busy at noon and there was no wait. Looking forward to coming back to try their congee read more

Very Good Congee & Noodle - Beef tendon and dace fish noodle soup - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

It's hard to miss Very Good Congee & Noodle in the King Square Shopping Centre -- it's the only shop bustling with people, in a mall that is otherwise a graveyard of empty stores. The restaurant lives up to its name -- the food is very good. A winner for us was the beef rice noodle rolls, thin and delicate with a well-seasoned beef filling. The congee is more home-style, smooth and delicate, with lighter flavours. The only mild disappointment was the wonton noodle soup. The variety of toppings is nice, but the underlying noodles are very plain, the wontons average at best, and the broth uninspired. The overall price at about $12 per dish is very reasonable given the service (typical HK-style cafe) and tea. read more

Located inside Kings Square There is plenty of parking out front and underground. Their service is quick but inattentive as many items were forgotten. The food quality is meh. Lacks flavour and not just salt missing. The inside appears to be very flexible for seating and open kitchen for all to watch the wizardry happening in the back. The restaurant is brightly lit and spacious but the quality and attentiveness was not up to par unfortunately. read more

We came here two years ago when this spot first opened, and with two years now passed, we thought we'd revisit to see if there had been any improvements--or if things had changed from our initial experience. This time, my mom ordered the pork knuckles and pork liver lo mein, while I went with the dumplings rice noodles (ho fun). We also got the beef rice noodle rolls to share. Unfortunately, the lo mein didn't hit the mark. Last time, the noodles were undercooked, but this time, they were overcooked--soft to the point of being soggy, with no al dente texture. The pork liver was a little unusual in texture--spongy but soft--and it didn't have that distinct iron flavor that usually defines it. The dumplings ho fun was decent but not great. The amount of shrimp roe on the soup was minimal, more of a sprinkle than anything generous, and the rice noodles leaned toward the soggy side. They weren't as tender or silky as I've had at other places. The beef rice noodle rolls were consistent with our previous visit. They're still thicker than what you typically find at other popular congee spots--not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely a matter of personal preference. Overall, while the restaurant has its strong points, there's still room for improvement in terms of execution and consistency. read more

Very good noodles indeed! We ordered the cuttlefish, been tendon, dace fish noodle soups to share with a side of fried fish skin. Although the portions are smaller than competitors, there's more seafood/fish flavour in their fish balls and the food seems to have been prepared with care. Noodles also seem fresh rather than rehydrated. Simple, classic dishes done right and with that, it is worth the premium price. I will be back to try the congee! read more

Super busy congee/noodle place on a weekend. Luckily we got there right at noon and waited about 15 mins for a table. The later groups had to wait at least 1/2 hour. First time trying this place and I feel it might be my last time as well unless I do take out. Congee was very starchy but the fish balls were delicious. I got the two topping congee and it turned out to be $12 for a relatively small bowl. The fish balls were also tiny. The brisket combo was not bad but it was $16 for a watered down lemon tea. The rolls were pretty good though. We ended up paying over $50 for 3 dishes. Deducting two stars because we kept on smelling bleach. We didnt even drink the tea because the cups were all bleach taste. The restaurant was so loud but quite comfortable seatings. read more

We were influenced to try it from an instagram video and everything was priced well. The best out of three dishes was the congee. The wonton noodles were chewy but we found the wontons itself lacked a bit of flavour. The fried fish balls were a bit hype, nothing too special. We had to add spice to give it a kick. Overall I'd say it's your average congee noodle spot. read more

Satisfied with congee noodles This shop is worth recommending. Every time a friend asks me where the beef gluten noodles are the best.

