We got there right when they opened. Got seated in a small table for our group of 9. After we ordered the waiter asked if we would like to love to a bigger table. We told him that the other lady didn’t want to give us a bigger table. Shortly after we ordered, the boss came over and moved us to the bigger table. The waiter was also nice enough to talk us down from ordering too much congee. The roast duck and roasted pig was the best. The congee was good but we’ve had better. The vegetable was drenched in congee. The rice noodles were good. The beef rice rolls were also very tasty. The soy sauce noodles were a little in the oily side. Lastly the turnip cubes were about to go bad. Could taste a little sourness. I would still recommend this place. Also this is walking distance to the Marriott and Residence Inn.

One of those restaurants that provide great value and descent food.

Fast service. I came on a busy night and was able to get seated in around 15 min. Everything was ordered online through a QR code and we paid in cash and got 5% off. Overall, everything was very tasty and highly recommend getting the beef chow fun to everyone.

This shop is my favorite afternoon tea restaurant. Price is a little pricey compared to scarbough , but you pay what you get. Especially for the pork chop only 13 and includes one cold drink (bubble tea or red beans with ice cream). The waiter and waitress are professional and never miss the food. But the lunch and afternoon tea special only available on Weekdays. I hope the owner can extend it to the whole week.

I’ve been coming here for years, and the food consistently hits the spot. On my latest visit, I ordered the Cantonese Chow Mein, Dried Seafood and Garlic Fried Rice, Seafood Super Bowl Congee, and Deep-Fried Chicken Wings. The Cantonese Chow Mein is always a standout – perfectly crispy noodles topped with a rich, flavorful gravy and a generous mix of meat and seafood. The Dried Seafood and Garlic Fried Rice is one of my personal favorites – it’s packed with umami and incredibly aromatic. The Seafood Super Bowl Congee is comforting and full of depth, with a hearty portion of seafood that makes it especially satisfying on a cold day (or any day, really). The deep-fried chicken wings were crisp, juicy, and well-seasoned – great as a side or starter. This place is a family favorite, and for good reason. The food is consistently delicious, portions are generous, and the flavors never disappoint. We’ll definitely keep coming back!

first visit: march 23, 2024 went with friends for dinner, we had reserved a table for 20 around 11am today. if you plan to go on a weekend, better reserve while early cause this place/branch is packed! we were seated within minutes of reservation time (630pm), and staff CHERRY was very accommodating. we were a group of 16 with some kids -apparently i over-ordered, but we had them to go anyway, so no food wasted. fast service considering how busy it was.. i can't stress enough how wonderful the staff are.. I'm calling out the owner: these people are very good! just saying! food is awesome! we had a good spot, and price is reasonable! parking a little difficult during dinner time, but lots of parking, so just be patient! they ran out of bbq pork, so our server recommended something and saved some for us by ordering it ahead. this place is highly recommended!

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Ambience: 5 Stars Value: 5 Stars Overall: 5 Stars Congee Queen on Leslie Street is likely one of the best Congee Queen locations I’ve visited, and I’ve been to quite a few. If you are familiar with Congee Queen’s reputation for quality, this particular spot truly lives up to, and even surpasses, the high expectations associated with their name. There are several aspects that set this location apart, and I hope my experience will be insightful if you are considering stopping by. Firstly, I found the service here to be impressively friendly. Given how incredibly busy this place can get—especially on weekends—it’s remarkable that the staff remain as attentive and polite as they do. One word of advice for anyone planning to come on a Saturday or Sunday: you’re going to want to call ahead to reserve a spot. The restaurant fills up quickly, and for good reason. Despite the hustle and bustle, the waitstaff always found time to check in on us and were attentive to our needs, making the whole dining experience smooth and comfortable. When it comes to the food, this Leslie Street location is simply unmatched compared to others, particularly the Congee Queen at Centrepoint Mall. I can say with confidence that the dishes here are a level above—from taste to presentation—and there’s really no comparison. We started with the sweet and sour pork, which turned out to be a highlight for all of us. One thing that really stood out was how well the pork was cooked. Unlike at other locations where you may find it overly battered, here the balance was perfect—more tender pork and less batter, giving it a crispiness that felt light and well-executed without sacrificing flavour. The sauce was just right too, not too sweet, which is often a pitfall with sweet and sour dishes. We also ordered the fried chili turnip patties, and they were bursting with flavour. This dish was one of my personal favourites, thanks to the crispy exterior and the combination of spices that made every bite a delight. The turnip patties were well-seasoned and had just the right amount of kick to them, which complemented the rest of our meal beautifully. It’s rare to find a dish like this done so well, and this location certainly gets it right. In addition to these highlights, we ordered both noodles and a rice dish, and every component was spot on. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente and seasoned with a good mix of vegetables and sauce that was neither too greasy nor too bland—a balance that is sometimes hard to strike with stir-fried noodles. The rice was fluffy and had a nice blend of textures with vegetables and meat that rounded out our meal in a satisfying way. The overall quality of food at Congee Queen Leslie really sets this location apart. It’s not just the variety on the menu that’s impressive—it’s the consistency in preparation, the flavours, and the presentation of each dish. Whether you are in the mood for their signature congee, fried dishes, or noodles, this spot manages to deliver an experience that feels thoughtfully curated, with each dish cooked to perfection. The quality control here feels a notch above, and I would recommend this location over others without hesitation. To sum it up, if you are in the area, Congee Queen on Leslie is worth the visit. Just make sure you call to book a reservation, particularly on weekends. The service is consistently friendly, and the food speaks for itself—each dish is carefully crafted, flavourful, and often better than you’ll find at other locations. It’s not just the sweet and sour pork and chili turnip patties that were a delight; everything we ordered was done right, from noodles to rice. For those who are already fans of Congee Queen, this location might just become your new favourite—and if you’re new to the experience, this is the perfect place to start. xx kellychan360

Got takeout for this Congee Queen and honestly the portion is not bad. We got the fried lobster and mango shrimp and they were delicious. Although I wish the lobster had more meat and more shrimp (a good chunk of it was pork). It would have just been better value. Overall, still pretty good.
