The Congee

The wontons were huge, packed with generous filling—not just pork, but big, juicy chunks of shrimp. The broth was flavorful, though I think it could use just a touch more salt. Overall, totally worth the $15. Can’t wait to come back!

Love this place! Always packed for good reason. The 牛腩湯麪 (Beef Flank Soup Noodles) is amazing - perfect broth (my Korean friends found it salty, but I think it's just right). The 皮蛋瘦肉粥 (Preserved egg + Lean Pork Congee) is a must-try - even my picky friends loved it! *Pro tip*: The beef flank noodles come with super tender 牛筋 (beef tendons). Not into tendons? Just ask for extra meat instead. Gets crazy busy, so I usually grab takeout. Heads up - they now charge for to-go containers, but honestly the food's worth it. Been coming here for years and watched them grow from cash-only to the popular spot they are today.

I drive for 1:30 m to get food for my employees and I order pork congee add pork River also egg the server say I can't add too many I said but am willing to pay and she yelled in my bestie's face I know she try to explain but the manner and hospitality are in very rude and I also told her I need her to wrap my food with produce bag and make sure is secure because I have been having a bad experience before. Here is my breakdown Food is excellent fresh and super hot ( temperature ) Ambiance is normal Service need to be improve

When we parked, we had trouble identifying the restaurant. From the parking lot, the only sign we saw said “海皇粥粉麵” and we were able to verify it was the right place by looking at old photos from other reviews on Google Maps. Shrimp Won Ton Noodles in Soup ($12.90): The shrimp wontons are indeed as big as other reviewers said. The soup came with four giant wontons packed with shrimp. The soup was delicious as were the wontons with no off flavors that I've had before at other places serving similar style wontons. The gailan/jielan (Chinese broccoli) in the soup was super tender and worked really well with the dish. Beef Stew Noodles in Soup ($12.90): The beef and tendon in this noodle soup were cooked to ultimate tenderness without the beef becoming stringy. Great flavor and excellent texture. Fish Tofu with Special Sauce ($10.25): This tasted like and had the texture of a light fried fish ball. Interesting to try, but probably just the once for us. It was paired with a spicy topping that worked well with the fish tofu. Special Pan Fried Rolls ($9.95): These are rice rolls are similar to steamed rice rolls but rolled tightly into cylinders and then pan fried and tossed in a sauce. It's like he fun / chow fun but many layers and rolled up. These were good, but we wished we spent $2 extra to get the Beef Stew Pan Fried Rolls. Oyster Sauce with Vegetables ($7.25): This was tender gailan (Chinese broccoli) cut into thirds and topped with oyster sauce. They were tender and cooked just enough. The bathroom situation was not ideal. The bathroom itself was locked (by accident). After they unlocked it, they cautioned not to use the lock on the door or the bathroom might end up locked again. There is a latch on the inside of the door to keep it from being opened when occupied. The bathroom is used for some cleaning storage and there were paper towels overflowing the wastebasket and no soap in the soap dispenser. After I informed them of the soap problem, they remedied it by putting a bottle of hand sanitizer in the bathroom.

Decent food, congee tasted good. Hubby ordered got mixed up, tho. Even though he pointed at the picture, somehow they gave him the wrong one. Plus, we were too tired to go back and complain. Still, it was pretty good. The place looks clean and very organized.

The wontons here are huge! Each wonton contain 3-4 shrimps in it, very succulent. The beef stew is also very tender as well. Food orders comes out quickly after order even on a busy lunch hour on Saturday. For take out orders the food is still hot and fresh tasting, they don't let food sit till cold or luke warm. They take phone orders as well, kitchen is very organized and fast like a well oiled machine. I ordered at the counter waited about 7-10 minutes to get my order. Take out orders were well packed with chopsticks, napkins, chili oil, red vinegar by default. Menu is in English and Chinese, while staff speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

I love congees. When I saw The Congee show up on my search results when I was in Alhambra. I want to try them. I was there before lunchtime. So I got a table right away. The restaurant is not very big. The service was okay. I like the food. The fish balls are very fresh, and the congee is very yummy! I know I'll be back!