Very Good Congee & Noodle - 炸鯪魚球 - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Last summer, my family went here for lunch in the King Square shopping centre. We ordered sliced fish congee, sampan congee, pork liver congee, dough stick(油條), ox-tongue sweet dough stick(牛脷酥), fried dace fish balls, bbq pork and duck rice rolls. The congee was very smooth and not watery. The fried dace balls were piping hot and bouncy. The rice rolls were thin and delicious. The dough sticks were also fresh and crispy. It was a great meal! Definitely will be back to try other dishes! read more

Overall rating 2.7/5 (rounded up on Yelp) Seeing a good number of people line up to eat here on a busy weekend seemed promising, especially since the mall it's located in is fairly quiet/empty. Unfortunately, the food I tried just wasn't worth the price I paid. Service was so-so (and my standards were already lowered considering it's a "dine & go" style of Chinese restaurant). After being seated for a little bit, I never received a menu, nor was there any signage instructing customers to refer to their online menu. The wonton noodle soup ($12) was fine, but I found the wontons a bit too salty. The assorted rice noodle rolls ($11) weren't great though - the rice noodle roll was too thick and doughy. Both dishes were on the smaller portion side considering the price. I'm unlikely to revisit since I know I can get the same dishes for a much better price & taste in the area. read more

Was driving around the neighborhood and decided to check out the new Kings Square shopping Center, appears to be 100% Asian leased. Many storefronts still not leased yet but appears to be promising as many small mom & pop type food places are have already opened and operating which brings me to this review and a separate review of Banh Mi House which is right next door Started off with the fried bread rice rolls. Outer rice roll layer was thin and silky but the interior bread roll was dense and dry which leads to rigorous chewing. Noodle soup with beef tendon was excellent. Their soup base was perfection, cinnamon, star anise, orange peel, etc, all flavors came together in one glorious flavor bomb. Hong Kong quality no joke. Shrimp/mince pork dumpling in shrimp roe soup was another excellent dish. A generous sprinkling of shrimp roe gave the soup a nice authentic shrimpy flavor profile. The dumplings had a nice ratio of shrimp, minced pork and shredded black fungus with each bite. I hope this quality remains consistent as usually a new restaurant will give extras to entice customers good word of mouth reviews and then the quality and ingredients used will slowly degraded. Hurry, get off your couch, turn off your k-dramas and give this new place a try before it's too late. Support the mom & pops, we're all one team read more

Finally got the chance to try this place after a friend recommended me to try. It does get quite busy. We got there around noon and we had to wait a bit. Ambiance - 4/5: the store front looked big. They do have a fair amount of tables and quick turnover. We got seated at a 2-seater and we had to move the sauces and hand sanitizer onto the seat beside us as the table is quite small. They have an open kitchen. Service - 3.75/5: they brought the food out pretty quickly and they checked on us quite frequently to collect finished dishes. Only one thing confused me. Everybody had regular cups (and there was a tray of clean cups) and they gave us disposable cups instead. Food - 3.75/5: compared to other similar places, the food portion is smaller and seems to have lesser choices. We ordered pork liver rice roll, dough stick rice roll and preserved egg & pork congee. The liver was tender and doesn't have any grittiness to it. The dough stick was mildly crispy. Overall, I liked that it was a thin batter (makes it interesting to try and pick it up without breaking). It is quite oily. There was a good amount of preserved eggs and pork to congee ratio. It is a little bit on the watery side. I like that it's not that salty. We also ordered 2 cold drinks - iced Hong Kong milk tea and iced lemon tea. The drinks were ok, nothing special with them. Not sure if they ran out of lemon slices - I had lemon and lime slices. The cups didn't feel cold but when you drank them, it was very cold. Although portion size were small, we were really full. Overall: 3.75/5 - come early if you want to avoid a long line up read more

A friend found this place and it was delicious! We shopped around the mall while we waited for our table and stumbled on a few other restaurants that we need to try next time. The liver congee was surprisingly tender and moist. Not dry and chewy like the kind I'm used to. It was very 'wat'. The fried dumplings stole the show. I enjoyed more than the fish balls!

