Congee House - Richmond Hill

One must order the Cantonese Chow mein.No bbq pork (but that is how we enjoy it)Flavoured well and not greasy or overloaded with sauce (perfectly balanced of crispy and soft noodles)This dish was so delicious that we pretty much ate most of it before I realized to take photos of our food!We also ordered:?Deep fried chicken wings 1x plain 1x salted-both superb! Highly recommend ordering!?Shrimp spring roll -excellent?Beef noodle roll-meat was firmer than expected but my hubby liked it. We would order again?Seafood Congee -good for the price —has octopus so my little one did not enjoy the flavour as much.Pricing is excellent and food is delicious ? this was a great find in our local Plaza by the Costco. We would definitely eat here again.Vegetarian options: Menu has optionsParking: No issues finding parkingKid-friendliness: Family friendly food

We ended up at this place because the other congee place we were going to was actually closed on the day we wanted to go. Searched Yelp and found this house to come to. They have a decent selection of items and the things are quite well done. The Chinese deep fried dough was very good and we ordered and extra one after the initial order. It sort of has a diner atmosphere in here but the decor is more fancy with the black chairs. The servers were all older men.We ordered different congee and fried dough. We got a fish congee and also a preserved egg and pork congee. Both were done really well. The fried dough was good too, so much so that we ordered a second order. We also did one order of the beef cheung fun, those were decent too.

The food wasn 't so great, but the environment was acceptable. The only thing that shocked me was when I ordered eggplant with minced pork and it came up without any trace of minced pork. We barely touched it as the taste was quite unbearable and I waited till I saw the bill to confirm that the dish did say minced pork to ask the server. The server said oh they forgot to put meat? Sorry and walked away.

Customer service even more rude than what you would expect from a Chinese place. Lunch special portion is fair, not big, tastes good, doesn’t include a drink. Can’t order tea time specials for takeout.

Food is better than it looked. Not overly salty but portions aren't as much as other places. Satisfied with flavour of food but service is kind of like they're doing you a favour. Notta thank you or would you like a receipt? Typical I guess.
