Mr Congee - York

Worst food I’ve ever had and I will not go back to this location again. BBQ duck not plucked or skinned properly, the quality and taste of the BBQ pork was a joke. We shared our concerns with the servers when the dishes were brought to our table and they provided no solution or alternatives or apologies. One of the servers just listened and walked away. Another interesting situation was I ordered the BBQ Duck Rice Noodle. A server brought me a big bowl of noodle and then left. Surprised! Where’s the duck? I thought the duck might be covered at the bottom (which would be super creative) so I stir the noodle but found nothing. Guess what, they said the duck will come separately. I am like wow why not wait for both are ready then bring them to me…waited for around 5 mins or might be even longer, the BBQ duck finally arrived but the noodle has been soaked in the soup for a while. This is not right. Also, they placed the wrong order for one of our three items. Most stores in the food court have way better food quality for BBQ duck and BBQ pork than this MR Congee Restaurant on Yonge. I go to the Hwy7/Kennedy store many times for dinner and never had any issue. Had dinner at this Yonge store earlier this year and it was fine. This lunch experience was terrible and I will never come back again.

I've been to many Chinese restaurants in different countries in Europe. This restaurant is definitly one of the best I've been to. All customers were Asian when we came in, which is a sign that the food is authentic. It was very good. And the service was also very good. The waiter was super nice and helpful.

I usually go to their Scarborough location and gave this Richmond Hill location a visit. The food here isn't that good and the service is aggressive and they are obviously understaffed. Servers yell at each other and also at patrons waiting in line. they're quite busy and the table we got was cramped so that servers kept asking patrons to move so they could slide through between tables. we were also told to write our own order down and it was difficult to flag down our server. our order must've gotten lost along the way too because tables around us that had put in their orders afer ours were all served before us. we ended up waiting ~35 minutes for our first dish. Pepper salt pork chop was dry and lacked a baking soda or egg in the marinade to deal with the dryness of a lean cut of pork. also lacked seasoning like salt and spice and seemed to throw diced onions and bell peppers on top. Tofu grouper casserole pretty good flavours and uses real grouper. a good amount of fish but only had like 4 pieces of tofu. Snow pea leaves with king mushroom the corn starch slurry didn't hold and became soupy but otherwise the vegetables were fresh.

Update on 12th Sept 2022 Revisited on last Wed 7th Sept around 4pm. No line up and plenty of tables. Perfect afternoon tea spot for family. They offer variety of noodles and rice combos. The afternoon tea combo comes with tea, coffee, cold bubble milk tea and red bean drink w ice cream. Extra $3, you can add a side dish with 2 lamb skewers, deep fried tofu, cucumber salad many more. Excellent customer service. Our server Cindy was very welcoming and courteous. She checked on us few times to make sure we had enough tea/water and our food were served. Food was great as always. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend to friends and family. Pretty decent Chinese cuisine with reasonable prices. Portion was good and food served hot. Good customer service. The server Jason was very helpful and attentive. The only concern was the food came out in 20 30 minutes. The wait time to get the table was also long.

Great value and quick service. Typical Cantonese style cuisine. Service is hit or miss but that's part of the experience