Located inside King Square (Woodbine and 16th), Very Good Congee is very popular on the weekends. We came around 1pm, and was lucky there wasn't a lineup because right after we got a seat (waited around 10 mins), there was a long lineup afterwards. The menu offers a selection of congee, noodles in soup, rice rolls and much more. I will say, the portions in comparison to other restaurants are smaller, so for the two of us, we got three dishes. We got the preserved egg and pork congee, and I was surprised that there was a lot of pork pieces inside, plus the consistency wasn't as watery - which is great The shrimp rice roll was very tasty as the skin was soft, silky and the shrimp had a nice slight pepper after taste. Overall, everything tasted amazing, and we would definitely return! IG: Ayeween read more

This mall has been open for a while but we've never ventured in. While many of the store spaces are still vacant, there are quite a few restaurant/food places to explore. While wandering around, we were taking stock of those that had customers. One of our thoughts was to make sure the place we decided on had a good customer turn out so that 1. food would have a good turnaround - fresher, and 2. people must "like" the food. We decided on trying the congee and noodle place for lunch (good lunch food). It was the only restaurant that had a waitlist. It was busy inside and also had people ordering takeout. (Good sign!) After waiting about 10 minutes, we got a table. The menu was posted on the window outside so we were ready to order as we sat down. The table and chairs were clean as were the condiments which means they're at least wiped down (not the case for many of these "noodle joints"). We were a party of 2 of small-eaters so we only ordered a congee and noodle (thinking it would still be a lot). When the food came, we were glad we stayed with our order because the sizes were closer to Hong Kong (small) sizing. The dumpling (shrimp, pork, fungus) lo mein had shrimp roe sprinkled all over it so depending on your preference it could be good or bad. For me, not so good as I'm not a fan. On the menu it was there, but I thought they used the noodle with shrimp roe mixed in so the next time I go, I'd ask them to skip it. No matter, I just rinsed the noodles and dumplings in the soup and it tasted fine. I really liked their chili oil and it added to the flavour of the noodles. The noodles were the perfect texture, not mushy (I guess al dente?) as were the dumplings (skin). The dumpling flavour was delicious as well. For the congee we ordered the salted pork congee which normally would have the preserved duck egg, but I was happy to see this option. The congee base was nice and smooth, not watery, not too thick. The pork could have been a bit more flavourful, but I was content with it. While eating, we saw some other menu items that we'll return to try: dough fritter rice noodle, wonton noodle, beef brisket noodle, to name a few. read more

Great spot for lunch in King Square! I checked out this spot based on my mom and aunts recommendation, after pickle ball upstairs. It's catered to the Hong Kong palette, of a quick and filling meal. Servers are quick to bring menus and tea, the thermos for tea is kept at the table so you can refill easily. The soup noodles are cooked well, not too salty of a broth. The 3 of us ordered 2 soup noodles, congee, and fried wontons. The congee (not pictured) came with peanuts that were so good, I ordered another plate of it at no charge :) fried wontons did not have much flavour for the wrap, so there's a sweet and sour dip that compliments it. The place doesn't get too loud inside, but expect to wait on some benches at the door during the lunch hour for 15-20min. read more

I always see so many people here and wondered what the hype was all about about wonton noodles. So I finally decided to check out this place with my mom. We order wonton noodle soup ($10), spicy pork lo meen ($12) and bbq pork rice roll ($7). Everything was mediocre. I thought the portion for everything was pretty small compared to other places and the price for these items imo would be "expensive" when I know I can get it for less elsewhere. The wonton in the wonton noodles were tiny and I didn't like it was mixed with shrimp and pork. Also found it quite oily. The spicy pork was not as tender as I expected and there was SO much oil in it that by the time my mom finished her food, she was so grossed out to see her noodle drenched in oil!! The bbq pork rice roll came with 3 pieces for $7 and there was a lot of meat but it was just ok. They also gave us white radish which I enjoyed and it was refillable, however they they were so stingy about it but honestly I think it just depends on who you ask. The table next to us (table of 2) asked for seconds and they gave a lot but when I asked for seconds they only gave us 3 pieces lol. I think they're a family business and the servers there were generally nice but I will not be returning. read more

