Kongee Dinesty - Richmond

Doesn't get any better! Anyone who likes Canton food must try this place!

The oyster risotto is incredibly tasty and delicious. The soup base and toppings for the congee are fresh and flavorful! It's a restaurant that will make you want to keep coming back again and again!

Congee is the best congee I've ever had in Canada. The congee base is flavorful. The deep-fried dough sticks and beef intestines are crispy and fried to order. The fried rice noodles are dry and have plenty of dried shrimp. The best part is that there is no need to wait for a table. Just opened less than two weeks ago, with no advertising, so hurry and try it before it gets too busy! Open every day at 8 am!

One of my last days in Vancouver ended with a big bang. We came here around 10am and there was already a line out the door. After being seated we ordered the filet with sliced meat congee, pan fried turnip cake and Chinese donut. The congee had chunks of fish, was flavorful and came out in a big bowl which could feed 2 people. The chinese donut was my favorite here (nice amount of dough and crispy on the outside). We had to cancel our turnip cake as it took forever to come out. I would definitely recommend this place for their congee and chinese donut. Prices here are fair (approximately $10 per bowl).

Growing up in Richmond, I remember there being more options for congee but it seems like those restaurants have gradually faded away. Kongee Dinesty provides a choose your own toppings version, à la Deer Garden, giving a personalized spin on the classic comfort food. There is a choice of 3 congee bases (plain, seasoned, black pepper), an assortment of garnishes and 2 toppings (among the choices are various meats, seafood, egg) for $9.85. We ordered Pork and salted egg in black pepper base and Minced beef and preserved egg in seasoned base.