With the name "the congee" you expect some really good tasty congee. This restaurant definitely pulls through on that and served a delicious bowl of flavorful congee. Got the duck egg and pork variation and wish I could have had another! The wonton mein with house fish balls was just as good and satisfying. The wonton were packed with shrimp and tasty; this soup dish could stand alone in its own restaurant! The salt and pepper wings were freshly fried and had a decent amount of seasoning. I wonder why we're given all flats and no drumettes though? Chinese thing? hmmm. Regardless, decent prices keep this place honest and people like me coming back consistently.

TLDR: My go to spot for congee and noodles. It's affordable, good, and it reminds me of a restaurant that I used to enjoy very much. Lo mein: You could pick 2-3 items that you want with your lo mein. I chose Beef Stew and Wonton because that's what they specialize in, and the fish tofu (fish cake) is something that I just haven't had in a while. I love their portions. Whatever main you get here will ensure that you will leave the restaurant full. The egg noodle of the lo mein was cooked well, and the flavors of your toppings take center stage. The beef stew is soft, beefy, and contributes to most of what you'll taste. The wontons are huge and you can see that they're made on site, the fish tofu is basically a fish cake that is mostly MSG, but it's fine. The soup on the side is a way to keep the relatively dry entree lubricated. Noodle Soup: You take the same advantages of the lo mein but just add more soup. It's really a question of how much soup do you want to have in your meal. Either way, it works. Dumplings: It's the weakest part of the meal, yet it still holds its own. I would recommend skipping this and ordering more wontons, but the dumplings do give off a gyoza feel and a different taste profile. Seafood congee: It's either the best congee that I've had in SoCal or the 2nd best. It's served hot, and the thickness of the congee keeps it hot for extended periods of time. The squid, fish, and shrimp inside the congee are all cooked well, and none of them turned rubbery even after an extended period of time in the hot congee. Flavor wise, it's not too strong meaning they used minimal to no MSG and it makes this a perfect dish for a cold day or when you're sick. Service: The staff kept an eye on our water cups, so we were always topped up. Otherwise, it's your classic Asian restaurant staff etiquette. Minimal interactions and pleasantries. All business. Orders, water refills, and payment. No issues with that. Ambiance: I'm a sucker for hole in a wall establishments that just do what they do. This place is no different. Ignore the restroom, ignore the floors, and ignore the kitchen. Just focus on the food and have a great meal.

It's so hard to find Cantonese beef stew noodles with wonton these days--seems like it's not a popular choice with the younger crowd. Back in the day, we used to go to Sam Woo all the time before they closed for good. Since then, we've searched high and low, trying different restaurants, but nothing ever measured up--until today. Finally, we found a spot that serves authentic Cantonese beef stew noodle soup with wonton, along with classic Cantonese congee. The restaurant itself is clean, though a bit dated, and the service was attentive and efficient. Definitely adding this place to our list of go-to comfort food spots!

We came here for lunch and ordered the Seafood Congee with fish balls, Wonton with Oyster Sauce Lo Mein, Beef Stew Fried Rolls, and Spicy Salt Wings. The Seafood Congee was absolutely amazing--smooth, flavorful, and very comforting. Adding a splash of red vinegar made it even better! If you're a congee lover, this dish alone makes the trip worthwhile. The Beef Stew Fried Rolls were pretty good. I thought the flavor was just right, but my friend felt they were a bit bland. Once we added some chili sauce, though, it really brought the dish to life. The Wonton with Oyster Sauce Lo Mein was just average. The wontons were large, but they didn't have much flavor, and the overall dish was nothing special. The Spicy Salt Wings were tasty but a little too salty for my liking. We arrived around 12:30 PM, and the place was very busy. Service was okay, though the hot water we ordered had a strange taste. Overall, if you love congee, this is a place worth visiting. Their Seafood Congee is definitely a standout!

