| - We've been here many times for both lunch and dinner. The food is either under seasoned or just right. Hit or miss. However, this will be the very last time we ever step foot in their Markham or other locations ever again.
We went there for dinner tonight and ordered our usual fair... deep fried salted squid, deep fried spicy pork chops, homestyle rice noodles, beef & egg fried rice and stir fried Chinese greens.
Although the food was seasoned well, the squid were soggy, the pork chops were oily and the fried Chinese greens (dow-mew?...not sure how to write that) was mushy tasting which was a huge turn off considering they charged $15.99 plate!
As we were unable to eat everything, we asked for plastic take out containers. They wanted to charged us $1. for each container!!! They said we could have the styrofoam ones for free but because I wanted the plastic containers (which are reusable and not throw away like the other ones) they wanted $1. each. I spoke to the manager and she was a real ditz. She offered to put our food in a takeout box.
Even knowing we are regulars, this is how they treated us. I am so disgusted with this restaurant. I will never, ever go there again. They do not give a rat's ass for their loyal customers.
In the end, the waitress brought over the plastic containers to us and said she would charge us $1. for each one. She picked up the folder with our receipt & cash inside and assured us she was going to charge us. I said, that's fine. I'll just take it out of the tip. To which she just stood there and said, no, this is a separate charge and walked back to the cashier to proceed with the bill for the containers. Lol. We just left at that point.
So, good riddance, Congee Queen. You've lost our business. So much competition in Markham. You're just a needle in a haystack. Besides, they're just a spin off (copy-cat) of Congee Wong anyway. I would much rather go there from now.
