CONGEE NOODLE KING - Vancouver

Not the cleanest place in the world to eat, the food is

The Kingsway location is way worse the the broadway location.FOOD: I had the BBQ meat and it was dry flavourless and the portion size of the meat was small. The ratio between meat to rice was like 1 to 10 so for every bite you can hardly taste the rubbery meat.SERVICE: not bad but not good. Waitress didn’t even give us the soup that is suppose to come with the BBQ meat.ATMOSPHERE: no condiments on the table (no chilli oil, no soy sauce, no vinegar)Go to the CONGEE HOUSE BROADWAY location it’s worth the drive.

I ordered several dishes for takeout and found them to be good, but mostly average. The honey garlic spareribs, fried rice, rice noodles, and others were all average in taste and reminded me of the Chinese food you would find in a mall food court. While it did satisfy my hunger and the portions were generous, it feels more like a quick and easy option for when you're craving Chinese food.

One word consistency! Every time I come here to satisfy my Chinese food cravings, they always deliver a great and flavourful meal. The congee is fantastic, the special fried rice is a go to, the spicy fried silver fish or squid is another favourite, and last but not least, their buddha feast with tofu is top notch! The portions are big and great value for money. The servers are always in a hurry and aren't the most polite but they get the job done. The only negative comment I have is that they only accept cash, but sometimes they do allow you to pay by debit card.

Whenever we're in the mood for Chinese food, this is our first choice. It's top-notch! Our favorites are the deep fried tofu and stir fry noodles. The restaurant is always bustling and parking can be a challenge. Just keep in mind they are closed on Wednesdays!