We were craving wonton soup and found this spot on Yelp. There's ample parking in the lot and it's a small shop but they get the dishes out quickly. We ordered the shrimp & pork wonton noodle soup. The wontons were massive! And cooked well where they were plump. The noodles were also very springy. We were big fans of this. My dad even asked to come back twice during his visit here. The wonton noodle is such a comforting dish for the colder days. I saw someone get a 'dry' version with wontons, noodles, and soup were separate which looks bomb. They also have a 'you choose' option noodle soup with different beef varieties to choose from. The beef was tender and definitely worth getting as well. We also tried the pork and preserved egg congee which was decent. It wasn't as seasoned as I would like and think more addition of ginger would elevate it. Come for the wontons!

My go to place for congee and their wonton is huge! Soul food for me. I always order the wonton soup (no noodles) which comes with 6 huge wonton and veggies underneath. Small place so be prepared to wait before getting seated. This restaurant also charge $0.25 for each to go box you need.

Still great wontons and now their liver is good too in the wonton soups. Still great family-owned place. Delicious with two thumbs up.

When you are unwell, feeling sick and need porridge- load up 2 porridges and lock yourself while you stay in, medicate and rest.

Tried this place multiple times, always good. This time I am stopped by and tried the fish balls and beef balls with soup. I was pleasantly surprised it came with veggies!!! So so good!!!

The wonton pieces are enormous. If you get wonton noodle soup, it comes with 4. Wonton by itself has 6 pieces. I liked adding the chilling oil to make the wonton taste even better. We also got the congee with thousand years old egg and pork. It was very flavorful and not salty. Added the usual pepper to give it more of a baby kick. I think other people might add soy sauce for more flavor. Would come back here for congee. I read the they charged 0.25 for each to go container

Best wonton and really good congee! Their wontons are huge and are perfectly textured with full pieces of shrimp - by far the best wonton I've gotten at a restaurant. We always get the wonton in soup or sometimes with egg noodles and the preserved egg with pork congee. Service is super friendly and quick, small cozy restaurant. Ample parking in a shared lot, situated a couple doors down from kang kang.

Was craving Congee on a hot day, weird hot day cravings happen lol! Have been curious to try this place for a while, so I finally stopped by and ordered to go. I ordered shrimp congee, shrimp wonton noodles in soup, and pan-fried dumplings. The congee was great! It wasn't salty and had plenty of shrimp. The wontons were big and tasty with 3-4 shrimp inside each, and fried dumplings were tasty, but the soup base was very bland. The staff was friendly, provided quick service, and the place was very clean. I stopped by around 6 pm, and there was no one eating inside but did notice people ordering and / or picking up to go. It is located in a small plaza with lots of small Asian businesses and a small parking lot. Entrance through the back by the parking lot.

Best wontonmein in the SGV! Wontons the size of a small fist, with two shrimps per piece, and just enough pork to round out the flavor... perfect texture, and noodles also cooked just right. from growing up in NYC and having this in Mott st as a kid, and having looked from SF, to LA where I call home, this one truly takes the cake! come and get it

The Congee in Alhambra is a gem for anyone who loves authentic Asian comfort food. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The menu is extensive, offering a variety of congee dishes that cater to different tastes. Whether you prefer traditional plain congee or something more adventurous with seafood or meat, they've got you covered. The congee itself is perfectly cooked, with a creamy texture that's just right. The flavors are rich and well-balanced, making each bite a delight. They also offer a great selection of side dishes and toppings to complement your congee, like century eggs, pickled vegetables, and crispy dough sticks. The service is another highlight. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and ready to help with recommendations if you're not sure what to try. The portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. Overall, The Congee is a fantastic spot for a comforting meal, whether you're dining solo or with friends and family. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the Alhambra area!

