Thought I would give this place a try after hearing good things from my brother. I went on a Monday night at around 8pm and it was pretty quite. I was expecting a bit more from this place after my brother hyped it up but it wasn't too bad.
We ordered
Crab meat with fishmow soup - didn't enjoy the taste as it was very thick and you could taste the corn starch
Sweet and sour pork - decent portions and fried to perfection
Soft shell crab fried rice - pretty bland vs. Congee Queen's
Breaded shrimp w/ spicy salt - simple and boring but the spices went well with the rice
Congee Star's food didn't have that authentic Chinese taste compared to the other congee joints. Overall it was a quick fix, but for comparable prices I would have rather went to Congee Queen up the street.
