Congee is good but deep fried squid is over cooked. Dry and hard to eat.
Awesome noodle shop, reminds me of the noodles I'd eat in Hong Kong. Prices are great and the selection is vast. The deep fried minnows with spiced salt are ?. I could eat a bucket of these. My recent order was for take out and they were still crispy after a 15 min drive back to our place. I had some leftovers and microwaved them the next day and still delicious and crispy. Congee Noodle King is always on my list to visit when I'm in Vancouver.
Great portion! Delicious Congee! The waiter or waitress even though are not fluent in English, but the menu is well done that we can order with no problem. The table might be a bit challenging to get during the peak time (lunch, dinner), but we went around 1 p.m. and it was not bad.The only thing is Debit or Cash only!
If you want a taste of authentic Chinese cuisine this is the place. The House Special Chow Mein is always flavourful with the distinguished 'Wok' favor that I always look for. The Wonton soup that I usually order never leaves me disappointed. Their sampan congee was extremely creamy , all the rice grains totally dissolved into the porridge base. A well balance of flavours in the food at this restaurant. Good price and food for a casual Chinese dinner. The only drawback is it is a cash only. I am interested in going back to try their lobster special combo.Service is fast and friendly.
Best congee in town with good value for money. They offer wide variety of congee at a very reasonable price. The Chinese donut and fried tofu is perfect match with the congee. Their fried noodle is also a wise choice. The place is neat, clean and most importantly they observed social distancing. Excellent service, too.
As always comfort chinese food always recommended to go if you are hungry and be needing congee. Same just another name for congee noodle house. But it got a huge deal if you are coming with a big party. Definitely a to go place to eat big here!!! Recommended
Went to Congee Noodle King with a friend to have Christmas Day dinner. I can now claim to have had the some of the worst Chinese food ever. I don't come by this statement without some considerable lifetime experience. I am a born and raised Vancouverite, and have been eating out at a broad selection of Chinese restaurants since the early 60's. Ming's, Yen Lock, Ho Inn, Green Door, On On, Flamingo, New Castle, Pink Pearl, On Lock, Bill Kee, Peninsula, Hon's, Western Lake. Just to mention a few. The meal...The worst crab ever. $50.00 for a dry, impossible to remove the meat from the the shell. When one did get the meat out, it was all shreaded and dry. This happens when the crab is old, keep in a tank far too long, has been dead, near death, or frozen. It took so much time and effort to try and eat it, the rest of our dishes became cold durring the work out. All the other dishes, except for the small bowl of scallop & Chinese mushroom congee which was OK, were just awful. The Kung Pao chicken was unrecognizable as such. It had few pieces of small diced chicken, mostly onions, celery, and peanuts in an overly soy sauced coating. The supposed Sliced beef in Satay sauce on fried noodle, was covered in yet another over soy sauced, greasy, corn starched concoction. Nothing close to a Satay. Total price for this Christmas nightmare for two people was $95.00 with tip $110.00. I can now claim to have been to this place on two occasions. FIRST & LAST! You have now been given fair warning. By the way, I took my chefs training in 1976, apprenticed at both the Hotel Vancouver and Banff Spings Hotel from '76- '78, and have been cooking for nearly 50 years. Next time you want to go for Chinese food, find any list of, or site that has a list of restaurants. Close your eyes, wave your hand over it, touch it with your index finger, and go to that restaurant. I guarantee it will be better than this place!
My brother had one of special Congee's, it was very good. I had panfried shrimp and cashews, with added vegetables. It was very tasty and wonderfully crunchy.Thanks for a great lunch!
Very Good Food in fresh.However Congee not like the old day before pandemic.The table less than before. Noodle and Congee Conner product not like the old days good. The kitchen still can maintain a good gourmet with Aroma dishes???
Have not been back since COVID. Was out early doing errands, decided to have some congee for breakfast, one of the quintessential item for a Chinese breakfast. The restaurant is open at 10am!It is a no frill Chinese restaurant, they had done some reconfiguration of the tables, not so tightly packed pre-COVID. The tables are nicely spaced, place looks a lot more tidy & clean.If you are looking for congee… look no further, this is the place! We ordered the large bowl of dried oyster, century eggs & shredded pork. Unfortunately they do not have the fried donut fritters that goes superbly well with congee. The congee was flavourful & full of ingredients to the point that the congee was thick like oatmeal. No complaints there. At 10am, you can order fried noodles! It is a full menu available at such a early morning. We were satisfied with our congee.