The Congee is a very low-key place located in Alhambra. Found my way here after trying to go to a different restaurant and since that other place was full, decided to come here. This restaurant is very authentic in nature and it's menu selection has a lot of different menu items ranging from wings and congee! Lots of tables for indoor dining. Recommended Items -Beef noodle soup 8.2/10 - lots of flavor, not super salty and excellent beef quality -Chicken congee 8/10 - simple and delicious. -winga 8.2/10 - very well seasoned and juicy wing pieces. Lots of parking and service was excellent. Just an fyi they dont make amex only visa/mastercard.

Comfort food! Feeling sick, hungover or just tired of cooking... I like coming here for a nice big bowl of congee. The rice is cooked down to a smooth consistency and easy to eat. I like the chicken and abalone flavor or the pork and century egg flavor, classic. To fill up more, I get a side of fried chicken wings and they come out freshly fried. Mouth burning hot so take time to cool before biting, that's how made to order they are. Green onion and jalapenos give good flavor, so if you don't like spicy take care. Both Mandarin and Cantonese are spoken here by staff.

Great Chinese food...ok price You can't go wrong if authentic comfort food is your desired The Real deal

We got here just around 6pm on a Sunday and got seated right away. If you are looking for noodles or porridge entrees, this is the place to be! I got the "build your own" noodle soup with beef stew and wontons. You can either get the traditional thin noodles or the flat noodles (I got the flat noodles) and the portion is big as usual! The beef stew is super tender and flavorful (yet not overly salty) and I crave their wontons every time we are here! The wontons are huge and packed with shrimp and meat that with every bite comes with a perfect balance of chewiness and flavors. There is parking in the plaza and you can enter through the back door from the parking lot. Awesome comfort food that'll for sure satisfy your Cantonese noodle soup / porridge cravings!

[ Food ] Their congees are really good and authentic, I especially like the liver and seafood one! The egg noodles are also pretty good, I like how you can pick two or three items. The food is best eaten there and not to-go I've learned. [ Service ] Customer service is always nice.

Delicious dumpling soup. Broth packed with plenty of flavor and wontons were generously filled with fresh shrimp ( didn't have the over powering fishy smell) Each table has a variety of sauces that you can pair with your soup with. my go to was the chilli oil sauce. Servers were welcoming and courteous. Our waitress went out of her way to explain broth/side options as it was our first time being there. Overall I would give this place a 9.5 out of 10. The reason I didn't give this place a 10 is only because I wish they had more variety of appetizers to choose from. I definitely recommend this place. Try it, you won't regret it :)

I can always rely on the congee here when i feel unwell, it's practically a part of my care package! The seafood congee is my most repeated order (if you like variety in your food). Service is great, I can easily make a phone call and they have the order ready almost right away. While I have eaten at the restaurant, my most positive experiences have been with take out.

A small hole in the wall but every time I'm sick or feeling under the weather, I want porridge and this place never disappoints. Parking is in the back in the plaza at the corner of Garfield and Valley. I usually get the chicken and abalone porridge. It's one of the few spots that has this option and will give a decent amount of both. Other places usually only have chicken or will give only a few pieces of abalone but The Congee has always given a decent amount of both and I love it. It's satisfying, especially when I'm feeling sick... I feel like it nourished me back to health haha I've also gotten the Shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup too. And this always hits for that specific craving. I haven't eaten there in awhile. I usually call and order for pick up. They're run by people who mostly speak Chinese/canto but can get by with basic English. They're hard working people who get your food to you fast!

A no-frills hole-in-the wall with generous, highly satifsying dishes. Service and ambiance are minimal, but the food makes up for it. $45 for shrimp wonton noodle soup (4 wonton), shriimp wonton soup (6 wonton), and greens with oyster sauce, tax & tip.

