Congee Queen.

congee queen... 3 friends and I were super hungry, so we went to close by Congee Queen by Don Mills Centre. It is always pretty busy during dinner time and we had to wait to get a table for about 15 minutes. This place has decent food and we usually get pretty similar things each time that we come. We ordered a "Spiced Soya Sauce Duck" ($5.99), which is a popular dish, with the duck placed on top of tofu that soaks up all the sauce. Since this is Congee Queen, we got a "Seafood Super Bowl Congee" ($8.75), which came in a giant bowl and was loaded with lots of seafood including shrimp, scallop, salmon, sliced fish, squid and fake crab meat. We also ordered one of their most popular dishes (at least for me.lol), the "Seafood with Dried Garlic Fried Rice" ($9.95). This was good but would be even better if it was just a little bit more salty (and I don't usually like salty foods). To complete this meal, we had one more seafood dish, the "Spice and Pepper Salt Squid" ($6.75). This was basically deep fried squid with salt and hot peppers, although it is not spicy at all, the peppers definitely add to the flavour.
Congee Queen is also owned by the same people who run Congee Wong, but from my experience, Congee Queen is more clean and a little better. It is a great place to go with a bunch of people to share a variety of dishes that come in big portions at pretty cheap prices. The location that I usually go to is in North York at 895 Lawrence Ave. E., Unit 8 (across the street from LCBO at Don Mills Centre). They also have another location at Don Mills and Steeles, although I haven't been to that location before.
