Congee House Restaurant — Restaurant in Richmond Hill

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...

We came to Congee House for a Sunday lunch with our family, including young kids. The place was mostly empty, so it was easy to find parking and seating. Prices were fair, food was decent, and service was okay—they were helpful when the kids spilled water and didn’t seem bothered by the baby making a bit of a mess.

However, one major issue soured the experience. The TV was showing a show with guns, violence, and kidnapping—clearly inappropriate for a family meal. My husband politely asked the staff to change the channel, but was told no. When he asked again later in Chinese, pointing out the violent content, the staff finally (and reluctantly) switched it to something more neutral. It left us feeling pretty uncomfortable that this even had to be asked, especially on a quiet Sunday afternoon with kids around.

Overall, the food was fine but the atmosphere didn’t feel very family-friendly. Not sure...

Me and my friends came over and had a meal. But once it comes to the payment we only give cash as the perfected amount with no tips cause we are just High school kids that doesn’t have much. This dude after notices the tips he hasn’t received he gave us an attitude. Like what gives an old men showing us such a behaviour to some young teenagers for that little bit of money. At the end we had to look through our backpacks to even find those $1-2 dollar coins for his pleasing. True let unbelievable behaviour for a full time server. In others cases the food is overall mid and not that good as i expected. Most of the things are dry and in some cases food portions are good but the others are small. The balance is just sooo off. I don’t recommend coming here with the very few number...