Customer Service = 8/10 Freshness =9/10 Consistency = 10! Cleanliness = 8.5 Value = 8.5 Homey = 8.5 Courtesy = 9 Satisfaction = 9.5

My dad likes the congee and wontons here. Porridge with shrimp was just what he needed on a sick day. It's located close to the hospital and has a large parking lot.

The Congee is great for people who love Asian porridge and wonton soups or fish balls. This place surprisingly is really good and located in the heart of Alhambra. Even though this place is small and only has a few tables it gets busy with people waiting for a table. That is what happened to us for a party of four. The parking lot is shared by other stores in the back of Valley Blvd. If you live close to this area and you are craving some tasty porridge I would just get this place for to-go orders. You can call in which I saw many people were doing during lunchtime. I enjoyed my abalone and chicken porridge. The porridge has a nice consistency and the taste was just right. If you want to add a little kick to it you can put in white ground pepper which is in one of the glass bottles on the table. My friend loved the wontons that she ordered a second one just to have more of it. We also got a side of deep-fried chicken wings which I would say is a must to order! Come hungry and leave happy is what we did and I can't wait to come back for more.

This is a cute little place that has parking in the back! Very clean tables and definitely feels authentic with all the aunties and uncles working. My partner and I ordered the shrimp wonton noodle soup and the century egg & pork congee. Both were delicious in my opinion. We got the wonton noodle soup because other reviews really raved about this soup. And I think I'll agree--although it wasn't life changing. But the wontons are literally SO huge, and delicious. The broth was light and refreshing yet warm for a rainy day. Not that this was a big problem, but the veggies we got weren't that leafy? I feel like I was eating just the stem but that's fine! Yummy. The congee with century egg & pork was yummy in my opinion. Other reviews point out that it's bland and nothing to write home about, and perhaps it is partially true but congee is a very easy to digest dish! I feel like rice porridges in every culture are always made to be a little "bland" because it's an all age food, and part of the congee experience is adding in your preferred amount of soy sauce, pepper, etc. Also, someone else said that the century egg was cut up too small to taste. I disagree! It felt like good sizes in order to get some egg in every bite! Overall, I would definitely come back if I'm in the agree and craving congee.

If you come here you HAVE to get a variation of the wonton noodle soup. There are like 3 shrimp inside each giant wonton and you get 4 with egg or flat rice noodles. Both are good but the rice noodles will absorb the soup just so you know. The chili sauce is also a must! I don't find it spicy but it's so flavorful. I think it might be my current chili from ANY place. Your order will come out super fast too for many items since they're all premade or easy to prepare. That's all you need to know, come so they don't close down like the City of Industry location

If you're looking for a simple, cozy and comforting bowl of soup, you have to try their Wonton Noodle Soup! There's a reason why most of their reviews are about their wontons. They do have other classic breakfast options such as porridge (congee), salt and pepper wings, pan fried rolled noodles, beef stew noodle soup, etc. Very limited seating area in the restaurant and there may be a slight wait for breakfast on the weekends. Their wontons are stuffed with whole shrimps and juicy pork, simple seasoning that doesn't overpower the natural taste of the shrimp. Wonton noodles aren't over cooked and has the perfect texture. They have all the condiments you need for such a simple dish. Don't forget to add some of the chili oil crisp! Just the right amount of fried shallots, deep chili flavor and adds a slight kick. Spicy Salt Wings aren't that flavorful but perfectly crispy! They have no batter and are just fried by themselves.

Service is really fast, food was hot and delicious! We ordered the shrimp congee, beef rice rolls and shrimp wonton noodle soup. It's a small restaurant that's a little hard to find from the parking lot unless you can read Chinese. I believe it's suite number 19.

This is a little gem of a restaurant. Wonderful wonton Noodles soup & variety of jook, all tasty & affordable. Service was good, the staff was friendly and accommodating of our menu tweaks for the kids.

