👍 The name has changed from "garlic onion" to "Congee House Restaurant". The menu is different from before. The amount is also less than before. The taste is a bit more than average. I would have given it 5 stars if the amount was larger, usually Asin restaurants give a bigger amount for that value. P...

    The name has changed from "garlic onion" to "Congee House Restaurant". The menu is different from before. The amount is also less than before. The taste is a bit more than average. I would have given it 5 stars if the amount was larger, usually Asin restaurants give a bigger amount for that value. Prices are averaging $ 17 per plate. The washrooms are small but clean. Can have 2 people at a time. The washroom is accessible for special need people. Their service was good and the person was around us most of the time. It's a good place to take your friend for a quick meal. Enjoy your meal :)!

    Loving places like this that give better prices for equally (if not more delicious) dishes as other places. Especially a fan when I'm not feeling well, and I am in need of some congee -[HONG KONG STYLE CURRY FISH BALLS] $5.50 🟡 Spheres of fish paste that have been cooking in a curry sauce 🟡 Not spicy at all but super flavorful 🟡 Give it a try as it's a staple in Hong Kong! (and it's very tasty) -[FRESH RICE NOODLE ROLL W/DUCK MEAT] $6.50 🔲 Typically rice noodle rolls can lack flavor without soy sauce but because of how flavorful this duck meat is, I found I didn't even want soy sauce on it 🔲 A decent amount of duck meat in each piece! Also, I have never come across this dish at other places so definitely unique! 🔲 Highly recommend this too -[FRESH OYSTER CONGEE] $8.95 (not pictured) 🦪 Plenty of large oysters in the congee so you get your bang for your buck 🦪 Oysters do indeed taste fresh! 🦪 Another unique menu item I haven't come across elsewhere but I find myself ordering this and the dishes above time and time again 📝 They have a very convenient online ordering system!

    Service was good, the guy who handed me the food was nice and cheerful however food was bad. The batter was super thick to cosmetic the size where the actual meat itself was about 10-20% of each. Similar to the rice rolls, the skin was so thick to the point reminding me the old school dim sum or the lower class dim sum nowadays. Will I return for a second chance? Probably not as there're many good ones in RH and Markham.

    There's some pretty decent Chinese food at affordable prices here. The chefs definitely know what they're doing; my only real complaint is that the tables are quite dirty. The servers are nice, the interiors are modest, and that's about it; there's not much to highlight here. I'd visit if I'm in the area and wanted some HK-style food.

    Good portion, reasonably priced, the beef fried rice noodles was not oily at all, taste great with chilli sauce.

    A nice small congee Hong Kong style cafe restaurant, tasty congee, and nice wok-hei with the fried rice noodles, menu has all the favourite Hong Kong & Cantonese tastes, great selection of rice & noodles dishes, service is fast & efficient.

    The food was great, kudos to the server (a very gentle old man) that told us how many plates were enough. The place was empty, which makes me sad. I hope they actually make good business because in price/portion this place is worth it. Will be coming back!

    Ok, I have finally revisited this place and satisfied with the food and HK speed service level. The server is polite and attentive. The food is above expectation and definitely can fulfill your crave for a taste of HK. I Will definitely recommend to my family and friends for a stop by after shopping at Costco!

    The workers are very nice and helpful here; food had really good taste, comparable to other good Chinese restaurants. There’s a stigma about how Asian servers don’t check up on you during your meal but if you go here they really do make you feel taken care of. Would come back to have another dinner when I’m in the area.

    I don’t usually leave a google reivew but I had to for this one. Ordered about 8 dishes for takeouts to treat guests at my place. Every dish was very satisfying and such a great value for the price. It was my first time ordering ginger chicken, beef with broccoli and eggplant with pork and they were truly the best. (My favorite pick is ginger chicken!!) Will definitely order again when we have friends coming over next week :)

    Did a takeout and they mixed up 2 orders, had to drive back to get the right food. Wasn’t busy it was confusion. The food was a 3.5 however service was a 2, so gave them a 3.

    Good food. I had a dinner there with my family on Friday night before this long weekend. This is a local Chinese restaurant in Richmond Hill that I think is the best compare to some other I had tried. Yes, real Chinese/ Cantonese food. Recommended Dishes: 1. Braised To-fu & Vegetable - crispy tofu in soya/ oyster sauce. 2. Sweet & Sour Chicken w/ Pineapple - the chicken meats with batter deep fried and can remain crispy even with the sweet & sour sauce. Taste good! 3. Minced Pork w/ Eggplant -slightly spicy. Taste good compared to other that I had tried.

    We are vegetarians, although the manu doesn't have too many options. They are willing to customize for us. The food is good.

    The food wasn't so great, but the environment was acceptable. The only thing that shocked me was when I ordered eggplant with minced pork and it came up without any trace of minced pork. We barely touched it as the taste was quite unbearable and I waited till I saw the bill to confirm that the dish did say "minced pork" to ask the server. The server said "oh they forgot to put meat? Sorry" and walked away.

    A hidden gem. Congee and rice noodle is tasty and good quantity. Authentic and price is reasonable. Will be back.

  • 3/5 Matt A. 2 years ago on Google
    It worth 3.5 stars actually. Foods are in average. Price a bit high if consider the portion, but still acceptable. It’s clean, quiet, proper service.

    Great Chinese restaurant. Delicious and clean Chinese food. Yummy congee and a good variety of dishes. Staff are friendly and served us great, even when we arrived closer to closing. Much needed restaurant in this part of Richmond hill. Lots of parking

    Super delicious Chinese food! Food came so quick while we were super hungry and the server was so kind and efficient. Highly recommend!

    Decent food. Surprisd to see different types of food served other than just Congee. Will try others next time. Not sure if they had updated the interior from the old restaurant.

    Me and my friends ordered food and it was amazing! The food tasted really good, it had a lot of flavor, and it filled us up. I plan to come here again.

👍👍 Love the vibe of the bar! The Mozzarella, fresh pasta, and pizza were all amazing! They offer 50% off bottled wine on Wednesday, and 15% on your first bill if you are a new customer (requires registering on the app). The only downside is that there was not enough room on the sofa.
