Editorial Review for Congee Village – by Dan McAlvanah
The Scene
Much as its name implies, this quirky Lower East Side eatery evokes a village. The sylvan interior features a wooden hut, fake trees, a canopy of leafy greens, and a large mural of a sun-dappled mountainside. A small juice bar, where employees grind slushy fruit drinks, sits near the entrance. Service is rapid-fire and businesslike.
The Food
Thick bowls of congee, the rib-sticking rice porridge, are the main attraction. The 27 varieties cover everything from chicken and black mushroom to sliced fish and preserved egg. Cantonese-style casseroles and rice noodle dishes round out the offerings.

This food here is great and the prices are decent. But the wait can be a turn off. There is usually a long line so be sure to have some reading material to pass the time. Sometimes the service can be less than satisfactory. There seems to be insufficient servers/waiters. You'll feel this more on Friday & weekends. But I still wind up going there and waiting because the food is that good!
Pros: Great food at decent prices.
Cons: Long waits.

Great selection of food. Very tasty and reasonably priced. They also have a bar, which is not very common in many C-town restaurants. Also, they have different rooms for different occasions. This is very unique when combined with the good food. Would recommend.
Pros: Different types of rooms. Bar.
Cons: Some dishes that non-chinese people would find unappealing.