The congee taste amazing but I personally don't like the chicken flavor. However, can't go wrong with their wonton soup. The beef is very tender and the house fish ball taste so good.

Magi chicken congee. 8 of 10. Solid with subtle but very deep flavor Chicken tender. Good portion Beef stew noodle soup 8.0 of 10. Good broth meat tasty. Don't do the wings. No batter and lacking flavour If you want congee. Here is your spot.

I've gotten congee here several times and it's not bad. Pretty good and hits the spot. BUT when slurping the thin egg noodles they use in the Beef Stew and other dishes, it has a potent chemical smell almost like sniffing plant. I had a headache after two bites and returned it. I'm not certain if this is really how it's "supposed" to smell but it was off-putting and I lost my appetite immediately. I've never smelled that in my life and I've eaten more beef stews than I can count. Just a warning to those who experience the same thing.

Great comfort food . Definitely a congee place but nice wontons too . Reminds me of Hong Kong

I've passing by few times, it's always a full house, so I couldn't get in till now, right upon their opening hour. Very tiny spot yet clean w/good services. 1). Preserved egg/shredded pork congee: Preserved eggs in very tiny diced pc. Can not taste the egg nor pork. Porridge is not thin nor thick w/msg I suppose. Sorry, it's way below my expectation. 2-star 2). Lo Mein (dry egg noodle) w/wonton n fish ball. It comes in 2-pc of big size of wonton n fish ball garnished w/few pc of boiled veggie. Fresh simple w/no flavors: 2-star Honestly I just couldn't figure out what's the hype of this little spot where's always packed...

Came here to pick up congee and wonton soup for a little care package. Perfect place to get food if you're feeling down or sick since it's two in one Asian comfort food when sick. The prices are really good for the size they give you. I got the Abalone with chicken congee and it was flavorful and not too salty. They provided a lot of abalone and chicken in the dish so they didn't skimp! The congee texture was very smooth and more on the liquid side if you like that! I also go the shrimp wonton noodles in soup. This was amazing! It had four large wontons with big chunks of bouncy, flavorful shrimp inside. The soup was flavorful with umami and noodles were chewy! I would probably get this dish every time I stop by here as a staple.

If you have a cold or looking for a place to each on Christmas night, congee has best chicken noodle wonton soup. Ambiance is a bunch of locals in a small strip mall setting. Very san Gabriel Chinese noodle shop. Prices are very reasonable and soup is always very hot. Homemade wontons.

Place was a little hard to find from the parking lot. the shrimp wonton noodle soup is a must have at this spot. the wontons were flavorful and portions are good; i just wish the broth was a tad bit more seasoned with chicken. after tax and tip it was about 16.33 per person so a little bit on the expensive side esp for this dish. service was fast and speedy and inside felt nice and warm on a cold day.

The closest spot to HK style rice noodle soup with fish cakes, beef balls etc. IYKYK! One of my comfort spots - great place to grab a quick bite that's clean and light on the tummy. The dry noodles are NOT worth it, but the soup noodles are fantastic. My go-to is the rice hor fun noodles with squid balls and fish cakes. Service is straight-forward and fast. Not a place to sit and dawdle. But they do take card!

I liked the combo meal selections. The fresh steamed noodles were really good along with Chinese fried dough. Really good authentic HK milk tea as well, loved that they do refills. The congees were too thick from the corn starch I think. I would go back but maybe not for the congee. Great service, very friendly & professional staff!! We sat outside under the covered tent for lunch, was warm enough. Too small inside.

Such a good comfort food place for all the noodle soup and congee dishes I grew up with. Space is small but it's my go to spot for when I'm feeling sick or craving some congee. Not too salty and decent price.

