Really, I was not trying to be cheap!
I came here with good intentions since Congee Star has 4 Star rating and it is close by Shops at Don Mills and we were all hungry.......
There is a good selections in the menu and the price point here is really good. Portion is huge but most of the dishes we ordered were meh to bad...
Officially now I had the worse ever Beef Short Ribs in Honey Pepper Sauce ($10.95) here. The ribs were chewy, tasteless, rubbery and dry. The sauce was bland and tasteless too....
Rice Noodle with Beef and Black Bean Sauce ($7.95) has the same rubbery beef, tons of noodles but not enough sauce.
Eggplant & Minced Pork Spicy Sauce in Hot Pot ($8.75) was overly sweet with no spiciness or the "fish fragrance"
Garlic Shoots with Garlic ($8.75) was a little oily but was the best dish of the evening.
Service was excellent and friendly but sadly the food was not up to par.
I just hope my Yelp friends were drunk enough and would have eaten anything.
