Congee Wong

What is Congee Wong? Tucked inside Finch and Leslie Square at 11 Ravel Road, Congee Wong is a long-standing North York staple for Cantonese comfort fare and late-night cravings. The brightly lit, expansive dining room is built for efficiency and volume, packed with deep vinyl booths and large round banquet tables spinning with lazy Susans. It functions as an unpretentious, fast-paced neighborhood institution where Seneca students, multi-generational families, and night owls gather over steaming clay bowls.

Congee Wong Menu & What to Order The encyclopedic menu spans well over a hundred items, but the silky, slow-simmered congee bowls remain the headliners. Order the signature Super Bowl congee loaded with crab meat, fish maw, or fresh lobster, paired with a piping-hot crispy fried dough rice noodle roll (zhaliang) for dipping. Beyond porridge, the kitchen delivers exceptional wok hei with dry stir-fried beef flat rice noodles, blistered salt and pepper pork chops, and saucy Cantonese chow mein loaded with seafood. Wash it down with a classic Hong Kong-style iced milk tea or a fresh soy milk.

Know Before You Go Tables are seated on a walk-in basis, and weekend dinner rushes reliably create a queue at the door, though the brisk floor staff turns tables rapidly. The plaza offers ample surface parking, and TTC riders can catch the 39 Finch East bus directly to the intersection. Congee Wong is open seven days a week from late morning until 11:00 p.m., making it equally reliable for quick lunch specials or late evening comfort food.
