" What a delightful experience! I visited Porridge King recently and ordered the wonton noodle soup. It was hands down one of the best I've ever had. The wontons were filled with a generous portion of shrimp, and the broth was rich and satisfying. I also tried the fried noodles, which were a hit at my table. Although the place is cash only and a bit crowded, the food made it all worthwhile. I am definitely a returning customer. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Porridge King and was thoroughly impressed with the authenticity of the dishes. I ordered the roasted duck and was amazed at how delicious it was. The skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat was tender and flavorful. The service was average; our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. I can't wait to return and try their porridge next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Porridge King multiple times, and the food is consistently good. The duck and pork are always tasty. However, I've experienced a few mishaps with my orders being incorrect. That said, the atmosphere is cozy, and the prices are fair for the size you get. It's a great spot for those who appreciate hearty Chinese dishes. Just remember to bring cash with you! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Porridge King was pretty average. While the food was okay, nothing stood out as exceptional. The service was quite slow during peak hours, and the restaurant felt overly busy. I had the wonton soup, which was filling but lacked flavor. I wanted to love this place, but I think I’ll try somewhere else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Porridge King given all the positive reviews, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. The duck was decent but lacked the depth of flavor I expected. The service was mostly inattentive, which was disappointing. The restaurant itself was rather basic, lacking any charm. I might return in hopes of a better meal, but I won’t go out of my way for it. " (*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*)
