Absolutely fantastic experience and sad I haven't tried this sooner! My grandpa always wanted porridge here and I can see why! Friendly owners/workers and delicious food! //CONTEXT// Came here on Christmas Day! It was really busy with a lot of takeout orders. We came as a party of two, thankfully beat the rush as we saw more people line up to be seated. //FOOD// Porridge (fish): very flavorful! My husband who grew up eating porridge doesn't buy porridge since his family makes it all the time. He was left impressed at how good porridge can be. The fish is not "fishy" at all and soft Ca Thang Long: wow so impressive! I also go to another location for this but this one was better. A nice char at the bottom and very aromatic //PRICE// At time of visiting porridge was $11.50 and the fish was around $26 or $28? //SERVICE// The guy at the cashier who is a family member was so nice and told me about the history of the place. Food was fairly fast despite being busy //OVERALL// Love this place!

that fish, worth the drive and so are their congee. Decent service, the owner is welcoming and friendly. Your typical hole in the wall space but it is clean and bright. I definitely recommend a visit.

I was craving a cantonese breakfast today and I ended up finding this place on google maps. Im canto so I naturally gravitated towards the salty pork & preserved/century egg congee (皮蛋瘦肉粥). The pork that it came with was shredded pork and the century egg was cut up into quarters (or larger). Like some of the reviews that other mentioned - the fried dough is cold when it comes out, but im thinking that it may be that way because its supposed to be dipped in the hot congee anyways so I didnt find a problem with it. My total came to be $16 and with tip it was $20 for the congee and fried dough. It was an ok meal and the place felt really clean, but I dont know if I can justify the cost. Id say worth a try to see if its your preference but be prepared because its cash only! The servers were really kind and attentive!

The porridge was good and savory. The grilled fish combo with vermicelli and veggie was not bad. 3 things I don't like: The tables are not clean. Cash only. No rules for the waiting list. I waited 20 minutes for my table but some Vietnamese came after me and just took the table out of blue. Shameless!

Their Beef Congi / Porridge is the best, but the rest is based on your appetite!
