" My visit to Porridge King was largely enjoyable! Their seafood porridge was rich and comforting, perfect for a rainy day. While I did have to wait a while for a table, I appreciated the cozy atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals, and the portions were generous. It's also important to note that cash is the only accepted payment, which can be a slight inconvenience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love how Porridge King serves traditional staples of Cantonese cuisine. Their porridge is the best in the area, packed with flavor and comfort. The neighborhood feel of the place adds to its charm. However, my visit was marred by the seemingly indifferent service, which could use an upgrade. Despite that, the food will bring me back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Porridge King used to be my go-to place for Chinese food, but my last visit left a sour taste. The service was subpar, and my order was incorrect. The food quality itself was still decent, especially the porridge, but it wasn't enough to overlook the service faux pas. I may give it another chance, but I'm cautious about returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a really great meal at Porridge King last week. Their sweet and sour pork was on point — not too sweet and full of flavor. I also loved the porridge; it was smooth and had the right consistency. However, the service was a bit slow despite the friendly staff. I noticed that it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, so it's better to go during off-peak hours to fully enjoy the meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week was my first time visiting Porridge King, and I have to say, I was impressed! I ordered the beef chow fun, which was excellent — plenty of beef and lots of flavor. The service was friendly, and my food came out promptly, which is always a plus! The place was busy, but it didn’t feel overcrowded like some other restaurants. Perfect spot for a hearty meal after a long day. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a rather average experience at Porridge King last weekend. The food was warm and fresh but lacked that wow factor that makes me want to return. The service was confusing, and the pricing strategy isn’t clear with the added fees. I appreciate that they offer a diverse menu, though. I may return to try the porridge on its own. " (*Curated Review*)

" Porridge King is one of those places which you have to visit when you're in the neighborhood. Their congee is simply fantastic! I ordered the seafood congee, and it was packed with fresh ingredients. The workers were busy, and the service was slow, but they were polite. It's a cash-only establishment, so be prepared. Don't miss out on their BBQ pork, which is equally remarkable! " (*Curated Review*)
