I never expected much from Congee Queen after trying their Steeles location over a year ago. I found their food plain and whenever my parents proposed the idea of returning, I always rejected it. However, my family wanted to celebrate a special occasion and I was willing to go wherever my mom wanted to go because it was her celebration.
She chose this location of Congee Queen. Upon arrival, I was instantly pleasantly surprised at the set up of the restaurant. There's a beautiful centerpiece lamp. My family got seated at one of the cozy circular booths. My parents ordered lobster, fried rice with fried scallops, general tao chicken (I think that's what it was), clams, and turnip patties. There was another disk that we got, but unfortunately I cannot recall. For the 6 dishes feeding 5 adults, it was a bit under $100 after taxes. The food wasn't as bland as the Steeles location, and the decor is really pretty. Washrooms are also nicely set up too. I definitely recommend this location. Service was friendly.