This is the kind of food I grew up with, so I am always happy to find somewhere that has authentic HK style congee and wonton noodles. I had the preserved egg and pork congee, sharing some veggies and shrimp rice rolls. Everything came quickly (with the usual chinese efficiency) and piping hot. My congee portion was perfect for one person, I liked the consistency of the congee itself and the fact that it wasn't overly salted. Rice rolls were soft and tender with large chunks of shimp. Going to try the wonton noodles next. Glad to see that they serve it the 'right' way, with the wontons on the bottom so that the noodles don't get soggy. read more

I was looking for a congee place today near home and this place came up on my search. This restaurant is located in a new Chinese shopping centre called King Square which is actually not that new but the place looked empty from the outside over the last 2 years so I didn't realize there were shops opened. It's located on the first floor and was a little difficult to find until we noticed the red arrow signs posted (please see my photo). We really liked the fish congee that we ordered which was very flavourful with lots of fresh greens and tasty peanuts. The dumpling noodle soup was okay but I've had better. My favourite dish was the beef rice noodle rolls (cheung fun) that had very soft silky texture of rice noodle stuffed with very tasty beef. I also liked the deep fried signature dace fish balls. I will definitely be coming back again as I am a big fan of congee and steamed rice noodle rolls! read more

Authentic HK style! My mom visited yesterday for the first time while she was strolling in the mall & only had good things to share... so much that she had to bring the family to try it out today! Their congee is cooked for about 3 hours, it has the perfect texture. (Even better than Sam's Congee IMO, I like how they serve it with plenty of green onion) Their pork liver is made like no other, even better than HK! The restaurant is facing the street so it has comfortable natural lighting and the seating is comfortable. You can even get their wonton (uncooked) for takeout, they're small in size and has really tasty flavour, texture, and thin wonton skin. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Went here after the first Anime Fiesta. It wasn't too busy. The service was pretty good. The restaurant itself is a bit loud. The food is extremely affordable and very straightforward. I ordered the steamed shrimp rolls, while my boyfriend and my brother both ordered congee. It took a while for my shrimp rolls to come out and they forgot to give me soy sauce for a bit as well. It tasted okay. The congee is simple, tasty and convenient. We did not pay over $10 for any of the dishes. For the price, I think it is very good. read more

Heard so much about this place, and was around the area but ordered some take out instead. We ordered a plain steamed rice roll with peanut butter and sesame sauce and the sweet sauce. The Steamed rice roll is good. The congee is good as well, but I personally do not like cilantro and did not know they will add cilantro into my 咸肉粥，would prefer they ask you about it before putting it in. So ended up, I didn't finish the bottom of it due to a personal preference. I have the take out menu in the car, will try to remember to add it in later on.

Tried to eat here for lunch. The place were packed. Even take out is more than half an hour wait. Came back for dinner. All congee were sold out and a few other popular items were sold out as well. We ordered pigs feet on rice and beef brisket on noodle. All the food tastes great. Meat are tender. Both of them came with some veggies is a nice touch. Price is on the high side compare to similar restaurants in the area. Portions are very small. I would recommend adding extra noodle if you are ordering. I was still hungry when I left. It would be a 4 star if size is more reasonable. Another complaint is the teas they gave us were cold. I don't mind coming back to try the congee. The fried wonton looks good too but I didn't have a chance to try it. One more thing to add, they have underground parking. Perfect for bad weather. But the mall is poorly designed. Hard to find your way around. No maps oand poor navigation signs. read more

Food is good but I find it more expensive here. They should lower the price a bit comparing to some other same type of restaurant

I grabbed takeout here and tried the spicy minced pork lo mein which was $12 plus $2 for wontons. the flavour of the minced pork was good but there was very little sauce. the wontons have a nice dried flounder flavour that makes it more complex and authentic, but the filling was rather loose and empty feeling inside the wrapper. Overall, authentic HK flavours but the execution is a bit lacking. I find that $14 is rather expensive when compared to other wonton shops in Markham of similar quality. read more
