Chi’s Congee & Noodle House

I would like to give it 4 stars as the food and service was great. However the environment was so hot that we couldn’t fully enjoy the the food. They should turn up the AC especially on a hot day like today. Otherwise if you would like authentic HK style food like congee and noodles, it is not a bad place to visit.

My second visit to Chi’s did not disappoint! We had chicken and duck congee, fried doughs, pork chop noodle soup, and a dish containing pieces of fried tofu with fish in it. This place has amazing food, and waitresses are efficient and friendly. I’m giving this restaurant five stars this time, because I noticed the waitresses can actually speak good English to tailor to non-​Chinese speaking customers. In addition, I was impressed with how good the food tasted even though I got the same dishes that I’ve had before. Yay consistently tasty dishes! I can’t wait to try different dishes next time I visit this restaurant.

If you’re craving for a congee then come here. They do varieties of congee seafood, mixed pork, clam, beef etc. try their oysters, won’t let you down 14.99

We decided to stop off at this place on our way to the US border making it our last meal in Canada. Originally, daughter was going to order the Chiu Chow Fish Slice Congee but the waitress said it was rice in soup. The daughter decided to switch over to Congee With Fish Slices instead. She liked it a lot especially with a side of hot dough fritters. The fritters were hot off the fryer and was delicious! Hubs ordered the Taiwan Rice Noodle With Shrimp And Duck. He thought it was ok but I thought it was bland. I ordered Sliced Beef With Raw Egg Over Rice. It was delicious. The beef was nice and soft and egg was nice and runny. It wasn’t raw as advertised. Service was ok. It wasn’t as friendly as the other restaurants I’ve been to but it was ok. Been wanting to try this place for a while and glad I did!

I usually go to Chiu Chow Man next door but decided to try out this place because I’ve heard so much about it.
Service: this is the main factor for the 5 star rating. The service here was great. The waiters were diligent, nice and prompt.
Food: so savoury and the hot and sour soup is delicious (not too sweet or sour lol). We ordered the garlic lobster, chicken chow mein, chicken hot pot, flat rice noodle with beef and black bean sauce and turnip dish. All were so great tasting!
The only con was that we got seated close to the door so it was very cold with the door opening and closing. It’s also quite cramped at the front so with the waiters trying to bring food in and people trying to walk by, it got a little congested.
I’m going to start coming here now for some tasty Chinese food!

I wish I can give 3.5 stars, but since I cannot, I rounded up to 4.
The Summary:
Good:
Reasonable price, Large portions, food comes out fast, CERTAIN dishes are very tasty, such as the seafood congee and beef chowfun, open late, friendly owner.
Bad:
Cash only, Dishes outside the Southern China such as Mabo Tofu are not good (it tasted like dog food, and I paid $ 14 cash that included tax and tip), dirty in appearance, be prepared to step into the washroom.
Verdict: B–
This place is worth checking out especially if you are craving for good congee, especially when the weather is cold. Don’t dare order northern dishes, or anything outside of Southern China. Remember to bring cash. Lunch time specials include a drink, which is a big plus. People who work here are pretty nice.

I’m craving for congee and tried this place for first time. All food we tried is very good. Young chow fried rice, beef brisket, congee with pork and preserved egg, fried dough and fried lobsters. Service is excellent too. Will surely come back to try other food.

I went to this restaurant around 9:10 PM on Thursday. Upon entering, we were offered two seats; to either sit facing the entrance (which was too cold) or beside the entrance. We asked to sit near the cash, in which case the waiter thought about it for a bit, but let us. The menus and tea were given to us after we sat down.
We ordered a seafood congee and the beef stomach. The food came quite fast. I really enjoyed the seafood congee because of the many ingredients in it including scallops, shrimp, fish, squid, and crab sticks. The beef stomach came on a bed of lettuce. I have to say, they stewed the stomach quite well, however I found it to be a bit too salty.
Overall, the food and service here was good. It was my second time here and I am pleased with the friendly staff and service.

Food was delicious. My wife and I have come here twice now and ordered the salt and pepper squid, congee (Great congee here), stir fried chinese broccoli and one of their sweet and sour chicken I think…
Service was not that great both times I went. The waiter/​waitresses did not smile at us or say much at all. Doesn’t really even look at us. The second time was a little better than the first– maybe they recognized us? The manager was very friendly though and she speaks Mandarin. I think most others speak Cantonese there.
They only take Cash so just a heads up! There’s a TD nearby if you need to take money out though.
I’d go back for the food and only for the food. The restaurant is well-​lit, crowded and noise level was slightly higher than average. But that’s a good ol’ chinese restaurant– feels like home :’)

This place has always been my go to for quick easy Chinese food. Congee is great, often it is thick and flavorful. Soup noodles are recommended too, along with side dishes to complete your meal. Really fast service, good price point and their food is decent!
Always a busy place so don’t be surprised if you have to wait or share a table with others!

We’ve been coming to Chi’s Congee & Noodle House for many years. We keep coming back because the quality is always the same. Dishes come out piping hot and very quickly after ordering. Service is efficient and friendly.
My only complaint is that they only accept cash for payment. It’s inconvenient in a time where most people don’t even carry cash. However, that’s a minor problem.
We’ve ordered many dishes from the menu, but one of our favourites is the hot and sour soup which is packed with mushrooms, soft tofu, pork strips, bamboo shoots and black fungus.
Another favourite is the fried turnip/​radish cake. We’ve had this at many dim sum places over the years, and Chi’s is definitely the best. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and they make it spicy (adding chopped chillies) at our request.
Our son’s favourite thing here is their Singapore fried vermicelli. Again, it’s something we’ve had at countless restaurants, but he claims theirs is much better than most. It has plenty of bbq pork, egg and shrimp in it and is just the right amount of spicy and salty.
Our favourite vegetable dish is the snowpea tips sauteed with extra garlic (ask for it). They arrive piping hot and have a nice amount of salt and aren’t watery or oily. Delicious!
When it comes to congee, the ground pork congee and scallop congee are two of our favourites. They are just the right texture and have plenty of protein added.
I could go on all day about the delicious dishes. We haven’t had anything here that we haven’t enjoyed.
The bathrooms leave a little to be desired, but that’s often the case at the more authentic Chinese restaurants.

