| - When you consider:
1) This place is authentic - how do I know? The waiters and waitress don't smile and can, at times ignore you, just like in Hong Kong. ;-)
2) The prices for how much you actually get
3) The taste for how much you pay
These three things, when considered as a whole, forces me to give it a 5 star rating.
Independently, the price isn't the best - there's cheaper Chinese joints out there. Certainly, the quantity is great, but there are other joints that give you just as much for what you pay. And in terms of taste, no HK Cantonese will tell you this is the best, most delicious Cantonese food they've ever eaten in Toronto - it's simply not true....but combine all three aspects and there aren't many restaurants that can compete with Congee Wong...well, yes, Congee Queen, and Congee Time would be exceptions as they follow the same formula.
If you have a family outing and you want to save some $$$ but not at the cost of everyone's enjoyment, come here.
Downtown folks who believe they have the best options downtown don't know what they are missing.