I ordered the chicken congee and wonton noodles soup. Congee was delicious! Best eaten right away, I took the leftovers home and it wasn't the same. The JUMBO wontons were delicious! It's mixed with a little pork and BIG shrimp as opposed to smaller shrimp. Wonton dumpling itself is good. I think the best thing here is the congee! The wonton "noodle soup" itself is not bad at all, but NOT my favorite; broth needs more depth in flavor and better noodles;otherwise, very good! Sam Woo in San Gabriel has my favorite wonton soup. This place is cash only and prompt service. Bring a little sweater or something;they BLAST the AC up in here, brrrr. Parking in the back. I kinda love this spot!

If you're looking for a comfort meal like congee or wonton noodle soup, The Congee has very affordable meals. The portion is huge and they serve the food very fast. Although a small location, it gets packed. We got the 3 items (beef balls, beef stew, dumplings) noodle in soup and preserved egg with shredded pork pork congee. Their noodle soup is hearty. I enjoyed congee with preserved egg, but was not a fan of the shredded pork. Overall, a good place for those who like congee and wonton soup!

This restaurant is kind of tucked away from view when you park in the rear of the building, but it's a must find place. Upon entering, you can easily view a very busy kitchen making some fabulous tasting food. I haven't explored much of the menu, as I only go there wonton noodle soup. It's so good, with enormous sized shrimp wontons and a bounty of noodles swimming in a tasty broth. It's like magic! The staff is very polite and respectful to all the guests. Although English is a second language to them, they do try to ensure your order is correct by pointing to the menu. But since I go here so much, they just wave to me and point to an available table. If you're craving shrimp wonton noodle soup, definitely come here!

The Congee has been around for at least 15+ years so that's quite impressive given the extremely competitive food scene in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley). [Parking]: Free and easy plaza parking. [Menu]: Very simple menu as this Hong Kong style restaurant is best known for two key dishes - congee (just no breakfast congee combo) and wonton noodle. By default each shrimp wonton noodle soup has four giant wontons and customers can replace shrimp wontons to other selection such as house fish balls, beef balls, fish balls, fish tofu, dumplings, beef, or beef stew. They also sell lo mein too. [Service]: Standard SGV service and focuses on bringing food orders out, but the staff was very efficient and this restaurant accepts credit cards (an extra $0.25 fee). Currently as of July 2023 there's a shortage on Sriracha bottle, but they have Sriracha on every table and did not find a new hot sauce replacement so a big thumb up. *** #1 Shrimp Wonton Noodle in Soup ($12.90): Four giant wontons and I saw two employees wrapping wontons off to the side. Broth was savory and noodle was al dente. I literally cleaned out the entire bowl. *** This is one of the ultimate comfort food restaurants in the SGV area and a big thumb up for for serving consistent dishes that meet customer's expectation over years. While I can't say wonton noodle soup is the last meal I want to have, The Congee has one of the best wonton noodle soups in Los Angeles County. A solid 4.5-star on food and bump up due to efficient service, accept credit cards (an extra $0.25 fee), and not cutting corners on food quality.

I've come here often to pick food up, but something about the dried scallop congee is quite affordable and comforting. I've had their soups here and all the additions are cuhraZzzyyyy. I can always do without the noodles since wontons are always filling enough. Broth here is really clean and always hits the spot!

Comfort food! Wonton noodle, porridge and some other homey food! The place is very small with only few tables inside. Not sure about the hygiene, the roof was leaking when we dined there. Water dropped on our table.

Place to go too for a good wonton noodle soup love their wonton ,also their congee of course

I recently ordered takeout from The Congee in Alhambra and was thoroughly impressed. I opted for the beef stew and wonton combo noodle soup with hor fun, and it was simply delicious. The beef stew was tender and flavorful, while the wontons were fresh and perfectly cooked and plump with pork and shrimp. The hor fun was a good substitute for the regular wonton noodles. The chili sauce they included was a great complement to the soup, adding just the right amount of heat. The takeout was neatly packed, although it's worth noting they use styrofoam containers. Another plus is that they accept credit cards, making the entire experience hassle-free.