I’ve been coming to Chi’s for years. I always get the bean sprouts fried noodle with beef. Service is great, order comes right away and the food is always tasty and hot (not to mention great prices!). If you go on a weekday, lunch specials are $ 7.40 and includes a hot drink. See pictures of beef noodle and yeung chow fried rice (lots of shrimp and BBQ pork). One of the best in Mississauga!

I regularly order here for takeout and it is always great.
My favorite is the Pork and Preserved Egg Congee. Tastes great every time and even the small portion is ALOT!
Also the Spicy Turnip Patties are a must! So good!
Service is always great. They are always friendly.
Cash only but there’s a TD bank across the parking lot.

This place is packed on weekends and ambience isn’t the best, but food is fantastic!!! (And honestly, what Chinese restaurant really has amazing décor and ambience…)
Great: plain and fish congee, fried doughnut and rice paper covered fried doughnut with dipping sauces.
Good: fried egg noodles with bean sprouts and pork.
The food is consistently hot and fresh and tastes authentic. The servings are generous and service is fast. Many of the staff have limited English abilities.

Came across this place on Unilocal and was craving some authentic Chinese food and was our patience well rewarded!
We called ahead to book for 7 and even though we arrived 20 minutes earlier we were promptly seated as soon as we mentioned our name!
Our Server Cheryl was amazing and was very helpful in her suggestions. We settled for the fixed dinner for 8 for $ 88 and what a treat that was! The feast consisted of:
Crab meat with Fish Maw
Stir Fried Two Lobsters W/​Ginger & Scallion
Chicken with Spicy Sauce
Stir fried Garoupa with vegetables
Stir fried special pork with black bean source
Deep fried Shrimp Balls w/​sweet and sour sauce
Deep fried fish W/​Soya Sauce
Snow peas tips w/​garlic sauce
White Rice (extra charge!) the only slight negative!
The flavors were spot on and the entire meal was enjoyed by all, we will definitely be back!

Great place to eat at GREAT VALUE AND TASTE!
Came on a Tuesday after Christmas expecting it to be dead considering it’s still kind of the holiday plus we just had a snow storm but to my surprise, this place was still busy. Dine in wasn’t particularly packed but they also take a lot of take out orders.
This place opens from 11:00 to 11:00 everyday.
Their food is cooked to great Asian standards and good portions. Prices are fair and service was decent.
Congee was good, cooked to perfect thickness and viscosity and good flavour. The food in the congee was fresh and big pieces.
Their lunch special starts at 11am and it comes with a side drink (coffee or tea).
Overall I’d come back for another fair and filling meal.

This place saved my sanity during my 3+ year hiatus in the west. It was my go-​to place for Chinese food whenever I had cravings. This place is an institution in the west and they deserve to be so.
Most of the stuff here taste fresh and great for the most part. You are not going to blown away by anything out of the ordinary but you won’t be disappointed either. As far as for the west, you probably won’t find too many places that serve Chinese food better than this place.
So there you have it. Fast, fresh and yummy. Get your Chinese fix here if you can’t make it into the city.

Back in the college days, this place was my favorite. After 10 years, it still is. If you are in Mississauga and can’t decide where to eat, come to this restaurant. I think this is the best place in Mississauga for decent price food. Some people might say their price is expensive compare to Scarborough, but here is Mississauga with no competitors…
Remember Cash Only here…

I have developed a serious love for this place. There are days where we need to remind ourselves not to go back so soon.
In the times I’ve been there, they definitely did not disappoint.
They’re quick, clean, and the food is authentic!
The portions are huge! Where in Mississauga can you get non-​westernized, authentic, Chinese food for under $ 10 a plate?
Their congee — hearty, not at all watery, lots of meat/​seafood. I’ve always stuck with my two favs; Lean pork w/​preserved egg and salted egg, or seafood congee. Huge difference compared to Congee Dynasty, Sam Woo and Emerald.
Rice and Noodle dishes are great too.
We tend to think with our stomachs when we order, and because of the large portions, we always end up with boxes of takeout for the next day.
Beware: If you visit on a weekend, or even during peak dinner times during the week, this place will be packed and you’re in for a wait.
If you’re super hungry, didn’t come with a large group and don’t mind adopting the ‘Dap Toi’ sharing table practice, you’ll be sure to be seating before everyone else. It’s a common practice in restaurants of Asian culture.
And again, as my fellow Unilocalers have mentioned, cash only!

Man ohh mannn is the food here awesome!!! I have never eaten at the restaurant and have always done take out. The first couple of times I ordered Singapore rice noodles and fried squid. Those are always good! However this time I wanted to be a little bit more adventurous and looking at some of the other reviews I ordered some of the dishes that kept coming up in each of the reviews.
So I ordered the lobster with ginger and green onions, shrimp with ground pork and black bean sauce, chicken fried rice, the fried squid (because it’s just that good) and the Chinese vegetables which is like a spinach /​broccoli type of crunchy vegetable served with oyster sauce on the side. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were great.
Definitely want to do eat in one day and try some more dishes out. When my family and I have Chinese food it’s usually hakka style, so it was very nice to have been introduced to a different style of chinese cuisine. Will be back again and again!!!
