Congee Royal

They are CLOSED!

The food here is so oily! They told us that they can cook the food any way we like… Less salty… less oily… No… The food still came out extra oily and salty.
Monster sized portions however it doesn’t make up for how oily the food tastes.

Congee Royal is good times. It’s located on the ground level of an office building facing Steeles. It’s hard to miss as there isn’t any other food options right around it. When I went for dinner in the middle of the week, there was plenty of seating and we were greeted by super friendly staff right away.
The menu is extensive and we ordered two carb dishes — a fried rice with spicy soft shell crab and a XO sauce rice noodle dish. The fried rice was very very tasty, though there wasn’t enough crab for the size of the dish. I found it a bit oily, as was the rice noodle dish. The rice noodle was not what I was expecting at it — it’s pretty much mini ‘cheung fun’ fried up all together with not much else. We had a mango dessert as well which was not as cold as I’d expect or as mango-​y.
The staff try very hard to please, the prices are decent, the portions and variety are large. All in all though, it’s a good option for Chinese food and once a few kinks are worked out, it would be worth a repeat visit.
