Reviews for Ann's Congee in Thornhill, ON
Awesome place for cantonese food! Pork and seafood are best! We are pretty regular to this place and will highly recommend. The... place is simple yet authentic. Portions are generous! We have done party orders from them and our guests loved their food everytime. Read more
Absolutely incredible food, best take out spot in the GTA. If you?re white and expecting a fine dining experience and being... waited on, this ain?t for you! They make incredible food which is the only thing that should be expected from a restaurant. I?mhere for the food, not to be waited on. Read more
Ordered take-out from Ann?s Congee. We called in around 5:00pm and they said the order would take 1hr to be ready. We still... continued to order as we weren?t in a rush, and glad they were honest with how long it would take. They are very busy duringdinner time, but the food is always great. Family owned business and the service is always friendly. Would highly recommend ifyou?re looking to support a local Chinese restaurant. Read more
Please don't come expecting a premium dining Cuisine experience, that's not it. This place is one of the best Chinese takeout... that is true to their taste with a very generous portion (orderes three items that lasted 3 meals for the two of us). Dining atthe restaurant is possible, but be mindful that it isn't very spacious restaurant. Anne explains it "like McDonald's" howevershe can be attentive if she is not busy. We didn't expect her to be attentive given how busy she was but she came out andapologized explaining how busy the night was and how they are operating in small number. There are various range of food tochoose from but their fried rice is true to its principle and the beef noodle is really good. Read more
I've been searching for a congee restaurant west of Markham and east of Mississauga. This area is barren of good Chinese food... options for the most part. Ann's peaked my interest after reading their positive reviews. Upon arrival, Ann's kitchen aromaswere worth drooling over. Our hopes were raised. Our takeout feast for two was ready at the counter. Ann's Special Fried Ricewas tasty though a bit dry, and came in a generous portion with shrimp, scallop and other seafood bits. HK Style Spicy Clam wasinfused with wok flavours and would've been delicious if not for the broken shells in every bite! The Chicken Congee was a safebet, smooth with large chunks of tender meat. With congee, I almost always order Deep Fried Calamari, and theirs was quitecomparable to the other more well-known restaurants. However, their Deep Fried Chicken did not impress the KFC fan in ourhousehold. The meat was too dry, the dark crispy skin was over-fried, and tasted just bland overall. Sadly I didn't get to meetthe friendly Ann, and food was mostly mediocre on this visit. I came for takeout because the restaurant was said to have limiteddine-in tables. Yet only 1 out of their 4 tables were occupied on the Sunday evening visit. Good flavours, wishing for betterexecution. Read more
Don?t expect customer service. They?re not interested. Expect excellent food. Shrimp and noodles. Shrimp wontons. Lobstah and... ginger. Eggplant with pork sauce. Shrimp and broccoli. All delicious. All wonderful. Not too expensive. Good, honest food. Beencoming for years and no reason to change. Read more
Great little spot. Food came out quick and hot. Ann was wonderful and gave us good recommendations for what to order. Portions... were good for the price. Would definitely recommend the turnip! The only thing is some menu items say vegetarian but they mightnot be. Make sure to confirm if there is meat in a dish before ordering Read more
I came across Ann's Congee in my never ending quest to find the GTA's best Beef Ho Fun (wok-fried rice noodle with beef, also... known as #12 on the menu) and was nicely surprised by what was served up. Since then I've had a few other dishes but always comeback to my one true love, lady Beef Ho Fun (the key ingredient being the "wok-smoked" flavour that many miss - you gotta almostburn it!). Anyway, more about Ann's... It's a hole in the wall but the food is served hot, flavourful and at a decent price.Great bang for your buck. Also her home-made chilli oil sauce is dynamite - I strongly recommend you grab one. And be sure toask Ann for any daily specials - sometimes you can get lucky with a big portion of fried eggplant or green beans for $6.99 or$7.99. And if you have a top Beef Ho Fun restaurant let me know! Sincerely yours, Jeff C., vice president and co-founder of theWorldwide Beef Ho Fun Fan Club, local 115 Toronto chapter. Read more
